A trip back in time: Saturday morning cartoons.
Except at this point in time, cartoon means Michael Scott and Conan!
And a grown up breakfast:
Smoothie in a bowl
For TWO smoothies:
- 1 banana
- 1.5 cups milk
- 1/4 cup Vega Choc-a-lot
- 1/2 cup raw oats
- 1/2 cup frozen berries
- 2 giant handfuls spinach
Toppings: Ancient Grains granola and coconut
Indeed, we have the same pajama pants! They are both men’s that I found on sale at a GAP outlet many years ago!
Today’s plans include yoga, lounging and an adult dinner party. [Like, real adults!]
AJ @ Flowing to Fifty says
February 5, 2011 at 9:55 amThat sounds just great. Don’t you love weekend mornings that are lounge-y and relaxed? It seems the weeks are so busy, it’s a good time to just hang and enjoy. Love the pants!!
Stacy @ Every Little Thing says
February 5, 2011 at 9:56 amLove the spoon slots on that mug! And the more I become an adult, the more I like adult dinner parties 🙂
Meg says
February 5, 2011 at 9:57 amI LOVE early morning cartoons! I remember watching Scooby Doo as I would get ready for grade school 😀
LOVING your slippies and pj’s 🙂
Lauren at KeepItSweet says
February 5, 2011 at 9:59 amSounds like a wonderful relaxing Saturday morning, enjoy!
Ann @ Day by Day says
February 5, 2011 at 10:02 amSuch a perfect way to start off a Saturday! Haha before I finished reading the post, I was thinking that everyone’s going to comment on the matching PJ pants! Cute! I buy men’s pajama pants sometimes just cause I think they’re more comfortable!
Nicole @ yuppie yogini says
February 5, 2011 at 10:02 amMatching PJs…very cute! 🙂
Allison @ Can't Wait for Breakfast says
February 5, 2011 at 10:03 amHaha! I just watched The Office while eating my oatmeal this morning! Enjoy your day!
Stacey (The Home-Cooked Vegan) says
February 5, 2011 at 10:03 amLol, I’ve always been attracted to the softness of mens pajama pants, but I didn’t want anyone to think I was weird (like my boyfriend)! I never buy them, but I always end up wearing his around the house, I’m glad someone else does this!
Have a great Saturday, Kath 😀
Camille says
February 5, 2011 at 10:05 amI love men’s PJ pants. I swear, guys clothes are so much comfier than womens’!

Eating Bird Food says
February 5, 2011 at 10:11 amI love that you two have the same PJ pants. Too cute!
Kate says
February 5, 2011 at 10:12 amAhh, we DVR the same stuff! I also will be catching up on some Conan this morning 🙂 You guys don’t just have the same PJ pants… you’re also wearing similar style slippers and socks. Too funny :p
Amanda (The Nutritionist Reviews) says

