I very much wanted it to be 85 degrees outside as we departed for the market.
Turns out it was closer to 45. Winter coat was necessary. Imagination used.
But we did our best to pretend it was summer! There were no tomatoes, but there were lots of plants and arts and crafts.
We only picked up some Jam According To Daniel and some paperwork on a FISH CSA that we might join!
Here we are getting back on our bikes to bike home:
I went to Body Pump after the market (1 block away!). It was a new release (#77?) so all new songs. I liked it! Got a great workout, and ended things with 20 minutes of sweating on the stairmaster while reading about myself in Breathe!
My latest nutrition column article: “Getting Cultured On Probiotics”
There’s me!
Breathe is also a really fun magazine to browse through – lots of good content.
Lunchtime! I can’t get enough eggs lately
I had one sunny side up with smoked paprika and parmesan
On top of leftover sweet potato beans + rice from last week plus some lettuce
Carrots + toast on the side
Buttered Cranberry Orange that was SO good as my dessert!! This bread is over 10 days old and was STILL delicious (toasted).
It is sunshining and raining at the same time – I think the Devil must be beating his wife..
Homework time!
Rae says
My mom used to say: “A sun-shiney shower won’t last a half hour!”
Jane says
I love the dogs waiting by your bikes!! 😉
Jumanah @ Healthy Living in the Middle East says
Eggs are so good with Parmesan! I think Parmesan makes everything better!
B & B says
Oh gosh…never heard that devil expression before…;) Lovely morning.
Congrats on the article.
Jackie @ Baking Charms says
Congratulations on the article! It is the best feeling to see your name and writing in print 🙂
Christine @ Burning It Off says
I can’t wait to try Body Pump 77… I don’t think it’s come out yet in Canada, but my instructor said we’ll be doing it soon. Glad to hear it’s a good one!
Cindy says
Sounds like a great morning!
JenATX says
you inspired me to ‘egg’speriment (haha, cheezy) with eggs the other day on my sandwich. I cooked one over medium, put it between to slices of bread w/ cheese, lettuce, tomato, & cesar dressing & then pressed the sandwich on the panini grill. it was ‘egg’cellent! (ok, ok i’ll stop now)
Nancy~The Wife of a Dairyman says
I just had some probiotics yogurt with granola for lunch:) Congrats on the article! That’s fantastic!
Jessica @ The Process of Healing says
Luckily we have slightly warm weather AND sun! Gotta love april 🙂

The is out today! That makes me happy 🙂

Ooh never heard that expression!
10 days old and still going strong!? Wow that’s impressive!!
Jenny @ Fitness Health and Food says
Kudos to you guys for biking so much during the cold weather! I don’t even get my bike out until May here in the windy city! 😛
Emily @ Savory and Savage says
Your lunch looks very yummy. I love the egg with the runny yolk.
I definitely go through times when I crave lots of eggs.
And a big congrats on your new article 🙂
Kristi @ KristiAteIt says
How cool to read your own article! I can never read while working out, I’ve tried..but I find it difficult. You mentioning the fish CSA has me looking up if we have anything similar. I doubt it. But thats a cool idea!
Mom says
Love the title of your new article!
M says
Ha! My childhood best friend and I used to run to the telephone pole and put our ear up against it and swear we could hear “the devil beating his wife!” when we had a sun shower! I think it must be a southern thing?! Cute.
Courtney @ The Granola Chronicles says
I think I’m going to have to try adding paprika & parmesan to my eggs – sounds great!
Courtney says
MMMmmm. Lunch looks yummy! Congrats on the article! 10,000 views a day…dang girl! 🙂
KathEats says
I’m actually up closer to 15,000 these days!!
M says
Do bloggers count each different hit, or does 15,000 include those of us that visit
3 times or more a day?
Either way, lots of hits! 😉
KathEats says
KERF gets 13,000-15,000 unique visitors a day and 35,000 – 50,000 hits per day! (So an average of 2.5-3+ visits per day)
M says
Really interesting stats, thanks for sharing!
B & B says
Wow. Do you feel pressure to keep that up Kath? Or what happens if you don’t…(not that that would happen!) – but y’know.
lindsey says
that is awesome! thanks so much for helping so many people :))
Molly says
Glad to see magazines are using dietitians for nutrition articles!
Amanda (The Nutritionist Reviews) says
That is so awesome that you are in a magazine!
Hannah @ Healthy Whip says
That bread sounds great!
Meg says
I love artsy fartsy finds at Farmer’s Markets! Gahh this weather is bipolar. So sick of it…I know you and your bikes are too!
Congrats on the wonderful article 😀 I’d love to read it but I’ve never seen that mag around here! Will have to scope it out!
Jess @ atasteofconfidence says
Congrats on the magazine! Luckily I don’t have to do too much make believe today. It is 50 here- super warm!
Angel7 says
Those carrots looking amazingly vibrant!
Probiotics do wonders for the body, especially someone who has candida. Even if you do not have candida, it can help your digestive tract and other stuff that are essential to function.

