I decided I’d better order some KERF gear to sport my logo –
The best thing about this bowl? The surface area!! It’s very wide and not that deep so there was TONS of room for toppings to spread about the amber waves of grain -
The Mix:
- 1/3 cup oats, milk, water, 1 tbsp raisins, pinch salt
- 1/2 cup canned pumpkin, stirred in at end
- 1 tbsp ground flax
- 1 tbspish sliced almonds
- 1 tbsp pumpkin butter (new kind, see below)
- Sprinkle coconut butter
- Spoonful Barney Butter
My parents gave me this local pumpkin butter for Christmas. It’s sweetened with concentrated prune juice instead of sugar. It was good, but took me a while to get over the fact that it tastes more like a pruney pumpkin than a cinnamon spice pumpkin 
3/4 a cup of coffee (French press shared with the husband)
TOTE CONTEST!

The bumper sticker:
Workout
The husband chose his pillow over his bike this morning so I had to drive to the gym. I had a great workout though! Lots of energy. I did 40 minutes climbing the Stepmill (some days 30 minutes is painful but today 40 was effortless – strange!) and ended with 10 minutes on the Stat bike. Instead of doing weight lifting, which I was not in the mood for, I came home to do 20 minutes of Power Yoga #2! Natalie is not my favorite instructor (I hate to admit it when I don’t care for an instructor’s style!) but I liked the moves in this class a lot. I really, really liked ending my workout with yoga. It made me feel much calmer as I got in the shower, although I was more rushed due to the time crunch of an extra 20 minutes.
Please don’t attack me for stating this fact: I tried on 3 pairs of pants this morning and they were all tight.
To class I go…

Your video is adorable… I didn’t know you had a bit of a southern accent!
I’m crossing my fingers that I’m the lucky winner of the tote bag… you can never have too many bags and this way I can support KERF, too
pick me pick me!
How recently did you do laundry? Occasionally I’m thrown into a panic when my pants are snug, and then I realize they came out of the dryer yesterday.
Also, sweet tote.
Don’t worry about the pants, it happens to most of us! =) Sometimes they are just tighter on somedays and loser on others…haha! Good Day!
awww the pants! i hate that. i wear tight pants to begin with, so there is virtually no wiggle room!
pick meeeeeeee
I just recently started following your blog…love it…so encouraging and the recipes have been great!!! Would love to win the bag too!
Getting back on track after the holidays is always hard for me. Beyond the normal holiday goodies i have seven family birthdays between the end of december and feb 1st (including my own) all those little extra celebratory bites really add up! i tend to get really motivated right around this time. good luck!
Ditto what Kirsten said!
By the by, I tried your tofu tutorial Saturday, and it was great! It is by far the best that I have tried with regard to texture, and I loved the sauce!
I’ll be making more this week to bring to work for lunch.
Oh…a few weeks ago I sent you an email about freezing the pumpkin butter- it was fine.
Great tote!
Hi Kath, I am excitedly awaiting my first shipment of Barney Butter! Thanks for all the great recommendations. The KERF gear looks great.
Cute tote! and about the pants… don’t worry too much about it. Hopefully you just shrunk them in the wash
blerg about the pants! hopefully it’s just a water retention thing. either way, it’s a new month and a new start to get back on track to healthier eating more of the time. now that the holidays are mostly over for a while, it should be easier to avoid regular indulgences.
i am now hooked on yoga too! i’ve still only done the gentle hatha II and the lunar flow, both of which i really enjoyed. i think this week i’ll try the yoga for runners (i’m sad there’s no free yoga for cyclists to try out.) happy monday! (is there a monday dance?)
Have a good day and I’m looking at Feb as a fresh start too. I am so glad Jan is over!
Crossing my fingers that the random integer generator picks lucky number 13!
I am totally feeling your last comment about the pants…don’t know why but the last few weeks don’t feel so great on my body
Hate when that happens!!
Love the oatmeal bowl!
Don’t worry too much about the pants! Sometimes its a just water thing and if not, watching your intake for a few weeks should help. I recently realized that I’d been carried away with the snacks recently (a handful of almonds here, latte there) and now that I’ve been more mindful the couple of extra pounds is melting away.
I am determined to win a KERF contest one of these days!!!
I was watching HGTV the other day, and did you know that there is a specific technique to cutting wood that’s called “kerfing?” LOL.
