Dream Morning

This morning was one of those ideal dream mornings that we all wish would happen every day. I woke up in fresh, clean, white sheets to birds chirping and sunshine coming in my window. I did 20 minutes of yoga and came down to have breakfast on the patio. I am soaking it in while it lasts! Soon enough I’ll be at my summer internship, then back in school and stressed, then completing my 40-hour-a-week dietetic internship and then who knows. My goal in life is to make my career accommodating to these type of pleasurable mornings.

Today’s oatmeal was, of course, delicious.

The mix:

  • 1/3 cup oats, 1/3 cup soy milk, 1/3 cup water
  • Pinch salt
  • Half banana
  • 1 tbsp dried raspberries
  • Splash vanilla
  • Few tbsp Kelsey’s granola
  • 1/3 cup blueberries, stirred in at end so as not to water down oats but still heat up
  • Spoonful Maranatha AB

Plus a cup of Novus jasmine green tea from Mara.

The bugs kept at bay and we were able to dine together outdoors

Breathe!

I was thrilled to write the feature article for Breathe Magazine’s summer issue! It looks so professional – I can’t believe it’s my writing and photos. The free magazine is distributed throughout the Southeast and Midatlantic states. See if you can find one! I’ll be writing some blog posts for them as well 🙂

And here’s more KERFness over at Gather – A Taste Of Decadence.

I’m off to mow our 2 foot tall grass. Then perhaps bike to Trader Joe’s for a secret ingredient that Kelsey and I are putting into dinner 🙂

Have a beautiful day

this !

    Sounds like a wonderful morning and one that shouldn’t have to be restricted to weekends or vacations! I would LOVE to someday be able to have those mornings all the time. Enjoy them!

    Also, I LOVE your oatmeal bowl – where did you find it?

    OMG OMG OMG OMG I loved your Gather article, Kath!! It was perfecto. And oh-so-true. I find the more I stay away from things, the less I want them! And I never, ever, ever, just eat “half a dessert,” a “square” of chocolate, or “1/2 tsp” of peanut butter. It’s easier for me to just avoid my trigger foods than to have a “just a taste” regularly. Bravo!

    A bit unrelated to this post…but, I wanted to let you know I think the pimento cheese spread you featured here a couple of months ago is amazing. My husband loves it too. I made it for dinner last night melted on whole grain bread with a side of tomatoes, basil, salt, pepper and a drizzle of olive oil. Delish! 🙂 Thanks for the recipe!

    I’m assuming your dried raspberries are unsweetened? I have the hardest time finding unsweetened dried fruit around here – all I can find is apricots!
