Room With A View

The nursery even looks better from my own bedroom now, and I enjoyed the sunny view from bed this morning!

IMG_8963-2Blog

I also really enjoyed this bowl of Strawberry-Banana Cottage Cheese Oats! Whipped banana oat base with 3 big sliced strawberries stirred in along with about 1/3 cup cottage cheese just before removing from the heat. If you leave the cottage cheese on just a bit more with heat, it melts and makes the oatmeal a bit more soupy, which I love! If you like yours thick, remove from heat just after stirring it in!

IMG_8959-2Blog

I topped it with homemade granola, Sunbutter and one taste of my homemade coconut butter, which tastes like coriander and some other spice (in my head only – it wasn’t contaminated) and I am dumping it. That’s two dumped recipes this week. So sad. But also not worth putting to my lips!

Sippin’ on tea. Still Christmas around here.

I’m working tomorrow, so it doesn’t feel like a Friday, but it makes Saturday night all-the-more special!

    Woah! I have a really similar mug that was a 16th birthday present from my little sister way back when. She said that 16 means you must start drinking coffee haha!!
    But it is the same colors–purple on the bottom, green around the rim. Just a different shape.

    That is the EXACT bowl of oats I was GOING to have this morning, but changed my mind last minute to a blueberry bagel with peanut butter cream cheese & a grapefruit. Now I want more grapefruit.. soo good! Have a beautiful day, Kath! 🙂

    Such a bummer when a recipe does not turn out how one expects it…I hate to waste but then again if it doesn’t taste good…I don’t want to eat it either! lol Love the cloth from Ikea…I just picked up a colourful napkin from Crate and Barrel that I just LOVE…covered in brightly coloured birds and flowers…so pretty, it brightens my day!

    Just a thought, if you haven’t already dumped it — would the coconut butter still work for savory dishes, especially if used for cooking?

      Maybe… But I really don’t like the flavor : ( id be afraid of ruining the dish!

    Fun to throw new linens into the mix! Beautiful breakfast — I’ve been off of the oat train for about a week and am getting geared up again. It seems it goes in cycles for me. But I love it every time I find my way back. 🙂

    Good Morning Kath. i too love lying in my bed looking at the sun rise out of my bedroom window. Then sitting in my kitchen and watching the sun set against my lake.

    Added a new fruit to my oatmeal. I chopped up a pair and put it in with some cinnamon spice instant oatmeal and added some Land o Lakes cinnamon sugar butter. It’s like a pear tart with a crumble topping. YUM!

    I know I have to cut back on the sugar. make small changes so they don’t overwhelm me. See you for lunch! LOL

    I tried the cottage cheese in my oats but it either curdled or it didn’t melt properly..what is the secret??

    • KathEats says

      April 13, 2012 at 10:48 am

      Well they are curds, so they should stay curds in there. The curds just get dispersed throughout. If you cook it a little longer, it will melt more so there are less of them, but not completely

    I love bowls so I have to ask you Kath – Is that bowl from a Bobby Flay collection at Kohl’s or did you get it at TJ Maxx or Home Goods? I saw one a while ago that looked similar but can’t remember where…and am kicking myself for not getting it then 🙂

    I have such a hard time throwing away food. However, when food smells, tastes or looks funky, that is a sign to toss it.

    Love the cloth!
