New design unveiled!! I have more work to do on it and am being pulled out the door ASAP to go to a Panther’s football game with Matt’s dad. Bad timing to unveil because I didn’t have time to do all the tweaking I wanted, but I’ll be back at it this evening!!
Running with Caitlin was great – I ended up doing a speedy 10K and another half mile or so of walking. You know i had to do 6.2 miles on my last day of being 26!!! It was a great run!! I covered nearly 7 miles at the end.
Afterwards I went by Fresh Market for coffee!! I think their coffee is some of the best there is and I was ecstatic to find Pumpkin Spice and two holiday flavors on sale – Peppermint Creme+ Christmas Blend, both of which sound to-die-for!
Also got festive with a nice round pumpkin!
Lunch was a birthday ideal: all of my favorites into a tasting plate!!
Sweet potato fries with maple for dipping
Kashis
Cinnamon apple
And some celery + PB
Fabuloso
I’m having to push my shopping to tomorrow – can’t turn down free tickets to a game.
Look for me on TV!!!
Jenn (www. j3nn.net ) says

love the new layout!
Ashley says
Love the top banner photo =) I finally got those spoons from c+b and got some for my mom too =) I agree about TFM’s coffee!! I actually used to work there in college…and I was in charge of the coffee/candy department…so I was basically shaking everyday I worked…from the sugar + caffeine, hehe 😉
Lori (Finding Radiance) says
The new design looks pretty. Very natural.
Nice pumpkin, too!
Hope the Panthers lose (sorry) – I have dinner riding on that game and picked the Bills (heaven help me).
Janna (Just Flourishing) says
LOVE IT! Love the spoon… and the bananas, it’s very you.
Horray for pumpkins. I’m off to buy some mini ones myself today.
Hope you have fun at the game!
Diana says

Tasting plates like that are such a great lunch; I always feel so satisfied after!
christie @ honoring health says
Hooooray for thesis!! It looks awesome!

Whitney says
I wish I could have made the run, it sounds fabulous! I love your pumpkin, but then I love all pumpkins. Happy early birthday! Hope the game was fun.

The blog looks great! I’m expecting to see that you chowed down garlic fries and a dog at the game 🙂
amanda @ fake ginger says
the new design looks great!
Kara says
The site looks great!
Jess says
I love the new design!! Just a suggestion — under the KERF Sponsors where the Foodbuzz ad is there is a ton of wasted space once you scroll down and takes up a lot of space. Just a suggestion to put your recipes and recent comments under the space the sponsors are to open up the page a bit.
Jessica @ How Sweet It Is says
Love the new layout!
Jess says
I love the new layout! It has a great feel to it and I love how much space there is!
That tasting plate looks SO good! YUM! 🙂
Molly says
I love the layout!! It’s very home-y and comforting.
(Also love the cake on the right!!!)
Claire says
I love your new design. The header is PERFECT….oats, bananas, and nut butter in the tiny spoon, so Kath! 🙂 Hope you have fun at the football game…I’m a bit jealous!
Cara (Cara Craves...) says
Lookin’ snazzy!
Sarah @ The Foodie Diaries says
Love the new look!
maria says
New design is looking good!
Sheila says
Well, there is no header on your page as I see it here, so I can’t comment on that; it’s just blank. I like the way the blog used to be,where you just scrolled down and down without havindg to click on previous posts to see them. Too much trouble. It’s so much easier to keep scrolling down to where you see you had previously read and clicking only when you get to the end of a long scrolled page. Does doing it this way count as another hit for you every time someone clicks onto another post even though they are already on your site?
Sophie says
Woahhhhh Love the new header and I know the tweaks are going to make it even better!
I love my Fresh Market pumpkin too! Can’t beat 3 for $10!
Samuel says
Was wondering about the clicking and counting header too…..I prefer scrolling down to clcking too….
Happy Bday-is it 26 or 27?Wish I was a youngin’ still 😉

Oh my gosh! This design is GORGEOUS – just like you, Kath!!! I’m so proud of you for learning all that stuff so you could do this, too. Way to go, girl!!!!
Hugs,
Michele
lynn (The Actors Diet) says
congrats on the new design! it looks great.
Nicole says
Love the design!! In fact it’s so good that it makes me forget the old banner, which makes me kind of sad.
Wendy says
The header doesn’t show up on my computer either! 🙁 What I can see of the new theme looks great, though.
Adi (oatonomy.com) says
I’m digging the new layout – it’s refreshing.
Have a fantastic birthday!
holly says
LOVE LOVE LOVE the new header!
Cynthia (It All Changes) says
Nice new design. Looks very “you”. 🙂
I love flavoured coffee more than regular because I don’t really like coffee.
Enjoy the game and celebrate!
Stacey says
Have fun at the game! We just bought new coffee today too 🙂 Jas and I went to a Panthers game last year, but seeing how they are doing this year, I think I’m gonna hold off on the ticket-buying! But I’d take FREE tickets anyday haha 😀
Maggie says
The new design looks great 🙂 LOVE the 26! Happy early birthday!
Emily says
Love the new design, Kath! I’m thinking about upgrading my site sometime soon, but I’m not sure how I want to do it.
Your coffee selections sound fabulous. You got me all excited about the holidays, now!
Stephanie says
I’m not sure if I’m missing something, but I see a BIG white space at the top of the page – like where a header is supposed to be.
I’m using IE8 on a widescreen laptop (windows xp).
Sarah @ See Sarah Eat says
I love the new design! Have fun at the game 🙂 And have a very happy birthday tomorrow! I’m already 27 and it’s an awesome age to be 🙂
Sarah says
I love the interesting food ideas … but I worry that your blog is really just a record for an eating disorder with the meticulous way you chronicle everything you put in your body. Have you ever seen a therapist about this? Take care of yourself girl!
Lizzy says
i love the lunch plate! i love simple meals like that!
Anne [email protected] Weigh of Life says
The lunch plate looks great-what a great idea!!
Sheila | Live Well 360° says
YAY for Thesis. I use this theme too and love it.