Anne @ Baking Me says
February 5, 2011 at 11:04 amMy husband and I also have matching pajama pants! We give each other pajamas for Christmas every year and a few years ago he waited until the last minute so all that was left at J.Crew (where he and I both got the pajamas) were men’s so we ended up with the same pants 🙂
Have a great weekend!
claire says
February 5, 2011 at 11:07 amSo cute! Matching P.J.’S 🙂
Katelyn @ Chef Katelyn says
February 5, 2011 at 11:09 amLove me some Conan! I absolutely love that your bowl has a spoon rest, that would make my life ten times easier since my spoon always falls in my bowl! Happy Saturday morning cartoon watching, Kath:)
Holly @ Couch Potato Athlete says
February 5, 2011 at 11:15 amI love the matching PJs but I really love your slippers! They look so warm and cozy.
Enjoy your day!
Liz @ Tip Top Shape says
February 5, 2011 at 11:24 amYour guy’s’ semi-matching slippers are pretty much the cutest thing ever. And Michael Scott (meaning Jim Halpart too!!!) and Conan?? Sounds like the perfect morning!
Meagan says
February 5, 2011 at 11:25 amI love the feet pictures 🙂 You both are adorable!!
Christine (The Raw Project) says
February 5, 2011 at 11:32 amCute post, the smoothie in a bowl looks wonderful and the pajama pants are adorable!
Gabriela @ Une Vie Saine says
February 5, 2011 at 11:33 amHaha I love the matching PJs. When I was a kid my brother and I would race to wake up first and pick the cartoons for the morning!
stacey-healthylife says
February 5, 2011 at 11:44 amThat’s funny your pajamas’s, socks, and slipper’s are alike or a least very similar.
Jess (Sweet Potato) says
February 5, 2011 at 11:44 amI loved Saturday morning cartoons! Except they certainly contributed to my chubby youth as I would sit and watch cartoons for 4-5 hours every saturday morning. Typically after eating pancakes like I did every morning until I was about 16…
Katie says
February 5, 2011 at 11:48 amLove the bowl! I want one! Is that the one you said they dont sell anymore though ; p
Have a great day Kath ! xo
Chelsea @ One Healthy Munchkin says
February 5, 2011 at 11:52 amI used to get up at 6 am on Saturdays to watch cartoons. It drove my parents crazy!
Krystina says
February 5, 2011 at 11:54 amYour matching pj’s are adorable.
sarah says
February 5, 2011 at 11:56 amKath,
Thanks to your Neat Home series, I organized my kitchen drawers and put all of those messy cereal boxes on top of my fridge in media boxes on top of my fridge. It looks so much neater. Thanks for the inspiration!
KathEats says
February 5, 2011 at 1:17 pm🙂
lynn @ the actor's diet says
February 5, 2011 at 11:56 ami miss saturday morning cartoons so much. if someone wised up they’d make a channel for all of us nostalgic adults.
MonsteRawr says
February 5, 2011 at 12:15 pmI tired to get my husband to wear matching pajamas, but he doesn’t look nearly as good in purple silk as I do…
Kathleen says
February 5, 2011 at 12:18 pmThat sounds SO lovely! 🙂 LOVE the pajama pants! 🙂
sarah says
February 5, 2011 at 12:21 pm@lynn- there is a cable channel called Boomerang that has a lot of old cartoons.
Kate (What Kate is Cooking) says
February 5, 2011 at 12:29 pmHaha, I love the matching pajamas!
Alaina says
February 5, 2011 at 12:33 pmI love Conan. But a part of me still likes watching Fairly Oddparents in the morning too. 🙂
[email protected] says
February 5, 2011 at 12:37 pmI have had that granola (from Costco right?). Wasn’t my favorite. After making homemade granola with coconut, coconut butter, and tons of nuts, I am pretty much ruined for any other granola/cereal. I keep my (homemade) granola in the fridge to keep it fresh and crunchy.
Emily @ Savory and Savage says
February 5, 2011 at 12:46 pmLazy Saturday mornings are the best! And men’s cotton pajamas are for some reason – so much softer than women’s – especially after a bunch of washings. 🙂
Lauren says
February 5, 2011 at 12:51 pmThe adult weekend continues. Enjoy!
Justeen @ Blissful Baking says
February 5, 2011 at 1:04 pmlove the matching pjs! you guys are adorable 🙂
Tracy @ Commit To Fit says
February 5, 2011 at 1:05 pmLounging is a fantastic word for today 🙂
Natalia - a side of simple says
February 5, 2011 at 1:07 pmSaturday morning cartoons, oh the memories! My siblings and I would always get up early because we had to complete a chore before we were allowed to go to my grandma’s and watch (we don’t have tv).
Michael Scott is a pretty good alternative, and might I add a perfect contribution to an “adult” weekend? 🙂
Caitlyn (A Spoonful of Life) says
February 5, 2011 at 1:12 pmLazy mornings are the best! And I think I have those very same slippers, but in green! They are incredibly warm and comfy!!
Jessica says
February 5, 2011 at 1:39 pmSteel cut oats in the rice cooker with brown sugar and banana this morning for me!
We’ve got some cinnamon rolls from our local GH for tomorrow 🙂
I love how each one is so local! Ours sells Michigan map oven mitts-works out nicely for the mitten state 😀
Jessica
Sarah (Running to Slow Things Down) says
February 5, 2011 at 2:05 pmSaturday mornings have so many memories for me. And I love eating breakfast in front of the tv in my pajamas. I don’t do it often enough. 😀
Have fun today! 😀
Allison @ Happy Tales says
February 5, 2011 at 2:06 pmMatching PJ pants… I am totally jealous. I think Ryan would kill me if I were to buy us matching pj pants. I think I now have a new mission. (muuahaha)
Annette says
February 5, 2011 at 2:08 pmI love smoothies in a bowl also! Why mix in the oats into the smoothie instead of scatter it on top? Just wondering!
KathEats says
February 5, 2011 at 2:14 pmBecause they make the smoothie doughier!
chelsey @ clean eating chelsey says
February 5, 2011 at 2:08 pmI love that you guys have matching pajamas. It kind of makes me love you even more.
Allie says
February 5, 2011 at 2:20 pmCute matching pj’s ;p haha! Breakfast looks delicious.. 🙂 Have a great Saturday!
[email protected] says
February 5, 2011 at 2:48 pmHehe are your slippers from Target?! I think I have the same one except I used to wear it as outside-shoes.
cameo says
February 5, 2011 at 3:06 pmI love yoga on Sundays! It’s the best.
Kara says
February 5, 2011 at 3:08 pmYour day sounds great. I’m 27 and I’ve still never been to (or hosted) a dinner party. Does that mean I’m not an adult yet? I hope so 🙂
Amanda (Eating Up) says
February 5, 2011 at 3:31 pmPerfect way to start a Saturday!
Amy at TheSceneFromMe says
February 5, 2011 at 3:56 pmGotta love days that you can lounge around in comfy slippers like yours! Snow day here and I’m cozy in the kitchen making homemade treats for our poker party tonight!

