Good morning to you, you smell like a zoo!
I think I could end every evening eating a nice dinner, watching So You Think You Can Dance and eating watermelon followed by 30 minutes of reading. Perfect evening! Did you see Caitlyn and Mitchell’s Celine Dion contemporary? LOOOOOOVEEEED it. Mostly because “To Love You More” is one of my all time favorite songs! (Right Larbs!?) Gives me chills every time. Larbs and I can perform a mean duet to the tune. I think I’ve watched the dance 10 times already! It was so flowy and the choreography went PERFECTLY with the music!
This morning, another perfect combo:
Scottish cottage cheese + blueberry oats with muffin top!
Plus Grandma Candy’s Jam and sunflower butter
The last of my GH iced coffee
Delicious!
Today is a typical Friday:
- Blog work
- Body work
- Bakery work
- Downtown play!
Molly @ RDexposed says
This is the only muffin top that girls invite into their lives. YUM!
Dee says
Ha! I love this comment. Seconded.
Hope everyone has a good Friday!
Krissy @ Shiawase Life says
Hahah! So true.
Kiran @ KiranTarun.com says
Haha! I had the same thought to comment – but y’all beat me to it 😀
The Teenage Taste says
Blueberries are so fresh and juicy this time-of-year I can’t help but eat them with everything! Yesterday I threw a few handfuls of blueberries into my lunchtime salad and it was delicious! The perfect pop of sweetness. 😀
Lisa @ Sunny Seed Stories says
I haven’t watched this season yet! I prefer to wait until it’s over so I can watch the whole thing en masse on Hulu. Heh. Excited to know it’s a good one, though!
Laura @ Sprint 2 the Table says
I love cottage cheese in my oats – the salty with the fruit on top is a match made in heaven. 🙂
Hillary says
Oh, Celine Dion. You get me every time!
Holly @ The Runny Egg says
I watch SYTYCD very rarely but I always enjoy it — I don’t know why I don’t watch it more!
Cait @ Beyond Bananas says
I’ve done the body work and blog work. I am currently doing the teacher work.. and then am playing at the yankee game tonight!
What is the difference between scottish cottage cheese and.. the regular kind?
KathEats says
Scottish oats + cottage cheese
katie @KatieDid says
happy happy friday 🙂
faith says
Gorgeous dance and dancers…that song though…seriously?! I love you BECAUSE you’re a cheeseball, not in spite of it. 😉
KathEats says
THE SONG IS AWESOME!!
Cait's Plate says
My good friend is obsessed with SYTYCD (she’s a dancer herself) and I’ve still yet to watch it. I love Dancing with the Stars though (less because they’re stars and more just because I love to watch dance) so I’m sure I’d love it as well.
Also – nut butter + jam on my oats is one of my favorite combos. AND! I made banana nut muffin top oats inspired by you the other day! It was awesome 🙂
KathEats says
If you love Dancing with the Stars (which I do not like!) you will LOVE SYTYCD!
Cait's Plate says
Alright, you’ve sold me on it! I’ll give it a whirl (no pun intended!) 🙂
Joanne says
I like the last one on today’s list: “downtown play”. Have fun 🙂
Sarena (The Non-Dairy Queen) says
I have such a list of things to do today…I am so behind on EVERYTHING! I hope you have a great day Kath!
Baking 'n' Books says
I love that your Friday evenings are downtown and out. Reminds me of when I always looked forward to the end of the week and the weekend!
Ashley @ Coffee Cake and Cardio says
Have a very, very happy Friday!!!
Angela @ Eat Spin Run Repeat says
To Love You More is one of my faves too! In fact, I think I might just have to pull it up on Youtube right now!
Michelle (The Runner's Plate) says
I love pairing iced coffee with hot oats!
Katie @ Nourishing Flourishing says
Now all I can think about is iced coffee…and we’re out! Ahhh! Enjoy one for me!
Laura @ Cookies vs. Carrots says
I watched their dance on Wednesday night. It was so beautiful and moving! Definitely one of the highlights of the season!
I also loved the ‘Fashion’ dance!
KathEats says
I did too and couldn’t BELIEVE they were in the bottom 3!!
Claire @ Live and Love to Eat says
I think you need more play! 🙂
Liz @ Tip Top Shape says
I liked that dance a lot, too. My favorite was Ryan and her partners, though. It was like something out of a Tim Burton movie. I loved it!
