I never set my alarm last night!!
But lucky me, I woke up at 5:52, which is probably when I would have crawled out of bed anyways. Close one! Guess my mind if gearing up for vacation mode 
Felt like a SIAB this AM!
TF’s Sunflower Butter made an excellent drizzle!! My coconut milk is hard from the air conditioning and I didn’t feel like melting it. The Sunflower butter didn’t magic shell for me, but it was still nice and creamy 
The Vita-Mix
[Yes, I brought the Vita-mix with me during the move!!]
- 1/4 cup dry rolled oats
- 1 banana
- 3/4 cup vanilla soy milk
- 1 scoop Vega Vanilla Chai
- Handful ice
- Nature’s Path granola with some coconut mixed in
Cafe. You will have to excuse the repetition of bowls and mugs for the next few weeks!! I never thought to bring any with me for variety’s sake
I miss my iced tea spoons SO MUCH!! They give a leverage that a regular spoon just can’t do. Should have kept the Rosanna’s out at least.
In the shower this AM I was reminded that this is my next-to-last early morning shower [for now! who knows what will happen when we open the bakery!]
Yipee!!!

It must be so fun counting down the days til the big change!! When does the bakery officially open?
Have a good day
Hoping for November!?
Wow… so much exciting news! Best of luck. Just read about your lunch yesterday. I love how you refer to them as “The Hangry’s” so cute. Have a good day
It’s amazing how dishes can really add to the quality of our breakfasts. I have favorite dishes that I prefer to eat from, and I could swear that the meals are just more satisfying when I use them!
Oh, I just love Trader Joe’s sunflower butter – such a good flavor!
Gahhh I hate not setting my alarm, but you are right – my body usually wakes up at the right time anyway!
I’ve done that before with my alarm… it freaked me out!
Have a great day!!!! Almost vacation time!
Looks like a great start to your day!
Have a great one.
I’m going on a beach vacation next week, and I’m bringing my Vitamix with me. It’s like my baby
Have a great day!
Not waking up to the sounds of a buzzing alarm is the greatest. Unless you need it, that is! haha
I’ve done that before with my alarm clock. It’s funny how our bodies usually wake us up anyway!
That internal alarm comes in handy some times! Have a great day Kath!
Have a great day! Hope you’re enjoying the countdown!
I was wondering if opening the bakery will mean you start getting up at 3am with Matt… eep!!
Probably sometimes!
I’m so impressed by your internal alarm clock! I would definitely have slept through if I didn’t set an alarm!
Haha, I definitely would not have woken up on my own without the alarm – I have a terrible internal alarm clock!
haha
YAY for fewer and fewer early AM showers!
Mmm, this looks creamy and delicious! Do you mean coconut milk, or coconut butter? Have a great day Kath!
Coconut butter!
If I had a Vita, I would bring it everywhere with me. You know, places I would really need it. Like the gym, church, Target, etc.
Who needs coffee when I’ll bet you’re running on pure adrenaline! There seems to be so many fun, exciting things going on for you right now. Congrats!
If I have somewhere to go I can wake myself up on time, sometimes. I would never test it with something important, but I have done it a couple of times! It is good that your body clock is set and isn’t letting you down!
So excited for you almost being finished with school. I can tell you are looking forward to a less regimented schedule!
Interesting breakfast mix. Internal clocks can be quite the lifesavers. I think mine has helped me make it to the airport several times.
I am so glad to find someone else who is so particular about their spoons as me! I only have three spoons I like to use – they’re cheap, flimsy, but they’re my favorite. I will wash them if they are dirty and need one.
need to try the sunflower butter! are you vacationing at Bald Head Island again? I remember you have posted about that before. We are going to Oak Island the first of Aug. and I was wondering if Bald Head would be worth the day trip?
Definitely!! It’s very cool and island-like
Ahh — so close to being done!! I have a tendency to do that…it’s like my body is set for the alarm – even if the alarm isn’t. I find myself often waking up exactly a minute before my alarm is supposed to go off, too.
Love the counter tops!
That SIAB looks so filling!
Yay! You’re almost done Kath!!!!
I am new to reading your blog. How do you make the SIAB? Which ingredients do you blend together and which are toppings?
I blend the top ingredients and top with granola and nut butter.
Ha!! “next-to-last early morning shower” I think the exact same ways about things like that! Wow, I’m so excited for you!
I use little spoons too and when I was on vacation this weekend I had a hard time eating with a regular size spoon. It’s funny what we get used to.
I really need to try Sunflower Seed Butter! It seems like everyone in the blog world has but me!
why do you build me up (build me up) buttercup baby…
what an amazing breakfast! i love eating out of big mugs
That breakfast looks absolutely delicious and refreshing! Yum!
Oh my… that’s way too early for me! But those countertops are gorgeous. Hahah, we’re shopping for our own granite, so I always notice peoples’ countertops now!
I can see why you wouldn’t be able to go without your vita mix, they are so amazing.
That SIAB looks good.
Especially with the sunflower butter. Sadly, I’ve only tried the self ground peanut butter they sell at Whole Foods.
I love eating with small spoons
Helps with the intuitive eating! 
Hope you have a great day today, buttercup! (Who was always my favourite powerpuff girl, by the way…)
Wei-Wei
Those spoons are pretty. I love measuring spoons myself.
ha ha – of COURSE you brought the vitamix with you. i would’ve too!
It is strange to see the same plates and stuff but kind of nice since I don’t have a large collection and all my food posts are on the same plates.
Haha once I set my alarm but I didn’t change my watch to suit the time difference so I slept through my entire workout and most of the day! At least you woke yourself up
I’ve been meaning to try both SIAB and overnight oats since the warm temps have shown up! They both look really good!
Good luck on opening the bakery. It must seem like a pretty big life change!
You decided to take the Vitamix along! hehe. Good choice!
That is so awesome you and Matt are opening a bakery! Where and when?? So exciting!
My sisters and I wanted to open up a GF Bakery and Cafe. Not sure when that brainchild will actually be able to take form, but it sure is exciting to dream about it!
