Matt’s been feeling a bit stressed at work, so Alex and I convinced him to take a morning off. The crew is well-trained and doing an awesome job, so there is no reason Matt needs to be there at 7 everyday. He slept in and I brought him oatmeal in bed!!
But who wants to eat in bed when you can eat on the couch and watch The Office! So that’s where we headed. [Such a great episode too!]
I made his favorite mix (no pumpkin allowed!): Whipped Banana Cottage Cheese with lots of peanut butter
Candy Cane tea with frothed milk
I’ll be working on our Christmas week menu and gift guide design over the next few days, and Matt and I are hoping to get our Christmas tree this weekend! New house, new spot for a tree!

No pumpkin? The horror! Can’t wait to browse the Christmas week menu. I looked at your Thanksgiving one a couple weeks ago and dreamt of being in front of the bread board sneaking bites 🙂
KathEats says
You need to come down for a day trip!
[email protected] says
Yeah! I wanna see all the changes you made to the retail section! And of course, taste that darn Pumpkin Oh 🙂
KathEats says
Pumpkin Ohs are gone till next year!!! At least we think…

We’ll be decorating today too, and I am finally allowed to play Christmas music.
Jamie @ Don't Forget the Cinnamon says
Christmas tree shopping is the best–have a blast!!
lynn @ the actor's diet says
yes everyone needs a morning off with oatmeal in bed!
Katie @ Talk Less, Say More says
Oatmeal, hot tea, and The Office – sounds like a good start to the morning to me! 🙂
Kate (What Kate is Cooking) says
Whenever I have time, I always eat breakfast in front of the TV. I’ve never eaten breakfast in bed before- my mom never let us take food in our rooms when we were kids, and I still can’t bring myself to do it!
khushboo says
Brownie points for you Kath! Hope Matt enjoyed the pampering!
Annette @ EnjoyYourHealthyLife says
I love sleeping in! Sounds perfect with b-fast in bed. ENJOY!
Karen says
Good for you…Matt surely deserves some TLC! Sounds like a super fun, festive weekend for y’all…enjoy!
Katie says
What a good wife you are! Enjoy your morning…I think I might put on some Office episodes, too – that sounds delightful!
Brittnie (A Joy Renewed) says
Decorating for Christmas is one of my favorite parts of the holiday season. It is so fun coming home each night to a house & tree lit up. 🙂
Kelly @ Foodie Fiasco says
Look at you, such a good wife. Oats in bed? Wow. 😉
Cara @ EAT. PRAY. RUN. says
How sweet of you! Hope you enjoyed your relaxing morning!
Jessica @ The Process of Healing says
Aw poor Matt!!!! He needs a vacation already!
Katie Robinson says
I could do with this sort of TLC, do you feel like flying out to Budapest and taking care of me??? I can promise fresh food markets and , Christmas craft fairs!!
Lauren @ What Lauren Likes says
Candy Cane tea sounds great! Yum 🙂
Chelsea @ One Healthy Munchkin says
Poor Matt! The holiday season must be so stressful at the bakery. That sounds like a such a nice morning off though!
Rebecca @ Naturally Healthy and Gorgeous says
Peanut butter makes everything better!
[email protected] says
That is awesome, and so sweet of you Kath! Hmmmm ever since I was little, I fantasized about eating breakfast in bed. But I thought it only happened in movies! 😛
ashley says
I love the Office. So what is your number one favorite breakfast? And what would be Matt’s?
KathEats says
The above is our favorite – but I like it even more with pumpkin!
Sunya says
I am with Matt…whipped banana w/ cottage cheese is my favorite. I had it this morning myself with a few butterscotch chips, chia seeds and homemade honey sesame almond nut butter. Yummy warm way to start the day. I am not sure how I can ever thank you Kath for the tip of bananas and cottage cheese in oatmeal. LOVE IT!!!! Have a great weekend!
KathEats says
!! Love butterscotch in mine too!
Liz @ Tip Top Shape says
I’ve never had cottage cheese in my oats before! I usually just rock the classic whipped banana.
kathleen @ the daily crumb says
i love that first picture! hope you both enjoy a relaxing day 🙂 any day that starts out with lots of peanut butter is bound to be a good one.
Cait's Plate says
I’m glad Matt is getting some much-needed rest! And also happy to hear The Office was a good one, I need to watch it as well.
I’m headed over to GH Charlotte momentarily and I can’t wait!!
ayse says
dear kath,
if i was given the option to pick someone to make me breakfast every morning, i would choose you and your awesome array of nutbutters and tea. just thought i’d let you know.
love
ayse
KathEats says
And I would love to make it for you!
TeenyLittleSuperChef says
Mmm, I love your whipped banana oatmeal. And anything instantly tastes better with gobs of peanut butter on it, if I do say so myself. Especially of the Chia Charger variety that I finally got my greedy little paws on. Xmas came early this year for this little peanut butter fiend.. woohoo!
I hope Matt enjoyed his morning off from work. He can chalk it up to a mental health day.
Katie @ Peace Love & Oats says
I always wondered if he ever took time off, i’m glad you all convinced him!
Susan H. @ the food allergy chronicles says
Lots of peanut butter would be my choice too!
Angel7 says
Everyone could use a little r and r now and again 🙂

Tell Matt I feel his stress — I ducked out early on Friday for exactly that reason. It gets a little overwhelming to say the least. Glad you’re all there to support him. You guys can do it! 🙂
Elisabeth says
Hope Matt enjoyed his day off – I’m sure the Holidays add extra stress for a business owner, especially his first shot at the Holidays! 🙂
[email protected] Broken Cookies Don't Count says
Very sweet of you to make him breakfast in bed! I’m sure he appreciated it!
Julia H. @ The Petite Spiel says
Take a breather, Matt! Good thing the holidays are coming up–down time! Hopefully..? Then again I suppose holidays are busy for you guys at the bakery. Hooray income!