Sounds like a fabulous morning despite the chilly weather. And congrats on the article! You definitely have a skill for writing and are putting it to good use. 🙂
Miranda @ Working Mom Works Out says
Congrats on the article. I’ve never heard of that magazine. I’ll look into it.
Sarena (The Non-Dairy Queen) says
Lunch looks perfect…probably because I had just about the same thing. Congrats on the article! That is really great!
AJ @ Flowing to Fifty says
Where is spring???? Looks like you had a nice time anyway.
marpari says
How can I contact Daniel to purchase his jam in California?
KathEats says
His website? http://accordingtodaniel.com/jam/
Emma (Namaste Everyday) says
I love farmers markets! I’m so lucky because mine is actually less expensive than the grocery store! Though I was devastated when I realized that I missed it this week! The horror! I can’t wait to hear details about the fish CSA – I’ve never hear of one, but I LOVE fresh fish, so that sounds like such a cool opportunity!
caitlin says
Thats so funny! I live in Blacksburg, VA and I picked a free one up and read about that article without knowing you wrote it! How fun!
J3nn (Jenn's Menu and Lifestyle Blog) says
Your lunch looks so yummy! I love runny yolks over greens. Wish I didn’t have a cold right now, I’d love a salad.
Laughter-Loving Stacy says
I did some p90x this morning! Felt AWESOME. 🙂
Abby says
Parmesan and paprika on eggs sounds tasty! Congrats on the magazine article! 🙂
Sarah (Running To Slow Things Down) says
I love, love, love eggs over salad. So delicious.
The farmers market looks like fun! Bring on that warm weather already. We’ve been having unusually chilly temperatures here in New England as well!
Liz @ Tip Top Shape says
It must be so cool to read your own work in a magazine!!
Michelle says
Have you tried slicing and the freezing your Great Harvest breads? I wonder if that’s too much exposure to the cold and if it will affect the taste of the bread when thawed. I’ve been following the opening of the GH in Kirkwood, MO. Since I won’t likely be able to get there every week, I wondered about freezing the bread and then using it for toast and toasted/grilled sandwiches. Just wondering if you’ve tried it!
KathEats says
We have frozen whole loaves no problem – they come back out just fine. I haven’t ever froze a sliced loaf though. I imagine all the in and out of the freezer to get a slice might be too much for it. But what you could do is cut the loaf in half (or thirds) and free those big hunks and take those as each week as you need them?
Tracy says
That’s what I do…works great. Like a new loaf every time I pull out a hunk!
Michelle says
Thanks Kath. My only problem with freezing it unsliced is that I’m a horrible bread slicer! 🙂
I think you are right, though…the in/out opening of the bag might be a bit too much. I’m looking forward to the store opening in Kirkwood. It’s not too far from work…I bet I’ll be visiting them more than I think!
B & B says
Actually it’s easier to cut frozen! You just need to have a good knife. It slices straight down 🙂
Angie @ Musings of a Violet Monkey says
Michelle – I’ve frozen sliced “toaster sized” loaves (whole loaves, as well as half of a loaf) and taken them back out – and they are just fine. I haven’t taken out slices off of a frozen loaf – that might be too much. But freezing the sliced loaves works beautifully! I keep them in the GH bag and then wrap gently in aluminum foil before putting in the freezer.

