Nestled In

I discovered this morning that our new porch loveseat has a cute-as-a-button button hole that is the perfect resting place for a bowl!

No tipping there!

The nestled bowl was filled with cereal, again. I think my maternal instincts must be kicking in to love Morning O’s so much 🙂

I also filled the bowl with shredded wheat, banana, blueberries, chia seeds, a drizzle of honey, a few dried cherries and milk! Plus Sarah’s homemade dripped honey roasted peanut butter. Tastes a bunch like my own favorite honey crunch pb.

But what is it about cereal that makes you wanting bowl after bowl! Probably just because it tastes so darn good…

    • Actually, where I live (northwest Ohio), bluberries seem to almost always be on sale 10/$10 for a pint (practically all year long!). Too bad, because I don’t like ’em raw…

  6. Cereal is one of my favorite nighttime snacks, and it is so hard to stop at one bowl!! I started putting it in a teacup/mug so I can fill it up twice :p

  18. I love your porch furniture Kath! And I agree on the cereal being addictive. I swear, I could eat it forever without feeling full. When I was a kid, I was all about the Trix, Corn Pops, and Froot Loops (why on earth did my mum EVER let me eat those!?) My wiser and older tastebuds are also much healthier, so it’s Kashi and Nature’s Path for me now. Have a fantastic day!

  22. I love those button spots, they hold my oatmeal bowl perfectly as I wrap myself in blanket and get cozy! haha

    I haven’t had cereal in so long! Yours looks delicious!

    • I wondered this (because of the suspected Kate Middleton pregnancy!) and asked my doctor and he said there was no reason to avoid it based on the research. Said it was a good source of protein and women have been eating PB during pregnancy for centuries.

      • To my knowledge (having just done OB rotation in nursing school) there is no contraindication for peanut butter for a pregnant woman. Peanuts do have more inflammation causing proteins, but there hasn’t been any indication that it causes any sort of risk during gestation. Munch away! That bowl looks SO GOOD… I’m going to have to go get some cereal now while I study.

        Babies shouldn’t be given peanut products until they’re older because of the likelihood of developing an allergy- again, inflammatory proteins… same with eggs, dairy milk, etc. A huge no for babies is honey- clostridium botulinum spores can hang out in honey and while safe for older kids/adults, it can cause paralysis of the diaphragm in a baby and knock out respiratory drive.

        Pregnancy foods to avoid: Caffeine (linked to low birth weight and SIDS), lunch meats and hot dogs (nuke thoroughly if you’re going to eat- listeria risk; not so bad for mom, pretty bad for baby), alcohol (duh), raw/smoked fish (food poisoning risk), undercooked (rare) meats. Some docs recommend no drippy eggs, either- depends on the doc.

  24. Cereal is probably one of my all-time favorite foods, but I rarely buy it because I have no self control with it! 🙂
    I’ve been making peanut butter like crazy lately, trying out different kinds of peanuts. I need to start mixing it up and adding other things in, like honey!

  26. Hello,

    I really enjoy reading your blog. I would like to know if you purchase Chia seeds ground or not.

    Thank you and have a nice day!

  29. I’m glad to hear you say that about cereal because I LOVE it but find that I can only eat it for a snack because it just doesn’t hold me over like oats and yogurt do in terms of breakfast! It makes me so sad!

    Looks like a wonderful breakfast nonetheless 🙂

  40. We just had Great Harvest for the first time at the new location in Plano, Tx! I was so excited to finally try all the delicious things I see on your blog. Yum!! Can’t wait to go back again and try more!

  42. I have been wanting cereal vs oats more and more each morning too, only I know that I can’t be pregnant. 😉 I attribute my craving to wanting something cold and thirst quenching since the humidity has been zapped from the air in our house! This morning was Optimum Blueberry Cinnamon with frozen blueberries, sliced banana, strawberries and almond milk.

    Your breakfasts are always so pretty!

  43. Kath, belated congrats on the pregnancy!! When will you be launching the new blog? I’m very excited about it (we’re starting to think about babies 🙂 )

  45. Kath, I am trying to find the post where you comment on what you avoid in cereal ingredients. For some reason I remember you mentioning something about protein isolates? Am I crazy?

    I’m wondering how healthy my Kashi Go Lean really is. The ingredient list seems longer and more complicated than I’d like.

    Thanks!
