I slept better last night but still not well. I woke up in a fog – literally 🙂
That one icky forecast.
But made a nice atmosphere for oats!
- 1/2 cup oats, 1/2 cup water, 1/2 cup soy milk, pinch salt, half banana
- 1 dried fig + 1 date
- 1/2 tbsp flax
- 1/2 Quaker Simple Harvest Dark Chocolate Chunk bar, crumbled
- Cacao Nibs
- Spoonful Barney Butter
Dee-lish.
+ Half Caf coffee made with Marley Coffee Decaf and Sea Island Coffee regular.
I’ve got a busy few days coming up.
- TODAY: Workout + Lunch + STUDY + Test in Community + THE OFFICE!!!
- FRIDAY: Make video for new project + caffeine research + laid back night
- SAT: OPEN but filling up! Double-booked in the evening
- SUN: Make video for caffeine project with partner in AM + study for R.D. practice test + commute to Winthrop + take R.D. practice test for internship entry
- MON: Early AM internship interviews (meet and greet since I am already accepted!) + study all day for Metabolism test
- TUES: Study all day
- WED: Meet friends to study + Metabolism test
So basically I can relax again next Thursday.
Hop to it!

Looks like a perfect day for oatmeal!
tina says

CaSaundra says
I am actually somewhat looking forward to the cooler mornings—time to bring out the yummy hot chocolate&oats of course 🙂
Pam says
Just remember to breathe Kath!
Have fun!
Madeline @ Greens and Jeans says
You know you have lived in Phoenix too long when you are actually jealous of the fog…
Shannon (The Daily Balance) says
At least you had your cheerful bowl to add some color!
Good luck cranking out that list — I’m with ya on the busy-factor! Hang in there 😉
Karissa says
I love that bowl! Is it part of a set? Where did you get it/them?
Courtney says
Ooooh…I love spooky foggy mornings!! We get good fog out in the country where I live!

Jessica @ How Sweet It Is says
Busy week ahead! Foggy mornings remind me of Halloween. Kath, you use a french press, right? Do you like it better than a regular coffee pot? I am not too familar with them!
brandi says
yuck, our forecast looks like just yours!
i hope you get everything done today! I love that bowl.
Maggie says
I love planning! It makes me get so much more done 🙂 Good luck with your list.
Julie says
I LOVE that bowl!!! So super cute! 🙂 I have to eat most of my meals out of Tupperware at work… not so cute.
Leianna says
Wow such a busy girl, but so organized! Love the great pictures!
kay (eating machine) says
it’s super foggy here too-i know because the gmail background shwos it 🙂
you’re a busy lady!
Elizabeth says
Oh Kath, you’re so lucky to get to take a practice RD exam!! I’m being serious. They’re horrible tests, totally weird and random questions covering a huge knowledge base, but at least if you’ve taken a practice exam before you’ll have a better idea of what to expect when the time comes to take it for real!
None of the interns in my program, myself included, had such an opportunity, and I know it would’ve SERIOUSLY decreased our test anxiety!
Best of luck!
Kate says
Good luck with your long week ahead! Sounds like it’s got some pretty fun stuff in there.
Fog + Fall = Time for Oats!
Heather says
We woke up to a foggy, dreary morning here in MA as well. Good luck with all your work – sounds like you’ve got it all mapped out pretty well.
I need to try some caco nibs – I bet they would be great in oatmeal! Hopefully the sun peaks through the clouds for you.
marla says
Sorry this has prob been asked a gazillion times,
but how do you use the date and fig in oatmeal(do you cut it into tiny pieces and then add,in beg or end?
Thanks for your patience with ?’s ;)or if any longtime readers wish to answer :)) thanks too!
Deb (Smoothie Girl Eats Too) says
I am sooo addicted to Cacao nibs. They are such a great topping on anything- such a wonderful crunch! A bit bitter, but I still love them. Often when i have a chocolate smoothie, I’ll put cacao nibs in at the end for a crunch/chew…MMMMmmm!
Love the fog. Unless I’m driving in it- then I’m paralyzed with FEAR!! ;-D
Mara @ What's For Dinner? says
Good luck with getting everything done 🙂 I think you and KERF readers would love my giveaway since its $150 of cheese and kitchen gadgets! Check it out!
Holly says
ahhhhhh busy week – enjoy and remember to take some time off to relax!
Jenn (www. j3nn.net ) says
Yum, those oats looks like the perfect cloudy day wake-up food. 🙂
Busy is good! I’d rather be overwhelmed than bored lol.

BethT says
I seriously LOVE the fog (hence my love for SF!). Sun is overrated. Fog provides the perfect temps for running outside!

Busy week! Hang in there!
Warm oats on a icky day are my FAVE!

As always, your oats look amazing.
Hoorah for The Office!
Marisa (Trim The Fat) says
Weather isn’t so spectacular here either!
Love the bowl!
Good luck today!
Cynthia (It All Changes) says

SOunds like you have a ton on your plate…remember to breathe.
Kaye says

Beth @ DiningAndDishing says

Kim says
I too am jealous of your RD practice exam–I’m taking the real one tomorrow morning and would have loved extra practice during my internship. Lets just hope a few weeks of studying Inman’s will do it for me… Good luck on your practice test, I hope we both pass!
Biz says
Wow, that’s a busy schedule! Hope you can squeeze some chillaxing in before next Thursday!

Nice breakfast. And I’m soo excited for the office too!
lynn (The Actors Diet) says
it’s interesting to see you back on the school schedule again!
HeatherBakes says
Wow, busy week!!! Sometimes I miss the whole school “schedule”- but then I remember weeks like that. Sounds like you’ve got it covered, though!
Hope the weather clears up for you. It’s been raining in TX for a solid week. Yucky, but the cooler temps are nice.
Kath says
RE. bowl –
Found it at Homegoods a year ago.
Jessica,
Yes and yes! They are awesome. Caitlin (www.healthytippingpoint.com) did a video on how to use one a few weeks ago. I’m overdue for mine!
marla,
Cut in tiny pieces and add at beginning!
Megan,
How cool!!

Amari says
Walking study sessions are the best, I love taking my notecards to the treadmill with me for some movement!

Lele says
I am so glad you introduced me to the idea of figs in oats, because I made fig oats for breakfast yesterday and they rooooooooocked myyyyyyyyyyyyy woooooooooorld. You are the queen of oatmeal, for sure!
Laurel says
Hey, I know this is a new comment on an old post, but I was catching up after a big move 🙂 Also delurking, hi, I’m Laurel. Just wanted to give you a tip to help with the looming RD exam (I just took mine in August): You can check out some websites for free “question of the weeks,” I liked rdexam.com. And when the time came for a study guide/review course, I used the one on that website; it was all online and definitely simulated the exam better than some of the other review courses.
Good luck on your internship!
Kona Coffee says
Hi Kath, I know its old post but I have read your post and busy schedule. After reading your week schedule i guess you are strong determination girl and now you are well settle in your life. Best wishes. Yummy Oats are in cute bowl. Thanks for sharing.
