Not just another manic Monday – the last manic Monday!!!
And just another pancake Monday
I showered and got ready in my dream bathroom (more on that later!) while Matt created some ‘cakes.
I was in charge of turning the coffee pot on 
Two of the pancakes were turned into "dough balls" of battery. Oh my heavens…
The others had nutz and flax
Topped with the good stuff – banana, coconut butter (which is now solid again since Karen keeps her air down low!), a tsp of Biscoff, and a drizzle of Sunflower butter. [Note I said drizzle – I am obsessed with the texture of this stuff!]
I have never been one to be that obsessed with pancakes – obviously oatmeal has been my love. But these pancakes are a million times better than any others I’ve ever had. Not sure if it’s the Great Harvest mix (probably!), the TLC that goes into Matt making them for me (probably!) or the multiple textures and toppings he combines (probably!) but they are my new favorite for sure.
The kitchen table has the worst natural light in the house – have to figure this one out!
Breakfast fer 2.
Off to work – with a shorter commute! Today is my first day of staff relief, which means I get my own floors and will have an RD signing off behind me. Excitement!
Little Bookworm says
Those pancakes look great. Hope you have a good day!
Cassie @ Tasteful Tales says
Good luck today! Nice breakfast to start the day 🙂
Olivia R. says
That looks soo yummy! I’ve never been huge on pancakes-more of a waffle girl. But I want to try those! Are they vegan?
OH, and I agree, sunbutter is the most drizzle-able nut butter of them ALL.
Kath says
No, they require egg
Jessica @ How Sweet It Is says
Your last Monday! Very exciting. 🙂
Freya @ Brit Chick Runs says
Gosh I LOVE that mug!! And it’s official – I want my own pancake Mon/Sun/Random Day – it looks SO yummy 😛

Lindsay @ Summit Sandwiches says
Wow. You’re so close to being done! 🙂 Those pancakes looks so thick and hearty…that’s my favorite style of pancake!
Hannah says
Wow, congratulations! You’re becoming a super elite RD! 😀 Sometimes you can see the resemblance between Matt and Karen so clearly in these photos!!
Mary @ Bites and Bliss says
Have fun today!! and I like how the whole “taking a picture on the floor” thing. Glad to know I’m not the only one who’s done it! 😀 haha
Lauren @ eater not a runner says
I have to say those pancakes look delicious!
Katherine says
just so we can feel a little bit of relation- my counter tops have a similar granite pattern. Horray for monday being crossed off the to do list!
Marisa (Loser for Life) says
I’ve never been too thrilled with pancakes, but Matt’s look awesome! And filling!
Good luck today!
Wei-Wei says
Oh, those pancakes look absolutely amaaaaazing! They never fill me up, though. 🙁 But I guess Great Harvest is awesome for its own reasons 😀

WOW, I’m not a pancake person but those look amazing. Maybe even better than oatmeal 😉 Nah, nothing is better than oatmeal, but I’m sure those tasted as fabulous as they look!
Sarena (The Non-Dairy Queen) says
Well good morning to you too! Dang those pancakes look like a great way to start your day! My favorite is oatmeal for breakfast and pancakes for dinner. I was already planning on having a date with pancakes later today! Now I have to after seeing those! Have a great day!

