It’s a good morning indeed.
Even this bee who has been staring me down after I put my hand on his nest agrees!
Breakfast was already made. Wish my bed had been already made.
Overnight oats made with Coach’s oats, milk, yogurt, cinnamon, chia seeds, banana, blueberries, raspberries and some crumbled savannah bar that Matt brought home for me last night!
Coconut tea!
Listening to Brad Paisley over breakfast this morning. My favorite artist of all time!! Country music really does warm the soul.
So does finishing a to-do list the day before!
Have a great Wednesday!
Khushboo says
Your tweet has made me wanna Father of the Bride for the umpteenth time!!
Kristin @ Iowa Girl Eats says
Ooo, I haven’t had overnight oats in a hot minute! Love the coconut tea too. I really only like flavored black teas – like Trader Joe’s Vanilla & Cinnamon – so this ones sounds uber yummy. 🙂 Happy hump day!
Kristin @ Iowa Girl Eats says
Love the new header too! Such bright and vibrant pictures to include!
Karen says
Oh, I love, love, love Brad Paisley too…his lyrics are sometimes hysterical, always full of soul!
Have a beautiful day, Kath!
Molly @ RDexposed says
All good days involve a to-do list!
Katie @ cooklaughmove says
I like Brad Paisley too! And country music, it is just so “American”!
lynda @ healthy hoboken girl says
Oh, good morning, breakfast looks delicious…I need to get cracking on my to-do list…gotta go!
Good luck at bakery!
Mai says
The first picture is gorgeous! And so is breakfast 🙂 yummy.
Katie says
I wish my bed were made too! I’m washing the sheets so it will be nice to climb into a fresh clean bed tonight. Love Brad Paisley and love the pictures of your breakfast. How nice of Matt to bring you a Savannah bar. Have a wonderful Wednesday!
Lauren @ What Lauren Likes says
Love the overnight oat bowl! What a great morning for you haha 🙂
Brittany @ Itty Bits of Balance says
That bee looks like it’s out to get you 😉
katie @KatieDid says
My life just got very busy. To-do lists are my savior! And I also applaud you for blogging 3X/day. It’s hitting me for the first time how truly amazing bloggers are at fitting it all in!
Gina @ Running to the Kitchen says
I saw your tweet before and am always so jealous that Annie Banks (fav movie ever!) is married to him! They are both so sweet!
Erika @ The Teenage Taste says
Mmm…your oats look fabulous. What’s in a Savannah bar? It looks goooooood. 🙂
The Purple Carrot says
Coconut tea?? Sounds good!
Laura @ Sprint 2 the Table says
Do you make your bed every day? I can’t convince myself to make the bed unless I change the sheets. 🙂
KathEats says
Always. As soon as I get up. Except for Sundays “in case I need to get back in”
Jennifer says
Ha! I do the same. Sundays are a free day too mostly because my husband gets back in! 🙂
Jillian says
Maybe its just because I don’t move around in my sleep at all most of the time, but I’ve always wondered what “making the bed” means to others or why it would be something to not feel like doing- I just pull the sheets up over the pillows and then the duvet, and toss whatever throw pillows I’m using back on- it takes me like 15 seconds. Do y’all have really elaborate bedding or something?! 😉
KathEats says
Agreed. It takes me 10 seconds!
The Healthy Hipster says
Coconut tea! I’ve never heard of such a lovely invention. Gotta seek that out for sure 🙂
Hannah says
Breakfast > making the bed. Forever.
Angie @ Musings of a Violet Monkey says
I don’t think I have ever heard a Brad Paisley song.
What can I say? Country music is NOT my jam. 🙂
However, I adore “Annie Banks”. 😉
Your overnight oats are looking particularly scrumptious today… must be that Savannah bar!

So glad you’re a fellow Paisley fan. The BEST. 😀
And I’m loving your breakfast this morning!
Jil @ Big City, Lil' Kitchen says
Such a beautiful morning!!
Ashley @ My Food 'N' Fitness Diaries says
Paisley + overnight oats sure does make for a great combo! 🙂
Cait's Plate says
I adore that last photo.
I’ve never been too huge into country music but lately I’ve been listening to a lot. Have you ever heard of Zac Brown Band? My sister just got me into them and they’re good. And my friend (he lives in Charlotte!) just got me into a song by “Southern Culture on the Skids” (called “Whole Lotta Things”) that I really liked. They’re hail from Chapel Hill! I also love the Crazy Heart soundtrack. SO many good songs on there.
KathEats says
LURVE Zac Brown Band!!
