G’afternoon y’all!
After nutrition class this morning I was successful at my walk + study session. I walked at the indoor track for about an hour while memorizing my last few flashcards for today’s midterm. I am able to focus more when walking and studying because there is less distraction than when I sit at a table and people walk. My leggins are a little tired, so I’m guessing it was a good workout too.
I ventured back up to my academic building’s lounge to dine and catch up on blogs around noon.
The lunch centerpiece was half an amazing Pumpkin Bagel from my Aunt Donna’s Hot Bagel Company in Oakridge, TN. If you’re ever in Tennessee, you must stop in and say hello! They make the best chewy bagels. And this pumpkin one did not disappoint! (Karen brought us a few back from her weekend trip there).
I topped the half with pumpkin butter (which was mostly absorbed overnight) and AB.
My friend and carpool buddy Kelsey raves about Nancy’s yogurt and brought me some to try this morning. I swapped out my Chobani to give it a taste test with lunch.
It was good, but I still like greek and TJ’s Euro more!
Here’s my overall yogurt ranking if I had to live off one kind for the rest of my life (all are plain except Chobani, which I feel is worth its own sugar, and Stonyfield FOTB for it’s Costco price)
- TJ’s Greek
- Chobani (first plain, then peach, then blueberry, then strawberry, then vanilla)
- Fage
- TJ’s European
- Emmi Swiss
- Oikios
- Nancy’s
- Brown Cow
- Stonyfield Fruit on the Bottom
- Stonyfield plain
I also packed some leftover roasted veggies, which I ate cold –
And an orange, which I peeled on site –
Holy Quaker!!
I write with the very exciting news that I have been invited to join The Quaker Oatmeal Living Proof Weekend, an all expenses paid trip to Quaker’s National Headquarters in Chicago with 15 other health and food bloggers (including Jenna!!) November 7-9.
Weekend highlights include: interviews with the Quaker staff and an R.D., roundtable discussions, dinner with the other bloggers and an Oatmealpalooza Breakfast Bar!! I’ll be asking for your ideas and questions about all-things-Quaker oats before the trip. You can only imagine how excited I am considering my love for oatmeal.
In celebration of the upcoming weekend, Quaker has offered to giveaway a goodie pack to 3 KERF readers. The products include Old Fashioned Quaker Oats (the best!), Quaker Instant Oatmeal, Quaker Oatmeal To Go and Quaker Oatmeal Squares (and old favorite of mine I haven’t had in years).
To enter the giveaway, leave a comment on this post by my dinner post tonight and I’ll draw 3 comment numbers from a hat this evening to announce sometime tomorrow.
Off to spit out Foodservice information!
Emily says
Delurking to say I love oats!!! Congrats on the trip – it sounds like it will be a lot of fun!
zestycook says
haha love the title Kath…. and in addition to that I have been having an orange craving today at the office to say the least and now you just made it worse 🙂 Hope you have a great afternoon.
zesty
Kel says
I love me some oats! that’s a very cool honor to get asked to go to their convention! 🙂
magpie says
That’s AWESOME about the Quaker retreat! You’re gonna have so much fun 🙂
The bagel looks divine!
eileen says
I have been reading your blog for a few days and you inspire me. I have started eating your wonderful oatmeal creations and I am hooked!!!!! Have fun on your trip I hear Chicago is a beautiful city.
Danielle says
How exciting for you! My dad’s favorite city is Chicago you should have a great time! Bring lots of warm clothes though!
Ally says
Yay!! I’m happy you get to the oatmeal weekend…it’s perfect for you!! I read Jenna’s blog too and knew she was going so that’s awesome news! This is the perfect time of year to start eating a lot of oatmeal.
Katie says
I eat Quaker Weight Control oatmeal (maple and brown sugar) every morning. My workmates LOVE the way it makes the office smell!
Sara says
Sounds like a fantastic trip! And oatastic. It will be interesting to read about the roundtable discussions…and about the breakfast bar, of course!
eatavegan says
Have fun on your Spectacular Oat Weekend — Illinois is GORGEOUS this time of year!
p.s. That pumpkin bagel looks delicious…!
Ash says
Hooray for blog friends meeting in person! How fun that you and Jenna will both be at the oats conventions!
Katie says
I am so jealous! You will have a blast in Chicago…and an oatmeal bar, could it get any better!!!???
jen says
Have fun in Chicago!
Kelly says
Soo jealous…what a great trip! You’ll probably learn lot and have so much fun.
Cat says
Yay for getting invited to the quaker weekend!!! I saw that posted on Jenna’s website and I thought, “huh, why wasn’t Kath invited too??” Hope you have an amazing time!!
Mariel says
I couldn’t find the TJ’s Greek yogurt last time either! I’ll have to give the European a try! That is awesome about the Quaker Oats weekend in Chicago!
Ann says
I’ve been reading your blog for a while now, although I haven’t commented. It is definitely in my top 3 favourite food blogs! I only wish I had half the foods available to me that you do, because I have to admit, I’ve very envious of some of the dishes you come up with. Keep up the wonderful blogging, and congrats on getting to attend that Quaker Oat Weekend, who wouldn’t have a blast there?! 🙂
Laura T says
Quaker could not have picked a better and more deserving “Oatmeal Girl” to attend their special oatmeal weekend/trip. Your next good news will be that your pic is now on the Quaker Oats box!!
Have fun!
Allison says
I think TJ’s Greek yogurt tastes the most like sour cream and unlike fage, I can’t just eat it plain, although I do use it as a sour cream substitute. I just love Fage.
The oatmeal weekend sounds GREAT!
Sarah says
Free oatmeal = I’m in! That’s exciting that you get to go.
And I am SOOOOO jealous you got to eat Nancy’s this AM. That is my favorite yogurt, but they don’t sell it anywhere near me!! 🙁
JennC says
That is soooo exciting! I LOVE oatmeal things!!! All cereals everything!
MK says
Sometimes I think I shoud start a blog to get all the cool free stuff that you do! Congrats!
Barb Winkle says
I have really appreciated your creativity with oats and it is now in my breakfast routine. Thanks for all the time you spend blogging for others!
Barb
Kate says
I have started making your oatmeal in the morning and I loveeeeeeeeeeeeee it.
jenner says
Ooh so exciting! Congrats on the invite!! After that trip, you will probably have enough oatmeal to last you a lifetime. 🙂
TJ is at the top of my plain yogurt list too, esp for the price!! (I also love their individual-size chocolate, mocha, and matcha green tea…!) Another plain (not Greek-style) yogurt you might want to try is Cascade Fresh. I think it has relatively more protein than other plain yogurts http://www.cascadefresh.com/index.html and I usually get it at Whole Foods, but according to the website, it’s carried at Earthfare and Lowes Foods as well.
And hey– apparently, you’re getting TWO Whole Foods in the near future… Elizabeth Ave & Hawthorn and Sharon Rd & Colony Rd
Marie says
