Three years and counting!!
Every year I totally forget about my blogiversary!! I nearly missed it today. I officially started blogging on August 29, 2007 but I usually just put September 1 in the back of my mind.
I cannot believe three entire years of my life (and food!) are documented on the web. But believe it because it’s true! What started as a fun project has become my job, my life. And I thank each and every one of you for that.
Here was the plan for this morning:
- 6:26 Alarm clock
- 7:00 Light breakfast with coffee
- 7:45 Bike to yoga class
- 8-9 Yoga
- 9:30 second light breakfast
Here’s what really happened:
- 6:26 Alarm clock
- 6:45 Wake up after 3rd snooze
- 7 Re-injure glass-cut finger in bed when hitting it on headboard
- 7:10 Try to poke new blood blister with sanitized needle to relieve painful pressure. Give up.
- 7:15 Realize ravishing hunger
- 7:16 Realize yoga departure time is approaching fast and time has been wasted
- 7:17 Realize coffee sounds reallllly good
- 7:18 Realize there is not time for coffee, a filling bite to eat AND yoga
- 7:19 Cancel plans for yoga and start coffee pot
- 7:20 Get out ingredients for smoothie
- 7:21 Surrender to husband that we can have pancakes instead
Chocolate Hazelnut topped with Nutty’s Peanut Butter Cup
Walnut topped with Mashed Banana and Maple
Granola + Chia + Wheatberry Sprinkles
Have a great KERFDay!

Happy KerfDay! You must be so proud
Happy KERFday!!! This might sound weird, but I can’t believe it’s *only* been three years– it seems like I’ve been reading the blog for longer than that!

And I’m so jealous that you get to sit outside and eat breakfast! Oh, and I hope your finger gets better too!
Happy 3 year blogiversary!!! Since finding your blog, I have truly enjoyed reading your daily posts. They definitely brighten my day and give me such inspiration, ideas, and more pride for being involved in the field of nutrition with such hardworking people such as yourself.
Have a fantastic day, Kath!!
Happy KERFDAY! Will there be a cake with plenty of icing? And how will the Bears be celebrating? We haven’t seen much of them lately, now that I have sent them back to their mother and father.
Happy Anniversary, KERF! Thanks for being an inspiration every day. I truly look forward to reading every post.
It’s ok, sometimes you just need pancakes
Happy Blogaversary!
Your KERF-day is my birthday! August 29th!!
Hmmm.. August 29, 2007. Yes, I remember what I was doing! That was a Thursday, wasn’t it?

Happy Blogiversary! Pancakes look so yummy.
HAPPY KERFDAY! I love how it rhymes with BIRTHDAY!
:D:D I’ve been following you for a bit more than half a year, and I’m still a big big fan. Keep being awesome dear 
Happy Blogiversary!!! Looks like Matt got all crazy with the pancakes this morning. I guess sometimes it is just better to give in! Have a GREAT day!
Happy blogiversary!! Thanks for sharing your blog with us
Happy KERFday!! I’ve only been following for about a year, but you always have such wonderful foods made with such simple ingredients. Keep up the great work!!
Cute pancakes!
COngratulations Kath! I can’t believe how long I have been reading about your life and what you ate!
I’m all for physical exercise, but making that breakfast looks like SOOO much more fun! Congrats on your blogiversary!
Happy Blogiversary!
Wow, 3 years is an awesome accomplishment. Congrats! Your breakfast is making me HANGRY!
Happy KERFDay! The pancakes look amazing!
Your KERFday is my Birthday! What a lucky day! Happy KERFDAY!
Happy Birthday!
Yoga and injuring yourself seem to go hand in hand. Well at least you had pancakes and that will turn any morning around.
Happy KERF Day! It must feel wonderful to see how far you’ve progressed in your life and with the blog. I’ve been reading for almost a year, and look forward to reading about your adventures and foods. Thank you.
If that’s not a breakfast fit for a [blogger] Queen, I don’t know what is! Happy anniversary!
Happy Blogiversary! Three years is amazing. I love the pancakes. I got biscuit rings for my birthday and haven’t found a reason to use them yet. What a creative way to use them. I might have to try it even though I personally don’t like pancakes. I’ve been meaning to give them another try though. Thanks for the inspiration and I’ll let you know how it turns out.
My sister got me your 3-pack of Kodiak products for my birthday and I am SO impressed with the pancakes (and everything else too, but those especially!). They taste so fresh and homemade despite having come from a box and being mixed only with water. Still amazes me each time…
Have you made the brownies or cookies before on the blog? I can’t remember…
Glad you like ‘em! I made the cookies while we were at the beach in July – they were great! I also made the brownies, but I cant’ remember when!?
Happy KERFday!
Thanks for sharing your food with us for all this time! This is actually right about my first KERFday as a reader….though I can’t say for sure when I started regularly reading…but it was at the beginning of last school year.
Anywho! Cheers to more oatmeal filled years (and other foods too)!
happy, HAPPY KERFday! enjoy!
happy 3rd kerfday! looks like pancakes were a perfect way to celebrate, even if the morning didn’t go as planned.
Congrats on 3 years!
Happy Blogiversary!!!!!
You definitely celebrated properly with those pancakes!!! They look devine!
Love that little wine knick knack, it is sooooo true!!
Happy Anniversary!
Happy 3rd KERFday! I can’t remember how long I’ve been reading your blog but it’s been a LONG time. I first discovered your blog when I googled oatmeal.
Congrats on 3 years!
Haha don’t you hate it how things never seem to work out when you make a schedule for yourself?
Happy Anniversary!
I have mound many great recipes on your blog – thank you for everything!
Happy blogaversary!
Sometimes morning plans are made to be broken… especially when delicious, creative pancakes are in store
This put a much needed smile on my face this morning, so I thank you!
happy KERFday Kath! i love that it’s 3 years and counting…awesome

