Busy as a bee, per usual!!
Post-work, pre-yoga snack – munching while on a quick business call!
Emily and I met for a 45 minute walk. Our Thursday walks are SO CALMING! We just chit-chat and all seems quiet on the western front. Like when I biked the other day, life just seems to slow down as we talk about fun things and our summers.
After walking, we went inside for yoga! Class was awesome!! Here’s a sweaty Emily, me and our new friend and instructor, Sarah after class!
I came home a starvin’ marvin’ and made a simple breakfasty dinner.
Red, Green, Yellow
A sunny side up egg on a Kodiak Cake! Topped with a little Organic Valley Sharp Cheddar –
I made the Kodiak cake a bit too runny so it was almost crepe-like!
Broke the yolk
Served with some simple raw veggies (I have a hard time feeling satisfied at lunch and dinner if veggies aren’t involved! Probably psychological – but could be physical!?)
With Don Sabrosa’s Peach, Blueberry, Honey Salsa – DELICIOUS!
Rockin the Table In A Bag set-up!
This was a great dinner! Matt was out tonight so I ate solo – with a little Glee! I’ll have to finish it in the AM, but I got to Puck’s solo and he was HOT!
Going to take an Epsom Salt bath as my post-yoga cleanse and crawl into bed to try to get in just a few pages of my book read…
Nite!
Jessica @ The Process of Healing says
That sounds good!! I’ve never had an egg on TOP of a pancake before, yum!
Michelle @ Give Me the Almond Butter says
I finally watched an episode of Glee and lovvvved it! I’m glad the walk was great. They can be so peaceful and calming 🙂 Have a great night Kath!
Heather (Heather's Dish) says
i’ve never thought of a pancake with an egg on top, but it sounds amazing 🙂 and i need to get my greedy hands on some of that chedda’ 🙂
Cynthia (It All Changes) says
I definitely need veggies for lunch and dinner. Otherwise I feel starved.
Beth @ Beth's Journey to Thin says
I looooove breakfast for dinner – especially eggs and pancakes! Delish!
Coco @ Opera Girl Cooks says
Egg + pancake + cheese?! I’d never have thought of that and it looks delicious!
Food Makes Fun Fuel says
Sounds like a relaxing night. How nice!
Camille says
I have never had an egg on top of a pancake! Sounds like a great combo though 🙂
Jessica @ How Sweet It Is says
You may have inspired my breakfast for tomorrow!
Erin (Travel, Eat, Repeat) says
That Larabar flavor sounds fantastic–I can only find like three flavors at my Trader Joe’s. 🙁
kate says
I feel almost wrong for thinking some of the guys on Glee are hot. But Finn is like 26 in real life. Certainly not illegal!
Lisa @bakebikeblog says
What a lovely dinner 🙂 So creative!
Jenn (Jenn's Menu and Lifestyle Blog) says
Tiny dinner! Love the snow peas, though! They’re so much fun to eat. Runny egg yolks rock, too! 🙂
Jenn
kelli says
I am the same way If I don’t eat veggies at lunch and dinner I don’t feel right!
Sarena (The Non-Dairy Queen) says
LOVE Epsom Salt bathes! They make you feel so good! I took one two days ago and it really rejuvenates you! Enjoy your bath and your peaceful evening. Oh, I second that a meal is just not complete with a vegetable (or a fruit)!
Allie (Live Laugh Eat) says
I’ve been on a fried eggy kick lately. Runny yolk is so slurpy 🙂
[email protected]://stacey-healthylife.blogspot.com/ says
The pb cookie Larabar is one of my favorites. The pbj is also amazing and you would love it.
lynn (The Actors Diet) says
that looks like a terrific dinner – i love it!
Claire says
What a relaxing night..I am jealous. Have fun!
Mara @ What's for Dinner? says
I have a total thing for Puck.
Your dinner looks great! I love pancakes and eggs 🙂
[email protected] Two Lives, One Lifestyle says
Peach blueberry salsa??? That sounds glorrrious. Glad you fit a nice calming night in!
Rachael says
Must make honey salsa. I’m thinking I’m gonna make a pulled chicken recipe to incorporate it properly…thanks for the inspiration!
Marisa (Loser for Life) says
That Larabar is my favorite flavor!
I wanted an egg for dinner tonite! I went with a taco salad instead, now seeing your egg, I’m sad I didn’t have it!
thatShortChick says
I love how you make all of your meals so colorful! ever since I’ve started reading KERF, I’ve learned the importance of incorporating veggies into most of my daily meals 🙂
I completely SWOONED over Puck’s performance on Glee this week. it totally made me see him (his character) in a different light.
Hannah says
No fair, you’re ahead in Glee in America! We only just had Mercedes’ Beautiful song episode last night… But I love it so I’ll forgive the country-time difference.
Love you pancake-crepe-egg combo! Very inventive 🙂
