I really love the morning (when I don’t have to race to be somewhere 
) and today was a beautiful one. After reading emails + blogs in bed on my iPhone (my new favorite way to wake up – who needs to the snooze button!), I came down to try to figure out what to have for breakfast. Nothing hit me. It was too cold for a smoothie. Oatmeal + pancakes were too much work. So I decided I was in the mood for a bowl of cereal and coffee!
To combat my sogginess/eating quickly dilemma from last week, I used half the amount of milk and it worked perfectly!
I used ~3/4 a cup of me&goji, 1/2 a cup blueberries, half a banana, 1/2 a cup milk (carefully poured straight to the bottom) and some Naturally Nutty White Chocolate Coconut Peanut Butter.
Plus a frothy mug of Andrea’s Charlottesville coffee.
Delish!
I spent Wed + Thurs frantically busying myself on the computer so today I could focus on getting ready for some surprise houseguests for tonight!! I realized yesterday that the grass really should be cut, so even though I have a running date with Stacey, I probably need to do that too.
3 more hours left to bid on the Summit Ticket!!
See ya 4 lunch

That is my all-time favorite cereal combo! Cereal, milk, banana, blueberries, and PB. Yummm. It’s great if you throw it in the microwave for a few seconds, too.

I heart that frothy Dean and Deluca mug!!
And I agree – leisurely mornings are the absolutely best!
White Chocolate-Coconut PB??? Dayyyymn that sounds good.
Happy Friday!
i love relaxing mornings too – it’s the best time of day!
yes white chocolate coconut PB – are you kidding me? that sounds ah-MAY-zing! i definitely need some of that.
yay for friday!
I love soggy cereal- I think I’m in the minority though- I let my cereal sit for a while before digging in!
What a Friday Treat!
I don’t like soggy cereal either, so I usually forgo the milk and eat it dry…I will have to try your technique!
HOW DO YOU GET IT SO FROTHY????
white choc coconut pb? oh man.
I think I know who your guests might be
yay for Friday!
Mmmm cold cereal and hot coffee…
main reason why I love weekends so much — the mornings! I love having TIME to unwind at my leisure instead of RUSH RUSH RUSH. Yummy start to the day! Have a great afternoon
I’ve seen you use it before, but I don’t think I’ve commented on it – I’m totally digging that Dean & Deluca mug! LOVE IT!
Lovely breakfast! And that peanut butter flavor sounds delicious! Have a great day
Mmm looks good. I think I’ll include blueberries into my breakfast somehow too. I woke up on my phone too, but not with the same pretenses as you. how is wordpress on the iphone, or is there an app? there is one for my blackberry storm and it is okay i guess, but i havent done much with it either.

Cereal is just so satisfying sometimes.
Are Tina & Mal your surprise houseguests?!
Cool bowl and mug! Your blueberries look so plump and delish
I’ve definitely been on a cereal kick lately. It’s the perfect summer breakfast when you’re not craving a smoothie. Loving your mix this morning!
Good luck getting everything prepared for your guests!
We ran out of blueberries and now I have to go get some because those look so good!
The breakfast looks SO good! Those are the best looking blueberries ever
Looks like a great bfast combo! I can’t believe how much “cooler” its been down here! I hope it stays really nice for your guests
Hey Kath!
I love the idea of cereal in the morning, but I just don’t have faith it will do the trick until 12pm! Does it keep you satisfied for a decent time?
Happy Friday
Mel
I am always stuck for breakfast ideas. This one is great!
Relaxing mornings are so nice! Glad you enjoyed yours
Good luck getting ready for your house guests!!
I actually kind of like mushy cereal! Especially when I microwave it and it gets nice and soggy! haha
Nice pictures !!! Relaxing mornings are so nice! with nice food
I LOVE my cereal soggy- I made a bowl earlier with berries/fruit on the bottom, added milk then poured cereal on top (playing around with photos, lol) and the cereal stayed crunchy…not how I like it, but worth a shot for all you guys who like crunch in the morning!
There’s a white chocolate coconut peanut butter? I have GOT to find that!
I am loving my slow and easy summer mornings. They will be crazy and fast mornings as soon as school starts back up though…
Yeah! I love relaxing mornings!
And houseguests sound like fun too!
i want to devour anything coconut. where’s the pb from?
Relaxing mornings are the best. My husband actually let me sleep in this morning. It was divine to get an extra hour of sleep and then eat breakfast.
BTW I love that you use mowing the lawn for exercise instead of a gas guzzling riding mower. If only I wasn’t allergic to cut grass I would totally do that too.
Love the cereal bowl!
How do you get your coffee frothy? Thanks!
A surprise house guest sounds like fun. Have a great weekend!
That breakfast combo looks awesome! Enjoy your day
are your guests coming from boston, perchance?
I think I know who your houseguests are too! : ) Make sure you stock up on carrots!
I am wondering how you get it so frothy too!!! looks delicious!
Yum, I love cereal in the mornings
i just saw that the bid ended for the haelthy summit ticket. $310?? thats amazingly awesome!
i just saw the the bid ended for the summit ticket. $310?? thats amazingly awesome!
i always live vicariously through your cereal breakfasts because i can’t have cereal! one bowl usually turns into 5 for me, i wonder why it never fills me up?
I love the idea of the white chocolate PB…must try it soon.
Would you guest sbe coming from Boston perhaps;)
have a relaxing Friday!
oh yum yum yum that coffee looks soooooooo good!!!
Hi Kath,
This is only one website and perhaps more research is needed. But I thought you might be interested in reading about fats and oils. http://www.westonaprice.org/knowyourfats/index.html
Looks like a fabulous breakfast!!
Kat
Coffee Froth is from the French press! Pouring the hot water on the grounds makes it lightly foam.
See lunch post for cereal hold-over tips! The secret is a hearty fiber cereal with some fat and volume from fruit.
Jessica ,
But if it did it would rock! I need to update my version or make some changes somehow.
My blog won’t work with the Wordpress app

Until I found the blogging community, I had never thought to put PB on cereal – but what a fab combo!
Speaking of yummy sweet foods, I am having a Holey Donuts giveaway on my blog until next Wednesday if you are interested Kath!
I love calm mornings too! Something about a good cup of coffee and relaxing is one of the best things in the world
Kath,
Glad the milk skimpage worked for you. I always find that a 1/2 cup of milk is pleanty and makes the cereal the perfect consistency. It also lasts so much longer before getting soggy.
Enjoy your weekend!