Happy 3 year bloggieversary! I can’t imagine my day without a dose of KERF.
Loved the Am story.
Happy Blogiversary!!!
Sorry yoga didn’t work out but those pancakes look fantastic!! And obviously they were since the plates were cleared. 
Yum!
Happy Kerfday! And some days you just have to give yourself a break. What better day to just stop a stressful morning than a blog birthday?
Happy three year anniversary, KERF!!
Happy blogiversary!

I think with a breakfast like that, I would throw away any plans that I made
Happy KERFday!!! Congrats on your 3rd blogiversary! Thank you for all of your yummy recipes, and your anecdotes always bring a little sunshine into my day.
Your morning timeline is just too funny – coffee has been the downfall of many a morning workout for me, too. Just can’t say no to that stuff!
Happy Anniversary and all I can say about your fab breakfast is OH MY GOSH. I want some. Enjoy!
HAhahahaaa I <3 YOU!!! Loved your morning. Congrats on the big THREE years!!! Woohoo! xo
Congrats
That’s an amazing accomplishment!
Happy blog-day! Congrats on three years!
Also, I love the little pancake halo. Very creative!
Happy KERFday!!
Your morning made me chuckle (except the getting hurt).That is typically how my morning goes, you know NOT AT ALL like I planned. I contemplated pancakes this morning but I was too hungry to wait. Smoothie it was. lol
Congratulations!!
And can I just say that that first shot of your kitchen, with the pantry door open showing the spices, is a great photo. Really beautiful. And that this house is the perfect setting for your blog photos!
Happy anniversary to KERF! Cute pancake idea with the cutout.
Happy KERF DAY!
Wow! Can’t believe you’ve been posting for 3 years. That’s pretty neat.
I think I’m in love with your bee mug. They’re so cute when they’re not trying to land on me
Congrats on your 3rd year and keep up the great work!
Your posts are always something to look forward to, Kath.
Happy KERFday!!! Hope its the best yet with many more to come!
Happy Belated KERF Anniversary!
I really enjoy your blog. But…I am sooo confused. Do you guys work????
wow congrats on 3 years! that breakfast looks awesome
Ugh, I hate blood blisters! Though really, who likes them?
I do aerial dance, and I’ve always been terrified of getting a blood blister from the rope. Ugh, I’ve seen others get some beauts though.
Congrats! Adorbs pancakes!
Laura
Happy blogivesary! I just launched my blog today too.
OMG those look so amazing. And now I’m starving…
congrats on 3 years kath! i feel like i’ve been reading your blog forever!
Happy Kerfday!!!
Those pancakes look awesome!
Happy KERFday Kath!! Well done on three years of blogging.
Happy Kerfday! What pretty, delicious-looking pancakes for a celebratory breakfast!
I love the quote “Good wine is a neccesity of life”, I have a picture in my kitchen that reads “Good wine is cheaper than therapy ” Happy KERFday!
Happy KERFday
those pancakes look DIVINE.
Happy KERFday to you! I love the glass jars for your nuts, IKEA right? I’ve been finding more and more reasons to purchase a slew of glass jars in various sizes.
Happy Blogiversary! Congrats on such a great achievement. And oh yes, you are so making me want pancakes right now
Yeah….sometimes pancakes happen instead of yoga. Last night, drinking beer with the husband and rocking out to music for three hours happened instead of yoga…
Happy birthday to your blog!
Happy happy birthday KERF!
Happy Blogiversary!
I don’t know why I think it’s so great that your 3rd blogging anniversary is on the same day as our 3rd wedding anniversary! I guess a lot of great things happened on that day back in 2007 <3