KathEats says
See two above!
Margo @ peanut butter trees says
Those oats look great, as does your Friday line-up!
Jennifer says
Every time I see you mention “muffin top” it reminds me of the Seinfeld episode. (haha) Hope you have a great Friday!! It sounds like you will. 🙂
Angel7 says
You always make me thirsty for an iced coffee, but unfortunately, I cannot have one. When I went to make one the other day, I knew our coffee maker was not working, but I thought it might just give me a little coffee. Well, it did not. We need to get a new coffee maker soon, so I can make an one.

Aine @ Something to Chew Over says
Yum! Happy Friday 🙂
Stephanie @ Food and Fitness 4 Real says
I am two weeks behind on SYTYCD because of vacation last week and need to catch up on my DVR. Now I want to fast forward to this week just to watch this dance. I was a cheerleader/dancer for many years and wish I could still move my body as graceful as the dancers on the show.
I had muffins for breakfast too. Last night I let my kids bake chocolate chip banana muffins with me so this morning we could all have a fast, healthy breakfast. Yummm, I love muffins.
Gina @ Running to the Kitchen says
great song 🙂
Jenny @ Fitness Health and Food says
Have a wonderful Friday!
Seeing your delicious iced coffee always makes me crave some even though I gave it up long ago! 😛
tara @ the pleased plate says
I actually have a very light to-do list today. I am going to fully enjoy this fabulous Friday! Love your inspiring sight!
Sarah says
yay for Fridays!! Work then play! Have fun!
Krissy @ Shiawase Life says
Yay for Fridays! Oh, I made banana pancakes this morning! Soooooo yummy. Still full, too – 3+ hours later!!
Julie H. says
Oh Kath! You make a muffin top look goooooood! 🙂 HA!
Kristen @ Change of Pace says
Looks like you’ve got a big day planned. Excellent breakfast as always 🙂
courtney (pancakes and postcards) says
I would just LOVE, just once, to have one of your typical fridays 🙂 Have a great day!
Jeni @ stepping out says
I love sytycd! I thought the fashion dance was incredible but I predicted that they would be in the bottom 3. Quirky dances no matter how good usually end that way.
Anyone else notice how they’re sending partners home? I thought for sure it would be Tadd but chris got the ax…
KathEats says
Yes, although I when I really think about the dancers individually they are still the two I picked to go home. I was surprised by Miranda last week – I thought they would choose Ashley. But this week, both Ashley and Chris had 2 mediocre weeks in a row, so I wasn’t surprised. I was TOTALLY shocked that Alex + Sasha were not in the bottom 3. I’m not a big fan of Alex.
Natalia says
Your breakfast today definitely makes me want to own my own cottage 🙂 Something about the decor, the linens, the oats…
Emily @ One Sweet Vegan says
I always love seeing what you do on Friday evenings. I live vicariously through you!
Rae says
LOVE SYTYCD!!! Could not believe that Jordan and Tadd were in the bottom 3 though…I think its crap theyve gotten stuck with the waltz twice-they need a better number! It seems that the weaker choreography really has screwed some of them this season.
Katie says
Happy Friday!
Love your agenda for the day!
What play?! I love plays : )
KathEats says
Play is in frolic!
Angela (Oh She Glows) says
Im totally hooked on SYTYCD this season. Its the first season Ive ever watcehd too! Dancing is so beautiful…Im completely captivated and so moved by many of the performances.
I loved that dance you linked to. My FAV performance was Clarice and Jess…..so funky and intense! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DyWpw4tTucQ
KathEats says
I loved theirs too! I really like Jess 😉 And I love that you watch the show!
lynn @ the actor's diet says
happy friday! it feels like i’m in a time zone i forgot what day it was!
Jess @ atasteofconfidence says
Ah I loved that dance, too. It was gorgeous!
Foodie says
Sounds like a great Friday… enjoy!
J3nn (Jenn's Menu and Lifestyle Blog) says
The muffin looks so good on top. 🙂
Kate (What Kate is Cooking) says
This looked so delicious that I added a muffin to my oats this morning too 🙂
Karen says
Ahhh…blueberries! How I love thee!
Fridays just feel extra fun during this sweet spot of summer, no?
Have a beautiful day, Kath!
Jacqueline @SmartSolitude.com says
Wish I could have that muffin 🙂
Summer @ Well-rounded Hippie says
That sounds so good!!!