I want KERF stuff!
I bet the pants shrunk in the wash, we all no it’s not you! And I’m sitting on a plane about to take off for Rdu. Commenting from seat 7c
Don’t worry about the pants. Maybe their was just a lot of salt in the food last night. Love all the KERF stuff.
Love the bowls- surface area is key. Ditto with Caitlin- I am always in tight pants
Love the tote! (and the bowl
)
Love your new kerf bowl and tote bag!!
KERF gear! Love it, I’m totally eyeing the (dog)bowl! awesome
LOVE that bowl! and the tote!
Eh – tight pants happen to all of us
I can’t wait to get a KERF Oatmeal bowl. It looks fantastic!
i love the tote! please pick me! lol
re: pants… dont think too much on it.. if they are still tight in a couple of weeks.. then think about it!
treating yourself every once in a while is much more important than loosely fitting pants, remember that! besides, it’ll be no time before you slide right back into them… and i love that tote!
Awesome tote, I have quite a collection for grocery shopping and I would LOVE to add to it!!
I love the tote!
I tried on a dozen bridesmaid dresses this weekend – I know what it’s like to have things fit tightly!! Ick. But, it’s a new week and a new month – we can do it!
i wanna win something!
awwww i like your bumper sticker and bowl! the oats look delicious this morning
i would tote-ally love a tote haha
Hmmm, tight pants? Probably nothin big- I agree with Mariposa on this one! Awesome KERF gear, though!
Have fun in class!
Happy or not so happy:( Ground Hog day. The ground hog saw his shadow…so 6 more weeks of winter. I think winning the tote will improve my mood
Me, me, me! I would love to stop looking like a 5th grader with my lunch box.
Y0U L00K BEAUTIFUL in that video! Such a glow!
Yay for the contest! And no worries girl, you are the QUEEN of health… You got it goin onnn
Y0U L00K BEAUTIFUL in that video! Such a glow!
Yay for the contest! And no worries girl, you are the QUEEN of health… You got it goin onnn
yeah free tote!
Hi! I really like your new oatmeal bowl! I love how you can fit more toppings on it. I always have that problem–not enough room on top for all my toppings! Have a great day. You’re awesome!
pick me, pick me!
I want to rock a KERF bag!
Natalie is my favorite instructor too!! great tote
You should do more video blogs! The oats look great in your new bowl, love the tote!
Don’t worry about the jeans, it happens somedays.
Yay KERF!
love the video! You are so cute! the banana’s nice touch. I would love you bag, and your banana’s hehe! The stairmaster, wow I am jelous I can not stand those machines! do you read a mag or listen to music or watch tv while on it?? Just wondering because if the pain is not killing me the bordem is! Have a great day and i always love your oats!
winner winner chicken dinner!
I stumbled upon your blog last week and you have been my inspiration all weekend. I know I feel better when I eat well and jog (I also heart yoga)
. I was just thinking…hmm, I’d like some KERF gear….and waddya know, your offering so I’m posting. Don’t worry about the pants…your focus is superb! Thanks for motivating me!
That is such cute stuff. I love your blog!
that shirt is sooo cute! I would love the tote too…
I’m slightly obsessed with totes. Sooooo here’s my comment!!!
CUTE bowl!! Those are the kind of bowls that I like
Don’t worry about the pants – if anyone should slam you for that, shame on them! It happens to everyone!!
hehe don’t worry about the pants miss tiny thang, it happens to all of us :] i’m sure it’s just a bit of water weight or something. we gain a little, we lose a little. you’re still one of the healthiest people i know. i’m always amazed at your willpower and how you eat and exercise!!! kudos!!!
the oatmeal bowl is ADORABLE!!! i love it. and woohoo to cute KERF totes!!! i wanna get one to show my kerf pride :]
This would be the perfect addition to my tote collection!
Thanks for the opportunity to win a great new tote! I too am feeling the effects of an overindulgent January. But it is a new month and we will get through it!
Love it!!
Kath, I love your blog and I think your blog would be a great asset to Shape or fitness mag online. The pants, thats all they are, just pants. You are beautiful, in awsome shape, and you really do glow in that last entry. You prob just washed them and we have all had those days when somthing feels a little too tight. Your KERF line is amazing, you should totally come out with your own line of oatmeal and I would buy it. take care earthybrit@yahoo.com
We eat real food too and we love the tote!
