SOUPER excited about this chilly lunch!!
With the runt of the High Five Fiber batch –
And a plain Siggi’s with a shot of Pumpkin Flax Plus by Nature’s Path that I got at the bulk bins at Healthy Home Market yesterday!
And the prize of summer: cherries. Which I always say in a Long Island accent: instead of "Chair-ries" I transform them to "Char-reys" 
For your entertainment: me playing with a play stovetop around age 1?
Have a ga-reat afternoon!!!

I just wanted to say I have been checking out your site and you do an amazing job. Your food always looks amazing and delicious and has inspired me to eat better. I majored in nutrition in college and have since taken a different career path but still love food and health. Keep it up
Thanks Whitney!
Ooh, I have a cherry craving now
I literally haven’t had a cherry in YEARS!
Have a good day!
Lovely lunch, as always
oooooooh changin’ it up!!! yummy…i love gazpacho and i ADORE cherries
Chilly lunches are perfect in the summer. Cute picture!
love the old pix! mine are somewhere at my parent’s house in nj?!
Oh I totally don’t get gazpacho. Cold soup, really?
I made some fruit gazpacho yesterday, it is SO good! I love cold soup.
I had the same little Fisher-Price stovetop! Seeing that pic brought back memories. I recall there being two little plastic salt + pepper shakers that came with. Adorable!
Souper means dinner in French … I was all confused hehehe
Haha, cute! I almost made a peach gazpacho yesterday, but I ended up making a jam instead.
Mmm, cherries! We have a big bowl downstairs and I can’t stop popping them into my mouth. Do you know anyone who can tie the cherry stem into a knot in my mouth? I actually succeeded yesterday, except it wasn’t a very tight knot…
I think I need to make gazpacho asap.
Wei-Wei
Mmm, gazpacho is so refreshing on a hot day! That picture of you is adorable- I love looking at baby pictures
Hope you’re having a great Monday!
omg! i had that same toy. Seeing it brought back good memories.
Remember the blue salt and pepper shakers that sat in the two circles on that little ‘shelf’?
wow, those cherries look absolutely delicious!!! xx
Hey, I’m from Long Island and I don’t say cherries with a funny accent…
Maybe it’s you, missy, who has the funny accent…:)
Ok, so I’m not from there anymore. Now I have a hybrid Long Island/Pennsylvania accent. Weird, fo sho.
haha, I have to say I’m in solidarity with Kath – being from Seattle and living on the East Coast for the last 9 years has shown me that many people from both LI and PA don’t pronounce the “ay” sound in “cherries” like I grew up hearing and instead say “char-ries” or “Sahr-rah” instead of “Sarah,” etc. I think you nailed it Kath!
Spot on!! Your spellings are much better than mine. “Char-ries”!!
I was going to say something about long island accents ( since that’s where I’m from), until I thought in my head “There’s an “ay” sound in cherries? ”
I guess we do say it differently lol.
Ha – way to own it Katie!
Loved your comment about the cherries yesterday – so true that I’ll drop $10 on a glass of wine but have a hard time shelling it out for fresh organic fruit. The fruit makes me feel a lot better than the wine the next day.
Those cherries look delicious — any chance they’re locally grown? Great point yesterday about the price of cherries in comparison to wine. It is interesting how some things seem so “expensive” until we stop, compare, and evaluate priorities. Good, healthy produce, grown in a way that keeps the earth healthy too, is worth the price
As the saying goes, “You can pay your farmer, or you can pay your doctor.”
Well, I feel pretty amazing too and I HAVE been eating grains and dairy!! I think it’s more about eating real food and being conscious of what you put in your mouth than cutting out specific food groups.
We haven’t had any cherries yet this season. They are so refreshing!
Gazpacho is one of my fav summer meals! Seeing your soup reminds me that I need to make another batch soon!