ari says
RIGHT! HOW HOT IS PUCK!
so sexy.
Cassie @ A Very Busy Mind says
I’m the exact same way about veggies. MUST have them with lunch and dinner. Just doesn’t seem right without em!
Stacie says
I love that you used the term “starvin’ marvin”! It’s something my parents always used to say. I just looked it up — and lots of “South Park” stuff came up. Something tells me my parents didn’t get it from there. 🙂
And I agree – Puck was super cute this week!
Brittany says
Aw starin’ marvin’ reminds me of my childhood. My mom used to say that all the time.
I love eggs for dinner and yours looks particularly tasty. And that Peach, Blueberry, Honey Salsa – yes PLEASE!!!
Sarah (Enjoying One Meal at a Time) says
That looks so good. And that salsa… looks so yummy! Your post yoga bath sounds like it would hit the spot, enjoy 🙂
Heather @ Health, Happiness, and Hope says
What a perfect afternoon, and that dinner looks fabulous! A little bit of everything. 🙂
Lindsay @ Summit Sandwiches says
Sometimes, you just gotta have some raw veggies in your life. It’s fun tasting the actual natural sweetness of vegetables on their own without being all gussied up with oils and vinegars and such.
Hillary [Nutrition Nut on the Run] says
Alright, I’m convinced…I need a Table In A Bag for outdoor dining & blogging this summer =]
Talia says
Hi Kath, I’m a big fan of your blog! I don’t know if you’ll be able to reply to this, but I just wanted to comment somewhere, because I thought maybe you could help me. I’m a 14 year old girl and I have struggled with my weight the past couple years. I feel horrible saying that because I’m so young! And I wouldn’t say its my eating habits, because i don’t like most processed foods, and my family loves healthy food. I think the reason is we are on a budget now, and many healthy foods are too expensive for us. We still try and eat fruits and veggies, and avoid HFCS but I know our budget affected my waistline. I still exercise, but I WISH i could eat the way you do! Do you have any suggestions?
Mastering Public Health says
I’m not Kath, but I saw your post and wanted to offer a few words. I’m sorry to hear that your family is going through a challenging time. 🙁 Eating healthfully on a budget can be tricky, but can be made easier with a few tips. Sites like Coupons.com, SmartSource.com, and RedPlum.com offer free online printable grocery coupons that are changed regularly; MamboSprouts.com also offers natural/organic online printable coupons. Also, I’ve found that food companies usually either have links to coupons on their web site or will gladly send some your way upon request. Keep an eye out for store fliers/sales and try to combine these with coupons. Fresh produce is usually not too expensive, and buying from “bulk” bins (i.e. ‘scoop-your-own’-style oatmeal, rice, nuts, beans) can also save money. Baking/making your own bread, muffins, veggie burgers, etc. can be very cheap and long-lasting — just remember to freeze all this + any meal leftovers so they can be eaten later! It seems like your family’s eating habits are on the right track; try sharing these ideas with them and see if they help. (I’m not sure if you’re on Twitter, but I often post about healthy coupons @MasPublicHealth.) Good luck, Talia!
Kath says
Excellent suggestions already by MPH!
I was going to suggest bulk bins, beans, and frozen veggies. One of the most nutritious and cheapest foods in the world are dried beans. Eating healthy on a budget requires one important thing: prep time.
Here’s an article I wrote on the subject!
http://www.readbreathe.com/plan-more-spend-less-healthy-grocery-shopping-on-a-budget/
And here’s one from Sparkpeople:
http://www.sparkpeople.com/resource/nutrition_articles.asp?id=511
And one on the Diet Channel:
http://www.thedietchannel.com/Eat-Like-A-King-On-A-Budget-A-Healthy-Diet-Doesnt-Have-To-Be-Expensive.htm
Do you have a farmer’s market nearby? Often the product there can be cheaper than that in the grocery stores. And I’d stick to choosing the in season and on sale fruits and veggies – check your grocery store website, which often tells you what’s on sale that week – and plan meals around them.
And in 2008 I did a Thanksgiving Challenge to keep groceries under $126 for the month. Here’s the before and after:

They’re whole grain, “just add water” and delish!

Emily- Inside/Outside says
Glee! Can you believe Puck’s hair is gone?

Kodiak cakes = favorite and I am pretty sure that flavor lara bar would be a new favorite. It seems like they are coming out with lots of great new flavors!
Jil @ Peace, Love & Munchies says
