The Dog Days of Summer are upon us. What day of the week is it?!
We slept late this morning and filled our bowls with oatmeal.
Bananaless oatmeal 🙁 Everytime I make oats without a banana, I am shocked by the texture difference. Even with tons of chia seeds!
The oat mix for one included:
- 1/3 cup oats
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/3 cup milk
- 1 tbsp raisins
- 1 tbsp chia seeds
- 1/2 a plum, stirred in near end
- Peanut butter pretzel crumbles ( <– have been dreaming about this for 2 weeks now)
- Coconut butter blob
- Bella Eats jam blob
- Sunflower butter blob
Brew Ridge Music Festival hot coffee – mm!
Happy Sunday?

Happy Sunday? For me this is Lazy-stay-in-bed-all-day-because-I-am-super-tired Sunday.
Enjoy your day Kath!
Meg says
I feel the same way about my oatmeal – just not the same without banana. You’ve gotta stock up 😀 Hopefully the peanut butter pretzels made up for it? 😉
Enjoy your Sunday, Kath!
Freya @ Brit Chick Runs says
VERY happy Sunday!! I jsut ran 13miles and feel ACE, and now I’m eating a cinnamon raisin swirl PB English muffin – dreamy 😀 I hope yours is good!
Madeline - Greens and Jeans says
Bananas really are the key to stellar oatmeal!
Angie says
Beautiful breakfast, Kath! Your oatmeal recipe rocks….I never knew oats could be so good!
Have a great “Sunday”!
Sarena (The Non-Dairy Queen) says
We slept until almost 9am this morning and it felt great! I hope you have a great day!
Kristy @ KristyRuns.com says
I’ve never had my oats without a banana, and I hope I never find out what it’s like without one! 😉 Yay for Sundays!
Wei-Wei says
Loving your toenails. And oatmeal is just different without banana… I like really thick oats. 😀 Happy Sunday! I’m just about to go to bed 😉
barefootgirl says
I’ve just recently found your blog & love it! Good stuff! You & your hubby are downright adorable 🙂 Happy Sunday!
Britt says
I hate oats without banana 🙁
Strange question, I just used my brand new camel pack for this first & it didn’t come with cleaning instructions…how do you go about cleaning yours?
Kath says
I just flush it well with water after use. If it’s really dirty I would use dishsoap in the same fashion.
Michelle @ Give Me the Almond Butter says
Happy Sunday Kath. I hope you have a relaxing Sunday.

Enjoy a lazy summer Sunday.
Angela (ohsheglows) says
hehe I love how thick and crunchy the grass is in the South!
Sarah @ SeaEatsArt says
Happy Sunday to you too! I hope you enjoy the day!!
Callie says
Happy Sunday! 🙂
I never have oats without banana. They just seem so bland without.
faith @ gracefulfitness says
Happy Sunday indeed! Nice work on the oatmeal toppings!
Amanda (The Nutritionist Reviews) says
That’s funny that you say about it not having a banana. I have never even tried a banana in my oats and I eat it almost everyday. Does it make it creamier or what?
Jenn (Jenn's Menu and Lifestyle Blog) says
Rainy, sleepy Sunday here in upstate, NY!! I like rainy summer days, though. 🙂

Gabriela @ Une Vie Saine says
I rarely make oats without a banana either. They’ make them so much creamier! Happy Sunday!
Estela @ Weekly Bite says
Lazy Sundays are the best! Enjoy!
Caitlyn @ A Spoonful of Life says
I always go through banana-withdrawal if I don’t have at least one banana a day. But, it makes the next banana I eat even more satisfying!
Angela @ Eat Spin Run Repeat says
I LOVE Sundays! Your breakfast looks absolutely delicious. I’ve never actually tried oatmeal WITH bananas (I know, probably a shocker!) but your comment about the texture has got me curious now! 🙂
Britta says
Bellissimo 🙂
Elle (A Galley Slave) says
That coconut butter blob looks very inviting. Going to have to try that.
Liza @ Health Nutting says
Once I learned from you about whipped banana oatmeal, I can never return! It’s just not the same 🙂 hehe
Sarah @ Sarah's Shaping Up says
Very happy Sunday! 🙂 the sun is shining for the first time in what feels like days here in southwestern VA! 🙂
Camille says
Banana oats can’t be beat!
Nancy @ The Wife of a Dairyman says
Hate it when I’m out of bananas! I usually try to slice some up and store them in the freezer for smoothies and such but hate it when those run out as well:) Have a fabulous day!
Ashley says
I haaate bananaless oatmeal!!! 🙂
Marina says
I don’t like bananaless oats 🙁
Unfortunately, not very happy Sunday 🙁
I just hope tomorrow we’ll be better.
I hope you’re enjoying yours 😉
kate says
I love sleepy Sundays & bananaless oatmeal!
A Teenage Gourmet says
I like your new layout, espcially the “Catching Up On Posts?” That’s exactly what I’m doing right now!
[email protected] says
I agree with you about the oats. The taste and texture is so much better with the addition of banana!
Vivi says
cute pedicure!
Chelsey says
ooo i would never EVER do bananaless oatmeal. the bananas totally make it!!!
Kim says
Your oats always look amazing!! I found your blog relatively recently and your posts are both entertaining and inspiring!
Nicole - yuppie yogini says
Do you mind sharing what camera you used last night at the festival? I know that the camera is only part of the equation with the other being your photography skills. Those pictures are unreal!!
Kath says
Thanks!
It’s a Canon DSLR XSI but the money shot is the Canon 50 mm 1.8 lens.
Lauren @ 40Apples says
Banana-less oats… ahh I know the feeling! So NOT the same :-\
Your pics of the fest were pretty amazing – looked like such fun!
lynn (The Actors Diet) says
oats without bananas are like a night without stars
Jill says
What kind of sunflower butter are you using? Today’s breakfast, as usual, looks amazing! I’m so sad Summer is almost over, but I’m enjoying this lazy summer Sunday while I can. Have a great day, Kath!
Kath says
Trader Joe’s
Hannah says
Peanut butter pretzel crumbs… be still my beating heart. Maybe that helped you forget about the lack of bananarama?
