I feel guilty writing this, but it’s an absolutely gorgeous morning here. The storm has left Virginia – and I hope those of you in the Northeast are safe!
Matt and I slept late and made yogurt bowls for breakfast
Plain yogurt, berries, apricot, Fannetastic Oat Puff ball crumbled, granola, sunflower butter
In lieu of hot tea, I drank the dew off of this leaf 
Hope you’re safe and sound this morning

It’s not quite sunny here yet but the storm has definitely left the building. Have a great day OFF!
Yogurt bowls are the perfect breakfast for a post-Irene celebration. Glad you stayed safe, Kath!
I live in Asheville currently and it’s nice there but it figures that this is the weekend I came home to central NH and now I’m stuck here until TUESDAY evening! It’s just raining and a little windy…nothing serious. Very surprised all the airports are closed.
I heard that it didn’t hit areas as hard as expected? Do you stir your bowls together after or just eat it all separate?!
I’m glad the storm passed for you- I hope everyone else is safe!
Lucky you about the weather- the rainstorms here have been nonstop since Friday :-/
It is beautiful Where I am too. Definitely Thankful!
I am a huge fan of yogurt bowls! SO delish!
Stay safe, even if it may be gone…!
Your breakfast looks delicious! I have to start making pretty yogurt bowls for breakfast!!
I felt the same way yesterday. The weather was amazing, but I knew my family and friends in the northern east coast were getting slammed with horrible weather. I’m glad you guys started your day relaxed and with great weather. I hope you both have an incredible day Kath!
The yogurt bowl is gorgeous!
I have to agree, it is beautiful here in DC today. I’m about to go for a run as I LOVE the weather after a hurricane. It’s just fun feeling the breeze and seeing the fluffy clouds.
We’re getting it up here in MA but it hasn’t been too too bad. It’s raining a lot and windy at times but *knock on wood* we still have our power. I hoping the tail end of it is making its way out.
We had a very uneventful night here in PA and I’m very grateful for that. It got a little scary last night with all the constant tornado warnings but other than that things are normal. Those are huge dew drops on that leaf. What a great photo! Enjoy your day off.
I live right outside of Manhattan and we are currently only experiencing light rain.. thank goodness!
thanks for the kind wishes – hope you enjoy the morning!
Love that first picture. How pretty! Glad to hear Irene passed you without too much fanfare!
Hi Kath! I have been an avid blog reader of yours for awhile now and have a question. I’ve recently been really addicted to these cups of oatmeal called “Umpqua Oats” that come in all sorts of flavors and they’re super easy- you just put some boiling water in and voila, you have a cup of delicious oatmeal. However, they seem to have alot of added sugar (evaporated cane juice)- about 20 grams. I’m starting to feel really guilty eating them but they’re SO good. I’m also super active so I’m wondering if it really matters? What are your thoughts on this?
My opinion is 50/50. I’d normally say to use them as a treat, but if they’re you’re favorite then I’d just be sure not to add any additional sugar in the form of jam or maple syrup and call it a day
20 grams of sugar sounds like alot!!
I know it does! It’s sucanat sugar which is a little healthier at least. I try to stay really healthy too which is why I’m wondering if I should continue to eat them or not. They have chia seeds, flax seeds and dried fruit, so the premise behind them is pretty healthy..
Jealous! The rain is non stop and currently pouring into my basement, ruining my home gym as I wait for my husband to return from Home Depot with a hose for a sump pump!
It’s a perfect late summer morning here too! Love the yogurt bowl… all that fruit looks so good! It’s been forever since I’ve had apricots and I definitely need to find them the next time I go shopping.
Your yogurt bowls always look amazing!
I’m in California so we’re not experiencing any strange weather but my heart goes out to everyone who is living on the east coast! Stay safe!! Your yogurt bowl looks delish. I’ve always been a fan of your blog, thanks so much for transforming by boring, preservative-laden cereal into exciting banana oatmeal mornings! Now my sister and mom have it everyday as well! <3
the storm left south jersey early this morning. once i fell asleep, i basically slept through all of it. waiting for the second round of “heavy rain” this afternoon, and trying to dry out our basement in the meantime.
it usually looks beautiful after a storm… i don’t know if it’s always absolutely gorgeous, but maybe compared to the destruction, and the storm being over, feeling thankful makes everything look better.
Happy to hear you and Matt and everyone are safe and sound.
What a lovely breakfast to celebrate the passing of the storm!
Near NYC and we survived the storm. Having a cozy day at home, parts of town are flooded. All is well. Enjoy the sunshine Kath!!
Yum your yoghurt bowl is so pretty! Such gorgeous colours
Glad you escaped the storm!
Plenty sunny here in Chicago! I’m glad you made it through the storm!
I am super jealous of your sunshine!!!
I know! I feel bad too
Because of the storm, we are having amazing Fall-like weather here! No humidity, sunny and breezy. But I do hope all is well up north.
Your breakfast is so colorful! I love meals that span the rainbow!*
The dew is gorgeous. aaand of course the breakfast is, too.
i feel guilty too about all my east coast peeps who suffered! i’m from jersey and hear there is some flooding…
ahhhh so glad you’re okay Kath!! I’m soooo soo praying for this whole nation actuallly! so much going on, but there’s always hope
Have a beautiful day~Oh! And really clever title!
yum that looks delicious, its a very stormy and windy day all the way in montreal!
Such beautiful & colorful pictures!
Still cloudy & windy here in NYC/NJ. Hoping we’ll have a beautiful day tomorrow. I kinda wish this hurricane had hit on a weekday…
Confession: I wasn’t sold on sunflower butter at first, but then as I approached the bottom of the jar I found myself scraping my spoon to get every last bit of it!
Rustic looking decor — and yet so elegant. Food in natural states looks so delicious!
We were lucky too! No rain here – but it is eerily calm and crisp! Feels like fall.
Don’t feel guilty! Enjoy it!! We had no power from 7am on – it was awful but luckily it’s back! My breakfast was very similar to yours – definitely a good meal to eat in a power outage
Dew will probably quench your thirst, but not enough

wow… those pics are pure art!
Those leaf photos are gorgeous, Kath!
So sad that our berries are no longer on sales here.
Your bowl o’ fruit looks delish. Glad to see you guys survived.
