It’s a good ole rainy day and I’m doing my very best to soak up the coziness of home. I could see fog swirling off the mountaintops in the distance from my bedroom window!
Luckily breakfast made itself the morning
The Mix
- 1/3 cup oats
- 1 container Oikos
- 1/3 cup 2% milk
- 1 medium sliced banana
- 1 tbsp chia seeds
- Pinch kosher salt
- Nuttzo residue
- ~2 tbsp granola
- ~1 tbsp Crofter’s
You know I think I prefer overnight oats in a jar more than hot ones!? Something about the doughiness and the clumps of sticky nut butter are a better texture combination.
Grandaddy says hello and that he’s ready for Halloween!
So excited that so many of you bought KERF posters!! Please take photos of them when they arrive and send them to me so I can share how they’re being displayed
Cheers!
Anna @ Newlywed, Newly Veg says
It’s a gray day here too! I love a nice warm breakfast on a cold fall day!
Daddylonglegs have ALWAYS freaked me out!!
Anna @ Newlywed, Newly Veg says
Lol…just remembered that you didn’t have a warm breakfast at all. I guess the coffee was warm 🙂
Dorry says
That spider gives me chills! And reminds me of being a kid for some reason…I haven’t seen one in years. Knock on wood! 🙂
Jessica @ How Sweet says
I have a fear of spiders. Especially those ones!
Camille says
I just can’t get myself to try cold oats. They are the only thing that warms me in the cold mornings!
Jamie @ Food in Real Life says
That upside down is a great idea for natural nut butter!
Jamie @ Food in Real Life says
Er, upside down JAR
Holly @ couchpotatoathlete says
Ugh, I need some sort of warning when a spider is about to be on the screen!!! Daddy long legs are the least of my worries, but still — now I’ll feel creepy crawly all day 🙁
I like overnight oats in a jar better too — the cold oats with the cold nut butter is waaaay good.
Congrats on the KERF poster sales!
Tabitha (From Single to Married) says
I was about to write “hey – it’s raining where we are too” but then I remembered that we live in the same state. 🙂 (we’re a bit North though, Arlington to be exact)
Valerie @ City|Life|Eats says
Lol – that was my reaction too – I am in Washington, DC, ie not far from Charlottesville either. It is pouring here.
sweetersalt says
Oh gosh, that daddy long legs just gave me shivers! Their legs totally give me the heebie jeebies!
Laura
p.s. i have no idea how heebie jeebies is spelled!
Samantha @ Bikini Birthday says
On a warm day I much prefer muesli to hot oatmeal. But during the winter I defintely want a warm bowl to wrap my hands around
Nicole says
I was able to email Open Sky and cancel the order I placed just before you ran your promo! So I will be getting two posters and am so excited to get them in my kitchen! I already know how I’m going to display them and will send you a picture when I do.
Courtney (Pancakes & Postcards) says
i’ve never understood why the nutzo jar was meant to be displayed upside down… can anyone explain?
Kath says
I think it’s so you store it upsidedown and let the oils gather at the top.
Sarena (The Non-Dairy Queen) says
Breakfast looks perfect! Enjoy your day Kath!
Claire (Low Impact Fashionista) says
My boyfriend is so tall and skinny that I call him as daddylonglegs when I can’t keep up with his walking pace! Also I wish I had the massive variety of toppings you have for oats…but then again that might be dangerous since then I would probably never. stop. eating. oats!
(eatmovelove) says
I don’t come here often, but just wanted to say lovely pictures! They really represent the type of weather were having here. Dewy and wet. 😉
Kath says
Thanks1
skinnyrunner says
ahhhhh! spiders, no! deahthly afraid of them.
Marina says
I love oiaj, hot or cold!
Can’t wait to have an almost empty nut butter jar :))
Jo says
So funny how everyone has different phobias. I *fear* and *loathe* daddy longlegs, just like the other posters said–they totally creep me out with their long legs.
And yet, obviously they don’t bother you Kath. But roaches do — go figure. Everyone’s hangup is different.
Kelly says
It’s super foggy in NC today too. At one point I couldn’t see more than five feet in front of me when driving to work. You know, I have yet to make overnight oats in a jar. I just love the warm stuff so much, it’s all I ever think about when I have an almost empty jar.
megan @ whatmegansmaking says
Aren’t foggy/rainy days fun when you can just stay home and be cozy? Perfect day to bake some pumpkin bread! 🙂 (Wish I was doing that instead of at work)
Liz @ Tip Top Shape says
Oats in a jar are the best! I’ve never tried overnight in one-must try this soon!!!
Heather says
I love waking up on a foggy, fall day. So peaceful and relaxing.
I have never tried overnight oats in a jar – I do love hot oats in a jar though.
Jenny says
Today is a a tea and Snuggie sort of day.
Brittany (A Healthy Slice of Life) says
foggy and soggy here, too…. but it feels fall-y… so it’s ok 🙂
Marisa @ Loser for Life says
It was beautiful here an hour ago, but now the clouds and dreariness have moved in! Boo!
Natalia - a side of simple says
Definitely asking for Nuttzo for my birthday and/or Christmas… 🙂
Amanda (Eating Up) says
That spider has legs! They really freak me out, but they’re also really interesting!
[email protected] Rebeltarian says
I too prefer overnight oat in a jar. I love the clumps!
Allison K says
I just bought your poster (and the eat local greens poster)! Super excited. They are spurring on the rearranging of my eat-in kitchen. I’ve been avoiding it, but now I want to get going on it, so I can hang up my two new posters!
