Good morning (good afternoon??!)!
Sorry for pulling a disappearing act but this is the first time I’ve been near my laptop in 24 hours. Work was insane yesterday!
Here’s a recap!
Yesterday on my way to work, I snacked on a carrot and almonds (exciting, I know):
Lunch was more leftover curry and an asian pear. I’m sort of addicted to these….love the crunch!
I went to my favorite coffee place on my break and grabbed the world’s best vanilla latte. Seriously, it was really the best latte that I’ve EVER had. I wish all y’all could experience Flying Goat Coffee…..its pure love. I also nibbled on this bar!
Berry is our newest flavor of the energy bars and I am addicted! I think I even prefer it over the chocolate ones….it tastes like something out of my childhood…maybe a fruit roll up or something? And so chewy! I love it!
I just stopped at home for a very brief second after work and then raced back out to meet some friends for dinner. We went to Underwood Bistro in Graton, which is a little town about halfway between Healdsburg and the coast. I loved it!!! I also loved that they had french onion soup on their menu because of course when I see that I HAVE to order it since it’s pretty much my favorite thing ever….
Oh, heavens, this was cheesy and delicious. I became absolutely addicted to F.O.S. when I was in Paris and now I just can’t help myself when I see it on a menu. There’s just something about it that gets me every time.
We also split this flatbread with blue cheese, walnuts and caramelized onions. I had one piece—
And, for my entree, I had the seared tuna, which came in a miso broth with udon noodles, edamame and wakame salad. It was delicious!
No dessert but I did have a cosmo with my meal!
Got home rather late and pretty much crashed, hence why there was no blog post yesterday evening. This morning, made an omelet with 1 egg + 1 egg white, spinach and a light laughing cow cheese, smothered in hot sauce, and an ezekiel muffin with raspberry jam—
Plus chocolate Superfood with almond milk!
Feeling much better now!
I’ve got some catch up work to get done today and then it’s fried chicken night at Zin with my other two misplaced southerners, Adam and Hardy. There’s just something about squeezing honey on your buttermilk biscuits that takes me the 3,000 miles home in a heartbeat.

Aloha, Amanda
That soup looks SO good! I love the melty cheese! Your eats always look so gourmet – not fair!
wow, everything looks amazing. Your love for french onion soup reminds me of my father. He loves it and orders it at every restaurant that serves it.
Cute green polka dot plate

I’m doing the same catch up day today! Sundays are great for that. That flatbread looks amazing!
The French Onion Soup looks fantastic! I love it when it’s served in a dark, rustic bowl with the cheese dripping over the side!
Looks like a wonderful dinner – the FOS is perfect for fall and winter days, I need to bring that back into the rotation.
Wonderful day of eats! Particularly the Asian pears, french onion soup, and pizza.
Oh, and, honey on buttermilk biscuits? Yummmm, the South knows food, that’s for sure.
I just bought my first container of Amazing Grass Amazing Meal! I want some right now! But I’m saving it for after my workout this afternoon!
Mmmm french onion soup is my favorite!
All the food looks amazing, especially that French Onion Soup! French Onion Soup is an obsession of mine and the cheesey goodness of that one just looks amazzzing!!
That FOS looks SO good! Major food envy over here!
Have a great time tonight! Buscuits + honey = complete comfort food.
Honey + biscuits is indeed heaven. Enjoy your Sunday!
Have fun tonight with your fellow misplaced southerners
I grew up in Georgia, so I’m ALL about honey and fried chicken and biscuits. Sometimes I get strange looks from my New Yorker friends when I ask for honey at a restaurant, but it’s so good!
I love French Onion Soup! Have you ever had it at Jason’s Deli? Soooooo good!
Everything looks so good! Jealous of the fried chicken night
yum in my tum. Can you send some loyal readers those amazing grass bars? Ya know…for research.
Anyways, have a great Sunday with your boys!
I want to try the grass bars so badly but at $2.50 a bar(at whole foods) I’m not pulling the trigger on those!! I don’t understand why they are so pricey-you can get an entire box of kashi bars on sale for that price. Maybe if they lower the price to something reasonable I will be able to give them a try!
I love french onion soup and that bowl looks so delicious.
That flatbread looks to die for! Caramelized onions and blue cheese are a match made in heaven.
Asian pears are the same price of regular ones here, I need to try them!! And the “FOS” looks aaawwwesome. How can something covered in melted cheese not taste delicious?
Have fun at fried chicken night!
YUM…that meal looks awesome.
I feel you on the misplaced Southerner thing
Have a great Sunday!
Wow; that seared tuna looks ta’ die for…yummy, Jenna!
OMG that flatbread!!!!!! It looks crazy good!
French Onion Soup! YUM!
Everything looks fantastic! Lucky you!
Wow, your entree looks phenomenally delicious!
Hope the rest of your weekend was wonderful.
with love,

That tuna looks awesome!
If you weren’t so fabulous I would hate you for being able to indulge and stay so cute! The curry and pear sounds amazing – and the spinach omelet the next day was a perfect choice! Hope to add another displace Southerner to your group soon – I hear Shrimp & Grits with fried okra crying your name!
That soup looks unbelievably yummy and cheesy! Do you ever eat a bad meal there? The food looks incredible! I am drooling!
I would love to try the berry whole food bar! I wonder if they have it yet at my Whole Foods. I’ll have to check and try it out! 
Love French Onion soup…. yum! My mother-in-law makes a really good one. She hasn’t made it in awhile…. hhhmm…. may need to put in a request for it.
I love your Sunday night dinner plans! You guys probably feel at home when you’re all together.
That french onion soup looks amazing!
ahh, that french onion soup and entree look AMAZING!!
Love French Onion Soup & gourmet flatbread pizza & good fried chicken for dinner sounds delicious right now, too. We used to go a popular dive ‘The Nugget’ in Summerland next door to Santa Barbara on cold Sunday nights. Everyone from Ronald Reagan to Bill Clinton went there. They also had biscuits and honey, but unfortunately sold the place. So I’ll have to enjoy vicariously through your pix…saves calories!
Your entree from last night looks delicious. I like the idea of fish in a miso broth. I’m going to look for that at restaurants from now on. I love miso soup, but it’s usually my app
French onion soup is a divine treat. I love it when it is super cheesy!
I will have to try that new berry flavor! I love the chocolate one!! Do you work for Amazing Grass??
Tiffanie,
I do! I’m their new social media manager.
Mmmm…French onion soup is one of my all-time favorites and that look likes one amazing bowl! I live overseas and have been searching for a source of Amazing Grass and guess what?? I found one that will ship directly to me, so I’ve got some SuperFood and bars on the way. Kinda wish I’d grabbed a box of the berry bars now…next time!
French Onion Soup is my favorite as well! And I love getting flatbread at restaurants! Turns out better than at home!
And I decided that I need to try that Amazing Grass! I will go on a hunt for it tomorrow!
How is Dexter settling in? I’m sure he is happy to be with you! Just not used to the chilly weather!
I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
You make the most perfect lookig omelettes!! I need to learn your skill.
I feel ya on the French Onion Soup. It is the yummies food ever, besides chicken wings.
Imagine my excitement when I discovered I could make it at home! Ahmazing.
