Man was Gossip Girl good!!! It always leaves me wanting to dress up and drink some champagne. At the very least I painted my nails a sparkling teal [the color of this placemat!] last night
Welcome back CHIA SEEDS! I have been out for weeks (months?!) and just replenished. They really make oatmeal complete.

- Homemade crunchy peanut butter!
Speaking of martinis, my Easy Brie-zy Mac ’n Cheese Parfaits are live on the 30 Days, 30 Ways with Macaroni & Cheese Blog!
Boy was that a good casserole!
Have a fantastic day!
Looks like the sun is shining there–jealous!!
Haha…I love it that there is a blog devoted solely to macaroni and cheese!
Yuummm Brie! I did something fantastic with Brie last night too. You should show off your nails on the blog. I always neglect mine so I make sure to get a shot of them for the blog so I can feel good about taking the time to do them, even though I will inevitably screw them up in a day or two.
The mac and cheese parfaits are so cute!
Oh, I haven’t watched last night’s episode yet! Now I’m excited for what’s in store.
I love all of the colors in your dishes/mug/placemat! I am a sucker for green, blue and brown. Going to make some oats right now!
Can’t wait to read about the mac and cheese parfaits! They look great
So excited for Gossip Girl! I dvred it last night because I was watching the Bachelor. So I am definitely watching it tonight! I can’t wait! Love the mac and cheeese parfaits! Once again, cute placemats and mugs!! 🙂
Love the name of your mac and cheese! I am caught up on netflix through season 3 of Gossip Girl and really want to watch season 4, but I can’t find the first 6 episodes to watch online! It’s killing me that I can’t be in on the action and see what’s happening!
Oh gosh, I remember those days. THE SUSPENSE!! Watching the season straight through was one of the highlights of my life.
Yes-Gossip Girl was awesome!!! I don’t know about you-but I am sort of liking the Dan/Blair thing they are setting up. When it comes down to it, I’m a total Chuck/Blair fan, but I think Dair has some crazy chemistry. Can’t wait to see where they go with that!!
I definitely think something happened over break..
The whole Dan/Blair thing is driving me LOCO. And not in a good way.
Dan/Blair?!!!! Now, that is a terrible idea!! Everyone on that show ends up sleeping with each other.
*SOB*
I still want Blair to get back together with Chuck. They make such a cute couple 🙂
Your oats always look so amazing. It’s true…chia seeds really do make the oats! They’re perfect in most everything to thicken a dish up.
That green mug with the spoon rests is adorable!
I love that placemat Kath! Where is it from? Oats look gorgeous too, as always!
That would be Crate + Barrel, per usual 🙂
I love Gossip Girl, so a fun show! I can’t remember the last time I painted my nails, it always seems like they chip almost immediately.
Mac and cheese parfaits? Those are adorable. You could host a party yourself with those! GG themed, perhaps?
Love the parfait idea! I’m also in love with any blue or green nail polish. My nails are bare and now I’m craving some bright blues! 🙂
I still haven’t tried chia seeds, but I really want to. I need to get my hands on some soon! Have a great day Kath!
right now my fav color is definitely that teal! I have a old-timey baker’s cupboard that’s painted that color and it totally has brightened my winter days 🙂 As for the chias….I agree, oatmeal is incomplete without them!
love,
cathy b.
The parfaits are adorable 🙂
I’ve never watched Gossip Girl. What am I missing out on?!
Everything. Seriously, Netflix and watch from the beginning!
I love wheatberries, but I’ve never put them in oats. It might be worth trying. People seem to really like it.
I hear you on the lack of chia seeds in the house — I’ve been out for a while and I’ve been using ground flaxseed instead — it just isn’t the same!
I’m checking out your mac and cheese right now. Yum!
That is how I feel when I watch that show too 🙂 I’m thinking some sparkle polish would do me good too!
kath you just made my day! i was riding to work on the metro this morning thinking i should incorporate some leftover chicken, spinach and brie with some angel hair tonight. and now i have a recipe to try, thanks! i’ll let you know how it turns out, i just love mac and cheese.
Thanks to you I am now a chia seed lover as well! They are great. Cute parfait idea!
I would’ve never thought to use martini glasses like that! I don’t have any, but we do have the fancy water glasses that NEVER get used. Maybe some yogurt/granola/fruit mixture is headed there way…
Jessica
I have a big bag full of wheatberries in the freezer that I need to cook up to add to my breakfast. I haven’t had them in so long!
I love the parfaits! Cute and yummy!
Mac and cheese parfait?! Oh my word I just died and went to heaven!
those mac n’ cheese parfaits look sooo bomb!!!!
I love getting dressed up and sparkly. 🙂 I think the nail painting is a good idea.
Your mac and cheese looks good! I have never tried Chia Seeds, got to put that on my to do list 🙂
I want mac and cheese parfaits – those look so good!
laura
anything with brie and i am so there!
brieeeee im drooling now
I don’t watch Gossip Girl anymore, but it always used to make me wish I was more sophisticated 🙂
i stopped watching GG a while ago but i saw from friends’ twitter/facebook that something happened with Blair and Dan?!? OMG
That’s one of the things I LOOVE about being a girl… being able to dress up and get so pretty! Make up can be fun, too!
Cute parfaits! I would be the person to break the glass while eating…I just know it!
I’ve never watched gossip girl, but keep thinking I need to check it out. Will Matt ever watch with you?
The mac&cheese looks fabulous. I love anything cheesy 🙂
No, he HATES it!!
Love the mac & cheese idea!
Looks delicious! 😀
So happy Gossip Girl is back!! Too bad I have to wait till Monday 🙁 Those oats looks spectacular!
Adore that turquoise placemat! I’ve been watching Gossip Girl since the first season, it’s so addicting!
I just love chia seeds so much… and your green mug/bowl is adorable.
I’m with you on the chia seeds – my oats feel incomplete without them now!
Gossip Girl, makes me want to dress up and drink champagne too!
Inspired, I wore a blazer to work today! Not quite GG material, yet!
I completely forgot GG was coming back last night! Hm… paper due in a few hours or GG episode? I think we know how this is going to end… 😉
Martini glasses are so cute with food in them 😛
Those mac ‘n’ cheese parfaits are lovely! They look so elegant 🙂 What a great way to dress up simple comfort food!
There is something so fancy about eating mac and cheese as a parfait in a martini glass! Love it!
Ooo I want to see the nails!
Boy, that’s what I call a ROCKING bowl of oats, hehe 🙂 Ever tried grounding up your wheatberries into meal and cooking instead of your usual oats? So yummy and creamy. Yesterday I did creamy barley porridge!
I’m going to watch last night’s episode tonight! I can’t wait!
AAAH! Was there a new Gossip Girl last night? I’m in Australia so we don’t have it up to date… might have to scour the internet for it…
That is definitely one of my favorite bowls of yours!
I need to try chia seeds!
I love chia seeds in my oatmeal too! I recently read that for the nutritional benefits, they need to be first soaked awhile in water to make a gel prior to cooking/eating. Do you know anything about this?
No, I’ve never read that they HAVE to be soaked. But they are fun when soaked and gel up and that might make them more effective at hydrating.
AAAH! Was there a new Gossip Girl last night? I’m in Australia so we don’t have it up to date… might have to scour the internet for it…
I agree!! I was out of chia seeds for a couple weeks and it just did not taste the same…. Glad you (and I, both!) replenished and our oatmeals can be complete 🙂
