Last night I was actually able to read in bed so I’m blasting through this so I can do it again!!
Woooooooooooooooooooooshhhhh!
After work I made my way home, worked for a while, and then headed back out to the gym at 5:30. It was one of those days when I was running pretty far behind schedule!
I wasn’t too hungry, but I had a small yogurt + granola snack: Chai granola and Organic Valley Plain yogurt drink
In a new lime dessert bowl I put in my shop 🙂 Sagaform has some AMAZINGLY awesome bowls and I’ve had a handful of them coming out soon!! Very excited. They are very KERF. Get a set of two of these here.
I ventured to the gym on my bike and did a simple 30 minutes on the elliptical (doing my homework and studying Better Homes + Gardens!) and then 10 minutes of solid, heavy weight. That’s about all I can do both mentally and physically 🙂 Then I hopped on my bike and headed home.
I slacked on the meal plan this week and so we’re kind of winging it and eating up our pantry at the same time. Tonight Matt made some sardine salad and steamed up a head of green cabbage.
I was going to just eat my sardines in salad form, but then I remembered a recipe for a Sardine Pate I’d seen recently on CHOW that used yogurt and a food processor to blend them.
With a big blob of Voskos low-fat yogurt –
It turned out a little liquidy but I really liked the texture!! It was easier to eat because veggies weren’t falling off my crackers into my lap 🙂
I am on the hunt for bowls for you guys!!
How cute is THIS Sagaform snack bowl!!! A sister to the one I used last night, this one is my favorite color and comes with an even cooler spork that fits right inside the bowl! Find it here.
I ate my pate with some Dr. Krackers.
The company just sent me some of their new low-sodium crackers to taste test. Could I tell I difference? Side-by-side, I could. The classic ones were definitely saltier, which I liked a lot. But the low-sodium ones were still really tasty and if you just handed me one I probably wouldn’t be able to tell the difference. I’m not watching my sodium, so I wouldn’t go out of my way to hunt down the low-sodiums, but if you are, another good tasty option!
My pile-O-steamed cabbage 🙂 I like it nice and plain – with just salt, pepper and a drizzle of oil just how Rowan-Salisbury Schools taught me to love it

My spork worked quite well with this meal – for stabbing and spreading!
Simple, but fulfilling.
Going to READ!
Go eat a sardine.
Sarena (The Non-Dairy Queen) says
Cute bowls! We are all about winging it here too! I am off to bed in a minute, only I need SLEEP after this past weekend! Enjoy your reading!
Jessica @ How Sweet It Is says
Not only are those bowls adorable, but I LOVE the sporks!
Claire says
I definitely am also on the search for bowls…and the spork is so cool. Sounds like a tasty meal. I still haven’t even tried the regular Dr. Krackers yet!
[email protected] says
I love your tri-silverware. So cool!
Jenn (Jenn's Menu and Lifestyle Blog) says
:O Doctor Kracker comes in low sodium??!! That’s exactly what I was thinking when I bought some last week, “Boy they’re good, but awful high in sodium!” I have to find these!!
Those new dishes are so cute! Love the eating utensil. 😀