Maria says
February 5, 2011 at 6:00 pmI love the site, but I was puzzled with the post that featured Vega. I followed the link, and was suspicious when I saw that they did not list the ingredients, but made liberal use of the word natural, which as you know, means nothing in terms of nutrition. Cyanide is natural.
Below is a link to a review that seemed to make sense:
http://www.greendrinkreviews.com/wp/2010/01/10/review-vega-health-optimizer/
Here is part of the review: “Vega is designed differently than most green drinks. It provides a larger than usual amount of protein, which makes it a cross between a protein drink and a green drink. The protein comes from hemp and green pea mostly, but also contains some rice and flax. The last two would be fillers to most people, but they do provide some protein. These ingredients give the mixture a slightly gritty texture, but you can easily overcome that by mixing with a “thick” fruit juice or nectar…… Maca is one of the ingredients I consider to be “average” in terms of benefits-to-bulk ratio (see my list of best, average and worst ingredients here)…. At approximately $4.35 per serving, the formula is a bit on the high side in terms of cost-benefit. The cost per ounce is low at $2.14, but the suggested serving size is larger than normal at over 2 ounces (61g). Flavored and sweetened with Stevia, the taste is something you have to try for yourself.
My question: How can you say this is real food? It sounds like a protein drink just like any other, lots of fillers and inexpensive ingredients which do raise the fiber and protein, but are not quality ingredients.
KathEats says
February 5, 2011 at 6:07 pmI never claimed that Vega was 100% whole, real food. But it passes my ingredient list requirements. And it’s also not something I rely on for nutrition – I use it mostly for taste.
Maria says
February 6, 2011 at 11:23 amThanks for the reply. I hope other readers are not confused by the inclusion of this product on your site.
I would use 100% cocoa powder, less expensive and no fillers. Perhaps this would not give exactly the flavor you are looking for, but it seems heathier to me.
Full Disclosure: I have no financial interest in any products, but I have become concerned about how easy it is to misunderstand endorsements. This site seemed so genuine that I wanted clarification. Thank you for doing so.

February 5, 2011 at 6:02 pmMy mind is always in the gutter, and adult dinner party sounds dirty to me. Yes, I’m 12. *giggle*

February 5, 2011 at 6:30 pmI’ve never had a SIAB! It’s on my to-try list for ages 🙂 They always look yummy, though!
