Mornin’!
I’ve had a delicious day so far!
Great Harvest Morning Glory Muffin
+
Trader Joe’s PB restocked! And Polly’s PB stirrer! (I don’t know where she got it, but it’s awesome for new jars)
Mara‘s Peruvian coffee!
+ Gossip Girl Season 1 Finale
= utter bliss!!
Oatmeal contained:
- 1/3 cup oats, 1/3 cup vanilla soy milk, 1/3 cup water
- Pinch salt, splash vanilla, 1/2 banana
- 1 tbsp chia seeds
- Morning Glory muffin
- TJ’s Salty Peanuts
- TJ’s crunchy PB
Sadly I could only eat about 75% of this. I just got too full. I could have easily stuffed down the rest, but I made a point not to out of intuitive eating practice.
French press froth. I read the other day that the grounds produce little bubbles that creates the froth:

That’s the magic of French press.
Coffee makes me full, which is one reason why I love it.
Today’s agenda is wide open. I do have some work to do, but it can wait, so there’s no urgency. I was thinking about going to a hot yoga class at a new studio, but for the sake of saving ~40 minutes of commuting time, I’m reconsidering to a podcast in my living room. I NEED yoga today after 2 days of hard exercise and some tense shoulders.
See y’all for lunch!

I have the same PB stirrer and I love it! I got it here: http://witmerproducts.com/pbutter.html
MarathonVal says
You always rave so much about your French press…. I recently switched from instant (awful, I know, I’m sure you are cringing!) to making it in a coffee maker but I’m wondering what the difference is between that, and the french press?
You make it sound SO wonderful than I’m wondering if I should give it a shot 🙂
Susan says
I STILL have to try crumbling a muffin on my oatmeal. I’ve got to get on that!! Coffee fills me up too, except I can’t drink it with a hot bowl of oats or else I break into a sweat 😛 So it’s always my “breakfast dessert” 😉 Enjoy your Sunday!
Heather @ Health, Happiness, and Hope says
I love how thick that oatmeal is! Looks so good! Have a great Sunday and enjoy your yoga. 🙂
Biz319 says
I miss my Great Harvest! There is not one decent bread store near me!
Glad you can have a relaxed day today! 😀
Angela (Run Study Eat) says
I need to get a french press!
Jenn Eats Nutritiously Now says
I need one of those PB stirrers!
eliza says

Evan Thomas says
I’ve been telling my parents we need a pb stirrer and they’ve been looking at me like i’m crazy wondering what a pb stirrer is
Michele | aka Raw Juice Girl says
Yum, that does look like a delicious morning!
I haven’t eaten yet — but I did do my hour of yoga, so I’m off to find something to eat…

Allie (Live Laugh Eat) says
I need one of those stirrers! I keep having to delve through the oily top and I always end up with some running nut butter on my plate.
I used a French press when I was working in London and I loved it…I may have to invest in one for the sake of frothiness and the environment!
MelissaNibbles says
Your oatmeal looks amazing! Enjoy your yoga.
Christie @ Quit Your Diet says
I am considering getting a french press, it always looks so good when you make it!
Mara @ What's for Dinner? says
SO glad you liked the coffee! I love French press coffee… but i’m far too lazy to actually use mine!
Marisa (Trim The Fat) says
Yum, that bowl of oats looks so delish!
I love coffee but, sadly had to give it up b/c of the acid. I thankfully, have found a great replacement (an herbal coffee alternative), but I miss the caffeine boost!
Emily says
Thanks for the congrats Kath!
Your breakfast looks delicious. What a wonderful and relaxing way to begin the morning. I also did yoga at home last night, and it was really refreshing.
Hope you enjoy the day!
Lizzy says
mmm french press coffee!!!! delish. as i’m typing i’m drinkin my cup too!!!
kay (eating machine) says
mmm some saltiness in oats sounds good!
Elizabeth (The Dallas Celiac) says
I believe Caffeine is a appetite suppressant which is why it in combination with a good breakfast can make and keep you full. Coffee is so good for so many reasons!
The muffin looks delicious.
Lyn says
That looks really good. Please clone yourself and send her over to make my meals for me!
Marina says
Your coffee looks amazing! I don’t understand how that french press thingy works. I’ve never seen it before, only in the blog world
Emily, homecookedem says
Delicious looking oatmeal!! That muffin looks so moist and yummy! 🙂
Cait (Cait's Plate) says
Oh my gosh that bowl of oats looks too good! I definitely would’ve had trouble adhering to intuitive eating with that baby in front of me!
Guess what I just got at the grocery store – Leinenkugals! They were on sale. It’s the Oktoberfest brew…any good? I’ve never had it…
Enjoy the rest of your Sunday. Yoga’s on the agenda for me today too 🙂
Deva (Voracious Vorilee) says
Your oats look so good! 🙂 I love french press coffee – I had a coffee maker in college, but rarely used it. When i got the French Press? Started drinking one cuppa tasty coffee every morning. 🙂