(that is what my three year old wanted me to say!)
Do the bananas come with the bag if I win?? (kidding!)
I’m not feeling so good about my pant fit lately, either!
It’s a new month and a new week so no worries!
Cute video–love all the KERF goodies!!!
The weather looks so warm and sunny! The tote bag looks awesome
Nice gear Kath!
Love your bowl! Definitely the perfect size and shape for oatmeal.
I love your contests, Kath!
Ooooh, super cute tote!
Pants haven’t been washed in a long time…. it is probably water retention + overeating combo.
I hate when my pants don’t fit! Have a great day.
Bananas are my favorite fruit too! what a cute tote bag – thanks for the contest =)
I know what you mean about surface area with your bowl – it helps spread the toppings out more evenly.
love the tote bag! we could definitely use another one for grocery shopping.
That tote is so cute! No worries about the pants. They’ll fit normally in no time.
The KERF stuff is all so cute!
And I hear ya about the pants…a little too much fun in January has made my pants tight in February. :/
crossing fingers for the bag! no worries about the pants. it’s them not you!
Perfect grocery tote : )
The bowl looks great!mmmm I love prunes so I’d probably love that butter!
Love the tote! I’m so jealous that you’re able to sport your short sleeve OUTSIDE! send some of that warm NC weather up here!
My body always retains a lot of water after a night/weekend of drinking — your body may still be retaining water due to the dehydration. I know wine especially always does that to me! Anyway, love the KERF gear
Love the new KERF goodies! I totally understand the pants thing…but remember, consistency is key and gets results! Stick to what you’re doing girl…it will be all good soon!
Morning Kath! I am totally in love with the tote I pretty much need it for my grocery shopping! Its awesome! Dont sweat the pants thing, cant say that I blame you for worrying because I woke up this morning and weight myself and gained 2lbs and for an instant thought the world was over, soon realized it could be anything water retention, could be that time of the month….ya never know! You look great!
LOVE THE BOWL!!
And hey, I’d never attack you, Kath!! Check my Facebook status regaring that issue though
Because of your blog, I look at oatmeal in a whole new different way. I am trying to lose weight & lower my cholesterol by eating healthier & trying to exercise more. My husband likes all the new creative ways I come with for oatmeal and I have you to thank for that!
My pants were tight this weekend too! I also went to Costco and loaded up on the fruits and veggies. I am planning a mini detox week to welcome Feb. I am thinking of it as a new motivation.
Love the stuff!
love the new bowl, it looks really cute
Just wanted to say that the Barney Butter I won from the previous contest was AWESOME. I’m down to scrapping the sides and waiting to go to Fresh Market to get a new jar.
I love your accent on the video.
My clothes have been tight since October! I’m trying to work on workout consistency and monthly goals (trying to do 30 push-ups everyday is Feb’s goal) instead of concentrating on weight. I hope you don’t worry too much!
I love bananas and the new KERF stuff!
Great bowl, Kath!
Maybe the pants just shrunk in the dryer???
Have a great day!!
Don’t worry about the pants being tight….Mine were tight after vacation 2 weeks ago and after a week and half of being good, they fit better than before. And I love the t-shirt!
Your oats looks extra scrumptious today in that awesome bowl!
Don’t worry about the pants thing… it happens sometimes. Have a great day!
Cute video! Love the bag and all the other goodies. Off to have oatmeal.
Trust me, I felt the same way yesterday (regarding the too-tight pants), and it can totally put a damper on your day.
But that’s what makes the LOOSE days sooo much better
I think these are my favorite mix-ins. I am especially fond of the little hint of coconut, YUM!
Love the bag! So cute & I would love to tote that around town.
… well i think that it is better to gauge your weight by pants fit more than by the scale… it could just be bloating; in either case, the worst thing you can do is stress about it… just move more and eat a little lighter! still, don’t worry, you’re beautiful! the winter is tough for everyone :/
The videos great!
Also, I am in love with the shape of your new bowl. It looks perfect for oats!
pruney pumpkin sounds really good
That bowl is awesome- I’m always spilling out of mine! My fingers are crossed to win something cool!
YAY for KERF paraphenilia!
And on the tight pants…I agree with the dryer theory….I wouldnt worry too much about it!!
