All I wanted on the agenda this morning was a kick-back bowl of breakfast enjoyed with some House Hunters. Mission accomplished!
Strangely despite the near-freezing temps (and still no heat turned on in here) I decided yogurt and cereal sounded really good.
I do not recommend preparing breakfast next to an open box of Oatmeal Squares. I think I had half my breakfast before sitting down! [Thanks to Allie for the exciting birthday gift!]
Crunch crunch
The Mix
- ~2/3 cup Quaker Oatmeal Squares on the bottom of my bowl Meals and Miles style! I loved putting the cereal on the bottom and yogurt on top – it was much easier and more fun to eat!
- ~2/3 cup plain yogurt
- ~1/3 cup pumpkin
- Pumpkin butter
- Chia seeds
- Half a banana
- Coconut butter drizzle (the peanut kind by Tropical Traditions I received to sample)
The bold and the beautiful:
The bears were quite energetic after I gave them their honeycomb yogurts:
Today we have a picnic planned and dinner with my uncle and cousins coming to town!
Steph says
I’ll have to try the cereal on the bottom! I always put mine on the top and the dang cereal is always trying to escape from my bowl.
holly @ couchpotatoathlete says
I hope it warms up a bit for your picnic!
I love Househunters — what a lovely way to spend a morning!
Alina @ Duty Free Foodie says
Love House Hunters on the weekend! We had a fire going in the fireplace last night. It ups the temps quite a bit until we turn the heat on.
Jessica @ How Sweet It Is says
It is so cold here too… I had to break down and turn on the heat!
christina cadden says
Love that chair and those bears are so cute!
Foodie (Fab and Delicious Food) says
I love picnics, even in chilly weather! Have fun!
Meg says
I want some honeycomb yogurt and to play with the bears! 😉
It’s FREEZING here in Maryland, so I can only imagine what it’s like in VA as well. Yikes! Bring on the hot bowl of pumpkin oats 😀

A picnic sounds so much fun! Have a great day!
Krystina (Organically Me) says
I never thought to put cereal first, I should try it.
Meaghen says
I love oatmeal squares. I always forget how much I love it. It’s definitely my favourite non-sugary cereal!
We haven’t turned our heat on either. I’m using my laptop on my lap as a heater! 🙂
Heather says
I always layer cereal on the bottom of the bowl – love the crunch at the end! Quaker Oatmeal Squares are one of my favorites as well.
No heat here as well – that’s what sweats and blankets are for.
Enjoy your picnic!
Camille says
I loove cold, bundle up mornings 🙂 Stay warm!

Your breakfast is Halloween-colored! 😀
Just sayin’.
PS: I think I love the smallest bear the best. He’s got my style down pat.
Casey says
Kath, have you seen the pumpkin spice granola at Trader Joe’s? I’m not sure about the nutrition, but it’s delicious!
Allie (Live Laugh Eat) says
It’s GOOD!!!! I’ve seen the same granola in bulk sections too.
Kath says
I haven’t!! I’m not near a TJ’s anymore. Is it worth seeking out!?
Casey says
I like it 🙂 I’ll send you some if you want me too! TJ’s just opened in Greenville, so excited!
Kath says
Aw you don’t have to. I will look for it!
Allie says
I’ve never tried yogurt with cereal, but that sounds yummy!
Easily Inspired says
Just started following the blog! I love your pictures. I mean, how do you make breakfast look this pretty? Amazing! Oh, and the thing that jumps out about these pictures to me is your spoon. I want one!
Kath says
Welcome!! And thanks!
Gina says
I always put yogurt and cereal together, love it. And I know what you mean with oatmeal squares, I’m so bad with mindlessly munching on them too!

I love cereal and yogurt together but I have never thought of putting in the cereal first! I will do that from now on. Have fun at your picnic. Picnics are always fun 🙂

Cereal and yogurt was my favorite breakfast for about a year and a half. I had it every day and it never failed to get me out of bed in the morning!!!

I thought that cereal who wholemeal gnocchi at first and I thought “pasta with yoghurt? That might actually work!” 😛

Cereal on the bottom is the only way to go. 😉
