Stars and stripes forever!
Highlights of my day: your breakfast post comments, a hard Body Pump class, a warm home in which to work, a sunny porch [including a new fan, lots of white paint and skylights!], and lots of stripes!
And this lunch!
Sunny side up with smoked paprika
A hunka Spinach Feta, my new fav!
Roasted sweet potatoes [which I roasted in the same oven as the curry last night – multitasking heat!] and spiced pecans, spinach and balsamic
Dessert!
See y’all!
Health Bee says
So happy to hear that the house is warm again. Hope the renovation work is close to completion. BTW, love the skylight.
Laura @ Sprint 2 the Table says
I love eggs on salad. I just made a big batch of pesto and have been swirling that in eggs – it’s the perfect salad (or burger!) addition.
Susan H. @ the food allergy chronicles says
Stripes, stripes and more stripes…love it! Stripes brighten everything up! Love the green scalloped edging on the green tea towel. Nice detail to note.
Brionna says
We had a pretty much an identical lunch today! Great minds think alike 🙂
Karen says
How did you roast the sweet potatoes? Did you just coat them with a little EVOO and put them on a baking sheet? Looks great.
KathEats says
Cubes coated in EVOO, cinnamon, cayenne and salt on a baking sheet for about 30 minutes.
KathEats says
At 400* !