I heard about the Quaker event since I live in Chicago — That will be really interesting and fun!! I’m a huge fan of the Oatmeal Squares, so much that I only buy a box once in a while because I end up eating a bowl every single day til its gone 🙂 Even better that Jenna is going, I read both your blogs every day – let me know if any free time comes up that weekend for the two of you!
Rachel says
I’ve been a lurker for a while. Your oatmeal creations inspire me (I had never eaten oatmeal and pb before). Have a great time in Chicago!
Laura says
I have been a long time reader and have to say – that is so exciting about the Quaker retreat! If anyone deserves to go, it’s you!
Mere says
a whole weekend dedicated to oats?? thats amazing! you and jenna are going to have a fabulous time 🙂
D.D. says
I never ate oatmeal until I saw your blog- now I eat it every morning- you’ve got me hooked!!
Em says
I’d love some free oats!
Meg says
Congrats! I love me some oatmeal. Just made some homemade banana bread oatmeal for breakfast last week and thinking I need to do it again!
Betsy in Pittsburgh says
Awesome! I’ve never been to Chicago, so I can’t wait to hear how the trip goes!
Alex says
I also tend to study better when I am exercising at the same time – if I study while on my computer, then the temptation is just too great to do other things. Things must have been so much easier before the internet! (Well, in that way, at least.)
Cyndi says
Ok, seriously, I eat oatmeal EVERY day. I am so jealous!!! Can’t wait to see what ideas you come back with!!
melissa sue says
how awesome that they invited you to attend, but not surprising! you are ALWAYS raving about oats.
honestly, your blog and oats have pretty much changed my life. i eat them at least five mornings a week, if not more. hooray for oats (and quaker, although i actually buy mine in bulk … )
Kate says
I used to hate oatmeal, but it has become increasingly one of my favorite things to eat for breakfast, especially during the cooler months. Kath, I only discovered your blog recently, but have become OBSESSED with reading all the interesting things you do with oatmeal.
Christie says
That’s really awesome that you’ve been asked to do that. I love oatmeal! I am eating some now 🙂
Sarah says
Free oats? Count me in! Love your blog and all the recipes–you’ve got me hooked on pumpkin oatmeal! 🙂
Brandi says
A whole weekend of oatmeal? Be still my heart.
That sounds the perfect weekend to me 🙂 My husband does not understand my love of oatmeal.
I can’t wait to see pictures!
Canuck Jules says
I’m new to oatmeal, but now I’m bordering on obsessed…Sometimes I want it for dinner now too, and my poor hubby has to fend for himself! ;o)
Ashley Rudolph says
That is so exciting that not only do you get to fly to an awesome city but ALSO you get to see Jenna again!!! I can’t wait to hear your new ideas, etc!
DaisyMay says
I think they made that trip for you! congrats. I cant wait to read all about it.
Ozlem says
Hey kath- i was wondreing what is your favorite almond butter.. also have you tried larabar gingersnap and choc. hazelnut? both are delicious!!!
take care
bridget says
I love quaker oatmeal squares but they are way too expensive!! What dietitians don’t make up for in salaries, we make up for in free food samples that companies send us (to promote, but hey, if they’re good, the samples sometimes come home too). I’m interested to hear what the RD has to say…working in corporate could definitely be cool!
Mariposa says
i love oatmeal too… I would be in heaven for the weekend! have fun!
Suzanne says
that’s so great about the Quaker oats getaway – it’ll be a perfect trip for you! 🙂
Aimee says
That sounds like a wonderful weekend, and I can’t wait to hear all about it in November.
Great idea to walk and study! In college and law school I always took flashcards to the gym, because I hate to sit still!
Emily says
Pumpkin bagels?! Yummm… I am in Georgia, so I may have to make a weekend trip to the north just for one of your aunt’s yummy bagels. I just handed out pumpkin donuts I picked up from my local grocery store to my first graders. It’s the 50th day of school and “Zero the Hero” visits and brings in a treat in the shape of a zero (pineapple rings, cheerios, bagels, donuts, cookies, lifesavers, funyun chips, etc.) The kids raved about their pumpkin donuts so much that I broke down and ate one too. It was muy delish! P.S. I’m a three times a day reader and oatmeal addict and if it helps to know I’m a poor (just bought my first house and getting married in November) young teacher who buys many things for my class all the time to win the contest, then here I am pouring out my soul to you to please, please, pick me!! 🙂
mags says
in the opinion of an “un-biased” chicago resident…. GREATEST CITY ON EARTH!
kayla says
yum…oatmeal! have fun and take loads of pics!
js says
hey,
pick me. i love oatmeal. and blogs.
Cupcake81 says
Lunch looks delish! Congrats on being invited to the conference…sounds like fun!
Kate says
Congrats on the trip! I’ve been reading your blog for a couple of months, and I’ve loved making your oatmeal on weekend mornings. Last weekend I even made some (with just oats, water, banana and cinnamon) for my 8-month old daughter, and she loved it too! My 3-year old son has been eating it as well.
A question for you- I would love to prepare some oatmeal on the weekend to have during the week. I like putting the banana in b/c it makes it nice and sweet without having to add other sweetener. Do you wait and add the banana on the day you’re eating so it doesn’t turn brown? Any hints you have would be great!
Congrats again on the trip!
Emily says
I should add for all you foodie teachers out there that “Zero the Hero” doesn’t bring all those things in on the 50th day… today happened to be the donuts, but he brings in something on every day of school that ends in zero, like 10, 20, 30, etc. On the 100th day, he brings in a bundt cake shaped like a big zero to share with the class.
Heather says
You and Jenna will have such a great time!
And I’d like some oatmeal…:)
gretchen says
oh my goodness, i am SO jealous of this oatmeal conference! well-deserved for our resident expert, though 🙂 have fun!
Sunshine says
ooooh, i LOVE oatmeal. And making it your way (with a blended banana, and ‘mix-ins’) has made it a DAILY meal in my house.
melissa says
sounds fun!! loooove me some oatmeal!
Kristen says
Hi Kath! I have been reading your blog for about 6 months now, and it has really changed the way I eat! I am a college student and your recipes have made me so much happier and healthier! Thanks especially for all your great oatmeal ideas! 🙂
Jaclyn says
You might need a thicker winter coat for Chicago in November!
Meghann says
That sounds like so much fun! I wish I could be invited! Have fun, I can’t wait to hear all about it. 🙂
Jeannie says
I heart Quaker Oats! Woooo!
caitlin says
pick meeeeeeee!
Bridget says
That pumpkin bagel looks amazing!
Marianne says
Have an awesome time at the convention – who knew they had oat conventions? Actually, I didn’t know about alot of food things before the whole food blogging world!
And that cranberry sauce looks awesome on your yogurt – so vibrant!
Becky says
Mmmmm, that pumpkin bagel sounds wonderful! I all about “all things pumpkin” this season!
That Quaker weekend sounds like fun!