Can I get a facebook “like” button here?
Yay! Happy blog anniversary!
My mornings morf into that occasionally and sometimes you just gotta let it happen!
It was SO worth missing yoga wasn’t it? That was a funny recap of the best laid plans gone out the window.
Congratulations ! I’m sure it feels like such an accomplishment. Your breakfast tops it off because it looks wonderful.
I hate when things don’t go as planned but sometimes it works out for the better
YAY! Happy 3rd KERFday to you!
You’ve really done a lot throughout the years, and it must be so much fun to look back and reminisce. 
Totally lovin’ those pancakes!
Happy blogiversary!
Sounds like a good morning to me! Happy KERFday!
Happy happy Kerfday! Just looking at your pancake creations make me happy.
I love when the day doesn’t go quite as planned but still ends in a yummy bfast like pancakes. Happy Kerfday to you! : )
Wow! That is a long time. Happy blogiversary!
Happy KERFday Kath! You are an inspiration to me for sure
.
LOL! i loved your timeline….that’s always how it goes in our house..nothing ever goes to plan!!!
and a MASSIVE congratulations (not sure if thats the right word to use here!) on your 3 years! I hope you continue at least another 3 years!!! xx
Happy blogaversary!!
Poor Kath! Hate when my mornings don’t go as planned but, at least you got some delish looking pancakes out of it!
Happy KERF day. Ah yes…you deserve to skip yoga, have your coffee and make very artful pancakes. Enjoy it!
what a funky little breakfast! happy KERF day!!
Happy KERFday!
the very first time I read your blog (+1 year ago…) you said something about the KERF server… I didn’t yet know the acronym and was wondering what kind of server is that?? Never heard of a KERF server!
happy kerfday to youuuuuu!
hope you have a great day <3
Happy third KERFDay, Kath! Congratulations. You are a very talented and inspiring woman.
I am so glad I stumbled upon your blog this syummer.
PS: I just ordered some Kodiaks and can’t wait to try them. And, I am also 5’2″.
happy blogday!
Your blogday is my BIRTHDAY!!
Happy Birthday!! That’s 3 of you!
I’m sure with the growth and readership for your blog you’ve had to significantly increase the amount of time devoted to your “fans”, but what about posting? Has the time commitment for actually creating content lessened at all? I think it was your second anniversary post that said you spent 10-20 hours a week blogging. How does that compare to now? What do you now find easier? Harder?
It only gets more and more time consuming – because I WANT to put more time into it. And thankfully now I have more time to use. But as evident during my internship, blogging 3x a day can be done while working 40+ hours a week and more aspects of busy lives. It’s just a bit more stressful squeezing it in and there wasn’t extra time for improvements.
Happy KERF-a-versary! Can’t wait for the next three!!
Congratulations on three years of blogging! I always enjoy reading your blog and seeing your healthy relationship with food!
Happy blog anniversary, Kath! What beautiful way to eat pancakes!
Wow!! Congratulations!! I just realized that I have been reading for 3 years!! I love your blog!
I love your blog. Congrats. I am a newbie and can’t stop. How do you do it?? I wish I could find my passion like you’ve found yours!
Belated Congrats!
I think the peanut butter cup is the cutest idea ever! I love it. 
Yea for you and happy 3 year anniversary…keep up the Yummy bloggin’ Kath.
