I have a double meal post for you this afternoon! Breakfast and lunch in bowls. Did you know I actually gave away a lot of my bowl collection? At one point I probably had 100 different bowls in every color and size, and now I am down to just my very favorites – including all of our wedding Pottery Barn Great White bowls. The older I get the more I feel the need to simplify the things my life!
Breakfast today was yogurt topped with blueberries and pomegranate seeds plus a bunch of Cville Cluster Granola crumbs on top! Cville Cluster is the best granola ever, but it’s so good that I can’t keep it around. Every now and then Matt brings me the crumbs and small clusters from the bottom of the giant mixing bowl when they make a fresh batch at the bakery, so today’s topping was a nice treat! This was the first time Mazen got the concept of “cereal with milk” and he was quite a happy camper! FYI, no nut butter today because the ‘Cluster is quite high in fat! It’s about as dense as peanut butter.
For lunch: leftover vegetable soup! Topped with Greek yogurt, per usual, and cheese because it’s freakin’ delicious. I added a few leftover roasted sweet potatoes to the soup too – a nice touch!
We have some special visitors coming this weekend: Grammie and Pea! Mazen is flipping out with excitement and has been counting down the days….as only a two year old would know how to do ; )

i don’t know what i love more — eating things out of bowls, or eating things out of mugs! my favorite is the oversized mug, which is basically a mug/bowl hybrid and the best idea ever. 🙂

Where do you usually purchase your bowls? I’m looking for some good looking ones but I always find plain ones at my local thrift shop.

I love meals in bowls too but I’m on the lookout for cute bowls. I guess I’ll have to stop by pottery barn!
Hillary says
Love these quick little posts!!
Quick question – how much broth is in the soup? Do you ever add more after refrigeration?
KathEats says
It’s one 32 ounce box in the recipe, and you can add more if you like a brothy soup. The barley will suck up some in the fridge.
Tiffany says
Who did you give your bowls away to? I would have loved to get a Kath classic oatmeal bowl! 😉
KathEats says
Friends and Good Will. I should have done something cool with them but the thought of finding good shipping materials and them breaking In the mail held me back!

That Cville cluster is sooo good. I had a bag from my Quarterly box. It didn’t last long. I think I polished off a bag within a few days. Yum!

Our dinner was in bowls last night. Bright colored Fiesta bowls!! Cooked collard greens (with ham hocks) and homemade Mac and cheese!! Yum!! Perfect for a child snowy evening…
KathEats says

Is it lame that I love bowls with handles?? I’m always tempted to put coffee in them, though…
Simple Green Moms says

I’m actually quite jealous of your bowls, lol! Since blogging, I’m always on the lookout for interesting looking bowls, cutlery, napkins, etc! It’s make such a difference in the pics 😉
Lynn @ The Actor’s Diet says
Oh, your bowl collection! I’m downsizing too but I can’t get rid of my precious bowls!

Just want to say that I love the new (old) format of your blog post! The fact that you change it up keeps it interesting 🙂
Annie says
I’ve found all of my favorite bowls at estate sales!

I eat all my meals in bowls haha, so much more practical than plates!
