Susan B.

Susan B. Anthony came over for breakfast

IMG_4559-2Blog

We discussed all the wonderful things about being a modern woman. Also what Lucy Stone was really like, public speaking tips, keeping last names, temperance, reproductive rights and of course, suffrage. She’s a pretty cool gal!

IMG_4547-2Blog

And she really enjoyed overnight oats! She wished things like chia seeds had been available in her time. They were her favorite part.

IMG_4551-2Blog

1/3 cup oats, yogurt, chia seeds, salt, cinnamon, banana, milk = overnight

Blueberries, Cville Cluster + a spoon of sunflower butter = toppings

IMG_4555-2Blog

IMG_4550-2Blog

Breakfast was served with chai tea for two. But Susan did not care for it – she prefers English Breakfast

IMG_4542-2Blog

IMG_4546-2Blog

Headed to the bakery!

    Very funny – what a great way to start the morning. I think I hear “I am woman, hear me roar” playing in the background. 🙂

    I have a question for you about chia seeds – you always seem to add them to your oats, and also to other things as well. I’ve noticed that many other blogs that I read also feature chia seeds in so many recipes. What exactly are the health benefits of eating chia seeds? I’m just wondering if their nutritional merits (which I’m presuming they have, or you would not be eating them) outweigh the added cost. I’ve been making your overnight oats, but haven’t yet purchased chia seeds. I really feel like I’ve learned a lot about healthier eating from reading your blog, and I appreciate that you take the time to answer questions. 🙂

      Hey Patricia, I’m new to the “seeds” as well – they are nutrient rich and high in dietary fiber. As well – they have a “bulking” effect – similar to flaxseed – so they can be used to make doughs and stuff thicker. Kind of like how people would you a “flax egg” instead of an egg to act as a binder in bringing ingredients together when baking or whatever. Some people add them to their smoothies in place of xanthan or guar gums to create a thickening effect.

      Just my 2 cents.

      🙂

      Hey P,
      I eat chia seeds for their texture – I just love the gelled/furry/thick texture they give to things. The nutrients are just a bonus. If they didn’t have the texture, I’d probably only use them every now and then like I do flax.

    one of my majors in college was women’s studies; it’s sad how many strong ladies i know today who think of “feminism” as another “f word.” i love that you incorporate these politics into your daily posts without shoving an agenda down your readers’ throats 🙂

    I have been eating a lot of yogurt for breakfast topped with berries and granola because it has been so warm here in Northern Texas! But as soon as it begins to cool down I will most definilty have to try to add berries to my warm winter morning oats! This combination sounds delicious! 🙂

    Hi there-

    What are your thoughts on the fact that your current last name still hints at a patrilineal line?

    Just curious!

    Reply
    • KathEats says

      July 27, 2011 at 3:05 pm

      Ehhhh, since I was born to my mom with her last name of Younger, I feel 50/50 mom and dad and not patrilineal in identity. But of course I do wish it were all equal just for the sake of women who felt pressure to change their name for society’s sake.
