Time is flying by – it’s Thursday! I wrote this to-do list last night and it has doubled in size since with an additional call and 2 other to-dos.
And we have this awesome new reclaimed wood chalkboard in our kitchen! A friend of a friend wanted to hire me to help her get started on a blog. I felt awkward taking money, so instead she gave me one of the chalkboards! They will be available soon at our local online gift shop, Red Bud Gifts! [Now available here!]
In the spirit of overnight oats, I made this strawberry banana dough boy smoothie last night! With the addition of a half cup of greek yogurt for + protein.
For a dough boy, put ingredients in your blender, stir, and put your blender in the fridge. In the morning, blend!
The texture is super thick – almost like a yogurt – and the flavor is doughy from the raw oats!
And Cville Cluster is absolutely amazing!
Served with tea!
Today it’s supposed to rain but be warm. So far I just see rain – no warmth present!

Love the chalkboard! That was a nice trade off. Can’t wait to check it out.
Enjoy the morning! It’s almost Friiiiiiday!
That chalk board will come in handy. I like the reclaimed wood idea.
As for the smoothie – another mouth watering, easy recipe. Good way to start the day.
Hope the rain holds off for you.
And… happy birthday to the birthday girl(s)
Cute chalkboard! Enjoy the day!!
cute chalkboard!! i still need to try your dough boy smoothie. i’ve seen you make it in the past and have always wanted to try it, but then i forget about it!
A good barter can be much more satisfying than cash payments. We’ve worked out a system with our downstairs neighbors: an evening of babysitting in exchange for some high quality garden goods — super convenient for us with them so close and yummy food for them!
What a neat chalkboard! I love the rustic wood frame.
Those oats sound fabulous. I bet that would be awesome with peanut flour too. Breakfast tomorrow!
Love the chalkboard! It has its own charm compared to regular pen & paper!
I’ve never tried a dough boy – it’s on my list for breakfasts to try this week!
Oh cool, I like the dough boy smoothie idea! I absolutely love having breakfast prepared when I wake up in the morning, so I’ll have to give this a shot!
It’s a glum day in DC, too! Also have a smoothie in hand. Except mine is green
I love the chalkboard. It’s so cute!
Now that I have a blender I need to try this smoothie!
The chalkboard is super cute. I’m trying to get better with writing lists and checking things off…trying.
Have a great day and happy birthday to the birthday girls!
Super cute chalkboard! And we’re supposed to have the rain stop by mid-morning and then the sun come out. I’ll believe it when I see it!
What a lovely chalkboard!
That almost looks like a caviar spoon in your photo. I love how you coordinate your dining accessories. Being a girl is so fun!
Oh. My. Word. That smoothie sounds TOO good to be true. I’m definitely trying this as soon as I can get to the store for some strawberries. Wow. Thanks for sharing!
Mmm! I’ve been making dough boy smoothies as afternoon snacks recently. My favorite combo so far is carrot cake: dough boy base/bananas/few baby carrots/ cinnamon/ vanilla.
Side note: I love seeing the ‘RD ME’ pic when I scroll down the page. All the links down the side are just little snap shots into your life.
I’ve got oats soaking on the counter right now! I’m actually trying to grow some good bacteria in it and turn it into an “oat yogurt.” I tried it with oat bran but the texture was too chewy so I’m hoping the soaked oats make it more creamy like you described. Can’t wait!
Gorgeous spoon – and very yogurt-y. Looks refreshing!
It is raining today and very dreary!
When I woke up early this morning to make a sandwich for my husband to take to work, I was shivering so bad that I made it really quick, and jumped back in bed to get warm and go back to sleep. Ever since I became pregnant, I get cold so easily, and sometimes shiver uncontrollably.

I feel bad taking money from people for things that I can easily do as well!
Kath! It’s your birthday?!?
29.5!
Happy half birthday then! (: (: (:
Is it your birthday too?
Half birthday!
I make a “must do” and a “to do” list every morning!
I totally forgot about the dough boy smoothies! Must bring them back this summer!
That looks goood! Im going to try that one day. Hmm, your clusters look yummy too! Do you guys send orders out of state?
Not at the moment, but we’ve done several OpenSky sales
That reclaimed wood chalkboard is awesome. Can’t wait to see them for sale online…what a great find that would be!
love that chalkboard! as someone who lives for lists and crossing off completed tasks, i would love to have something like this is my kitchen!
This is a great recipe to add to my smoothie collection!!!
I made a dough boy ONE time last fall, and was all excited about it, but it wasn’t too great. BUT, that was before I had my Vitamix. Maybe if I try it out again in there, it will be better. The old Cuisinart blender I had just wasn’t cutting it.
Half birthday — My five year old thinks that’s hilarious!!!
Dough boy smoothies is the ONE thing (okay…one of many) of yours I’ve been dying to make and keep forgetting to do! This is officially on my list
I am going to have to try this breakfast, I am always looking for new ideas
Love the chalkboard, such a neat idea. Happy half birthday to you!!
I love the idea of the ‘Dough Boy’ smoothie–thanks for the inspiration! I’m going to try it tomorrow.
Never, have I, had a “dough boy” but I did try Dough Boy Bakery’s (Boone, NC) white wedding cake and it was lovely.
Your cloth remind me of Africa…homesick
Is it your birthday? If so, happy birthday! Enjoy your day!
Half
I haven’t made a dough boy smoothie in a long time! Maybe tomorrow morning
I’m studying to become a registered dietitian, and you are very inspirational!
Thank you!
Happy birthday caitlin and happy half birthday kath
ughhhh I loooooooooove chalkboard type stuff!!! I was so in love with it for my wedding ideas that I made some DIY chalkboards–of course, it wasn’t as smooth as the real stuff–but it makes such a cute deco!
And I wanna try all your granolas!
Cute chalkboard!!
I brought an overnight doughboy smoothie for my lunch today! Cottage cheese, frozen mango chunks, oatmeal, a little flax oil, and a touch of sweetener. YUM and filling!
Happy half birthday, Kath! Thanks for reminding us (I would have forgotten!). Hope you get to do something special today to celebrate your last half birthday of your 20′s!
breakfast soup
Cute chalkboard! Worth the trade
I’ve never met an adult who celebrates their half-birthday. I think it’s so cute. Go you!
By celebrate I usually just think happy thoughts about the number 26, but a cupcake would be nice…
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, KATH!
Half birthday, but thanks!!
I really need to make a dough boy smoothie soon!! Looks delicious.
Will you be selling Cville Cluster granola on open sky soon? I really need to try some!
Probably not soon, but we will be selling it online again
The dough boy sounds tasty. Never thought of that!