Jessica @ The Process of Healing says
I loooooove cabbage like that.. I’m so weird though, most people don’t!
stephanietbs says
All of your bowls and flatwear are so cute AND functional! And I have to say thanks–I tried sardines a couple weeks ago sautéed in tomato sauce over wheat pasta and it was delicious!!! Way to be a “champion” for the Under-dog (or fish!)
Michelle @ Give Me the Almond Butter says
The spork looks like it would be awkward, but if it works thats so great! I love how it fits perfectly inside the bowl.
[email protected]://stacey-healthylife.blogspot.com/ says
Crazy but great little spoon/fork. So many amazing bowls to suck me in. I think I need more kitchen space.
Jil @ Peace, Love & Munchies says
That sardine paste sounds great – all those veggies in there! Also – love the bowls!!
Hannah says
Did I tell you I eat a can of sardines every single day? I buy the ones that come in tomato sauce, or hot sauce, and I mash them u quite like your pate. I never would have thought I’d become addicted to sardines, but it seems that I need my daily oily fish as much as I NEED my daily block of chocolate 😀
Kath says
Go you!!
Mary @ Bites and Bliss says
That spork is so cool!! I’ve never tried sardines..I might have to listen to you and go eat one haha 😛 Have a good night!
Veggielady4life says
What a crazy spork! Is it hard to use? It looks kinda short, but that may be the angle…
Kath says
Not really. I wouldn’t make it my full-time utensil or anything though 🙂
Lisa @bakebikeblog says
How cute are those bowls!
I love that you love sardines….I just can’t seem to get used to the taste 😉
Janelle says
I tried sardines the other day based on your recommendation – and just couldn’t do it. Too fishy, I was gagging them down. Too bad, they are a healthy and cheap way to get those omega’s!
Emily Eats and Exercises says
I like the lime dessert bowl. How do you have room in your cabinet for so many dishes! Also if you have company do you just use a mix and match set? or do you have a bunch of the same?
The spork may be a bit too weird for me though… 🙂
Kath says
I have no idea! we have an extra china cabinet and it’s filled up!
Liz says
Bowl so cute – Sport so cute – I never in a million years thought I’d be on the constant hunt for “fun dishes” and generally only interested in one or two vs. a “set”…this so goes against all the laws of my OCD – I even added “fun and funky” kitchenwares to my Christmas list … um, yes … I said “Christmas list”. HAHA ENJOY your reading — me too!!
Kath says
Ha! I agree!
lynn (The Actors Diet) says
pretty bowls!
Cynthia (It All Changes) says
That spork thing is strange. I don’t know if I could get the handle on using it.
Stacy (StacyGrowsHealthy) says
That spork looks like so much fun. I bet I could get my 2 year old to try new veggies if he could use that handy utensil.
Kristin (Salty Tooth) says
Love the spork. I would buy the bowl just for that!
Jenny says
Hope you enjoy reading in bed!
Kara says
Reading in bed sounds so lovely. I usually do it in the morning (gotta love summer), but you’ve got me in the mood for some tonight.
Enjoy your book.
Amber K says
Blech, I won’t be eating any fish or meat anytime soon, but the bowl is totally cute!
Marina says
I adore reading in bed, it relaxes me so much!
Love that spork, really looks handy 🙂
Heather (Heather's Dish) says
i’m so glad you like steamed cabbage…i LOVE that stuff, it’s so flavorful! love the bowl too…you’re right, it’s totally KERF-tastice 🙂
Lindsay @ Summit Sandwiches says
That spork is awesome! You are definitely looking out for us readers on the bowl and utensil front. It’s appreciated.
Sarah says
And I only thought you could get sporks at KFC – who knew? 😉
BroccoliHut says
Super cute dessert bowl! I love your taste in dishes, Kath 😉
Maren says
…I don’t think I can eat a sardine :oops:. P.s. The bowels are awesome!
maxinthegym says
That spork has got to be the strangest yet most adorable utensil I’ve ever seen!
Danielle (Runs on Green) says
Whoaaa that is one crazy cool utensil 🙂
Annie @ stronghealthyfit says
That bowl is so cute! I love things that are so compact and useful 🙂
Freya @ Brit Chick Runs says
Haha, I wing it every night 😛 no meal plans for me!
Love the idea of blending it, very ingenius 😀
Kori says
I was already planning on having a sardine salad sandwich today, so I just thought it was a funny coincidence that you enjoyed one yourself. 😉 Sardines are definitely 1 of my ultimate favorite seafoods. I just started my summer accounting class, so I’m hoping to do well in it. Is it a class that you have found to be helpful in your nutrition career? I’m just curious how necessary it is for the average nutritionist that may not open his/her own business. Anyways, I hope you’ve been having a great week thus far! 🙂
Kath says
I took Accounting in college and found it to be very helpful for life in general (taxes, etc.) And very good for future business owning!
Ana says
Ohh, how cute is that lime dessert bowl!
Do they have it with other fruit themes? I would love a watermelon one!

JENNA says
simple dinners are the best.
I love that snack bowl!! what a genious idea!
Jaclynn says
You have inspired me. I am having sardine salad for lunch today. I like sardines but never think about eating them. Just so happens I had a can in the pantry!
