Plant Invasion

June 24, 2009

Morning! I set my alarm and got up at 6:30 with the cicadas screeching and sun rising. Love it!

Came down to a lovely bowl of overnight oats

IMG_8223 (1024x768)

Stirred together last night:

  • 1/2 cup oats
  • 1/2 cup soy milk
  • 1/3 cup TJ’s Euro yogurt
  • Pinch kosher salt

Added this AM:

Our jasmine plant, which Matt grew from a seed, is finally reaching the top of the arbor!!

It’s invading the tea!

I’m working from home today (whoo hoo!). The plans for me to join Mary at the wellness center where she works feel through due to privacy (bummer!!), so I’ll probably be working from home most Wednesdays. Might add in some Mondays for trade offs.

Happy Birthday HANGRY HEATHER!!!!!!

and

Happy Birthday to Mary Ellen in Wilmington!! :mrgreen:

Summit Freebie!!

Now’s your chance to win an advance ticket to the Healthy Living Summit!

Thanks again to Stonyfield, FoodBuzz and ZestyCook for enabling us to put on this event!!!

Toodleloo!

Hi, Kath!

Your site has become a morning ritual for me…check e-mail, check facebook, check kerf.com, all while eating oats, of course!

But I have been wondering a few things…

1) This may sound silly, but when you make oats with cottage cheese, how exactly do you go about doing that? When do you add them in? I guess it would be redundant for cottage cheese to curdle when it hits the hot oats, but I’d really love to try it (I LOVE cottage cheese) and don’t know how!

2) About your “green” oats…I don’t have a hand mixer, so would a regular blender work okay?

Thanks!

Hey Kathy,

I’d love to come to the summit. All the green monster drinkers out there have to head over to the Fenway Park area to take home his/her very own piece of Boston pride, http://www.newburycomics.com/images/bmh/BU/103-1013793NEWBU.jpg
Please pick me!!

i would LOVE a chance to go to this summit ! i’ve been reading food blogs for probably two years now and think this is a great opportunity!

139 Julia June 24, 2009 at 10:22 am

I’m going to be stuck on a plane when registration opens tomorrow so I fear this may be my only chance to get a ticket. I’ve been reading all these wonderful food blogs for quite a while and can say that they have definitely helped me try new things and new combinations. And when I struggle with food issues (as I have been recently) they are an inspiration and remind what I “should” be doing. Hopefully with so many bloggers attending, even those that can’t get tickets will get some of the great information and discussions.

That jasmine plant is pretty awesome! The only thing in my garden that has ever grown like that was a weed… :( I swear it was trying to come after us (it used to reach across the top of the very steep front stairs and firmly grow around the hand rail; making it incredibly easy to trip over.) So, congrats on having a non-sinister awesome plant!

Kath,

I would absolutely love the opportunity to receive this free ticket to the blogger summit. I am dying to go and I will be able to come to Boston that weekend!!! As a nutritionist in Manhattan and avid reader of Kath Eats!! I would love the opportunity to meet you and the other bloggers…you have inspired so many men and women all over the world and I would be honored to meet all of you. Moreover, I love meeting others interested in healthy living and nutrition as it truly is one of my passions in life. I have worked with all of your sponsors for this event and I am delighted to see that they are going to be incorporated into the fun-filled weekend! I haven’t been up to Boston since I graduated from BU a few years ago and I would love this opportunity to come up there and meet you and all of the other bloggers. This event is going to be so incredibly inspirational and I would love the opportunity to be a part of this great experience.
Have a great day and I hope to see you in Bean Town!!!
Best,
Amie

Betsey ,
I stir the cottage cheese in at the end of cooking and let it set for a minute.

And a regular blender should work fine for green oats. Or a food processor.

Melanie ,
I found if I bulk up the cereal and yogurt with fats like nut butter, nuts and flax then I get a lot more out of it.