Estela @ Weekly Bite says
I think the whole east coast is drench in rain and gloomy weather.
Definitely a morning for a cozy bowl of oats 🙂
yummieecupcake says
omg that spider has long legggggss!!!
Mary @ Bites and Bliss says
I have SO many Grandaddy Longlegs in my outside storage. Oh my gosh it’s like a longleg bomb exploded in there or something.
J3nn (Jenn's Menu and Lifestyle Blog) says
That spider looks like a pomegranate seed with legs, LOL
Ashley says
I’m pretty sure I like overnight oats better than cooked oats! Check out my recipe for CARROT CAKE SALAD on my BLOG! It would be a great addition to your oats 🙂
Alaina @ The Jogging Concierge says
Yuumm, I love OIAJ. I have a jar of Teddie’s PB that’s almost ready for some delicious oats. I’ve never tried it cold though; I’ll have to experiment!
The yucky weather is heading up this way. Hopefully sunshine behind it!
Christin S says
Oh my gosh Kath, I bought pumpkin butter from TJ’s yesterday to add to my oats this morning and it was out of this world…thanks so much for posting about that! 🙂
annejuliet says
i have to tell you that i bought four of his posters immediately after reading your first post about them. they are hangin in my abode and are a terrific reminder of living greenly and simply. i wish i had waited though so i could have a kerf one among the ranks! congrats on your awesome dedicated poster!
Lauren at KeepItSweet says
my first jar of nuttzo is almost finished…. i am thinking that OIAJ might be overnight this time!
Natalie says
I think the spider is beautiful. I don’t mind seeing them in their natural environment ie: outside 😉 They are very cool creatures!
Cathy B. @ Bright Bakes says
nothin better than OIAJ! Altho I’m partial to the warm oats, myself 😉
Love,
Cathy B. @ brightbakes
Tricia B says
Cool raining mornings in Virginia – just the best! We’re up the road in Fredericksburg but enjoy visiting Charlottesville every chance we get. My husband loves the overnight oats – but not me – too soggy makes me foggy 🙂 I love hot oatmeal with bananas just like you taught me. Can’t wait to visit your bakery one day – hope it is all coming together.
Katie says
It’s been dreary here forever, but the sun is finally out!
chelsey @ clean eating chelsey says
i HATE HATE HATE spiders – and my house breeds them like nobody’s business. Gross!
Michelle @ IronDivas says
It’s a rainy day here in Maryland, I wish I was able to stay in the house and soak up my couch : ) Your breakfast looks tasty, I can’t wait to get an empty jar.
Jaime says
Great pictures. I would much rather see a Daddy Long Leg then a “Texas” sized spider! They freak me out!
lynn (The Actors Diet) says
my brother used to torture those daddy long legs. i still get the willies!
stephanie says
i’m a new fan! and, we have so much in common…davidson grads (i graduated in 2001), dietitians (i work as a clinical/nutrition support dietitian), bloggers (my website is above), and lovers of real, good food (love you poster!). and…we may be headed to charlottesville next summer for my husband’s (also a davidson grad) radiology residency! would love to email with you and find out more about the bakery business. my husband and i keep talking about opening a food place one day…
glad i found you!
Kath says
WOW – we’re twins! Go wildcats! Going back for our 5th year reunion in November 🙂
Would love to email – Katheats at Gmail dot com
kate says
Looks like the perfect crawl up with a book kind of day!
Diana @ frontyardfoodie says
I get a tiny bit creeped out by Grandaddy long legs. Yesterday I was picking a ton of peppers in the garden and kept getting just a little too close for comfort.
Katie @ The Boston Marathoner says
Kath, when you make overnight oats does the oatmeal get soggy, or does it stay together pretty well? This looks like an awesome idea for getting a good breakfast even when you’re running out the door in the morning. I could really use this!
Alyssa says
Katie, mine don’t get soggy at all! I think it takes a bit of trial and error to make sure you don’t add too much liquid and just enough yogurt 🙂
Katie @ The Boston Marathoner says
Awesome! I’m definitely going to make this tonight! Thanks for the reply –
Kath says
I wouldn’t say soggy – more doughy! But do make sure they are mixed up enough, and add more yogurt than milk
Alyssa says
I’m so in love with OIAJ!!
By the way, I’m hosting a giveaway for my homemade granola bar recipe! They are virtually allergen free (unless you are allergic to almonds, cashews, or soy) 🙂
Clare @ Fitting It All In says
I prefer cold overnight oats in a jar also! I think you get to taste the PB or AB more than when it just melts into hot oats!
Susan Mc says
I can’t wait to get the poster(s) I ordered… will be sure and send you pics!
For some reason I hate other spiders but Daddy Long Legs don’t bug me at all! I think it’s the “daddy”… no scare factor! In fact, my son had one on his head this morning, I brushed it off and our kitten played with it then ate it (ick!) Must be DLL season!
stacey-healthylife says
Scary spider, he must be around for Halloween.
Allie says
It’s foggy and soggy here in pittsburgh as well. Here’s to yummy coffee and breakfasts to get through it:-)
Claire says
Actually, daddy long legs are not spiders.
Hannah says
That spider freaks me out!! I need to calm down by thinking about yummy oatmeal…
Meagan says
Ew. Spiders, I share your sentiments. It’s been interesting weather here too. Maybe California is catching some East Coast weather.