Kelli H (Made in Sonoma) says

katie @KatieDid says
such a gorgeous ceiling. I have great beams in my bedroom I grew up in with big skylights. I love the airy feel it gives a room!
Rebecca @ Naturally Healthy and Gorgeous says
Roasted sweet potatoes are the best and so healthy too!
Hilliary @Happily Ever Healthy says
I love how bright and sunny your porch is! And love all the stripes!
Maria @ Sinfully Nutritious says
I love the porch!!!!!!
The spinach feta sounds amazing. Can’t wait to see the basement pics.
Emily says
mmmm… Roasted sweet potatoes…
Ashley @ Coffee Cake and Cardio says
I was never a fan of stripes when I was a kid (I had the “stripes make you bigger” stuck in my brain) but now I love them!
Christine @ BookishlyB says
I’ve never had an egg on a sald before. I’m weird about textures and just can’t go there… I think I need to live a little and try it (since everyone else in the world has). Oh, and that fan on the porch is great.
Annette @ EnjoyYourHealthyLife says
oh how I LOVE clementines!!! SO tasty 🙂 and of course BodyPUMP is awesome too.
kathleen @ the daily crumb says
spinach feta? yum!!
i am loving your idea of plopping an egg on top of a salad. such an easy way to sneak in protein and those healthy fats. for some reason i never thought to do this!
Angela @ Eat Spin Run Repeat says
I had “egg salad” –> (as in eggs on my salad) today too! You’ve just reminded me that I need to pick up a crate of clementines on the way home.. ’tis the season!
Lynn @ the actor's diet says
One of my movies was shot in black and white and the director loved the way it looked so much that’s all I wore the whole shoot! I can’t buy anymore bc of it.
Alison says
OK- you are killing me smalls! I am dying to see this porch complete! I have such porch envy I cant stand it. I live in a tiny house in Charleston SC and would love a porch like this. I’m so excited for y’all.
Jessica Thi says
I just bought a box of clementines yesterday! They’re the perfect sized fruit and sweet like candy. And every time I eat one my head starts singing the song: “Oh my darling, Oh my darling, Oh my darrrrrrling Clementine”
ashley says
Sweet potatoes and bread (together) are in all of my meals lately.
Add some yogurt and dessert to that palate and that would be a nice idea for a small meal.
Kathy W. says
LOVE those socks! Could I ask where you got them?
KathEats says
I think they are GAP
Elisabeth says
I LOVE those, too 😀
Christine @ Oatmeal in my Bowl says
I am not big on eggs, but your salad looks wonderful!
TeenyLittleSuperChef says
It’s funny, I’ve eaten hard-boiled eggs on salads numerous times but never thought to fry one and stick it on top. Sounds yummy! Your porch looks pretty bada**, by the way. So pretty
Averie @ Love Veggies and Yoga says
Love the ‘egg salad’ and I love writing on photos…you always get nice and creative with your pics. I…just get done with LR3 editing and that’s about all I can manage 🙂
Happy Friday!
Sarena (The Non-Dairy Queen) says
Favorite meal ever! Never gets old! Enjoy your afternoon! Oh and love the stripes!
Heather @ Run Eat Play says
I love stripes too! That spinach feta bread looks amazing!
Katie says
Absolutely love your stripes, porch and lunch!
Clare @ SweetnSimple says
Love your salad 🙂 And those socks are too cute!
Jennifer says
Your porch is just BEAUTIFUL! I don’t think I’ve ever seen one like it.
Meagan says
I love the stripes!! Cool lines 😉
[email protected] Broken Cookies Don't Count says
Tasty looking salad~ Love the stripes!
Lena @Fit on the Rocks says
Your porch is coming together so nicely!
Ava says
I’ve always thought stripes had such a nautical feel, don’t you? Love them 🙂 And during the Christmas season they hearken up images of candy canes and whatnot . . . so festive and bright. I can always count on your blog to be bright and merry, regardless of the externalities of this bustling, harried, frosty season. Keep up the good work!
Chelsea @ One Healthy Munchkin says
My lunch today involved eggs and a clementine too! I’ve been going through clementines like crazy lately!
Kiran @ KiranTarun.com says
I agree with Averie — you are so creative with your photos.
BTW, thanks for visiting my blog and leaving such a cute comment. Love ya! 😀
KathEats says
Google reader made that easy!
Gina @ Running to the Kitchen says
Love that gray striped towel!
Jodi says
Me too!
Allyson says
Those socks do remind me of my hs days.
Katie @ Talk Less, Say More says
I’m not one who’s crazy for eggs but that looks super delicious!!
~Christy @ wonderofallthings says
You are the stripey queen! Love it 🙂
Roxanne says
EXTRA, EXTRA Read all about it!!
Careful on how you choose your stripes! Wear your stripes the way you want people to see you!
Vertical (up and down) will slim you, horizontal stripes (sideways) will make you appear a little “bigger” or fat!
healthy ashley says
Gorgeous post and gorgeous meal! You inspired me to roast my sweet potatoes. They’re great as salad toppers!
Thanks for showing some encouragement on my blog. xoxoxoox
Katie says
Oooh I love stripes so much! I love those socks with the itty bit of read on the toe. That spinach feta bread sounds pretty darn good, too.
Ali says
Thanks for the tip re: the extension for Chrome. I played around with my settings before I installed it and I noticed that if you click on the “super settings” tab (in your Google blog reader) and then check “full entry content” you can also get the full experience (with header/ads, etc.). With the Chrome extension, it seems I have to click the “link” tab every time I read you feed, but with the “super settings” tab, that feature sticks around permanently for all blogs in your reader.
I hope it still counts towards your pageviews? I didn’t realize that reading through an RSS feed didn’t give you an accurate count of how many people were reading – not cool!
Ali says
Aaand, I just realized I left this comment on the wrong post! Comment fail!
Melissa says
I think you’re in the right post… but I can’t find this super settings thing! help?
Ali says
It may have only come up as a feature once I downloaded the extension, but I don’t think so. When you open your blog reader (in Chrome), you have to click on one of the blogs, and then it comes up as a button right above the space where the blog is read – to the right of the “feed settings” button. Hope this helps!
Amanda says
I love everything stripes! *Also, thanks for the google reader tips, downloading now!
Julia H. @ The Petite Spiel says
The white paint really brightens up the porch–so close to being done! How much is left until it IS done officially??
KathEats says
We just have staining and painting for them to finish up
Sam says
I love the gray/white/yellow stripe napkin!! Mind if I ask where you got it? Also LOVE your porch.
KathEats says
It’s from Target!
And thanks!
Angel7 says
I love the white porch! It is very bright, and a great place to go to to unwind 🙂

J3nn (Jenn's Menu and Lifestyle Blog) says
I haven’t had a runny-yolk egg on salad in the longest, I need to rectify this. 🙂
Cheryl says
I know you get this all the time — but I LOVE your posts. Your pictures are beautiful. Thanks for giving me something to aspire to!
KathEats says
Thanks Cheryl!
Khushboo says
Exceptionally great photos in this post 😀
KathEats says

Christina says
Just came to say I get it. I did my first body pump class today, and I totally get it. I’m a bit sore, but totally ready to go back for another one.
KathEats says
🙂 So glad!