Love the tote! Yay for green bags!
PICK ME PLEASEE … I really NEED a tote bag!!!!
I’m feeling a little tight on the pants today too. All that wonderful super bowl food. GO STEELERS!
Gosh, why would anyone attack you for saying that?
It could be anything! Just washed pants always need a wear to loosen them up, sodium, water…who knows! Pants are a mysterious thing! (Like why can’t I find any that flatter me? Ah well…)
See, that’s why I wear yoga pants 24-7. Gotta love that breathable cotton and elastic waistband!
Ooh, ooh, pick me! I love totes and that one looks perfect for groceries!
And don’t feel too bad about that tightness this morning–it is the beginning of a new month and a perfect time for renewal. You’re such a healthy person and a great role model, Kath!
aweome goods Kath! Hope i’m lucky enough to win
Kath – I’m right there with you on the pants this week. Time for me to refocus
pick me pick me!
i’m having the same pants problem!! ugh..
Love the gear! Those oats look yum too.
Don’t sweat the pants…I always say to myself “This is only temporary.” Always helps!
I would love to have that tote!!! I am not a fan of tight pants either
would love the tote!
Cute stuff!!
Ugh, I hate days like that- when all of my pants feel too tight
It’s probably just water weight after a big weekend.
if its that kind of day…i take the pants throw them against the wall and wear a cute dress….lol….thought that might help.
no worries though…we all have the days of wiggling for five minutes, doing squats in serious attempts to fit into our jeans.
p.s. pickkkkkkkkkkk me!!!!!!!!!
I tote real food!!
Isn’t that the worst, when your pants are tight? It’s very frustrating.
Good luck with the contest everyone! =)
1. i have my i eat real food long sleeve shirt, size medium, and it kicks butt. I wore it to the gym twice already, and people have made comments! i hope they visit ur site from it!
2. love the little video! i have speakers at work now so i can watch yay!
3. sorry about your pants. I am sure that with a few days of clean eating they will be loose again! that’s what maintaining is all about right? the squiggly line!
4. I WANT THAT TOTE! I need something for my market trips, and I feel that would be PERFECT!
Happy Monday! I’d love to use that bag for the gym/grocery store!
Would love to win…you were the first “food” blog I came across and I love reading all of your recipes.
sometimes too tight pants after a fun weekend are totally worth it!
I have been lurking for quite some time, but love your site. I don’t eat too bad I don’t think but I keep trying to eat healthier and this site helps with the recipes and videos too.
I tried the stovetop banana oatmeal the first time this weekend and it was great! I also tried the kale chips last week and loved them too. I have been making the veggie lasagna for a few months now since that is so easy and makes a couple of meals for me since my husband won’t eat it! The oatmeal snack bars are yummy too.
There are still a lot of recipes I want to try though so I will keep coming back!
Pick me!
Keep up the good work.
I love the TOTE!! Pick me!!
I’m still trying to lose the weight from the holidays so I totally understand the tight pants!!
Love the KERF gear! Would love to win the tote!
This is my first comment ever! I’m Josh Coyle’s wife and I’ve been stalking you since he showed me your blog probably close to a year ago now.
I love it and am so thankful for your daily inspiration to eat healthfully and enjoy it…I am a total oatmeal-aholic now thanks to you (and Josh is becoming one too). Have a happy Monday! That tote would definitely join us on our weekly Earthfare trips. 
That’s a cute bowl! It looks like my dog’s food and water bowls…haha. (I mean that as a compliment – my dog has some very nice bowls!)
Regarding the tight pants – I’m sure I speak for every woman reading this – that we can all relate completely. It happens!
I bought a box of Kashi Heart to Heart cereal on Saturday morning and it was completely inhaled by Sunday afternoon. I didn’t even use milk. Enough said. I reached straight for my ‘looser’ pants this morning!
nice bowls you have
Love the tote!
you are so cute!
About the pants I am so glad you posted that it makes me feel alittle better when mine are tight. I am sure you will know exactly what to do to fix it!
Oh and pick me!!
Love the tote bag! I could use it to carry my stuff to the gym!
Abbie
Such a cute tote! I would love to win!
I am giving away a case of popchips every day this week if you want to stop by my blog too!