I’m a new reader, within the last week or two, and I love your blog! I check it at least 3 times a day. I’m finding it very inspirational; this year I’m cooking daily for myself for the first time and it so good to see how easy and healthy it can be. And I am also newly in love with Oatmeal! I want to cook with it everyday!
Danielle J says
That bagel looks delicious!
And boy oh boy do I love oats!
Runeatrepeat says
Super cool about the convention. I read about it on Jenna’s blog and wondered who else would be invited. Have a blast and tell us all about it!
polly says
ooooh OATS! 🙂 That is so cool Kath, about your trip to Chicago. OAT-standing news. 🙂
Kate says
I must have a bagel of that consistency asap.
And a basketfull of Quaker oats deliciousness wouldn’t be all bad either!
JenP says
Make sure to keep bundled up. Warm oats can’t combat Chicago wind!
Maureen says
I love your blog, and oatmeal too! Have fun on your trip.
Megan says
I love pumpkin bagels, but I love Oatmeal even more! I could eat it all day long! That is so exciting that you get to have several oatmeal filled days!

Tracey Pollack says
Hi Kath!
Congratulations on being selected to attend the Quaker event! That’s so exciting!
I absolutely LOVE Quaker oatmeal and it’s all because of you! Once I saw the chewy, gooey deliciousness of your banana-marshmallow oatmeal on the blog, I had to try it. One taste and I instantly became addicted – both to Quaker and to your blog! Believe it or not, I was 32 before I ever tried oatmeal – and now I sometimes eat it for all three meals! I would love to be selected as one of your lucky winners. I’m already addicted to both Katheats and Quaker, so I’ve got to support my habit!
Melissa says
I am so jealous! I eat Quaker Organic Instant Oatmeal every morning at work! I melt bananas in it every morning and just bought pumpkin today after seeing your beautiful pictures.
JLynn says
Leave a comment for a chance at free oatmeal…no problem. Oatmeal is really the best breakfast, especially now that it’s getting cold!
Jaime says
have fun on the trip!!
I love oatmeal too!!!
Elina (Healthy and Sane) says
I’ll take one of those Quaker packages off your hands 🙂
That’s awesome about the trip…

