I loved reading all of your responses to last night’s name-change question! I read them all 
My alarm went off at 5 this morning and I was in my car by 5:30. The whole routine proved it’s possible to exercise before work, but I do think, as much as I sometimes dread going in the evenings, that I enjoy it more when I’m not crunched for time. And I certainly enjoy mornings more when I can roll out of bed and enjoy a slow-cooked pot of oats!
Whilst at the gym I did 26 minutes of ellipticalling (wanted to stair climb but the machines were all taken) but I did get in 10 minutes of stairs at the end. Then a busted out 12 + 10 + 6 assisted pull-ups and 12 + 10 + 6 dips. And a set of lunges.
On my way home I realized the road I take is CLOSED for the Wachovia Championship! (It happens just a few blocks from my house!!) and had to take the loooooooong way home. I got a tour of South Charlotte! Not good on a day I was rushed either. I made up for it with a speedy 2 minute shower and 10 minute beauty routine.
Today I enjoyed a no-cook, no-clean overnight oats mix!
Last night I mixed:
- 1/2 cup plain greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup quick oats
- 1/2 cup vanilla hemp milk
- 1 tbsp chia seeds
- Pinch salt, splash cinnamon
This morning I added to the fresh-from-the-fridge chilled never-cooked bowl:
- Cantaloupe!!
- 1/2 a banana
- Some Bob’s Red Mill Natural Granola
- A blob of Naturally Nutty Vanilla Almond butter
Speaking of Naturally Nutty, I hear most of them are back in stock at OpenSky! I believe we’re still waiting on the CVSB, but the rest are back in.
Gypsy Coconut Chai tea! One of my favorites (and in my shop if you can’t find it near you).
I used my Davidson mug since we’re headed to an event tonight!
They come in a two-bowl set – in KERF teal and white. They are hand-made to order, so they’ll take about a week to make, bake and ship from scratch. $42 for both bowls.
And one last thing – there are only 26 available (because the artist’s hands can only make so many at a time!) so hopefully everyone who wants one will get one. If they fly out, we’ll get more 
Headed out!

Good morning:)
Cantaloupe in oats?! Brilliant!
Those overnight oats look deliciously refreshing! Love cantaloupe.
Have a great day!!

Yum! Oats look yummy!
Gonna try and grab myself some Buddha Bowls right now. Love them!
LOVE that square bowl!! I have a square one at home, but it is just plain old white…I love the pattern
You have so many amazing dishes…do you just get them from little thrift shops and just randomly , or do you have sets of everything?
Have a good day
I fixed overnight oats last night, too! I love how much faster they make my mornings – all I need to do is top them and eat.
I prefer getting my workouts done in the morning – it’s so peaceful outside and at the gym!
I am a morning work out kinda gal. It just starts my day off with a bang! I love cantaloupe! I would say that is a perfect addition to overnight oats! YUM!
I read your post last night and did not weigh in on the subject until I thought about it. I find it very interesting how things are evolving for our generation. The fact that you kept your name is completely acceptable and since you and Matt agree on it made it that much better. I find that our generation is changing a lot in the way they think about many things. Shared finances, religion, names…it is very interesting to see all of this. I did take my husbands name. I was 20 when I got married and it was kind of a difficult time for me and my family (we have gotten past that now). I felt like my husband and I were starting our own family and that is why I took his name. I did not want to lose my last name all together, so it is now my middle name. Anyway, that was very thought provoking and I appreciate you sharing that little bit. I find our generation very interesting in it new ways! Have a great day Kath.
Ohhhhh I haven’t had cantaloupe in so long and now I’m craving some!
Gosh…I would LOVE to have those bowls…but 42 bucks??? Think I will stick to the bowls at the dollarama
Nice bowl of oats Kath…must do this overnight thing real soon!
I love cantaloupe and I love oats…but for some reason, that combination freaks me out!!
Nothing worse than feeling rushed in the morning– hope you have a great day!
Hmmm cantaloupe… I miss it!
Have a good day Kath!
