Man I slept hard!! I had tons and tons of crazy dreams and I think I was out from 10:30p to 8:30a. Feeling totally recharged today!
Also was excited to be back in a kitchen making breakfast 🙂 Coffee and oats! Matt was in charge of the coffee, me the oats.

***
Me on the big screen! An interview with PepsiCo at BlogHer!
See ya later!
Jessica @ How Sweet says
Haha I think you should take a video of her with the bears!
Hannah says
Yay for the return of awesome, not mass-produced, oatmeal! I was just wondering, do you guys get Crunchola granola in the States? They’ve just come out with a berry and vanilla one here that I’m finding goes wonderfully with whipped oats 🙂
Kath says
I haven’t heard of that kind!
tanyasdaily says
She seems to be having fun ….when she gets the real grandkids…they will be lucky.
Freya @ Brit Chick Runs says
Ah it must be good to get back to proper home cooked oatmeal!
Sarena (The Non-Dairy Queen) says
It always feels good to be back in the kitchen after being out and about for a long time! Breakfast looks delicious! Have a great day Kath!
Marilou @ Mostly Healthy says
I’ve never seen someone that invested in bears 😉 Maybe it’s time for her to be a real grandma? 😀
Rachel (Two Healthy Plates) says
I love how many different flavors of nut butter you seem to get your hands on — I live in a pretty big city but I can’t find that kind of variety anywhere except the internet!
Kelly says
Nice job w/the interview!
And I agree, it is so nice to get back to your own kitchen and eat your own food!!
Anna @ Newlywed, Newly Veg says
Man, your mom loves those bears so much, she is going to go CRAZY for actual grandchildren, ha! (Not that the bears aren’t actual grandbears :-))
Nancy @ The Wife of a Dairyman says
The vanilla almond butter looks fabulous:) What a good night’s sleep you had…bet it felt good!
Trish @IamSucceeding says
You inspired me to put nut butters in my oatmeal! I am totally addicted now~
Stacey @ Tipping the (Kitchen!) Scales says
Yep, me too!!
Holly @ couchpotatoathlete says
Yes please post a video of your mom talking about the bears! I bet she is hilarious. Those photo shoots are too much.
Oatmeal looks beautiful as usual!
Liz says
I liked the interview! Your blog is my favorite of all the healthy living blogs I read. I love all of your recipes I have used! Thanks for the inspiration!
Daniel says
I agree with the commenters on a bear video, it would be hilarious! I mean, if she’s that good at writing stories I can only imagine how great a 3-little-bears KERF style video would be. 😉
Kristen says
Great job on the interview! Glad you had a great weekend at BlogHer. I really enjoyed reading all about it 🙂
Pam says
Great interview…shared on FB! Enjoy and Congrats!
Annie@stronghealthyfit says

Chelsey says

Wei-Wei
Meg says
You should tape a video of Grammy live 😉 hehe!
Enjoy your day, Kath! Happy you were able to enjoy a signature bowl of KERF oats this morning! Yay!
Heather (Heather's Dish) says
that’s so awesome you’re on the big screen! you rockstar you 🙂