Morgan @ Life After Bagels says
Love the sunny photo 🙂 totally put a smile on my face because my morning involved me waking up late and now I’m choking down a batch of granola that I made on the weekend that went soggy, blech! But I hate wasting food so I’m enduring
Kim says
crumbled savannah bar = one of my top favorite oatmeal toppings!
Angela @ Eat Spin Run Repeat says
Gret photos! And the breakfast looks great, especially the Savannah bar!!
Meredith @ Food, Shoes, and Booze says
I love Brad Paisley 🙂 I think I like country music the most when I’m driving.. it keeps me awake for long trips!
Holly @ The Runny Egg says
I like Brad Paisley too! I will listen to nothing but Country music for months and then all of a sudden switch to something else. I love that I can actually understand the words and most of the time the music just makes me feel so good!
[email protected] says
Just blogged about my love for country music! Sav crumbles 🙂
Ashley O. @ The Vegetable Life says
I love me some brad paisley!!! … Not too mention he is pretty nice eye candy too! 🙂
KathEats says
Absolutely! I’ve seen him in concert 3 times and 2 of those times I TOUCHED HIS HAND!!
Ashley O. @ The Vegetable Life says
Gah!! You TOUCHED his hand! I am SUPER jelous! I would probably have fainted and/or never washed my hand again!!!!
…I kid, I kid (sort of!)
Stephanie @ StephSnacks says
I’ve had coconut coffee before but never coconut tea! Sounds fantastic.
Aine @ Something to Chew Over says
I don’t know Brad Paisley, I’ll have to check him out.
Have a great day! 🙂
Kristin @ eat healthy. be happy. live well says
I love Brad Paisley! He’s awesome in concert if you ever get the chance to see him (or maybe you already have seen him!).
Enjoy your Wednesday as well!
KathEats says
I have – I have touched his skin!! And he almost kicked me in the head with his cowboy boot. I saw him at the NC state fair before he was famous so I was front row for $15!
Lindsay says
I know this is off topic. I was wondering what is the best way to save a recipe post from a website in a folder that you could go back to? You are the most internet savvy, foodie, blogger, etc, that I know to ask. I tried to save as a webpage in a folder but I think some of them diassapeared?
Can’t wait to see pics of the house!! Congrats
KathEats says
I use Evernote, which has a website clipper that you can put in your toolbar to save recipes.
kyla says
Brad is great! But Tim McGraw is my favorite male country artist 🙂
KathEats says
Tim is good, but not as hot 🙂
kyla says
True. Brad Paisley does have those eyes…
Elisabeth says
My favorite country artist is Keith Urban, although country music is not usually my first pick. My favorite artist is Paul McCartney & I usually go for classic rock or other music of the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s. 🙂
Sweet and Savvy says
It is a beautiful morning! Brad Paisley is an amazing musician. There’s Something about country music That is just so heartfelt and touching!
Johanna B says
Don’t annoy the guard bee. He looks mean.
Hilliary @ Happily Ever Healthy says
Love love love Brad Paisley, and country music in general!
Nikita says
What a lovely bowl of oats! I broke out the pumpkin overnight oats today- close enough to fall for me! We have a cold front moving in! Oh who am I kidding, I’ve been finding excuses to eat pumpkin all summer…
Natalie says
AH! I have never tried overnight oats and yours always look delicious! I am putting it on the “to do” list!
PS – the fact that you love Brad Paisley makes me like you and your blog even more! 🙂
Kate (What Kate is Cooking) says
I thought it was Thursday until I saw the last sentence! My week is all jumbled 🙂
Cat @Breakfast to Bed says
I love coconut tea with honey and milk, and I love Brad Paisley shirtless and singing.
Liz @ Tip Top Shape says
Coconut tea sounds fantastic. I’ve never seen it out by me! Oh-and random story. I had a dream last night that you and Matt moved into my neighborhood and we all met. If this is not a sign that I am reading too many blogs, I don’t know what is. lol
KathEats says
🙂
Angel7 says
I feel like I actually accomplished something when I complete my to-do list — a fruitful day when to-dos are completed!

Anastasia says
Sounds like a lovely morning!
lynn @ the actor's diet says
i’m a big fan of “old” country music – patsy cline, ricky nelson…
Lindsay @ Lindsay's List says
You must be a Carolina Girl at heart!! I like BP too, and his wife, forget her name, but she was in “Father of the Bride” – best movie ever.
Angela @ momethis says
Breakfast looks terrific ! And coconut tea sounds refreshing. Great post!
Katie @ Peace Love and Oats says
Country music is by far my favorite, always makes me feel good
Lisa Fischoff says
I LOVE Brad Paisley! He’s playing the DC Area on sept 24h, I’m hoping to go!
ALSO love love love Luke Bryan, Lady Antebellum and Zac Brown!
