There’s really nothing more wonderful than early morning runs with friends. I enjoy them so very much!! It’s just a shame they mean finding the motivation to set the ole alarm clock and getting out of bed!
Today I met Suzanne and Faith for a 6 miler around Cville. It was totally awesome!!
Who IS this girl – I had eggs for breakfast!!
Matt was in the mood for them and I decided to join him. After my long run I wanted something hot.
1.5 scrambleds (in some butter!)
With kiwi + apple
And an Apple Crunch toast with Crofter’s
Sips
The breakfast was just what I was craving, but it did not really fill me up! I am so much more of a carbs/cereal/oatmeal [duh!] and fats (PB!) girl than protein-focused breakfast like eggs, scrambles, smoothies or meats. I might need a snack with this one!
Miss Larbs made my Baked Oatmeal Snack Bars with chocolate yesterday – look delish!
Happy Birthday to DIANA and ANNE P!!!
Peace!
Jessica @ How Sweet says
That looks like such a delicious breakfast. Something I could really go for right now!
Beth @ Beth's Journey to Thin says
I loooove eggs for breakfast. I didn’t even think about it until this post but I really never see you eat them! I love them poached or fried… yum!
Meg says
What?! No oats, no smoothie?! EGGS?! Who are you, Kath? Haha 🙂
I don’t know why, but I never get full enough with eggs either. I am definitely an oats girl as well.
Have a great day, congrats on a sweeet run with sweeeeet friends!
Meg
Natalia - a side of simple says
That breakfast looks perfect, Kath, especially after a great run. I love running in the morning and it’s always a treat to run with friends. What’s the verdict with watching GG? Do you have a tv yet?
Rachel (Two Healthy Plates) says
I love eggs for breakfast but I never have time to make them unless it’s the weekend – I’m always running late!!
Jil @ Peace, Love & Munchies says
That breakfast looks delicious – esp. the apple crunch toast. Ahh all your morning posts make me wish I had better early morning light in my apartment…I’ve got nadda. haha
Jessie says
You make me want to eat outside! I feel like I need to get a table for our porch so we can, especially with the cooler weather coming.
Sarena (The Non-Dairy Queen) says
I am with you on the carbs in the morning. I get hungry it I don’t have my oats! I think that is why I like breakfast for dinner so much! That is when I get my egg fill! Looks delicious though!
mindy @ just a one girl revolution. says
I was in a big homemade “egg mcmuffin” kick for awhile…but, like you, it isn’t enough to fill me up!
Christine says
Haha, that’s why I save eggs for dinner–especially at diners.
Hey, what can I say? I’m I Jersey girl!
Holly @ couchpotatoathlete says
I love eggs for breakfast, and you have to cook them in butter — they taste 10000000 times better that way!
Anna @ Newlywed, Newly Veg says
I rarely eat eggs, but sometimes a craving for them just HITS! Yours look delish!
shannon (the daily balance) says
eggs with buttered toast and turkey bacon is one of my favorite breakfasts!
Elizabeth says
One of the things I love most about your blogs/meals is your effort to go outside and eat. I think it makes a meal an occasion.
Mary @ Bites and Bliss says
I know what you mean- oatmeal’s the only thing that gets me going in the morning! No matter how protein packed a breakfast is- carbs are the only thing that work.
sweetersalt says
I’m more of an eggs for lunch girl. Nothing fills me up in the morning like oatmeal!
Laura
Aly says
Wow, if I jogged 6 miles I would be ravenous! lol.
That apple crunch toast looks amazing. Recipe perhaps?
Kath says
Find your nearest Great Harvest!
Chelsea at Striking Balance says
I am the same way..the breakfasts with eggs, etc always sound appealing and are supposed to be the breakfasts that keep you full. But as soon as I have them, I wish I would have had oatmeal or something along those lines!
Heather (Heather's Dish) says
eggs cooked in butter are the only way to go!
Kristy@ KristyRuns.com says
Carbs+fats all the way! I need to get more protein but it just doesn’t fill me up.
Allison K says
Sometimes some good old fashioned eggs are exactly what one needs!
Valerie @ City|Life|Eats says
I love the idea of morning workouts more than the wake up call – once I get going though, it is worth it 🙂
Emily says
Breakfast looks really good!! Isn’t it wierd how we are so loyal to certain foods (oats, nut butter, etc) for our meals. I always think eggs for breakfast sounds like a great idea and yet I always end up with a bowl of oats in some form 🙂 Way to go mixin’ it up!
Angela says
Its ashame that breakfast didn’t fill you because it sure looks good! I prefer carby breakfasts over protein too. While I love my smoothies, they don’t tend to hold me over very long.
Your so lucky to have workout buddies, having someone to run with always makes me happy!
Diana says
Yum! I LOVE eggs for breakfast!
Thanks for the b-day wishes! Wish you could be here to celebrate with me! 🙂
Michelle @ Give Me the Almond Butter says
Beautiful plating though! I’m also more of a carbs girl in the morning. Already had my WW english muffin!
Steph@stephsbitebybite says
Oatmeal is the only thing I can stay full on. I don’t know what it is about other breakfast foods, but they got nothing on the oats 🙂
Marci says
I like eggs with a thick carb like a homemade muffin or loaf. Delish!