Jenn
Marie says
Great interview! You’re so well spoken. Your mom with those bears is just too cute 🙂
Ashley says
You rocked that video!! 🙂 Loved it. I do love vacation but it is SO nice to get back to eating a normal breakfast at home. Uhh, I soooo used to love Lucky Charms, hehe. Is it really HLS week??? See you THURSDAY! xo
Maria @ Kale and Cupcakes says
I seriously get SOOO hungry every time I see your oats photography! Makes me just want to go home and make myself a bowl. : ) Have a great Monday!
Nicole @ yuppieyogini.com says
I wish Lucky Charms were REAL FOOD….they taste so yummy.
Claire says
This is a silly question,but is today the last day for free shipping at OpenSky?
Kath says
Not a silly question and the answer is yes!
Claire says
Great!!Thank you.I’m definitely ordering:-)cc
Liz says
I was so glad you posted about it yesterday. Got my Garlic Gold this morning! Can’t wait to try it.
Lisa@Lisa's Foods on the Move says
Great interview, Kath. After reading your blog for so long, it was fun to watch you on a television clip, and to hear your voice! (I’m in a building with high-speed internet; since we have satellite at home, it’s not usually fast enough to watch videos online.)
Amanda (The Nutritionist Reviews) says
Your oats look so yummy today : )
Heather says
I just had a bowl of instant oatmeal as a snack – but it looked no where near as good.
It is always so nice to have a great night sleep – it is amazing how much better you feel.
Enjoy your day.
Hanna says
I loved the interview. You are so articulate and beautiful inside and out!
Allie (Live Laugh Eat) says
I missed your southern accent, Kath!!
I could sit and listen to your mom chat about da bears for hours. I wish she had been my elementary school teacher back in the day 🙂
Gabriela @ Une Vie Saine says
Mmm I love that Naturally Nutty! I have some vanilla sunflower seed butter in the fridge…might have to use that in my lunch today 🙂 Hope your week is off to a great start!
Lea @ Healthy Coconut says
Thanks for the link to your interview. Yay, I’m glad to know BlogHer will be in San Diego in 2011, that’s in my neck of the woods. Hopefully I can attend it.
Angela @ Eat Spin Run Repeat says
Vanilla almond butter???? That sounds fabulous! I’m going to have to have a look for some. Great job on the interview! 🙂
Lauren says
Great interview! I hope I get a chance to attend one of these conferences in the next few years!
Camille says
Yay! Oats are back!
You are a big celeb now! 🙂
Callie says
Haha. The bears are so lucky to have such a nice grandma. 🙂
Mary @ Bites and Bliss says
Glad you had a good sleep!! You must have been exhausted from the trip. 😛
Amelia says
I enjoy the bear posts and commentary by grandma. I wonder what she will be like once you and Matt have real kids. My mom does the same thing with our little dog.
Glad to see the oats back!
Run Sarah says
Love the bowl & cup pattern – really pretty!
Liz @ Tip Top Shape says
Oooh, vanilla almond butter. That sounds exciting 😀
Stacy says
Great interview, and I love the bright nails! Just catching up on all your BlogHer posts, looks like you had a blast. I wish I was a blogger and could attend, it seems like such a great opportunity to network and build relationships with such strong and powerful women!
Marisa @ Loser for Life says
Grammy is the best! 🙂 She should write another childrens book about her adventures in grandparenting the bears!
sweetersalt says
A good sleep is sometimes just what you need to recover from a trip. Oats look yum!
Hillary [Nutrition Nut on the Run] says
I enjoyed your little video. Enjoy your Monday : )
Marina says
Oh, how I need that bowl of oats, with loads of nut butter…I am in serious delirium because of the lack of any nut butters, for over a week 🙁
Kat says
Is Naturally Nutty no longer available through Open Sky? I don’t see it in your shop anymore . . .
Sarah (Running to Slow Things Down) says
The oats look wonderful! I need to try that nut butter. 😀
Whitney @ Whitinspired says
That was such a good interview! Move more, eat less 🙂
lynn (The Actors Diet) says
i love that bowl design – gorgeous!
Ashley@thehungryscholar says
A homemade breakfast after a trip is always fun. 🙂
Nikki says
Kath, your interview was so inspiring! I’ve been a regular reader for awhile now and haven’t really commented, but your interview inspired me. I hope you keep blogging for years to come, because I always look forward to reading every entry at the end of my day 🙂
Kylie says
This breakfast looks heavenly! I first discovered Naturally Nutty on summer vacation last year in Traverse City, Michigan. Unfortunately, they don’t sell it in West Virginia (at least that I’ve been able to find!). If anyone knows of any venues closer than Michigan that I could buy it in, please let me know 🙂
Keep blogging, Kath–I love checking in every day!
Chelsea @ One Healthy Munchkin says
There’s nothing better than getting back to a home cooked breakfast after being away on a trip! I start going through major oatmeal/Kashi cereal withdrawal after a few days without them! 😛
Stacey@http://stacey-healthylife.blogspot.com/ says
That granola looks like it makes a nice oatmeal topping.
Rose-Anne says
How fun that you were interviewed! Your blog is a great example of what happens with dedication and a good attitude.