Have fun in Chicago! It’s getting cold up here- pack warmly! Will you have time for a reader dinner/get-together? That would be awesome!
Becky says
Ah, what I would do for a pumpkin bagel! That looks so good. And the oatmeal giveaway doesn’t sound too bad either. 😉

Katy G. says
I love Quaker Oatmeal Squares. (I ate it every day for breakfast this summer, no joke!)
Bethany says
I’ve been an avid reader of your blog for a while but haven’t commented until now. When I heard Jenna and Mizfit were going to the Quaker Weekend, I couldn’t believe you hadn’t been invited! I’m glad to hear that you did because you’re the biggest lover of oatmeal I know of!
Amanda Scott says
I need that bagel! Have fun on your exciting trip!! I eat oatmeal almost every day and even did as a little kid. Yea for Quaker!!
fiona says
Kath- You’re in for a true treat. I love Quaker’s weight control oatmeal because it has an insane amount of protein- especially when I add some greek yogurt. Sooo good! You’re going to have a fabulous time at the conference. Promise to take lots of pics (with Jenna of course)!
Ashley says
Oatmeal is the best! 🙂
Alison says
Oooo count me in! GOOO #110!
What an awesome opportunity, very cool!
Lee says
Woo hoo. Pick me!
Alison says
aww man, two people snuck comments in, GOOO #112!
Janet says
I just found your blog through another BlogHer site, and I think it’s great! I’ve been thinking a lot about going back to school to become an RD, and seeing someone else liberal arts degree making it happen is very inspirational!
Rachel says
How exciting!! I have a strong love for oatmeal too! I crave it every morning for breakfast! My favorite is pumpkin oatmeal!
Kelly says
That’s so cool – sounds like you’ll have a great time at that conference! I would love to wake up to an Oatmealpalooza Breakfast Bar…yummm!

Grammie2Maddie says
Love oatmeal – in fact after working all day yesterday – all I wanted were the beloved oats with, of course, banana mixed in with soy milk. It hit the spot and soothed my tummy!
Love them!!
Ali says
The oatmeal trip sounds so amazing! Congrats! Also, do you make your pumpkin butter or buy it?!

Quaker Oat squares have been a favorite of mine for years, they are so tasty.
Meghann says
Yay- so glad you were invited to the Quaker conference! I won’t be there, but I WILL be in Chicago the same weekend for the Ohio State/Northwestern game (go bucks!)! Can’t wait to see your posts and hear about what you plan to do while you’re there besides the conference! I would love to meet you (and Jenna), however I know free time will be limited! 🙂
Mary Beth says
Haha everyone wants to score some free quacker goodies. Just goes to show how many oatmeal fans are out there! I’ve seriously contemplated starting my own blog to get in on some of these freebies! (well, i guess that + my love for cooking, nutrition, and healthy living!)
Ange C. says
I was hoping you’d get invited to the Chicago Oat Fest….considering your oatmeal obession. Congrats and yay! You’ve inspired many of my oatmeal concoctions and many others as well. I hope my number gets picked! I LOVE, LOVE anything oatmeal. 😉
M.E. says