Jasmine @ Eat Move Write says
I love eggs for breakfast! It’s one of my very favorite foods, actually, but I agree that it doesn’t fill you up like oatmeal. Oatmeals is the cat’s meow of filling foods.
Mary (What's Cookin' with Mary) says
That’s why you’ve gotta try savory oats! Best of both worlds!! 😉

Heather says
I am more of a protein person to fill me up! I also love an early morning run – clears my head to start my day!
I need to get my hand on some kiwis – yours always look so good!
Lauren at KeepItSweet says
eggs sound so good now!
Camille says
I’m with you… I definitely need lots of carbs to fuel my AM!
Anne says
I’m actually an egg person when it comes to breakfast. I actually have to restrain myself to one a day and not every day because otherwise I would go through 14 eggs in a week just for breakfast for me. I’ve always felt that if I have oatmeal I’m hungry right after.
Estela @ Weekly Bite says
I love going for morning runs! Especially in this weather!
Mary (What's Cookin' with Mary) says
Must say Kath, your oats always look divine, but your breakfast this morning is right up my alley! Glad you had a nice run 🙂 I’m fixin’ to get ready for my 10am spin class WAHOO! 😀 Is it weird that I get excited everytime ? lol.
jaclyn@todays lady says
Ummmm where are your morning oats?! Just kidding, its nice to change things up once in awhile. It makes you appreciate oats all the more 🙂
Jaclyn says
Agreed on the whole AM carbs thing– although, when do I/you/everyone NOT like carbs and PB?! 😉
lynn (The Actors Diet) says
i need to get some square plates – the presentation is so beautiful!
Ali says
Hey Kath! What type of camera do you use? Your pictures are always so pretty! I think your camera info used to be on you site, but I can’t seem to find it now. Thanks!
Kath says
A Canon XSI DSLR. I use the stock lens and a 50 mm lens
Tami Jo Eaton says
I was wondering the same, but you must not have it on automatic, do you play with the aperature? You are able to blurr far away objects. Your pictures are awesome! I don’t always comment, but I read your blog daily and look forward to seeing what you are up to. It’s funny, everyone thinks California is the place to be and I live in California and I am jealous of your East coast. Living in a quaint little town where you can bicycle/walk/run where you need to go. I even tried to find the pumpkin ale and I can’t get it here.
Kath says
Definitely change all the settings!
Katie says
I’m all about the eggs for breakfast…and dinner and lunch. I eat eggs a lto.
faith @ gracefulfitness says
Next time let’s take the pic BEFORE running :).
No, seriously, I should look much fresher than that at 8am!
Kath says
Ha – you look great!
chelsey @ clean eating chelsey says
I’m also a carbs & fat kind of girl in the morning! Protein just doesn’t do it for me!!
Jessica @ The Process of Healing says
Egg breakfasts like that never hold me over either…
Gabriela @ Une Vie Saine says
I’m the same as you- all I want in the morning are carbs!! Protein doesn’t do much for me. Eggs have always kind of grossed me out anyways, so I guess it’s a good thing I’m a carb girl!
Alyssa says
I’m right there with you! Give me my oats!!! 🙂
Suzanne C. says
Thanks to you, I had thoughts of getting a driod phone all through the career fair, wanting to check my email all day!! Quick, I need to return to my desk job!
Thanks for the run this morning, it was so great to have running buddies!
Kath says
Haha – that would be the perfect time!!
Samantha says
So tell us..did this breakfast satisfy? It looked like plenty of food. I just wonder if it didn’t satisfy you in the mouth and that’s why you still felt hungry. Especially in this jean weather..maybe you needed your morning cozy comfort food.
Kath says
It satisfied my cravings, but it left me feeling just a TINY bit hungry all morning. I did make it from 8:30 to 12:30 without feeling like I needed to EAT. But I was hungry for lunch when we sat down to eat!
Anne P says
Thanks for the birthday wishes my dear!! 🙂
Chelsea @ One Healthy Munchkin says
I never have eggs for breakfast either. They just don’t satisfy my raging sweet tooth that pops up in the mornings!
Lauren says
As good as this breakfast looks, I’m with you. Give me my carbs in the morning and I like to save the eggs for dinner. 🙂
stacey-healthylife says
I think that breakfast looks colorful and delicious.
Hannah says
Sometimes you’ve just gotta shake things up so you can reinforce what you really like! That’s like me with milk chocolate. I’ll have it every now and again just to remind myself that, yep, I really do love the dark side better 😉
rebecca lustig says
loving the display of your breakfast. reminds me of top chef style 😉
tcmjem says
Looks delicious! But, do you really eat the kiwi skin? Or just bite around it – kind of like orange wheels?
Sarah says
Kath – mentioning this because I know you have had similar problems yesterday, and I think you’d like to know. 24 hours later, this is still the latest post showing for me both in my Reader, and even here on the site. Yes, I have cleared the cache, btw.
I realise different people are seeing different posts, and that it must be a server issue. I am in Europe, btw.
Good luck with the tech stuff, ugh, what a pain.
Kath says
Thanks Sarah. I have no idea what could be wrong 🙁
mariaeatsbeets says
HELP! I think I lost my Healthy Living Summit T-shirt on the way home from Chicago. I did’nt even get to wear it once 🙁 Where can I get a new one!
