I <3 Real Food

IMG_9121Blog

KERF reader Becca sent this adorable button to me in the mail! How appropriate – pumpkin and all!

IMG_9114Blog

Real food breakfast, made with pumpkin love: Coach’s oats, chia, milk, water, salt (no banana – I’m out 🙁 ), 1/2 cup pumpkin and 1/4 cup cottage cheese, stirred in at end. Plus Cville Cluster (the last bit – no clusters left!) and Barney Butter

    Ah! Happy birthday Larbs!!

    I had pumpkin Coach’s Oats the other day too – SO SO delicious! Also? I LOVE the last bits of Cville Cluster…almost as much as the delicious clusters themselves!

    Have a great day Kath! 🙂

    I get disappointed when there are no clusters left in my granola! 🙁 I also have to comment on your frother, because I ordered one from Amazon last week and CANNOT wait to use it. I’m hoping it gets here today. Oh it’s the little things that make a girl happy. 🙂 Have a wonderful Tuesday!

    You inspired my oatmeal breakfast. I usually want savory and use my oatmeal as a afternoon snack, but today I had what was like an oatmeal raisin cookie in a bowl. Thanks for the inspiration.

    that bowl is tilted and I love it. Also? what makes you use water instead of milk? I tend to use vanilla almond milk for the sweetness. It doesn’t taste like barney butter flavored cardboard soup?

      I use 50% water/50% milk – always. I get the protein + cream of milk plus the plumping and volume of the water

    Where did she find that button? I need one, or one box full! I had pumpkin oats this morning and just made some pumpkin bread. I just bought 12 cans of pumpkin that were on sale for $0.99 (just the 15 oz, not the monstrous 6 or 7 lb cans like you are able to get). I’ll certainly be heading back to buy some more later this week. Happy 26th birthday to your sis, 26 sounds so young! Hope you enjoyed the presentation – did you guys present or were you just attending?