cbinkc says
Hooray for oats! I need to give pumpkin oatmeal a try:)
crissy says
your blog inspired me to start being more creative with my oatmeal every morning (the only way to start the day). Sounds like such a cool trip opportunity!
JW says
Free oats would be awesome!
JJJ says
Hmm i’m curious to try the rachel’s yogurt…interesting how you dressed it up. was it the plain flavor?
Amy says
I was wondering if you would be going to that considering you eat oats all the time! 🙂 I’m glad you get to go. Can’t wait to read about your trip there!
JDH says
I love oats! I eat them every day for breakfast or lunch! And quaker is my favorite! I hope you learn a ton in Chicago and enlighten your readers! I will surely be posting tonight with the hopes of getting picked!
Sarah says
Please take pictures of the breakfast bar!! I want to see what quaker comes up with for their oatmeal.
Have a wonderful time in Chicago!
Ashley says
Hi there! I figured a contest for free oat-y goodness would be a good time to finally comment! I am a college student trying to keep up with the healthy eating my major deals with (health promotion, formerly food and nutrition science) and would love some free oatmeal! 🙂
Gingersnap says
Oh wow, already over 100 posts! I thought I would still leave my two cents…I love oats! Every morning (when possible :)). Kath, your blog is an ispiration to me…I have started my own and it’s really helped me eat well! Toodles!
Dale says
That’s exciting news! Have fun in Chicago and take lots of pictures of course 🙂
hk says
oat= amazing! i’m all for the freebies 🙂
I’m a tried and true yogurt lover, pretty much all varieties I’ve tried…not much of a flavored fan, but I agree with your ranking order, otherwise 🙂
glad you got some study on while walking- I’ll need some tips on that 🙂
good luck!
BethT says
I’m so sad that Brown Cow is so low on your list…it’s my fave! I think it’s the creamiest and least processed. Then again, I’m not a huge fan of greek yogurts….sad.
As a Chicago native, I would be too full on deep dish pizza to eat oatmeal at that conference 😀
SmA033 says
I LOVE OATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😀
lucy says
Congrats Kath. I look forward to leaving a dinner comment 🙂 When I read about Jenna going to Chicago, I was wondering when the “Oat Queen” would get an invite. I lived in Chicago for several yrs and it’s the best. I think you’ll love it.
Kelly says
ooh how fun!! I’ve only ever ventured into the land of minute oatmeal…not the “real” thing.
Jen says
Congrats on the trip! Look at all the up roar the oats have caused in your comments!!
HOPE I WIN 😉
Jen
Andrew says
Kath,
Way to go. I’ve been lurking for quite a while now and have tried to follow some of the things you write about. I too am an oat freak. I chow down the multigrain oats every morning after my walk and hope the cardiologist notices when next I meet him!
Congrats again.
Karen says
Sounds like a great weekend trip! I love oatmeal too.
Krista (kristaskravings) says
I bet you’ve never had this many comments before! I just had to try my luck because I’d wither away without my oats!
I bet that pumpkin bagel rocked!
Susan says
Yipee for oats!
Paula says
Pick me!!!!
Lauren says
oats please!
Rose says
Count me in!
Ellen says
What a fun opportunity! I have to say, as a college student, I am so grateful for oatmeal as an inexpensive and healthy breakfast option. I’m glad quaker and KERF opened my eyes to its many possibilities! Thank you :]
Jennifer says
Love your blog, congrats!
sharon says
Cool that you got picked! It sounds like a lot of fun to be surrounded by all those Oats :o) I live in Chicago and it’s a great city-hope you guys have time to check out the town & do some sightseeing. It’s been so cold & dreary lately, so I hope the weather will be nice for the conference.
Btw, I also LOVE the TJ’s Greek Yogurt. I can’t wait until it is back on the shelves. I was there the other day and saw the european variety, but I didn’t. Now I wish I did since you’ve tried it and seem to really enjoy it!
Have a great day-lunch looks yummy!
baggles says
Hope you have fun in Chi-town!! Love me some quaker oatmeal squares 😉
Lynn says
congrats! please enter me in the contest too
Jtine says
I like the Oatmeal Squares cereal but does anyone else remember the Quaker Oatmeal Squares from a few years back that were like pop-tarts?? They were a healthier (maybe!) version of pop-tarts and I used to eat them in college as mini on-the-go meals but they were discontinued before the cereal hit shelves.
Leah says
So jealous! I’d love to go to this fun filled oat loving weekend!
Since I can’t go.. i’m entering the giveaway!
Tiffany says
Still love your blog! I haven’t commented in a long time, but check in daily!
What a fun trip- congrats!
val says
I do research on oats! HAHA had to try to get the goodies!
Faye says
Look at all these comments for oats! Well, I love em too! A trip to Chicago sounds so exciting! Eating all those oats shouldn’t keep you from trying some deep dish pizza though!
Mel says
Congrats on being picked for the Quaker event, they will definietely take really good care of you!
Miss Tiffie says
hehe you and your love of oats. you totally have influenced soo many ppl that oats are the way to go (including myself) that’s sooo awesome tho being able to go :] yay congrats!!!
& that first picture with the pumpkin bagel and the pumpkin butter *stomach gurgles* it looks sooo scrumptious!!!
Michelle in SC says
Hey Kath and readers! I haven’t posted in a while…but I gotta do it for free oats!
Erica says
How exciting! I know Mizfit is going too! Enjoy!
Jen D. says
Ohhh, oatmeal giveaway! Sorry that’s the reason for my delurking…. And congrats!
Julie L says
Oooh, I love oatmeal! I now eat it every day for breakfast – the microwave version of Kath’s oats – banana is a must! and, I’ve now gotten addicted to almond butter too – the Trader Joe’s version is yummy!
Thanks Quaker and Kath!! 🙂
Sara says
That’s so exciting! Congrats on the invite! I can’t think of anyone better to get invited…you’ve inspired me get away from the instant packets of oatmeal and try the real thing…which I now LOVE! 🙂 Have fun.
Meghan (another Meghan) says
Congrats! I used to have the weight control quaker oats all the time (I think almost every morning) sr year my first year out of college. The weight control fourmla keeps me full way longer then just a normal pack of instant oats (protein & fiber) Now that I read your blog and have a kitchen it doesn’t compare to kath oats. Quacker was giving away the Oatmeal to go bars at my gym last week….very sweet…and I usually like sweet things.
Also, trader joe’s has greek yogurt back in stock! Yay!
🙂
Laura says
I’m so jealous about your trip!
And that bagel looks amazingggg
Jana says
Hrm. I wonder if Quaker ships overseas.;-)
kate says
yum, oats 🙂
gina (fitnessista) says
WHOA! look at all of these comments!