Gosh I wonder what happened to Kath’s salt and pepper shakers. Actually, now that I think about it, I’m not sure if we kept the stove. Could be in the attic. If I’m ever a grandma, then I’d sure be willing to search for it…
I am pretty much addicted to cherries right now. My addiction is short-living due to the growing season, but intense! Oh, so intense.
Haha, a foodie from the start!
That picture reminds me of my fisher price kitchen set that I had as a kid! I absolutely loved it. Pretty lunch!
My mouth has been doing a little song and dance ever since Rainier cherries have come into season. They’re my favorite.
Btw, your pancakes from this morning looked so yum! I’m glad I got my pancake fix before logging on today, or I’d be in the kitchen right now, whipping up a batch. x)
SOUPer delish lunch today!!
So cute! I used to love those toys too
Cherries are definitely one of my favorite summer-time fruits as well. Yummm
I’m not really a fan of cold soup, but I guess I really haven’t had the craving cause it’s still relatively cold here.
Now you have me sitting here with my Long Island accent saying “cherries” aloud.
I never realized it was one of those words where when I say it – it’s obvious where I come from!!!
I know “walk”, “dog” and “coffee” are culprits but now I’ll add “cherries” to the list. 
ahhh! this reading specialist says, “it’s an r controlled e. ch-er-ries. errrr. all together now class.” haha. i’ve been reading too much on phonemic awareness today. hmm. i wonder what reading specialists in other parts of the country do where strong accents prevail? ohh, discussion question for class tonight!
I’ve never gotten into cold soups and I have no idea why. I really must give it another try! Looks yum!
I think I have a photo of myself with a play kitchen. Haha.
Those cherries look so good.
That soup recipe looks amazing! I don’t normally like gazpacho but that one looks really good
I had the same stove top…hadn’t thought about it in years!
I LOVE Pumpkin flax plus!! I even put it on top of my oats in the morn! Fabulous! Also your breakfast looked devine. Yum!
your lunch is PERFECTION. yum yum yum!! enjoy this exciting time between wrapping school/internship up and moving/bakery. how very exciting
I am officially craving the last few cherries in my fridge! Mmmm!
You can say “cherries” with a posh Brit accent, too—-> CHEDDIES.
HAHA – so true!
Look at that..one year old and already a great cook
Great lunch and cute pic! I totally had that stove too! In fact, I think my mom still has it! She never throws anything away. Enjoy your afternoon!
I don’t think I’ve ever had fresh cherries. This needs to change! Tomorrow!
I totally love the baby pic! I used to have that exact same toy. Memories!!
LOVE fresh cherries, and love the picture with you and the oven
Ha! I had the same little oven… and I’m in Montreal! Remember there was a bell ringing when you turned up the “heat” to high? Thanks for the memories
Oh the gazpacho looks wonderful.

I love your blog! I used to check it out for new recipies and ideas, but I recently completely re-vamped my diet so I don’t really eat the same foods as you do.
Just curious what the blog world has to say about the Paleo lifestyle. Haven’t touched grains and sugar or dairy for two weeks now and feel amazing. Eat a ton of MEAT (organic, grass fed), veggies, fruit (yes, I love fruit!) and nuts and fat.
Feel stronger, leaner, ready to take on the day, NO hunger at all.
Love that lunch Kath! It looks so tasty!
And I just read all about your picnic! What a wonderful day you had !!!
I had that stove when I was little. Good memories!
How funny, I’ve never heard anyone pronounce cherries like that! Who cares, how you say it, they are tasty! =)
Aww, one year old and you were already a foodie!
Hurray for cherries! I’ve been eating them everyday since they’ve been in season! I’m glad you’re enjoying them as much as I am!
you were (are) SOO cute!!
hope you have a marvelous evening,
Bec
What about chim chiminey chim chiminey chim chim, che-reeeeee?
Lovely lunch! I wish it was warm here in Australia so I could make this comfortably…
What a perfect summer lunch, love the cherries. I might need to get me some.
I love that pumpkin flax granola! The friends I was camping with this weekend brought cherries… but sadly they were sour and nasty! It made me sad, hahah.