I love totes! I love that bowl too, it’s awesome! =]
Ha, yeah, I had the same experience this morning, and every morning in the past two weeks. Time for a diet clean up for me!
Tight pants are my worst enemy!!
In happier news, love the video! Good choice on the bananas
The shirt looks great on you, too!! Thanks for the chance to win some KERF gear! If I’m not the winner, I think I might just have to order that oatmeal bowl anyway. It’s too cute not to!
Very nice tote-Have a great Monday!
Blech. My body has been crabby with me the last few weeks. I have been maintaining a 25 lb loss for like a year and a a half, and my weight has fluctuated more the last few weeks then it has in those 1 1/2 years. I dont know what the deal is. My diet has been the same as always. But i guess my activity has been way down because well, its been -30 here off and on the last few weeks (no joke) so my usual walks have been not so usual.
Sorry ill quit complaining. Super cute tote. Pick me!
Cute tote! A girl can never have enough bags!
have you actually weighed yourself? that might dispel any doubts — especially since you seem to do a lot of muscle building exercise.
Ooooo…I love your new logo Kath! The tote would be perfect to take to the gym and/or grocery store.
Such a cute tote! I’m also loving the initial mugs and may have to pick some up for us.
Meh tight pants. I hate that feeling.
Yeah, ALL my pants are quite a bit tighter after this holiday. I’m trying to get back into the swing of things but it’s always a hard transition from celebrations & indulgences every week (or day) to just a normal healthy routine. You’ll get back to normal in no time!
I’d love to win a KERF tote!
The yoga instructor’s style totally affects how I feel about a class. Its not unusual…
I’m sorry about your pants! I know how you feel…I’m right there with ‘ya!
no worries about the pants! it is winter time and our skin grows thicker to keep us warmer.
Love the KERF gear. Hope I win
I would love a tote bag… my fave of all the KERF gear. If I don’t win I think I’ll buy one anyways
Kath is Kool!
And I’m digging on the KERF tote!
Me love KERF!!
I love KERF!
KERF for the win!
I need a bag for my groceries! Trying to get those evil plastic bags outta my house!
1. yeah for contest!!!
2. pants are always tighter on MOnday’s I say….when it doubt blame it on a case of the Mondays!
I’d love a KERF tote
Don’t worry my jeans were a little too tight today too… It may be the laundry or too much salt!
Kath rocks!! Tote me up!!!
Cute Video! Love the KERF gear! I think I’m going to order a mug! I wouldn’t worry too much about the pants!
Love the tote! And…with the matching tote I think I would have to get the Jersey Shirt….love the fit.
Please random integer generator, pick me!
It looks like a doggy bowl! I love the logo.
I would love a Kath Eats tote!
Love the tote! I’ve been feeling a little over-indulged lately too, lots of eating out and food at parties . . . all the more reason to work-out harder!
-kristen
that bag is adorable! I’m a college student who walks to the grocery store when its warm out so it would be perfect! =)
Cute bag! Turns out I am a bag whore. I love them!
I always like hearing your accent!
My first comment – been reading for over a year and love the blog…and the tote!
i love KERFFFF
I love real food, and I love free stuff, too!
Why would people attack you for saying your pants were tight?
Ugh, tight pants, that is totally me right now. Of course it’s great for my running (excess glycogen maybe?), but a little sad for my self esteem. It seems like if I gain one pound it goes straight to my middle…
Your oatmeal is beautiful and looks so yummy!
Kath, you rock, and I’d love to win a tote
What a cool idea to get a bowl with your blog on it; love it! =)
Love your kerf stuff…
Great KERF gear!
Ooh the bowl does look perfect size. I hate when my bowls are so deep I can’t make my food look pretty lol. By the way I had your pumpkin oatmeal pancake this weekend and it was amazing!!
I’d love to win a tote!
Pants being a wee bit tight at the end of January isn’t a big disaster — I’m sure you know that. The past couple of months have involved not only the holidays for you, but a vacation and lots of fun events with friends involving food and wine. All things considered, I think you’re maintaining a really good balance! Some people gain a lot of weight over the winter! I cast my ballot in the alcohol/dehydration/water retention camp.
Exercise-wise, keep doing the yoga and plenty of cardio!