Those bowls are gorgeous–love the colors, too.
Going to buy those bowls now! Have a great day
Glad you survived “Matt” time…I just posted on missing getting up at 4:30 a.m. this morning because there are no gym classes at my place Tuesday mornings
Guess our bodies tell us very different things!
Question about overnight oats…I followed the recipe in your “recipe” section and it calls for equal parts oats, milk, and yogurt. And I made them for the FIRST time last night following that recipe. But, this morning (and probably other days) I see you only used half the amount of oats. Should I follow that instead? My oats are “cooked” but the serving is quite big. Thoughts?!
Use whatever portion you like! I used less oats today because I knew I wanted to add granola on top and lots of fruit. But without granola I’d use 1/3 or 1/2 a cup of oats in the base.
Overnight oats was a smart idea when you don’t have a lot of time in the morning! I love morning workouts when I can get to bed on time the night before and get enough sleep. I like being up early, but only if I get enough rest! It’s nice to have completed a workout by 8am
Those buddha bowls are supercute…. might try to get one
i don’t know if i could be more jealous that the championship is SOCLOSE to your house! i would stop my week to go watch that
glad you were able to get in a quick shower and everything…running late is no fun!
Beautiful bowl, gorgeous colors!
Have a great day:)

I love the additions to your overnight oats! I always just put almond and banana in mind. I also love the Wildcats mug! I live right by Davidson; it’s such a beautiful campus.
I never would have thought to add canteloupe but that sounds delicious!!!
Great job getting to the gym this morning! I do SO much better sticking to a workout routine if I just get it done early in the a.m.- but getting into that routine is hard.
Those bowls are too cute. Love the colors.
it’s so hard for me to workout in the am! I leave for work at 6:30, so i would have to sadly get up at like 4:15 to workout, and that is just not happening. Maybe this summer when I am off for summer! (I am a teacher)
Good on you for doing the morning workout. Five a.m. is earrrrrrrly!
I’ve been wanting to try that Coconut Chai Tea!
Good for you for getting up early! I am NOT a morning person so I have pretty much given up on getting up early in the morning. I really need to change that since when summer hits I need to run in the mornings.
gah! that gypsy tea is THE BEST! have you tried any other their other yummy flavors?
Great minds think alike….overnight oats for me this morning, too! Although mine were in a jar and eaten at my desk.
I doubt there will be any bowls left by the time I get home from work and can order them, but I dare to hope!
adorable mug bowls! it’s been a while since i’ve stopped in to kath eats, but i wanted to look again at your wedding photos. remembered them being wonderful and thought i might get some ideas for the wedding i’m planning for Autumn next year — mine!! woo! anywho, did you get married in a park? have the reception outside?? just curious.
cheers and thanks,
*heather*
We got married in a church, but our reception was at Duke Gardens in Durham, NC on the Duke Campus.
I love the addition of cantelope. I can’t wait for all the summer fruits and berries, and all the food options that brings.
I love the bowls! That’s awesome that they’re handmade.
Those bowls are super cute! I love the teal:)
I might just have to get some of those bowls…and the tea…ah! But, the overnight oats look delicious, I may just have to make some tonight for tomorrow to be topped with the mango that is almost ready to eat!
I only just started working out in the mornings and I agree, being rushed it a bit of a bummer but I do like having my evenings free, especially seeing as I go to school part time and work full time! It gives me the evening to study but also have the time to see my boyfriend, family and friends!
Your oats look awesome this morning and I LOVE the bowls!!!!!!!
B-B-Buddha Bowls! They’re so cute! Too bad I won’t be able to order them from here… (too expensive!
) I love how they’re handmade! They must be made to fit hands especially, huh? 
Hope you have a great day today!
Wei-Wei
I got so excited…and then I read the small print…no shipping to the UK
(
Amy x
Oh wow, I REALLY wanted a Buddha bowl, but I might be waiting until Christmas to ask for one.
I also found the subject of your last post very interesting and I read each response. I don’t usually read every comment on a blog, but they were all so interesting!
