I’m blogging from Whole Foods and eating a delicious salad. Takes me back to the days I used to blog from EarthFare after my nutrition classes at Winthrop!
Last night I was a guest player for soccer – for an all-men’s league! The captain and I are going to be on the same team this spring, and when he asked me to guest play I assumed he meant a co-ed team. When I arrived I was quite intimidated! But of course I arrived to play, and play I did. I thought I did pretty well and had a handful of shots on goal. No major embarrassments! I’m really going to miss indoor! I loved the smaller court and heated air.
This morning I had whipped banana oatmeal for breakfast topped with almond butter and jelly. Coconut on top. Mazen’s favorite breakfast too. He loves helping me pour the ingredients into the pot!
I rescheduled my babysitter for this morning after all the snow, so I had a mother’s morning out. I ran a few errands and did a little fun shopping as well before settling down with my laptop to get some work done.
Last night Ellen introduced me to these new chocolate bars from Trader Joe’s filled with POP ROCKS! Hillary explained to us after some Googling that they are filled with CO2 bubbles trapped in the hard candy. She was not a fan, but I love the tingle! I swung in and picked up 5 bars. Better savor them!
For lunch I filled my box with kale Caesar salad (my favorite thing on the WF salad bar), 2 kinds of tofu, beans, a potato wedge, and a dollop of the best mac and cheese ever.
Happy Weekend!!

I’m dying to get those Fireworks bars! I used to work at TCBY in college, and they had a pop rock ice cream that was amazing.

I’ve been eyeing those choco bars at TJ’s – I didn’t realize they had pop rocks! How funny!
Linda @ thefitty says
Hey, were you aware your blog was downs temporarily today? And what and input to play with the men’s team, was it more vicious and competitive in any way?
KathEats says
Yes, hopefully all is fixed now. And yes, the men’s team was way more intense.

I used to love going in to whole foods for lunch. I love that they have such a big “eating space” (At least the ones I’ve been to). Plus, free WiFi! Cant go wrong.
Erin @ Her Heartland Soul says
Mmm I love Whole Foods! Happy Friday!
Taca @ A Side Of Dessert says
Oh those chocolate bars looks so amazing! I’ll have to keep an eye out for them! Have a fantastic weekend with your family!
Emily @ Life on Food says
Oh man I don’t know about that chocolate.
KathEats says
Try it!!
Livi @ Eat, Pray, Work It Out says
Those fireworks bars sound so good!!
AJ says
Pop rock chocolate has been a thing in Israel for years. So glad I can finally get it stateside! (and the TJ’s chocolate is excellent).
Candice says
In Portland, I had chocolate with pop rocks in it. Soooo yummy. Hoping my Trader Joes has this!
Sam @ Grapefruit & Granola says
Pop rock candy bars sound like a genius idea

You had me at Kale Caesar! Well done for playing with the men!!! At least you came away unscathed!
Emily says
I think it’s so cool that you do soccer although an all mens game sounds intimidating. Did you play team sports in high school or college?
KathEats says
I played soccer in high school and a year of club in college before I had to quit to have foot surgery 🙁
Beth says
how do you make whipped banana oatmeal? Sounds yummy!!

Cassie says
Delicious brekkie and lunch! Your meals always look so delicious!
Hannah says
Why is WF’s mac n cheese so good??? Even when I go in to just get a salad I always have to get a bite! ????
Emily Butler says
Oh that chocolate I’m going to have to give that a try, yum! I’d be intimidated on an all mens team as well, way to suck it up!
Hannah @ eat, drink and save money says
I’m so glad I read this post before my trip to TJ’s. I’m heading there this afternoon and just put those candy bars on my shopping list.
Cheri @ Overactive Blogger says
That looks so so yummy!
lisa @bitesforbabies says
I love the vegan concoctions that Whole Foods comes up with…and that’s so cool that you’re blogging from there 😉

I love when you show pics of the city or your neighborhood walks. So pretty. Shhhhh don’t tell anyone in Blacksburg I said that.