I read you every day, love your oat concoctions and your presentations.
wow, it’s a comment explosion!! i’m entering for the tote, too
.
and the surface area of the bowl does seem perfectly designed for your oatmeal-style. it’s good to see the bowl in action because, i have to admit, i was one of the ones who thought it was a pet food bowl at first, whoops!
hate tight pants days, grrrrr. with the way you work, though, they’ll be back to perfect in no time!
ooooh I might just need one of those t-shirts!
Don’t sweat the pants Kath- you lead your life with balance, the pants will fall into line! Have a good day!
Great tote! What do you think is the cause of the tightness?
Loved the video- your accent is cute (and for some reason, I wasn’t expecting it, so also a surprise!).
The tote would be great for grocery shopping!
the amber waves of grain look delish
and i love the tote– and your southern accent!
Love the new gear! Do the bananas come with the tote? Just kidding! Have a great Monday!
Yummy! And love the new gear.
Would love to win the tote for my mom who is a daily reader!
I would love to have that tote!
I <3 KERF
I think I like that bowl! Might have to purchase one.
I bet your pants were only tight form the sandwiches you ate last night…doesn’t luch meat have a lot of sodium? Or maybe they’re tight because you dried them in the dryer…? Thats always my excuse!!
Hi Kath!
I hear ya on the pants thing. I’ve got that going on right now, too.
Love the tote and the shirt!
oooo I want the tote:)
I love the surface area of the oatmeal bowl – looks like the perfect size for breakfast yummies! I am currently loving my KERF coffee mug – I like that’s it’s big and holds my 2 cups of morning coffee in 1…I don’t feel as guilty when I only have to make one trip to the coffee pot.
Yuck! I hate tight pants but usually it just takes a few days of being back on track to feel better in pants!!
Cool Tote!
Love your blog and the tote.
I am new to your blog and I absolutely love it! The KERF stuff is great – I would love to tote it!
Love you blog and the gear!
As a teacher I would LOVE a new tote bag!
Keep up the great blog!
Love your blog…love the tote! I could use it to carry all of my library books (and promote your site!). Pick me!!!
oooh i would love one of those sweet totes!
if i don’t win, i guess i’ll just have to buy one…and a shirt.. so cute
Love Love Love that bowl, I happen to love bowls shaped like that. And my pants were tight today too, I think I have been a bit lax lately. Although Mondays are always a good time to turn it around!
ahh yay for kerf gear! =)
Hi Kath! I read your blog religiously and love it! ust wanted to finally come out of lurking and tell ya!
yay! pick me!! I’d love the tote, and I promise I’d give it a good home.
haha
BTW, I’m new around here, and I can’t wait to read more! =)
Haha, apparently I am just way too good at justification… if my pants were too tight, but then I breezed through 40 minutes on the stairs, I would be thinking GEEZ my MUSCLES are HUGE!!!
what can I say, I try and look on the bright side! Have a lovely day everyone! (Kath your accent makes me miss home (charleston) sooo much)
Love the tote
Would love to win your tote!
Too bad the pumpkin butter isn’t like spreadable pumpkin pie- I think I would be a little disappointed if it tasted pruney as well.
As for the tote, well, who couldn’t use another tote bag for shopping?!
What a great bag! I would love to win!
Cute tote!
nice bag! and i feel what you mean about the tight pants!
Maybe today’s my lucky day.
love the tote, love the oats, have a good monday!
Super cute KERF gear! I’d love to take that tote to the farmers’ market.
I love, love, love tote bags.
My pants are tighter, too ;-(
YAY CONTESTS! Super cute!!
Oh, KERF tote! How cool!
I hear eating oatmeal out of KERF bowls combats the dredded tight pant syndrome. Keep it up and you’ll need suspenders in no time.
I heart KERF
Cute bag!
I want a tote bag! Do some squats in your pants and get them to loosen up!
kath, if your feeling good then theres no need to worry
pick me pick me pick me!
The bowl is too cute! I hope you are not worrying too much about the pants. You’re amazingly healthy.
And, I have a quick question for you and the readers: How do you get rid of perms?!?!?!?! Today I got what was supposed to be a loose perm and be trendy/modern, and it’s totally an awful 80′s due! I’ve shampooed my hair 4 times and it still is there! help please!
As a follow “K”, I love, love, love the mug!
Super cute video! Love all the KERF stuff – but I really have to comment on HOW CUTE YOUR EARRINGS ARE! Love’em!