char says
Also delurking because I would love some free oats, I eat them every morning in the winter!
Kathryn says
Wow – looks like a lot of people want to win the Quaker Oats! I really feel like I should become a food blogger. Would be difficult to do it with my full time job, but all the free food, giveaways and trip perks really make me want to do it!
cindy says
Oats, oats,
I love oats-
if I don’t start the day with oats,
I am lost

Addie says
Mmmm…I love oatmeal!
Anne Leinart says
Hi Kath…are any of the Quaker events open to the public? I live in Chicago, and my favorite event this summer was “Flavor Fest,” a Whole Food sponsored event where there were dozens and dozens of tents giving out free samples of natural and organic foods. I got enough goodies to last me three months!
Also, are you and Jenna open to a blog reader get together like a meal or a jog? Or are your schedules pretty packed? (And it’s not too cold to run outside just yet–I just got back from a refreshing run down by the lake).
Livestrong says
I am sooooo jealous of your trip….I LOVE OATMEAL and all of their fabulous products. You are a lucky lucky lady!!!

DmL says
Who knew an oatmeal giveaway would elicit so many comments! I just had Quaker Natural Harvest Oatmeal (cinnamon apple), adding some chopped pecans to it, this morning. Not the elaborate type of oats Kath makes, but very tasty (and quick!)
Kat says
I live for oats – people laugh at me because that is the one thing I want if I was trapped on an island…yup oats!
Kat

Hey Kath! I have been a huge Quaker fan ever since I was born. My dad used to make me oatmeal every weekend and we always make the Quaker oatmeal cookie recipe around Christmas time. Now that I am grown and living on my own I have a bowl of oats almost every morning 😉 Keeps me good and strong! Anyway, love your blog!
Olivia says
your trip sounds awesome and so does this contest!

Ok, I have to admit that I glanced down at the number of comments on this post, BEFORE I read about the giveaway, and I figured it had to be some major drama….but this is WAYYYY better.