What a tasty brek! Yoga sounds like a great idea today after a few days of running for myself as well.
Rebecca says
I had a muffin and oatmeal this morning for breakfast too!
Shannon, The Healthy Beach Bum says

Yummy looking muffin. I had a wintry oatmeal brekkie this morning, it was chilly!
Devan Newman says

Pam says
Bravo for your breakfast…yum!
lynn (The Actors Diet) says

Jenna says
Talk about heaven in a bowl 🙂
Lady of leisure it sounds like this morning. You deserve it.
I’m trying yoga for the first time today, yikes! I hope it goes well… haha
Julie says
Why do you always put a pinch of sal in your oats? I notice other bloggers sometimes do it too. It it for taste, or cooking purposes?
Hallie (Healthy Twists) says
I love the full feeling coffee gives you! I’m on green tea these days and it’s just NOT the same. Gimme my COFFEE back 🙂
brandi says
i need one of those pb stirrers – this one jar I have is ridiculous to get the oil stirred in!
Katharina says
Wow! Breakfast definitely looks delicious – a wonderful Sunday!
Jen C. says
Hey Kath! Quick question – maybe you’ve mentioned this before, but if so, I missed it – where did you get your french press? I am hoping to buy one soon and you seem pretty happy with yours. Thanks!! 🙂
Deanna says
Hi – long time reader, first time commenter… so exciting!!! Actually I would always stare at your food saying it looks great, but I could never eat that, but now that I am into a much more clean and healthy living – especially when it comes to my food – I want to explore!! Can you do this oatmeal without the soy milk?
Jill says
French Press coffee really is the only way to go. It is the easiest/most yummy way to brew a fresh cup of joe! I have the small size for one person since my hubby does not drink coffee–it is the perfect size.
I love your posts of farmer market/grocery finds. 🙂
I have been thinkin’ about joining Costco to score some good deals on the bulk food too. Now that my parents live to far away to mooch off their membership! A big commitment 🙂
Keep up the good blog work!
Lainie says
I really, really want that nut butter stirrer! If you figure out where it came from, please post it!
Haleigh says
Enjoy yoga! I make sure to get in a little every day.. makes my body so much happier 🙂
Meredith (Pursuing Balance) says
I was just telling someone about that PB stirrer yesterday!
Sarah says
that coffee looks delicious!
Kath says
MarathonVal,
I mean, I love French press, but if you have a drip maker that you love, there’s not really a reason to totally convert. When our carafe broke for the second time, I converted and probably won’t buy another maker. It is more hands on, but I do think the flavor is awesome.
Marina,
The grounds steep like tea and then you press them out just like removing a tea bag when the tea is dark enough.
Cait (Cait’s Plate),
Never had the OKT but I bet it’s good!!
Julie,
It’s for flavor. Subtle salt makes sweet taste more savory and full.
Jen C.,
I got it from Karen, who didn’t want it. But you can get them all over the place. Starbucks, Target, BB&B. Mine is Bodum, which seems to be the biggest company that makes them. The only real important factor is how many cups it makes. Ours makes 3, which is really 1 cup or 1.5 or 1 big mug, so we want an 8 cup one which would be idea for weekends when we’re both home.
Deanna,
Welcome!! Yes, you can make it with any kind of milk you please. I think oatmeal is better with half milk, half water, but you can certainly make it with all water.
Lainie,
I said in the post I don’t know where she got it, but someone posted a link above.

Kristie says
“Coffee makes me full, which is one reason why I love it.”
Most definitely! It always helps to fill up that extra little void I have some mornings when I still want to dig around for more food even though I’ve had a plenty adequate breakfast.
Mmmmm coffee.
May Ann says
Kath,
I’ve started intuitive eating. Would you share how long you’ve been eating this way and how you started?
Thank you!
May Ann
Kath says
May Ann,
I read the book this spring and have just been working at listening to my hunger and fullness cues more than ever. I’m not sure I follow the concept 100%, but I’m always working on it.

Jenna says
yummy breakky!
Chrissie C says
Hi Kath! Love your website. Can I ask how you prepare your oatmeal? Yours always look so creamy and I can never get mine to look like yours. Do you mix everything in a pot and cook it on the stove? Or heat the water and milk seperately? Would love some advice! Thanks!
Kath says
Chrissie C,

Maria says
Hi Kath! I was wondering where you buy your chia seeds. I’ve been looking at my local grocery stores, including Whole Foods, and I’m having a heck of a time tracking them down. They look so yummy in your breakfast concoctions! Thanks for all the wonderful reading.
Quisha says
i haven’t bought a coffee press yet but i really need one. it just seems fresh and quick! especially the peruvian coffee. one of my faves!
Kath says
Maria ,
Mine were a gift from Navitas Naturals, but I found one place in Charlotte that sells them. A small natural store. You can also get them online, like at Navitas!