I love cantaloupe, never thought to have it with oatmeal.
I’m so excited about the buddha bowls, I just have to wait for my bank account to recover
I HEART your bowl from breakfast this morning
I just loooove those bowls, too cute!!!
And your oats sound fantastic! I really want to try the overnight oats in a cantaloupe bowl, yum!
Love, love the Buddha bowls! (and I totally typed ‘bowels’ first…woopsie..)
You have sooo many cute things in your shop! Do you ship to the UK?!
PS. I added spinach to my overnight oats blend for the very first time last night/this morning – AWESOME! I wish I hadn’t been dubious of your green concoctions for so long. Such a nice refreshing taste first thing, and I felt uber-healthy with my Shrek oats first thing! I was very smug when comparing with my boyf’s neon-orange Cornflakes!!! He he. x
Unfortunately no
Did you blend the spinach in ? I cooked it in once and blended it but didn’t think it was worth the trouble..
I blended a handful of spinach with some skim milk and vanilla extract, then mixed in some fat free plain yogurt. It was very frothy and green! Is this how you do it too? x
Oh so like a green smoothie. Sounds great!
WOw, I can’t believe those bowls are made to order! Impressive
the mix of cantaloupe and banana sounds interesting!!
Hey Kath
It may be vain but I would love to know how you get your shower and beauty routine done in TWELVE MINUTES! That’s amazing! Perhaps its because I have long thick hair, but just washing it takes two minutes. Perhaps a tutorial?
Not blow-drying my hair shaved off 3 minutes
The rest was all just rush, rush and putting on the first outfit I found.
Love the bowls so much!!
Since I am an artist I appreciate anything handmade sooo much! I swear it really does make my food taste better!!!
If we believe it it is true right 
I know this is psychological of course but it is true none the less
Hope you and everyone reading has a great day!!
oooh cantaloupe! can’t wait to pick up a melon. it sounds good with the overnight oats – i wouldn’t think about adding it to hot oats, but i guess some people have done that?!
Those bowls are super cute — I wish I had the budget for that kind of stuff right now! Love ‘em.
Cool! Those bowls are so neat.
Wow. I just read all the comments on your name post and it was so interesting! Blogs are great for creating interesting discussions.
I can’t believe I missed commenting on your last name change post. I just changed mine this morning. I was just going to add Jamison onto the end and keep all of my names but when I got there this morning I was told that you are only allotted a certain # of characters in your first, middle and last name fields and since I would have had two names within the middle name field I was over my character limits by two little letters
I ended up having to drop my maiden name completely and I’m so sad. I def. wanted to take Will’s name but I also wanted to keep my own.
Will was very adamant about me having his name. I think it makes him feel like we are more of a family or unit or something. But I totally understand wanting to keep your own name. It’s who you are!
I can’t believe they limited your characters!!
ok, so I am a complete sucker for anything unique and fun! I just ordered the Buddha bowls, Nuttzo PF, AND the Sagaform snack bowl with spoon… I am SO excited
I get up at 4:40am to get my run in before work. I wouldn’t have it any other way, I feel far too sloth-like the whole day if I don’t! I’m still trying to find a happy medium on the weekends though, if I don’t workout right away when I get up, I find that I need much more motivation to get it done… though I do love lazy mornings
Those overnight oats look great- I’m excited to try them when the weather gets a little warmer!
The bowls are fantastic! Would you consider selling them as singles with the next batch? $42 is a lot for bowls—even handmade to order and BEAUTIFUL! Those of us on a tight budget would appreciate it muchly
I pushed for one at a time, but sadly, the shipping cost would justify it
I’m having a hard time finding the nutritional information on Chia Seeds. Anyone know the stats for 1 tbsp?
I believe they are 35 kcal/tbsp.
Here’s the info:
http://www.nutritiondata.com/facts/nut-and-seed-products/3061/2
Did you choose 26 as the number to be made?
Seems very fitting! That cantaloupe looks so lovely and refreshing 
Yes
They wanted to go with 20-25 so I pushed for 26
