I wrote two recipes for O Magazine’s October issue – pumpkin recipes!

October issue. Go read it in the grocery store line!

So excited to have a gym buddy!! Sara (who is renting our old house) and I have been meeting for classes all week. We were going to run today but it’s raining 🙁 So we met for a yoga class instead.

The class was really basic, really slow and really cold! A bit disappointing. No music. No flow. I was too cold to even get a good stretch (and I had on long pants!) I don’t mind slow yoga classes – I would just really like the room to be at least warm if I’m not going to be building heat by movement.

I got home around 1:30 and a had a few Cville Clusters for an appetizer while I showered.

Lunch was a leftover No Bull burger topped with K+M and some cheese, plus cabbage leftovers – with more cheese and a drizzle of honey! <—that was good but I’m done with cabbage till next year thankyouverymuch.

Corn joined the party too

    How exciting to see your name in O magazine, let alone develop recipes for it!!!! I’ll definitely check it out.

    My plans changed for the day due to a minor accident, so I won’t be able to stop by the bakery to visit like I had planned on 🙁 Maybe next time I’m down there! Hope you have a great weekend!

    Awesome work!

    I read “burger topped with K+M” and thought, “Why is she putting herself and Matt on the burger?” Maybe I was thinking that because of the K and M letters you just hung up? Oops! Then it struck me…ketchup…and…mustard. The gray day up here must be affecting my brain!

    Congrats on your article, that’s huge!!

    I know what you mean about cold yoga classes…I go to one on my lunch break once a week, and I have to put on the layers both top and bottom to get adequately warmed up…the teacher always tries to use the heater, but people in the class complain that it’s too warm! (I call shenanigans) bot oh well, can’t win ’em all 🙂

          …except that yoga is actually not “exercise”, it is intended to be a spiritual practice and not just about getting sweaty and toning your abs. There are plenty of yoga studios that have more exercise-like classes, which is fine, but it’s important to remember that that is not actually the point.

            I agree with you generally speaking…except this class is pretty amateur and at a gym…I have taken wonderful spritually-based classes with the chants and meditation, etc and we were definitely encouraged to put on layers and be comfortable for that part. 😉

    Kath that’s amazing and major congrats!!!!!!! Wow, what an honor!

    And slow AND cold yoga classes are not fun, at all. Sorry you had a blah experience. I know how it is wanting to get a nice flow going or good workout and when it doesnt go that way, not so fun.

    Have a great weekend!

    congrats on the article!!! So exciting 🙂

    I am planning to *finally* sign up for the gym this weekend!! The gloomy weather this week pushed me over the edge, I need some workout options other than running. Too bad about your yoga class today. I’ll have to get recommendations for the good classes from you!

    I just happened to pick that issue up today. I enjoyed reading the pumpkin recipes but didn’t notice who had written them. Guess I’ll need to be more observant in the future.

    No need to go looking for O mag. Just google it and type in the great pumpkin by kath younger and both recipes pop up. Pumpkin Pancake recipe sounds yum-o. Congrats Kath!!!

      Yeah, it’s a clustery granola from our bakery. We did 2 rounds with OpenSky (1500+ bags of granola) and so we’re taking a break. I’m sure they’ll be back in time.

    Saw the recipes on the O Magazine website! I need to start making some pumpkin pancakes ASAP. I was just at TJ’s and they had the mix, but I walked away. Now you’ve got me wanting to get back there and remedy that huge oversight!

    Congratulations on the magazine! 🙂 That is so awesome! And for pumpkin recipes- double awesome! 🙂 Sorry about your yoga class. Doesn’t sound too fun. I want to find a good yoga class soo bad! My attempts at home with my kids crawling all over me just don’t do it. 🙂

    Hahaha! I LOL’d at your recommendation to “Go read it in the grocery store line!” Wonder what the publishers would say about that! 🙂 Regardless, super exciting!

    I hear you on the cabbage thing…

    Not trying to be overly critical here, but I was a bit disappointed that you would use a boxed pancake mix in this recipe. Surely you could have been more creative than that, given the fact that you and your husband own a bakery and he is clearly an exceptional baker? I’m sure he could have helped you with a delicious pancake recipe of your own. And, as a proponent of “real food”, I think it would have made more sense for you to encourage a handmade recipe rather than pushing people to boxed ingredients. Just my two cents.

      Point noted. I think on the flip side most busy women don’t have time to make pancakes from scratch, so magazines are often looking for quick and easy ways to tweak something basic

      No wayy would I even attempt the recipe if it required me to make my own mix. Even if its the most simple thing ever. I think that in order for the recipe to be practical, Kath felt the need to simplify it. When youre a freelance writer, you need to modify your recipes for the target audience.

        Agreed. Before I had my daughter, I thought I would be the mom making everything she put in her mouth from start to finish. Reality hit and that just isn’t always possible. I try to make it happen as much as I can but some times having something quick is so helpful!
