Yessssss! I finally slept through the night!! No crickets, no barking dogs, no restlessness.
[What am I, 6 months old!?]
Couldn’t wait to come down for this!
The Mix:
- 1/3 cup oats, milk, soy milk, half banana, pinch salt
- ~1 tbsp raisins
- ~1/2 tbsp chia seeds
- Splash vanilla
- ~2 tbsp Nature’s Path Granola
- ~2 tbsp walnuts, which I toasted in the microwave for 1 minute on high and they were fab
- Spoonful TJ’s PB
+ Half Spring Blend decaf and Half Mara’s Peruvian Caf. OH HOW I MISSED SPRING BLEND!!!
We stayed up and watched Autumn Hearts last night. It was a beautiful film, but I thought the plot was just meh.
Hoping this digests soon because I am going to a 90-minute hot yoga class with Amanda this morning!
Adios!

I had the best sleep last night too – I am loving the cooler weather, it is perfect sleeping conditions up here in Boston!
that bowl is GORGEOUS!
i love great nights of sleep!!! have a good class!!!
Walnuts in the microwave? Sounds interesting, I love walnuts!
90 minute Yoga sounds like a great way to start your weekend!
Hooray for sleeping through the night! Hope you day goes just as smoothly and you enjoy yoga this morning.
Ooh that sounds like a great combination! I’m so impressed by how creative you can get with a bowl of oatmeal! Thanks for the idea!
lovely breakfast and lovely photo! like how u toast the nuts in the micro i did that a few times, so good, but then my mom was like”the micro kills the nutrients in the food!” ???i was like okay….:) so lucky u slept through the night i wake at 3 a.m every day
ahhh…great start to the weekend!
have a great day Kath!

Oh yum! All those walnuts look like such fun to eat!!
Have fun at yoga!!
I haven’t been sleeping the best either the past few nights because of a flying creature we had last weekend, which I am now haunted by
But I am so glad you got in a good night’s sleep! Your breakfast looks spectacular. Have fun at yoga!
your breakfast looks soo good!
love the bowl, it looks like it is from anthropologie!!

Hooray for Spring Blend!! It’s so great it should be called Year-Round Blend. Hot yoga=life changing!! Get ready to sweat out all the toxins in your bod
Mmmm. Toasty walnuts reminds me of winter…. But that is one of the only good things I can think about winter, so…
Hehehe -yeah sleeping through the night is a WONDERFUL gift! I cherish when that happens…kids get in the way of that a LOT!
You’ve inspired me to make some oats this a.m. !
i JUST bought walnuts to put in my greek yogurt this morning.. and you can bet I’m going to toast them now haha thanks for idea Kath!
Haha, glad you slept well. I did not with all the frat rushing around my dorm, but sleeping through the night is usually no problem for me so I guess I can’t complain.
What nature’s path granola do you use? I’m supposed to be getting a bunch of products to sample including some unreleased ones and I can’t wait to see how they are,
enjoy bikram! i hope my breakfast digests for my 12 pm class too!
Glad you finally slept well! there was a period of time a few years back I had to use earplugs because EVERY noise woke me up
I am jealous, I did not sleep at all last night, cramps
. . . I’m trying to force myself out for a run, I know exercise is good for them
haha when i got a few days with trouble sleeping my fiance starts laughing and going “you know, Ashlynn (my niece) can sleep through the night. And she can’t even talk yet”
and yeah, then when i do sleep through the night i get excited too
Jealous of your yoga! I finally found a class, but its Saturday mornings at 7:00 am!
Sleeping through the night is definitely something worth celebrating! My sleep cycles are all messed up lately so I’m pretty envious
Have a great day, Kath!!
Walnuts remind me of fall, too. That bowl looks so comforting and yummy.
I love a full night’s sleep. My problem is waking up prematurely; my body thinks its done after 6 hours. I try to tell it that’s not true, but it does the same thing almost every night.
Maybe 6 hours is my sweet spot lol.

Yum! Walnuts on oats, must do it
Hi Kath.. your breakfast looks so so yummy! I always read your blog but never comment, so I decided why not today! Your food always looks amazing and oh soo healthy. I get some great ideas from you! I read you grew up in Hillsborough.. I actually am a teacher at a small charter school there.. live in Carrboro but love working in such a cute little town.
Ps.. I have finally started my own little blog.. its certainly a work in progress but with some time I hope I can inspire some peeps just like you!
Happy Saturday!
Have you ever tried using a sleep machine? I can’t sleep without mine! It makes white noise and drowns out the sounds. I actually just found an iPhone app called ’sleep machine’ last night. Try it out, better than the uncomfortable ear plugs!!
There is nothing worse than not being able to sleep through the night, so yay for a great night’s sleep!
wow the walnuts piled on top just make this look heavenly
Breakfast looks fun to eat. Hope you had fun at yoga!!!
Gorgeous breakfast!!
Enjoy yoga!
That looks like an amazing breakfast!
Hi Kath,
Not sure if you currently read this blog… but he had on a blueberry maple oatmeal smoothie last night that looked so good. I saw it and thought of you.

Hot yoga is sooooo relaxing. I actually posted about my first experience with it on my blog thanks to you and Jenna’s and Heather’s posts about how great it is. Enjoy!
You know your savory cottage cheese bowl that everyone got so excited about? (mind you, you posted it like a month ago, but it stuck with me cause it looked so awesome). But anyway, I made it! And it was awesome!
Thank you, as ever, for your creative and delicious meal ideas!
Food Makes Fun Fuel,
This one is Hemp, but I really like the AgavePlus!
Abby,

Marie,

Lele,
Haha – so glad!
Kath
I have never tried toasting walnuts that way…I gotta give it a shot when I need them quickly!