Erin says
Wow, I’ve never seen so many comments!
Congrats on your trip. I’m excited for your report back! I can only imagine the breakfast buffet they will have!

daphna says
How exciting! I am interested to read that you like Stonyfield yogurt least. I usually eat that kind, but now I want to try the TJs yogurt!
Biz says
Fage 0% is still my fav. It tastes like eating icecream to me, and as a diabetic, that is nice!
Congrats on your trip to Chicago! Bundle up – it was 35 degrees here this morning!
Tiff P says
Hi Kath

Holy cow, look at the comments for the Quaker post! Have exciting to be invited for that event…when Jenna announced it on her blog awhile back, I immediately thought, Kath should go to that! 🙂
Mary Helen says
Have fun in Chicago! I have never been, but have heard it is beautiful. Sign me up for the Quaker giveaway 🙂

Justy2003 says
I was wondering what was going on when I saw there were over 200 comments on this post! Now I know…everyone LOVES oatmeal! Including ME! 😀 And those oatmeal squares are delish! I can’t buy them all the time though because they quickly disappear…
Congrats on the Quaker trip…I can’t wait to see all the oats and stuff you get! And food bloggers meeting up…fun!
Here’s to hoping I win…however with over 275 comments, it’s a long shot!
brooke1979 says

Ahh so many comments! I would love to win as well! Such an exciting conference for you too!
Amandamoo says
Thanks for the list of yogurts! I agree with most of your choices although I put all the Greek ones at the top of my list. Have you tried 3 Greek Gods brand? Maybe it’s a Colorado thing… They have a pom flavor that is amazing with very low sugar!
becks says
What the hey, I love oatmeal too! Hook me up!
Amisha says
Your bagel looks awesome!! Have fun in Chicago. Maybe I’ll run into you downtown because I work close to the Quaker building.
Anne P says
Good LORD you have a lot of readers. I’ll throw myself into the mix too 🙂
Michelle in Alaska says
I have to say that I started to eat oatmeal for breakfast once I started reading your food blog along with Jenna’s blog. I love how it keeps me full compared to cold cereal!!
Nicole O says
You and Jenna both have me on an oatmeal kick! I eat it everyday now! Thanks for all the creative ideas! Have fun in chicago!!
Kelly L. says
Oats oats oats!! 🙂
Allison says
There are SOOO many comments! I actually have a question. I am a Nutritional Science major (YAY!), and am currently taking my 2nd semester of general chemistry. I was wondering how you liked organic compared to gen? My teacher is HORRIBLE for gen, he literally is only at the university to do research!!! He could care less about students. Therefore, I’m excited to move on to organic next semester! I’ve heard it’s hard, but I was just wondering if you think people exaggerate how hard it really is!
Lisa says
We are all big fans of Quaker here!!! Have fun.
Katie says
I am so jealous! Oatmeal AND Chicago? Sounds like fun 🙂
Rachel says
Yum, I love oatmeal too! I’m totally jealous of your trip to Chicago!

Oh, and I love oats!
Laura says
I love these give aways! Have a great week.
Stacey says
Betcha you regret the comment, “To enter the giveaway, leave a comment on this post by my dinner post tonight and I’ll draw 3 comment numbers from a hat this evening to announce sometime tomorrow.”
Yikes, you’ve created a lot of work for yourself.
Now, how to fairly and correctly choose three winners from 300+ commenters? Good luck!
BTW, I love oatmeal, too. 🙂
Sami says
I want to win! =] I’m glad I didn’t put off reading untill tomarrow!
ModelBehavior says
That’s a lot of comments! I guess there’s lots of oat lovers that read KERF 😀

Casey says
I love oatmeal!!! <3
Kelsey Miles says
oats are oatastic.
Ann says
Hi, Kath,
I read your blog daily (religiously!) but never post…I am from Chicago…are you going to be meeting any readers when you come here?
Melissa P. says
Holy smokes… So sorry that you have to look through 310 comments… Yikes!
My love of oatmeal extends far beyond breafast. It goes in meatloaf, cookies and best of all- cupcakes!!!!
LT says
Yeah, wow, this is so funny–comments are really rolling in for the oat-tastic chance to win!
Sarah says
thrilled for you about your trip!
that pumpkin bagel with the pumpkin butter looks a-mazing!
Justy2003 says
Amandamoo-
Not sure if you’ll see this since there’s a ton of comments, but just wanted to say I’ve had the Greek Gods yogurt! I thought it was delicious, however the ingredient list kinda bothered me. The reason it’s sooo creamy is they put CREAM in it! I haven’t been able to find the low-fat versions, so the full-fat yogurt PLUS the cream makes for quite a bit of saturated fat. It is very tasty though!
Tammy says
Love your site…read all the time!! Congrats on getting selected for the trip to chicago!!
eat2run2live says
I <3 oats!!! I would love to win some from those ol’ Quakers!
Amy A. says
wow, i’ve never seen so many comments on here before!!

