Happy Mid-Morning!
I’m really excited to share with you guys a video project I’ve been working on with Quaker and Goodbite to raise up to $25,000 for Share Our Strength, a charity dedicated to ending childhood hunger. This project was perfect for me since I love all kinds of creative oatmeal toppings!
Watch below!
I encourage all of you to create your own oatmeal topping combinations by going to WWW.QUAKEROATS.COM/CREATEYOURDAY and assembling an oatmeal creation that will best help you tackle the day that lies ahead 
For every bowl of oatmeal created on this site, GoodBite.com and Quaker will donate $1 to Share Our Strength, up to $25,000. This goal is no small feat, but if you all create one oatmeal bowl, that much more money will go to feeding hungry children.
Remember there’s strength in numbers!!

This is such a good idea! I sent one to my mom

And for such a great cause!
What a good site and a great idea…
I cant wait to try the site! What a great video and great cause!

This is such a great idea and a great cause! That said…your oatmeal creations look much tastier.

Awesome – what a creative concept / campaign! Looks like I need the Honor Roll Oatmeal today…
I saw this on Tina’s site, too. What a great promotion!
I actually stumbled upon Quaker’s oatmeal topping ideas page a few weeks ago, and I already made one! I’m so glad you’re on board and helping with the Share Our Strength cause! Good job, Kath!!
i had coffee beans! yum!
btw, the images made me think of the movie The Imaginarium of Dr Parnassus. cool!
this is so cool! i’m going to be making mine in T-minus 5 minutes
oOOH I did an oatmeal topping thing earlier on that site, it’s rather addictive :p but has actually given me some ideas!Raisins and walnuts are next on my topping list
this sounds like the perfect project for you
such a cool idea!
Such a great concept! I’ll definitely be trying it out soon
That is awesome. Pretty cool way to use your famous love of oats for a good cause!!
What a great idea! Thank you for sharing this.
What a great project! I’m heading over there right now!
Very Cool Kath!
Aw yay! At my old office I actually organized 2 bake sales to benefit that very same organization! Great cause
This is so cool I can’t wait ot try it out… On annother not, I love how he’s showing YOU how to make instant oatmeal…. hahahahah I thought it was a little ironic.
Great idea, and great way to contribute! My pefect bowl was apples and cinnamon with peaches and granola…delish! I tried to do the facebook link to share with friends and it was not linking properly though…I’ll try logging in to facebook and locating quaker that way so i can tell others about it…
Hey Kath!
I just discovered your blog a few days ago and it’s just great!! I also love my daily oatmeal and had to laugh when reading and looking at your tribute to oatmeal… I’ve never been that inventive! Well, it’s time to start now!
I already have almond butter and use it loads but I think I might stock up on a few other nut butters for a few more great toppings and more variety!
Have you already tried to include coconut flour (helps digestion and gives it a lovely flavour) or wheat germ (add this at the end as you shouldn’t heat up what germ) ??
chocolaty hugs over to America from Germany and keep those great pictures coming!
Welcome!! I’ve tried wheat germ (a little dry, in my opinion) but I haven’t tried coconut flour!
What a great idea! Thanks.
Great video! I’ve seen the Quaker create your day on some other blogs too, I will definitely check it out
Awesome! Is this only for today?
I believe it is ongoing!
KATH this is so great!!! I went to the Share Our Strength annual Conference of Leaders back in November and was so inspired by all the volunteers/employees that work tirelessly every day to feed the hungry children of America.
Great cause. Great way to help (and delicious too). Great video
That’s awesome, Kath!
This is wonderful.
How fun! I’ll start thinking of creative toppings
Just started reading your blog and its great to see a philanthropic post on here! I work at a foundation in DC and have a friend who works for Share Our Strength (a DC based organization.) They are a great organization…I will definitely be participating
Share Our Strength is such a great organization! Thanks for passing on the info. so we can help.
So cool! Wonderful idea!!
What a great cause Kath! And this contest fits in perfectly with KERF!
Thanks for head’s up!
What a fantastic idea! The link didn’t work for me when I just clicked on it, but I’ll try again in a few
I just saw this posted on another blog (Recipe Girl) and immediately thought of you! What a fun way to raise money for a great cause. I’m going to see if I can make the combo I’ve been feeding my boyfriend all last week when he was sick: oats, splash soymilk, flax, cinnamon, and honey.
Love this! What a fun way to contribute to a great cause.
It actually has some really great oatmeal topping ideas! I love the idea of adding dried apricot..mmm!
What a perfect Kath Eats kind of fundraiser. A very good cause. Love it.
How perfect for you! and all of us! haha An awesome fundraising opportunity for a great charity…going to site…now….
I made my day!! Great and sound great in in the video!
I love it! I’m going to submit a recipe.
Breakfast never felt so good!