Those pancakes are yummy. You could take your pictures out on the deck, that’s what I do and it’s the best light.
Anna @ Newlywed, Newly Veg says
Have a great day– sounds very exciting! Glad you got a good breakfast in to keep your stamina up!
Marina says
I’m glad it’s the last manic Monday for you. But I hope pancakes will continue, they always look so amazing.
Emily says
Good luck with staff relief, Kath! It was definitely one of my fave parts of clinical, and I felt like a real dietitian, going to rounds, talking w/ physicians and residents and wearing a pager. 🙂 You’ll love it!
Nicole says
The lighting looks like it would be awesome if the table was moved just a bit closer to that door! It could probably provide some beautiful side lighting!
jenna says
congrats on making it to your last monday! 🙂 Karen’s condo looks so fun!! she’s so hip!
Laura @ youngDCliving says
What a fun, swanky apt!
foodandfarm says
will you be selling said pancake mix when you open GH?
Kath says
Yes
Kelly says
Yay for your last Monday! The end is in sight! I have the same problem with lighting in my condo. We have one whole wall made completely of a gigantic floor to ceiling window but the kitchen and dining room table are on the other side so I’ve started doing some photographing in the floor next to the window.
Robyn @ Frugal 'n' Fit! says
Happy last Manic Monday!
Dee says
Your breakfast looks delish! Good luck on your day today! 🙂
Brittany @ A Healthy Slice of Life says
Matt’s pancakes always look so GOOD! Do all Great Harvest Bakeries sell the mix?
Kath says
It’s not required but many do have it.
Heather says
Wow those pancakes look awsome! Does Great Harvest just have the one mix is it called anything special I think I need to get some !!!
Have a great day!
Heather
Kath says
I think it’s just “Great Harvest Pancake Mix”
Sarah (Running to Slow Things Down) says
Oh exciting! Staff relief seems like such an accomplishment. I can’t believe how fast your internship seemed to go by (although I’m sure it felt longer for you 😉 ).
The pancakes look delicious!! I haven’t had any in ages, but it’s definitely one of my favorite of breakfasts as well. 😀
Kerri says
Good Luck at work! I know that feeling as I did an internship as Speech Language Paathologist in the hospital.
Amber K says
The pancakes look SO good!
Jenny says
Biscoff on top of pancakes!? Yum!
Morgan @ Life After Bagels says
Yay Kath – count it down. You’re almost done!
Cynthia (It All Changes) says
My mom has Sun Butter and I was suprised at the way it drizzled even out of the fridge.
[email protected] says
Sounds like a great start to the week! Have a great day!
Allie (Live Laugh Eat) says
Take it outside, girl!!!
TJ’s SSB is the bomberzzz!!!! I eat it like yogurt. It’s so scoopable, spoonable, forkable, lickable.
Evelyn @ cheers2healthy says
Good luck today!!
Jessica @ The Process of Healing says
Good luck today! And those pancakes sure DO look amazing!
Hannah says
What does the Biscoff taste like? Looks interesting!
Kath says
Like a christmas cookie ginger snap spread
Vicky says
Those pancakes look so good!! And I just found the recipe for your kale chips and I LOVE kale so I have to try them! Thanks 🙂
Kath says
CooL!
Nicole, RD says
The pancakes look amazing! I remember getting my own floors during my internship…I was sooo excited! Have fun!

How exciting that it’s your last Monday!! Awesomeness. You’ve worked so hard, Kath.
Heather (Heather's Dish) says
i can’t believe how close you are to finishing your RD!!! congrats Kath!
Courtney @ Sweet Tooth, Sweet Life says
I struggle with terrible lighting in my house too – I have yet to find a “decent” location unless I’m outside.
Can Matt come over and make pancakes for ME?!? 🙂
Hillary [Nutrition Nut on the Run] says
My apt. dining room has NO natural light – so annoying. Happy LAST Monday!
Laura says
i’ve never been able to make pretty pancakes despite the fact i LOVE them and used to make them alot! xx
The Wife of a Dairyman says
Pancakes look delicious! Where oh where can I find coconut butter?! YUM!

Jess (Nurse Jess the Blog) says
HA! As I’m reading your post I’m just finishing up MY Monday pancakes and I’ve been singing that song in my head the whole time! Great minds must really think alike…
Lisa @ Early Morning Run says
Such a cute kitchen and your breakfast looks delicious!
Nancy says
Karen has such a beautiful condo! She is living THE LIFE!!
Marissa says
Pancakes are soooo good! I’ve always loved them. Of course, that might be due to the fact that I can drink an entire bottle of maple syrup straight up, so…
Shari says
Kath,
I had to tell you this funny story, because I thought you’d appreciate it. The other day I was at work, and when I went on break I noticed someone had brought in a ton of old magazines. The one on the top was Woman’s World or something like that…and there was you on the cover. It was from like 3 years ago!
Kath says
HILARIOUS coincidence!!
