Jenna and I came back and crashed last night – after organizing our swag that it! We collected some really cool stuff but I have to figure out how to get it all home.
After 7 hours of rest, we used the code word "blog" to indicate that we were awake and ready for some healthy breakfast. Jenna made me one of her Amazing Grass smoothies, which I eat KERFishly in a bowl 
- 1 scoop of chocolate Amazing Meal
- 1 frozen banana
- Big handful spinach
- 1 tbsp almond butter
- 1 cup 1% milk
Topped with some Frog Hollow Farm granola and posed on the famous Healdsburg floor

Senses Are Awake!
Remember when I participated in the Quaker Awaken Your Senses challenge? I didn’t win 🙁 But these three are in the semi-finals: Catherine Mc Cord of Weelicious, Jen Yu of Use Real Butter and Laura of Laura’s Best Recipes!

Kristin @ Iowa Girl Eats says
Have a great day in Healdsburg with Jenna and in San Fran. I’ve loved seeing all your pictures this weekend – SF is one of my favorite places and seeing all the sights again is great!

Leah says
Loved that Gather article. It was very honest and beautifully written. “Foodover”–I’ll have to remember that term. I totally know what you mean! Here’s to a more even squiggly line 🙂
Lauren @ Eater not a runner says
I love your ups and downs article, I find that the biggest thing I struggle with is consistency! Also jealous of that green smoothie!
Joelle (The Pancake Girl) says
Haha I would want to have my Amazing Grass in a bowl w granola, too! Have fun in San Fran today!
SB says
Enough about you and your fabulous trip and your much-deserved award ; ). How is your husband’s poor face? (p.s. congratulations. I’m really happy for you.)
Chelsea says
I’m SO excited!
Chloe (Naturally Frugal) says
It’s so fun that you get to reunite and see Jenna’s new place. I definitely need to make it down there to go wine tasting, it seems like an awesome experience.
Also – love your Gather posts, they are great and I read every one!
laura dishes says
I absolutely love the picture of your breakfast on Jenna’s famous wooden floor! The trip to Healdsburg looked like so much fun– we go to Napa & Sonoma every February, but it is even more gorgeous this time of year!
kay (eating machine) says
love the floor pictures! 🙂
Julie says
Love the gather post. “No one is making me indulge at those events, so why can’t I just grow up and eat moderately and consistent with my weekday habits? ” This spoke to me. Little kids eat candy, ice cream and cookies till they’re sick, not adults. I’m slowly coming to the realization that I need to be in control of my actions when it comes to food. I need to be more consistant. Thanksgiving for me usually means I can eat whatever I want (especially desserts) because it’s the holiday and I can get back on track Friday. But this year I’ve already made the decision to treat it like any other dinner, not a big feast where I need to eat everything.
Beth @ DiningAndDishing says
CONGRATS Kath! Just read the full re-cap of the weekend and it looks soooo amazing. Your win was very well-deserved!!
Estela @ Weekly Bite says
Enjoy your last day! San Fran is the best!
Food Makes Fun Fuel says
A SIAB must be so good in that weather!
Chrysta says
Enjoy your lat day. Sounds like an amazing event to have attended!
lynn (The Actors Diet) says

G. says
Hi! Just FedEx your stuff home. I usually take a slip from the office when I go to conferences. I take one for each service we use, and then choose the best way. If nothing else, Mailboxes Etc. (or whoever they are now) will set you up. Have a good trip back.
Cait (Cait's Plate) says
Have fun in Healdsburg! I can’t wait to see the pictures – everywhere you’ve been looks so picturesque! PS – Tell Jenna that GM looks AMAZING!
Mama Pea says
I always eat my SAIB KERFishly now. You are so Rachael Ray making up acronyms and adjectives for those acronyms. This comment is LTTTish (Lamer Than a Turkey on Thanksgiving).
Madeline @ Greens and Jeans says
I had a smoothie in a bowl when my mom was here and she thought it was crazy until she tried. Gotta love that my mom eats her smoothies KERF style!
Jenna says

Beautiful pictures. The “word” “kerfishly” has to go though.

You ladies and your Amazing Grass… Love it! 😉

Bowls! Practically anything that can be eaten from a bowl tastes good. And it’s so much more fun that way. 😉
