Morning! Nearly Afternoon!
Matt’s flight was delayed by an hour last night, so we didn’t end up going to bed until 1AM. Consequently, we slept till 9AM.
I had been 3 weeks since Matt has had KERF oatmeal, so by special request I made a big pot
We incorporated some Great Harvest ingredients:
The end of a bag of Groovy Granola (which was incredibly crunchy!)
Huckleberry Preserves – with seeds! My fav
And a new kind of vanilla! It was a hint more marshmallow than usual – which you know I liked!
I also made the oats with leftover coconut milk, but sadly, I didn’t remember this until I started blogging so it wasn’t a noticeable difference.
The Mix
- 1/3 cup muesli mix (leftover from Matt’s trip)
- 3/4 cup water
- 1/2 cup coconut milk (leftover – could barely detect it 🙁 )
- 1 tbsp chia seeds
- 1 giant banana
- Pinch salt
- Sprinkle cinnamon
- Groovy Granola
- GH Preserves
- Homemade crunchy peanut butter
Not sure what the day ahead holds, although I feel like we’ve just blown through the first half of it for sleeping so late and blogging taking up the better part of the pre-noon hours!
Stacy @ Every Little Thing says
January 30, 2011 at 11:15 amThat vanilla sounds great! And I love preserves with seeds, but my bf doesn’t because they hurt his teeth! I think he has sensitive teeth though 🙂
Stacey (The Home-Cooked Vegan) says
January 30, 2011 at 11:23 amYum! Feel free to come to MY house and make oats for me anytime you wish 😉 Hehe. I didn’t wake up until 10:30 this morning! It’s almost noon and I’m still in my pj’s, which is a shame because it’s a beautiful day outside!
Hope you guys have a nice Sunday 😀
Emily says
January 30, 2011 at 11:26 amWelcome back to KERFland Matt!! Glad you both celebrated with KERF oats 🙂 Enjoy the day!
Kristen @ Kristen, Sweetly says
January 30, 2011 at 11:32 amA big welcome home to Matt! Your fabulous breakfast spread looks like the perfect thing to come home to. 🙂
Laura says
January 30, 2011 at 11:38 amYou’re oatmeals all sound so yummy. With one exception…that bananas….I’m assuming that they are used to add flavor and substance….but I’m allergic to the things 🙁 Sad…cause I used to love them. Is there a way to substitute them with something else or is it cool to leave it out altogether??
KathEats says
January 30, 2011 at 11:39 amPumpkin or applesauce work well
Laura says
February 1, 2011 at 9:58 amThanks….now I will have to snag some of your recipies and try them out.
Gabriela @ Une Vie Saine says
January 30, 2011 at 11:39 amI agree that coconut milk doesn’t make much of a difference in oats! If you really want a coconutty flavor though, I’ve made oats with 1/2 c water and 1/2 c coconut milk kefir. It’s sooo good.
Raya says
January 30, 2011 at 11:39 amMarshmallow? I’m in!
rebecca lustig says
January 30, 2011 at 11:40 amthere’s nothing worse than stale/soft granola! (in my opinion)
kate says
January 30, 2011 at 11:41 amMarshmallowy vanilla sounds incredibly good! Welcome back Matt!
jen @ taste life says
January 30, 2011 at 11:49 amYay for Matt’s return!
Natalia - a side of simple says
January 30, 2011 at 11:50 amI can’t think of a better way for Matt to return to you than with a lazy Sunday morning and a hearty bowl of KERF oats. Oh, maybe an afternoon brew to top it off? I think so 😉
KathEats says
January 30, 2011 at 11:54 amHaha. Indeed!
Matt says
January 30, 2011 at 12:39 pmThat’s coming in a couple days!

Alaina says
January 30, 2011 at 12:00 pmYah, Matt’s home! Hope he had a good rest of his training. 🙂
I can see why he requested the oats when he got home; they look delicious!
Emily @ Savory and Savage says
January 30, 2011 at 12:02 pmA big bowl of steamy oaty goodness? The perfect way to say Welcome Home!!
Maddie (Healthy Maddie) says
January 30, 2011 at 12:05 pmMatt was probably glad to come home to a delicious bowl of oats!

After all you two have done the past few weeks, it’s okay to have a slow day! Put aside the to-do lists and daily agenda to enjoy a day of just being home and being together. You’ve both certainly earned it! I hope your day is filled with ‘Hey! Want to. . . ” and not “Hey, we need to…” 🙂
KathEats says
January 30, 2011 at 12:31 pmThanks for the reminder 🙂
Kiran says
January 30, 2011 at 1:19 pmAgreed with Nancy 110%.. And welcome home Matt 🙂
Dorry says
January 30, 2011 at 12:11 pmGlad y’all are back under one roof! There’s nothing better than breakfast in your own kitchen after you’ve been away from home. Enjoy your afternoon!
Alexa @ Simple Eats says
January 30, 2011 at 12:16 pmI always ALWAYS want oatmeal when I see KERF oatmeal. Come to Boston and make me a batch? Thank you very much 🙂
Kara says
January 30, 2011 at 12:21 pmSleeping in until 9am sounds fantastic…I’d settle for sleeping in until 6am! Babies love early mornings! I need someone to make me such great looking oatmeal too 🙂
Katy (The Singing Runner) says

Katelyn @ Chef Katelyn says
January 30, 2011 at 12:26 pmYummy! I wish muesli was gluten free so I could try it but unforch I can’t find any that is! Happy Sunday, Kath!
Katherine: Unemployed says
January 30, 2011 at 12:29 pmdo you still have the buddah bowl? I haven’t seen those lately and used to be obsessed with wanting one
KathEats says
January 30, 2011 at 12:33 pmYeah! I used the Ramen bowl just this week (the green one).
Amanda (The Nutritionist Reviews) says

Michelle (The Runner's Plate) says
January 30, 2011 at 12:33 pmIt is so nice to sleep in sometimes, but it does make the morning disappear.

KathEats says
January 30, 2011 at 1:32 pmIt was a gift from the GH partners room!
Sarah (Running to Slow Things Down) says
January 30, 2011 at 1:39 pmWhat a fabulous bowl of oats! Glad you guys have the rest of the afternoon to just unwind and enjoy the day. Those are so very needed now and again. 😀
Kristen @ That Hoosier Girl says
January 30, 2011 at 1:48 pmWhat a great lookin’ bowl o’ oats! I had something similar this morning with homemade blackberry jam (homemade by my cousin, not me – I wish I had half of her hiddent talents). Amazing! 🙂
Liz @ Tip Top Shape says
January 30, 2011 at 1:52 pmAll your pictures really make me want it to be breakfast again!!! Those oats look fantastic 😀
lauren @ spiced plate says
January 30, 2011 at 1:56 pmi love oatmeal for being so accepting of other flavors and foods. I actually love oatmeal for everything it is. We had it mixed with veggies the other night, and it was still delicious.
J3nn (Jenn's Menu and Lifestyle Blog) says
January 30, 2011 at 2:00 pmYummy, that granola looks nice and crunchy! 🙂
Mary @ Bites and Bliss says

Welcome home Matt!
Meagan says
January 30, 2011 at 2:32 pmIt must be so nice to have Matt home safe. I was flying yesterday too. I saw the numbers 12 (mine) and 26 (yours) and thought of you! All of the baggage loading equipment had numbers on it!!