Mary @ Bites and Bliss says
I know you’ve been featured in a few magazines..but that still must be totally awesome to be in there!! It’d feel a little surreal.
Lea @ Healthy Coconut says
My farmers market has mangoes and tomatoes already, I’m very happy with that. I can’t get enought mangoes these days. I have added them to my quinoa salad.
Hope the spring produce is coming your way soon.
[email protected] says
coool you’re in Breathe! never read it but that’s awesome 🙂 so interesting to see different weather all throughout the states. In Cali, the weather is confused right now hahaa. have a beautiful day Kath
Averie (LoveVeggiesAndYoga) says
Buttered Cran Orange bread looks awesome and what a perfectly cooked egg, too!
Congrats on your article. I love my friendly bacteria and have been eating my probiotics, fermented foods, i.e. kefir, kombucha, kraut, and making them at home for years…I feel good with bacteria 🙂
aimee says
Love the title of your article!
Holly @ The Runny Egg says
Lunch looks delicious — egg on salad is a great choice!
It was pretty brisk/windy here this morning too. I can’t wait for it to warm up!
Rachel says
I tried a fried egg on top of my salad for the first time today.. I was kind of freaked out by it but ended up loving it!
It’s a little warmer in Raleigh today but so windy that I don’t think being outside would be very enjoyable. I’m about to take the dog for a walk and find out.
chelsey @ clean eating chelsey says
I love seeing bloggers’ published works!! So cool. That magazine looks so “you” – really clean lines and organized!
Lunch looks amazing!
Dee says
Oh my! How do you get your eggs to look so perfect?! I want to grab some through the screen! Lol.
Chelsea says
your lunch looks amazing!
I’ve been loving on sunny side up eggs lately too! I’m having an openfaced egg sandwich with cheddar on sourdough tonight with a side salad! Yum!
kaila @ healthy helper! says
i picked up to ww cranberry bread today…freshly made from the market….in honor of the yummy gh orange cranberry you’ve been having! It’s delicious…..but probably not as good as the real GH stuff!
Reka says
Winter coat and 45? Be content, because it’s snowing in Ohio!!! At least you have sunshine, right? 🙂
So jealous. I desperately need some vitamin D!
Kate (What Kate is Cooking) says
That weather is ridiculous! I wish I could share some warmth with you 🙂
Christine says
I bet it’s so awesome to see your name in print like that!
Jessica Comstock says
Good for you, biking in the cold like that! At least you had the sun 🙂 I can’t wait for our Farmer’s Market (Olympia) to open on the 7th. Rain or shine, I’m going . . . but probably not by bike if it’s pouring.
Katherine: Unemployed says
biking in the cold is rough! you’re such a trooper
Chelsea @ One Healthy Munchkin says
A fish CSA sounds amazing! It can be SO hard to find local fish. I can’t wait to hear more details about that!
Sam says
Why isn’t just body pump +biking enough???
KathEats says
Because I had yet to truly break a sweat?
Angela @ Eat Spin Run Repeat says
Hehe you look like you’re trying so hard to enjoy the “spring” weather there Kath!! Congrats on that article. I too am enjoying eggs these days and just made a great asparagus frittata for dinner. YUM! Have a great night!
Annette @ EnjoyYourHealthyLife says
Release 77 BP is totally hard and a killer workout–we’re releasing it next week-stoked to teach it! Your lunch looks fab 🙂
Kelly says
hey kath!
question: what did you do to make your sweet potato beans and rice? thanks!
KathEats says
The recipe was in this post:

Allison @ Happy Tales says
ahhh I love it!!! “ohhh, you know,just did 20 mins on the stairmaster at the gym… reading an article in a magazine… *about myself*… no big deal” !!!!!! Love it!!!!!!! And yes, today was kind of a chilly one here, too!
Cait's Plate says
Ugh – I definitely feel like all I’ve been doing lately has been pretending it’s summer! This winter just feels interminable!!
That egg dish looks AMAZING but I think it’s the bread that steals the show 🙂
Hilary says
Pretending it is summer…sounds good to me! And congrats on the article!
stace says
I remember you saying that about the sun and rain at the same time, in your accent vlog, it was the first time I ever heard that but apparently it is a widely known story.
Kathleen @ KatsHealthCorner says
Congrats on your article!! Do you publish with them often?
KathEats says
Yep! Bimonthly now and features sometimes
Kathleen @ KatsHealthCorner says
That is so cool!!! 😀
KathEats says
Thanks! I’ve been doing it for a long time now (it used to be quarterly) 🙂
Marissa says
Congrats on having your article published! I will check out Breathe for sure. You are an inspiration; after reading your post, I did a Google search to find out if my new city has a Farmer’s Market. It not only has one, but some local organic farmers are having a FREE organic gardening 101 class tomorrow!! I am totally going.
Justeen @ Blissful Baking says
I wish I could read your article!
Julie says
Any thoughts on over the counter probiotics, such as Align? I am curious. Just clicked over to Breathe and read the article.
KathEats says
I’m not trained to prescribe – only recommend real food. I’d ask your doctor about probiotics in pill form.
Melissa @ Journey to Marvelous says
Breathe looks like a great magazine…I’m going to check it out! 🙂
