I have a lot to do before we leave for Savannah and Jacksonville this afternoon, so I had a simple bowl of cereal for breakfast.
me&goji, some leftover Special K, soy milk.
And cantaloupe.
I’m trying to use up our fresh foods! I have a ton of strange things to combine for lunch.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TINA!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Off to mow the lawn!
brandi says

Holly (The Healthy Everythingtarian_ says
YEAHHHHH for the blog summit!
You can bet I will do my best to make it to Boston in August – woowoo! Safe travels to FL!!
Brittany says
What exciting NEWS!!! The Blog Summit sounds like so much fun and it’s so cheap. I going to look up flights to see how expensive they are from VA to Boston.
Elizabeth says
Yay for blog summit! I can’t wait!!
Have a great trip Kath! I’ve always wanted to go to Savannah….
Megan (The Runner's Kitchen) says
So excited to hear about the blog summit! I’ll have to research the NYC –> Boston Bolt Bus schedule 🙂
Mara @ What's For Dinner? says
Congrats on pulling all this together! It looks like a huge undertaking!
Don’t forget to enter my coconut oil giveaway!!!
Kristin @ Iowa Girl Eats says
Have a wonderful trip – I heard Savannah is absolutely gorgeous!!
Suzanne says
Aw, too bad you won’t be coming to Jersey! I could have brought you to Franklin Lakes to see if we’d get a glimpse of the Real Housewives. lol. That show cracks me up. I’m a Jersey girl myself – but I am so far from how they are on the show. 🙂 Theresa is my fave as well. I can’t stand Danielle either!
I have a question about becoming a vegetarian. I want to cut down on beef and poultry – but would still like to consume some amount of fish, eggs, and dairy.
I have tried slowly to replace/incorporate certain things. For example, coconut milk. So Delicious just came out with coconut milk in a carton, and I have been using that in place of my Skim Plus Lactose Free. What are the benefits to using coconut milk instead of cow/soy/almond/rice milk?
I am concerned about not getting enough calcium. But, someone recently told me that you can get all your calcium from vegetables. Is this true?
Thanks, Kath!
ittybittyaa says
OMG, I’m so excited. I just posted on Jenna’s blog, too. I really hope to meet you ladies! How exciting is this????
Katharina says
Good morning, Kath!
The Summit sounds so exciting. Boston is beautiful 🙂
I thought I would share this tidbit with you. Not sure if you already know this. So I know you LOVE oatmeal, but now that it’s getting hot, the last thing you want is a hot breakfast. Well recently, I’ve been adding frozen fruits to me bowls. The other day I just took from cherries I had on hand, de-pitted them, and stuck them in the freezer. Next morning I made the most delicious bowl of oatmeal (I’m gonna post the recipe on my blog later, I’ll let you know), and it was cooled down by the frozen fruit. So you can still have oatmeal in the summer without breaking a sweat!
Take care, and I hope you have a wonderful weekend.
Tammy says

Jordan @ Salt Sweat Sugar says
I live and work in Jax so I sent you an email with my phone number in case you have time to meet up for lunch or something. I’m pretty busy with work and father’s day, but depending on your schedule, I could probably make time =]
Sarah (Running to Slow Things Down) says
The Summit sounds too cool…I hope it can work out that so that I’ll be able to go. 😀
Bec says
sounds like it will be a fantastic weekend!
Lydia says
Would you ever consider moving to Boston?!
Casey @ Double Scooped says
I am hoping I’ll be able to get a ticket!! I think those babies are gonna sell out faster than your goods in Meghann’s bake sale!
Heather @ Health, Happiness, and Hope says
That’s so exciting about the Blogger Summit! I know you guys have been working so hard on getting all the detail ironed out. I’m sure it will be fabulous! 🙂
That cantaloupe looks DELICIOUS!!! Have fun mowing!
Ally says
Nice work Kath!! I love the way the logo banner looks too.
Maya says
I wish I could attend! But only 125 people…I’m sure reservations will go fast and I’m not sure that I can make it to Boston, but it sounds like a great time!
Serena says
Sounds great! Since I can imagine way more than 125 people will want to go, and the servers for registration will be busy on registration day, are you considering a lottery type registration?
Rachel (Rachel's Work Bites) says
Congrats on getting together a Blog Summit! How fun!
leatitia says
I would LOVE to go to the Summit, but I have a bachelorette party planned on the 15th! Plus, I just checked Airfair and they’re horrible (over 400$, Montreal-Boston).
But I wish I could go, really. I wish you the best of luck and many registrations!
rebecca says

Natalie says
The Summitt sounds so amazing! I hope I can make it 🙂
Jess says
I rather enjoy attempting to use up food before vacation. I come up with lots of fun little meals.
Kath says
Suzanne ,
I don’t really know the benefit comparison between coconut milk and other milks. It depends on the sugar, protein content and calcium content, so look at the labels and judge those.
It’s pretty hard to get calcium from vegetables because it is much less bioavailable than from dairy and animal sources. I would recommend a supplement if you’re going to be 100% vegetarian. But if you still include milk and yogurt and fortified milks, then you’ll be better off.
Katharina ,
If I didn’t have really sensitive teeth to cold, I would love that!
Blair ,
Thanks for de-lurking!
Lydia
I LOVE Boston, but it’s way, way, way, way too cold for me.
Serena ,
We are likely going to open registration on a weeknight at 9pm so east and west coasters would be more available. It may be a wild evening. I wish we could have afforded to do 500 people 🙁
rebecca ,
Send me an email please. KathEats at Gmail.

Erin says

Meg C. says
Kath,
Definitely take Rebecca (comment 35) up on her offer if you can! I just recently started going to Prana Power Yoga and it is great- I recommend it!
Jenn Eats Nutritiously Now says
The conference sounds so fun! You wouldn’t happen to be holding a contest for a plane ticket there and back, would you? 😉
thepinkpeppercorn says
Looks like fun! I wish I could go, but I am already away then!! Have fun!
Kate says
AHH! I NEED to go to Boston! Hahah.
Kath, is there an age requirement for attending?
Melissa says
I am so excited about the Blog Summit. I live in Boston and was just telling my boyfriend that I would love to meet you and get more info about living a healthy lifestyle. I’m definitely going to keep reading to see when registration opens!
Kath says
Jenn Eats Nutritiously Now,
Maybe…
Kate ,
Nope!
