Nick + Jen are very much into interesting ingredients, so I made them a Mesoamerican oatmeal feast for breakfast featuring Aztec chia seeds and Mayan Cacao nips + coconut butter 
Everyone got to add their own toppings – mine included cacao nibs, coconut, cacao bliss and Barney Butter. Mmmmm!!!
Jen said it was the best oatmeal she’d ever had, and Newman says he might just get up 10 minutes earlier to make some before work 
Half moon Peppermint Creme
I just sent them on their way to Asheville and am headed to the gym myself. Then STUDY time!! Same gameplan as Wednesday – meeting at EarthFare, exam at 3PM. I try not to go to EF more than once a week because it is expensive, but we decided to make this week an exception because of exams. Maybe I’ll get soup today!

GOOD LUCK ON YOUR TEST LADY!
That oatmeal looks so yummy, Kath!
Good luck on all these finals, once more!
Always a delicious bowl
How could anyone not like your oatmeal, Kath? It’s my staple.
Glad you all enjoyed your evening!
Bee Happy!
I got a reindeer mug as well because I was so inspired by your Vixen cup! haha
Breakfast looks YUM.
GOOD LUCK!
What a lovely (and creative!) bowl of oatmeal. Last night I made whipped banana oats for the first time – I liked them! Perfect for the frigid weather we are experiencing up north…
of course they loved your oatmeal!!
good luck on your test, love
These oats look sooooo goo! I could never get sick of eating oats- there’s just so many ways to change ‘em up if you get creative; plus they’re a very healthy breakfast pick.
Yummy oatmeal! I’m enjoying some right now!
I’ve always wanted to try chia seeds!
Good luck with exams!!
Hi Kath – good luck on your test! I’m not sure if you’ve mentioned it on your blog before, but was wondering how long you heat your milk for before putting it in your coffee. Thanks!!
30 seconds in the microwave!
I love that you’re creating new oatmeal lovers—one person at a time.
Exam week always deserves an extra treat or two…enjoy your time at EarthFare!
Good luck on your exams! The oatmeal looks delicious.
Kath you are changing the world one oatmeal bowl at a time . . . by the way I’m totally into oatmeal more now that the snow has started at my house
I try not to hit up the Whole Foods salad bar too often since I have a meal plan to use up but when finals hit….all bets are off! You’ll rock the exam, I know it!!! Do well (I feel weird saying good luck…..luck??)!
What a tasty looking bowl of oatmeal!
I need to get some interesting oatmeal toppings. I could’nt bring myself to eat the same old oatmeal this morning!
Good luck on your exam! You are almost there!
I like that spoon
Good luck with the exam
OMG that oatmeal looks like pure bliss, I am sure he would want to wake upearlier just to enjoy that bowl of oats every morning!
enjoy your day kath!
Good luck on your test! During exam time I definitely try to do some little things that make me happy and if that’s spending a little extra on a tasty lunch, go for it!
Aw. Asheville is so lovely. Esp this time of year.
Supa cute mug. You vixen, lol!
I always feel like extra treats exam week so I totally feel you on that one. The oatmeal sounds really interesting, I need to get a little more adventurous with my oatmeal. It sounds amazing!
I know you’ve posted it before, but I just wanted to take a second to tell you how much I LOVE that mug. It’s freakin’ adorable!
good luck on your exam!
I’d like to hang out with Nick and Jen. Tell Nick to throw all the oatmeal ingredients into a bowl the night before so it’s ready too cook in the morning….also, I know u’d probably die, but the microwave works just as well
Good luck on with studying!
And do you find EF to be more expensive than Fresh Market? I have both in my area and I’ve always found Fresh Market to be a little pricier.
I actually think FM is a little more expensive. More gourmet, less everyday ingredients.
Seeing your peppermint coffee everyday is really making me crave some. I’m still working on my pumpkin coffee, but I think I might have to go out and purchase the peppermint!
Good luck with studying!!
Soup sounds good. I’m having leftover chili for lunch!
You’re a great hostess
Good luck!!
Kath, you need a B&B that specializes in oats for breakfast.
Jenn
Good luck on your exam – and YUMMO that oatmeal looks GOOD!!!
Mush, all the way!! I would loveeeee being a houseguest in your house!
Yum, the oatmeal looks so good!
Good luck studying!
Kath, I just found your blog today and I absolutely love your bio. I am new to blogging, and enjoyed reading today’s post but was really qued in when you mentioned “rotation”. I am also an RD to be.
Currently in my senior year of undergrad.. and I’m always interested in others’ internship experiences so I look forward to following your blog. P.S. I love the idea of coconut in oatmeal. Mmm.. Happy Friday!
Welcome!!!
Oatmeal looks great. Good luck with studying!
Good luck chickadee!!!
Great mix for your oats!!! Good luck with the studying today. I think EarthFare is the perfect reward for all of your hard work.
I just bought some Barney Butter the other day for the first time and I’m so impressed. It’s the best almond butter ever! Good luck on your test!
you have by far the best oats creations! just to let ya know!
jenna
What a pretty spoon! And good luck with finals!!!
Where did you get that Vixen reindeer cup? Very cute. And your oatmeal looks delicious. thanks to you, I already ordered the peppermint coffee from Fresh Market or whatever it’s called. It should arrive in a few days. Yum.
It’s from Pottery Barn. An Xmas gift!
I must get some of that Peppermint Creme while I’m home in Cleveland. No TFM’s in Colorado…Have a great weekend!!
This is completely unrelated to your blog…but you’ve inspired me to create my own! What blog site (free) do you recommend starting with which is most user-friendly and has lots of fun editing tools?? Thanks!
Wordpress.com is the best free one. You wont’ be able to change that much without hosting the blog yourself, which is more complicated but worth it in the long run.
Kath
Thank you!