Annette @ EnjoyYourHealthyLife says
pretty morning pics!! Have a great day 🙂
Rosa - Fitness, Food, Fulfilled says
I just had my own bowl of overnight oats and it was delicious. Using your inspiration, I made my own chocolate granola last night and then added it to my bowl this morning. Can’t wait to have more tomorrow!
Abby @ Abz 'n' Oats says
Mmm. I haven’t had overnight oats for quite a while! I am out of yogurt and trying to use as much stuff as I can before heading to the store!
Emily says
I love Brad Paisley too! Your coconut tea sounds wonderful.
Ashley says
I love Brad Paisley! There is something about country music that is so wonderful. The words are simple and they tell a story. We just moved from the Midwest to the west coast and nobody listens to it here. Sad. 🙁
Courteney @ The Oven Whisperer Speaks says
I am in love with anything coconut these days, maybe borderline obsessed since I have recently learned about Thai cuisine. I am going to have to try this coconut tea now and add it to the list.
🙂
A Teenage Gourmet (Sami) says
I can’t wait to make it to your bakery, but I’m so busy at UVa! Is there a bus line that goes by Great Harvest? I don’t have a car. 🙁
Shaya (Eye Girl Eats) says
Wish I had a Savannah bar to crumble over my smoothie! 🙂
I love country too now (after all those years swearing that I hated it!). It really is so fun to listen to. Have you heard the new Lady Gaga song where she totally goes country? Called ‘You and I’. I like it a lot!!
kaila @ healthy helper! says
Brad Paisley is actually one of the very few country artists I like! Plus he’s adorable!
Lindsay @ bike before bed says
When I read the title of your post… I thought it was going to be about the pattern not the singer!
Kait @ One Love Run says
You just inspired me to turn on Brad Paisley on Pandora! What great music to start your day with.
Sarah @ Sarah's Modern Bites says
I have never heard of Brad Paisley… what kind of music artist is he??? I will have to check him out when I get home from work!
I love having the bed made when I leave for work… I like knowing that I can come home to a clean house with no dishes to wash, or a bed to make. It’s like a weight off my mind and helps to to better focus on my day at work.
I forget sometimes how much a adore raspberries in oats! Last years I was really into raspberry cocoa overnight oats. Holy deliciousness 😀
KathEats says
Hot country!
Beth B says
Brad Paisley makes every day better. <3 him!!!
[email protected] says
I love the idea of the coconut tea but not the country music.
I was at someone’s house the other day and they played country music for 3 hours straight – I felt like pulling my hair out – Gahhhh((((
Emily @ the doodlebug says
I just clicked on to your overnight oats page – I’m SOOO going to make the pumpkin oats! Yum!
Emily @ the doodlebug says
And who doesn’t love Brad Paisley!? My husband thinks I like him so much because of his wife (I used to be obsessed with the movie, Father of the Bride), but REALLY it’s because he’s super cute 😉
Shari says
What a cheery little post!
Mike says
Wow, as a semi…new vegetarian…i just finished reading the china study and it has made me want to become a vegan…your pictures inspire me! I love how delicious everything looks! i will be making your site a favorite forever! can’t wait to see and read some old ones.
Averie @ Love Veggies and Yoga says
This sounds strange but there is something super cool about the gray “protector” thing that you show a picture of when you talk about the bee. I thought the same thing when I saw the picture of it in the last post..I love old metal things like that. Very artsy.
Totally random comment, I realize 🙂
Cait @ Cait hates Cake says
Love listening to country music when I go home to Iowa or when I’m in Wisconsin, but rarely ever listen to it here in Chicago. Weird.
Ashley @ Coffee Cake and Cardio says
I adore Brad Paisley!! Such a wonderful singer and his lyrics are awesome!! I also think his family is super cute! Oh Father of the Bride, how I love that movie!
Chelsea @ One Healthy Munchkin says
I’ve never really given true country music a chance… but I’m a big fan of Americana music, which I guess is kind of a “light” version of country? I’ll have to give Brad Paisley a listen!
Brittnie (A Joy Renewed) says
We love Brad Paisley also. We try to see him every time he comes to the Houston Rodeo. We used his song “She’s everything” (from the Time Well Wasted album) in our wedding slide show. 🙂
Alaina says
I never used to be into country until I met my husband. Some of it is really catchy though and puts me in a good mood. 🙂
Where did you get the coconut tea? That sounds delicious!
KathEats says
Adagio teas
Sara @ Real Fun Food says
I’m so glad to “meet” someone else who loves country. Everyone always makes fun of me for it! 🙂
Allison says
I love BP too! We saw him in concert a couple of summers ago and he was great live 😀