Great find – I’ve already been and gotten a case – thanks to you!
I’d love a tote – more people need to know about real food!
Love the tote!
And I love that you put the bumper sticker on your car!
That bowl is too cute and your right it does look perfect for oatmeal and all your toppings!
That tee looks darling on you…perfect shape!
The great thing about the tight pants is you KNOW you’ve been indulging a little more than usual so it makes sense. Once you are back on track, pants will become looser again.
Easy:)
I just love your blog! So many cute ideas and funny stories
Pick me!
You are too cute Kath! I love that shirt I may need one
LOve the video.
Love the bowl! Large surface area is KEY to even distribution of toppings.
Love the video! You are too cute! I hope I win a bag! teehee
Since it’s my birthday today, I thought I’d try my luck
) Happy Groundhog Day!
nice tote! maybe in the next month, Ill be able to spring for the shirt!
Love the tote and your blog. Sorry about the pants, but it happens to the best of us! You’ll be back in no time.
It’s so cool that you have your own “stuff” now! KERF products=cool!
Love the tote bag and you are SO cute in your videos!
Love,
Lis
If someone attacks you-they suck.
sorry about the pants, chug some h2o!! i luv totes!!
I’d love a KERF tote!
I’m pretty new here. Just wanted to tell you that I tried your oatmeal recipe the other day, and it was the first time ever that I finished a bowl of oatmeal…and I wanted more. Thanks!!
I’d love to have a tote so I can carry all my healthy food to work!
Thanks for all of your comments guys! Wish I could respond to all of them, but 200+ is a LOT! I think some of the comments didn’t come through too
Happy Birthday Anne L
Heather, glad you like your KERF mug!!
Nicole – thanks for your first comment, and hi to Josh and your cute daughter!

GO KERF!!
I would love the tote!! Kath, you look too cute in the video! enjoy your day
Well, it is a dog bowl (See the category on the web site where they sell it). Whatever, it looks quite nice to me
)
we all have days where things are a little tight, i blame it on superbowl sunday
I love the kerf stuff!
LOVE the KERF gear!
That tote bag is quite nice!
I’ve tried and tried the stairmaster, and I don’t think I can quite “master” it. I’ve already fallen and bruised my knee once before. I’ll just stick with regular stairs; that machine just does not like me!
Me too!
I hope I win the tote!! Your blog is awesome it made me change the way I eat and excercise!!
Thanks Kath and The Husband..
Cute video!
Maybe your legs have gained muscle with all the bike riding and stuff, hence the pants may not be too tight but just fit differently.
I just had a baby six months ago so I completely understand the trying on of pants and they being too tight feeling! Ha!
Well, there’s those several multi-course dinners out, pizza, wine on numerous occasions, somethings got to give. Although riding a bike to the gym in freezing weather should be worth a LOT……
LOVE the bowl!!
It would be cool to win!!
yay a giveaway! luckily pants stretch =P
Love your blog…read it every day. I even have links in my blog and rave about your oatmeal. So… pick me!!!!
I can’t wait to try your mushroom dish … I too am a fan of mushrooms and kale!!
By the way … I meant to comment during your last contest how much I like your idea for a restaurant! You may have to be doing the plans for a course, but you never know what might happen down the road …
love the blog…love the accent…love the KERF bag!
The tote is sooo cute!
Oh please pick me! I really want KERF loot!
I have some pants that are now tighter…but its all in the thigh/butt area so I blame it on picking up running! You look great in the video though!
If I win this tote, which is absolutely adorable, I will be sporting it all over the place.
Oh I know what you mean about the pants thing. I think it’s a great way to gauge and remember about portion sizes.
The bowl looks good for oat making in the microwave where spillage can be a big issue!
January has been brutal for tight pants in my opinion. Too many snacks for me.
love the bowl!!
I <3 KERF!!
I’m pretty sure I need a KERF tote.
that tote is too adorable!
I’d love to win! No worries on the pants – happened to me too =/ I’m just gonna be a little more aware of what I’m putting in my mouth
I love the bag!
Love the tote and shirt. Very cute!
Hope I win the tote so I can be all “KERFy” too!!! Right now I’m just a bit too curvy, much rather be KERFy!
I would LOVE that tote!!!!!