Averie @ Love Veggies and Yoga says
Can’t believe it’s Friday already….Friday play..that sounds great!
I am commenting from the airport. Headed on a trip this weekend. I am playing south of the border this weekend!
Glad you enjoyed your iced coffee. It’s a daily occurrence for me 🙂
Katelyn @ Chef Katelyn says
SYTYCD is my addiction. I love Caitlynn (not just cause we have the same name). I can’t wait to watch it on Hulu!
Hayley @ Oat Couture says
Do you know I have never tried cottage cheese! Shocking I know, and I have no idea why?! I keep seeing it everywhere on blogs recently so I think it’s a sign that I should buy a tub! 🙂
becca (bellebottoms) says
goodness gracious, I never saw a muffin top that looked so good! 🙂 haha
anne says
“To Love You More” is one of my all time favorite songs too!!
Annette @ EnjoyYourHealthyLife says
I had muffin top atop my Smoothie IN A Bowl, and it was amazing. With a drizzle of Sunflower butter as well 😉
Sarah @ Sarah's Modern Bites says
I SO need to watch SYTYCD!!! I LOVE dancing… watching good dancing makes me tear up. Seriously, it’s so weird! haha My sister is obsessed with the show and I always seem to miss it 🙁 Love the coffee in that wine glass? Is it a Reidel glass? I love drinking pretty much any beverage in wine glasses… makes it seem a little more elegant. have a great weekend Kath!
KathEats says
It’s a Pottery Barn stemless
Chelsea @ One Healthy Munchkin says
I wish I had the patience to sit through dancing shows like that… I always get so bored! 😛
Kristin @ eat healthy. be happy. live well says
So jealous that you got to watch SYTYCD!!! We don’t have cable, so I have to wait until it is posted on Hulu to see it! Hope you have a great Friday!
Kristi @ Hiding in Honduras says
<3 iced coffee….looks great in the stemless glass!
Mama Pea says
I must point out the correct lyrics 🙂
“Good morning to you, you live in a zoo, you look like a monkey and you smell like one too!”
Phew, I feel better now. 😉
KathEats says
Doesn’t it start with “Happy Birthday To you!” Maybe you should sing it to PeaDaddy!
Mama Pea says
You are right. I am so embarrassed. 😉
KathEats says
Lol.
Emily says
How do you make scottish oats with cottage cheese? Do you cook the oats and then add in cold cottage cheese?
Thanks!
KathEats says
I make Scottish oats per usual (1/4 cup oats, lots of water, 1/2 cup milk, 1/2 banana, salt, chia seeds) and stir in 1/3 cup cottage cheese near the end of cooking
Chelsey @ Chew with Your Mouth Open says
That breakfast looks amazing! I also want to know how you made the scottish oats with cottage cheese. YUM!
Namaste Gurl says
I had cottage cheese- blueberry oats, too this morning for breakfast. Except I followed Ashley’s liquid method and as always, had a bowl of overflowing oats, hehe 🙂
Happy day!
KathEats says
I add tons of liquid to scottish oats too!
karin says
breakfast looks divine:)
Holly says
I am so jealous that you can just nab bits and pieces of muffins and breads to use at home with your breakfasts and dinners! I would LOVE to crumble blueberry muffin into yogurt or oatmeal for breakfast, but that means I have to bake a dozen (which I love to do) and then eat or freeze the rest before they go bad! (Almost) all by myself, since my hubby isn’t a big baked-goods eater… I try not to keep a lot of that stuff in the house because I WILL eat it all by myself!
Christena says
Love SYTYCD! My favorite dance of all time on that show was the “Butt Dance” from the ’09 season, I believe: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iY8aPKhlL24
So cute!
Lindsay says
LOVE SYTYCD! I saw the live show in Columbus, OH a few years ago…rocked my socks! And being a dancer myself, last summer I was able to take class with Mia and Tyce! Mia was everybit the phenom I wanted her to be! Her class was so inspiring and beautiful:)
KathEats says
WOW!!!!!!!!!! Very cool!!
Brittany @ Itty Bits of Balance says
Is there a trick to putting cottage cheese in your oats? I tried it once but the taste was extremely bitter 🙁
KathEats says
I’d blame the brand of cottage cheese. Organic Valley and Whole Foods Organic are my favorites
Hannah says
The muffin looks almost like it’s floating on top of the oatmeal!