Amy A. says
PS I also like oats with normal sweet toppings. (Does this enter me in the drawing twice?!?)
haya says

Caroline F. says
What a fun getaway!!! Congrats, Im always up for some free oats! Count me in 🙂
Nancy says
I have yet to make a “real” bowl of oatmeal the old fashioned way, but think I am up to the challenge. Thanks for providing us with a stimulating and creative blog! Have a fabulous trip to Chicago.
Anna says
Congratulations! Giveaways are the best and this is right up your alley. Have so much fun! I’ll be enjoying the Rocky Mountains in Colorado that weekend. 🙂

jayne says

Kinder says
Holey comments, Batman!
How fitting that you will be on an oatilicious weekend! I wonder just how many people you have inspired to eat oatmeal! Certainly me! But I have to say I would never eat oats with ketchup or mustard!
You can enter me, but I am Canadian, so not sure how that works (=
K says
I would love to win the oatmeal goodies!!!
Tracy says
Wow, now you know how many ppl read your blog! Have fun in Chicago!
Kate says
Pick me! Congrats!!!!
BEllis says
Congratulations, Kath!! I just moved from Chicago, and I can assure you that you’re going to have a wonderful time there! Nobody deserves to be at an oatmeal extravaganza more than you! Your daily oatmeal breakfasts have motivated me to cook a bowl of banana oats (with all the fixings of course!) every morning. And yes, I’d love to be entered for the contest! 🙂
Sarah says
I feel like such a transparent poster — but nothing inspires me like an opportunity for free food (especially when the food is oats, the best grain ever discovered). I’m addicted to your blog and read it every day, so keep the entertaining food updates coming!
Holly says
I <3 oats!!!
Ash says
OMG I’ve never seen so many comments. Can you believe that many people read your blog between lunch and dinner? Have fun in Chicago 🙂
Jessica says
wow crazy amount of comments on this one!

Sarah says

Kirsten Cederberg says
Congrats on the invite! I am sure that will be great fun! Does your husband get to join you?
goalie30 says
offer free oatmeal and we shall post! i think everyone’s coming out of the woodwork on this one! but i still hope i win 😉 thanks for your ratings on the different yogurt brands; my store doesn’t offer most of those, so i like to know what else is out there and what’s good. i just had my first oikos today, honey flavored, and i didn’t care for the honey in it too much, but LOVED the texture of the yogurt, nice and thick!
Kath says
CHI-town readers,
I’m not sure of my flight schedule or even the whole weekend schedule, but I think both Jenna and I would like to try to get together with some readers – for drinks or a run or whatever we can! We’re staying at the Hard Rock Hotel. I’ll post a call for emails when I have more info.
jenner ,
Thanks for the integer link – I might do that instead!
I do like Cascade Fresh, but it has a lot of sugar like the other sweetened ones.
And those Whole Foods stores have been promised for over 3 years now. I know one of the deals fell through, but I’m not getting my hopes up 🙁
Ozlem ,
Favorite almond butter….I haven’t tried many, but for the all-natural ones I like my Harris Teether brand one. For one made with a little sugar and spice, the MaraNatha is awesome.
Anne Leinart,
I think the event closed (I think it’s just us 15 bloggers).
Jennifer Lingvai,
It is a killer class – but I just need a C to get it on my transcript so I’m not sweating it. Just annoyed!
Lauren ,
Another 10/26!!!!!! YAY!
Amandamoo ,
I haven’t seen that brand, but I’m always on the lookout for new yogurts, so I’ll try it if I see it.
Allison ,
Hang in there! So far I MUCH prefer Organic to General. General is just so pointless and dumb. But I do have a better professor for Organic that I’ve ever had in Gen Chem so that def. has something to do with it. Organic is harder because it is much more subjective, but it’s also more fun, if you can call it that 🙂
mom ,
LOL!
Kirsten Cederberg,
Unfortunately no (I didn’t bother to ask). He probably has to work that weekend anyways.
Kath
chiara Goodyear says
THAT IS GREAT!
Stacey M says
This number of comments must be some kind of record?? (2nd post for me; don’t wanna be accused of trying to cheat!)
Mariel says
I love oatmeal too! 🙂
julie says
thats so exciting to go to the oatmeal weekend!
Becca A says
Aaw I missed the contest, oh well…
Kath/Matt…I’ve been wanting to try to make pumpkin bagels…any tips from the fam?
Josie says
It looks like more people read Kath Eats than we think! haha.
Alicia says
I really do believe a KERF Chicago ’08 dinner is in order… I am more than happy to make restaurant suggestions! How about dessert at TRU?
Eliza says
Just wanted to add that as a 20-something out of college, I love to have another 20-something’s world-view. I would totally watch a Kath lifestyle show (and any cameos by the Husband) 🙂
Thanks again Kath
Becci says
BUMMER, the one night I didn’t religiously read your blog and I miss out!
You have helped me fall in love again with oatmeal 🙂
I love your nut butter trick – it is soooo good. My buddies thought I was crazy when I told them how I eat my oatmeal. I did mix it up this morn and used unsweetened TJ’s applesauce….. It was sooooo good!
Foodie (Fab and Delicious Food) says
Wow, congrats on all the comments!