Kath! Thank goodness I’m not the only one feeling like January has been a bit overboard!! I’ve had more trouble with this month than I had during the entire Christmas season?!?
Thanks for the contest, I love the KERF stuff
Hang in there, you’ll get back to non-tight pants soon enough, hopefully we all will!
Hi Kath,
I love all your gear and would love to proudly sport the tote in Maine for you!
i really like the tote and yer video! =)
Yay for contests! But boo because I never win!
Love the bag. Want the bag. Love you, too!
SOOOOO cool!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love the idea and the products!
Love the bag Kath! Can’t wait to send you a picture of me with my KERF shirt
By the way- the banana’s in the bag are hilarious.
Such a cute tote!!
I have to let you know, I made your oatmeal bars the other day and they are so yummy! I can’t wait to try some more of your recipes.
Love the tote! Also really like the big, deep oatmeal bowl! When I’m rushing for time I’ll use the microwave & am the queen of the “overflow”:)
Cute
kath, pfft about the pants. my pants have been getting more and more loose since xmas time, but the scale isn’t showing anything different. it’s all relative and you shouldn’t worry about it at all. you look great.
also, please enter me to win some swag. i looooove your blog and am constantly telling people about it. it would be even better to have a kerf bowl from which to eat my oats 6 mornings a week (the seventh is for yogurt pancakes!).
PS-have you noticed the little tiny smiley face at the bottom of your pages (under “powered by wordpress”)?? maybe it’s been there forever, but i just noticed it.
i didn’t read very well, did i? the tote would be even better than the bowl, though–the tote i could use at the store and spread your message even further and wider.
okay. i will stop spamming you now.
I’ve been searching high and low for pumpkin butter here in WV. No luck! I might have to break down and order some. Anyway, cute tote! Would love to be sportin it!
hi Kath! Nice KERF paraphernalia! I would love to win the tote. Pick me! Pick me!
Love the bag! Have a good day!
Pick me! Pick me! I never win anything and I’m your biggest fan!
pick me!! i love the kerf items!
Great bag!! i can flaunt it ONLY if i win!!
I will carry all of my workout gear in your delightful bag. Thank you so much for letting us take a peek into your daily eating adventures!
Breakfast oats today look delightful! You inspired me to try oatmeal in a much better way than I had in the past (instant-bleh!). Now I love it and make it most days of the week. I even had it for a quick “warmy” dinner last night while my husband was at a Super Bowl party.
Keep up the great work!
don’t worry about the pants haha…we all have those mornings sometimes!! luckily with all the healthy exercise and good food habits we’ve adapted (and your blog is an INCREIDIBLE example of) – tight pants syndrome never lasts for long
I look forward to your blog everyday!
)
I’ve been dealing with tight pants lately too… so I’m trying to lose a few pounds before things get out of hand! Anyway, love the tote bag.
Love the KERF gear, and I would be thrilled to win the tote bag!
I love your blog for meal inspiration and workout motivation!
I love real food and KERF ROCKS!!!
I would love love love the tote bag!!! Thanks!
Love that tote! Too cute!
yea for KERF gear!
… I appreciated that your pants comment was stated as a fact; simply an observation, without judgment.
Kath, it’s actually comforting, I’m sure, to a lot of us to hear that you, too, have days where your clothes are a little snug. But we all know that you’ll adjust and get back into your comfort zone in no time. That’s why we all love your blog!
Loving the tote!
Love the KERF tote! I need it for my weekly trip to the farmers market
I love a reusable bag!
Bananas are my favorite fruit to!
Love your blog
A couple days “on track”, and you’ll feel great, again, K.
Yay KERF tote! I always need more grocery store bags!
I adore everything about your blog! I read it religiously. [:
Maybe you should buy bigger pants?
Woohoo! I love contests! I’d love my very own KERF tote.
Delurking for the contest and to second the thoughts about tight pants: usually due to either laundry shrinkage or PMS!
You can never have too many tote bags and yours is fabulous!
Don’t worry about the pants. It’s amazing how much our bodies change from day to day.
Pick me, oh random one.
a new tote? yes, please:)
I’d LOVE to have that cute tote
Love your blog!
Cute gear. Don’t worry about the pants, you work out constantly and eat healthy 90% of the time (probably more like 95% of the time!) so you shouldn’t be overly concerned.
hopefully its my lucky day!
