Happy Saturday!
Cold strawberries might be good, but warm strawberries are better!
Especially when paired with lightly heated High Five bread, sautéed bananas, chia seeds, coconut and Naturally Nutty Cinnamon Vanilla Sunflower Butter!
I just put the strawberries in a dry hot skillet and let them wiggle around in there – they let out juices much like mushrooms would and because soft and succulent. They were fabulous, and my sensitive teeth thanked me!
Coffee #3! I like #1 best, Matt likes #3. Uh oh!
I had hoped to go for a run this morning, but my body is feeling pretty stiff from all the lifting I did yesterday, I’m kicking it back until tomorrow. Maybe I’ll do some yoga when we get home this afternoon.
We’re on our way out soon to stop by the farmer’s market and then attend a wine blending class at Jefferson Vineyards!! And we’re having a get together tonight with more Jefferson wine – I’m going to have to spit some today!
Amanda says
This looks like a wonderful way to start a Saturday! 🙂 hope you have a great day!
kaila @ healthy helper! says
Now thats my kind of toast! Loaded up with yummy things!
Sauteed banana sounds fabulous!
Lisa Fine says
Yum! I love the idea of warming up strawberries, and they go so well with bananas.
I’m off to the farmers’ market this morning too! Have a great morning, Kath.
Miranda @ Working Mom Works Out says
That looks AMAZEBALLS. And I’m glad to hear that the 2 of you are getting a little bit of down time. Enjoy each other.
Jenn says
OMG! That looks fabulous! Happy weekend! I got my run in already, so good luck to you. Would love a Saturday filled with wine. Can’t wait to hear the reviews.

Warm sweet fruit sounds delicious! What a great idea!

Amanda (The Nutritionist Reviews) says
You are so lucky to have those beautiful berries growing in your yard!
Freya (Brit Chick Runs) says
Your photography is so beautiful and vivid – it’s like a dream! I love it 🙂 But 100% disagree about warm strawberries – I hate them! Room temp is best 🙂
Stephanie @ StephSnacks says
Happy Saturday 🙂 It is SO nice to have great weather now with wonderful berries and veggies! It makes everything seem that much better!
Angel7 says
Strawberries are a great way to start a day! I love strawberries and blueberries!

Molly @ RDexposed says
Mushrooms-I just can’t like them! Those strawberries are a different story. Relax days are always a necessity-go with it!
J3nn (Jenn's Menu and Lifestyle Blog) says
Whoa, you just reminded me it was Saturday when I read your first sentence, lol. It could have been Monday for all I knew.. ha!
Baking 'n' Books says
Wow, that’s a smorgsabord of flavors there 🙂

Mmm…warm strawberries. I always warm bananas and apples, but never ever think of warming the berries. What a delicious thought. 😀
Gina @Runningtothekitchen says
I think we’ll be seeing a lot of strawberry inspired breakfast for a while 🙂
I have to say, the 14 yr old in me laughs a little everytime you talk about “spitting” at wine tastings! Enjoy!
Alaina says
That looks like the best piece of french toast. 😉
The events at the winery look like so much fun!
Tori (Fresh Fruition) says
I’ve never thought to saute my bananas before I use them as a topping. Yum!
Marina says
Strawberries in breakfast are awesome, I can’t get enough of them lately!
Have a great wine-tasting Saturday 🙂
faith says
Do you need a third coffee judge?
Mary Frances says
I was thinking the same thing, make both side by side and do a blind taste testing with your ‘guinea pigs’, uh, er, I mean guests this evening. Also, you and Matt do it blindly side by side.
Kate (What Kate is Cooking) says
I’m going to the farmer’s market too! So excited 🙂
Holly @ The Runny Egg says
Your breakfast looks delicious — I wish I had sauteed bananas on my pancakes this morning. That sounds amazing!
The Teenage Taste says
Your breakfast looks so decadent, Kath! I’ve been in love with grilled bananas lately! 😀
Julie (Food & Other Things) says
Those strawberries look so delicious! Have a fun day!
Ashley says
I’ve been doing the warm strawberry with juices thing too! Mostly because mine are frozen though. 😉 SO delicious!!! Have fun at the market!
Karen says
A warm bowl of mushy grains and berries is just what I am eating, and also headed out to the farmer’s market – all bundled up in my Northface on this cold and blustery (spring?!) Saturday.
Have a wonderful “day off” from the bakery, Kath!
Katie @ Nourishing Flourishing says
I confess, warm strawbs totally freak me out! But your photos make them look tempting 😉
katie says
ever since you mentioned the warm strawberries yesterday, I’ve had them on the mind. This morning I added them to pancakes to make strawberries and cream oatmeal pancakes, and they were awesome! Something about warmed up fruit is just so comforting..
Khushboo says
I have to disagree….cold strawbs def trump their warm counterpart! When it comes to bananas, however, warm all the way!
Gina says
Best looking toast I’ve ever seen 🙂
Emily @ Savory and Savage says
MMM – warm strawberries – it would be like having strawberry shortcake in the morning:-)
Allison @ Runs A Latte says
Ooohh, what a fun Saturday! Love your bright, cheery-looking pictures! Wish the Chicago weather looked more liked that! 🙂
Elena @ GagaForGrapefruit says
now THAT is a breakfast i can get on board with! i need to find a great harvest near Tempe! 🙂
Maryea @ Happy Healthy Mama says
That strawberry concoction looks UH-Mazing!! It doesn’t help that I am quite hungry right now. Happy Saturday! 🙂
lynn @ the actor's diet says
you know what’s delicious? frozen strawberries + hot cocoa
cassie says
at first i couldn’t tell what you’re breakfast was but then i saw the ingredients and immediately said to myself “i’m in love”…super yummy looking breakfast.. enjoy the vineyards..
Annette @ EnjoyYourHealthyLife says
yummm! your b-fast looks great 🙂
Jill in Chicago says
Hi Kath,
Do you store your Chia seeds in the freezer, fridge, or cupboard? I’m about to invest in my first bag, and want to make sure I store them properly!
Thanks in advance 🙂
Jill
KathEats says
I store them in my cool, dark basement and have a jar sitting on my counter that I use up in a week or so and refill often.
Jill in Chicago says
Thanks! I also just watched your Coconut Butter ‘tutorial’. Because you mention that it is a different consistency based on the season, I’m guessing you also store that at room temp, in a cool, dark place? (I just made some and want to make sure I don’t need to refrigerate it.)
KathEats says
Yup! room temp! And putting it in a pot of hot water helps to soften
Kiran @ KiranTarun.com says
That breakfast looks so delicious, I almost drool all over my keyboard 😉
Rachel says
Yum! Bummer that raw strawberries make your teeth hurt- it’s a good thing you like them cooked! I like my strawberries fresh, but so far my sensitive teeth are okay with that. (Although now you have me a liiiitttle paranoid. 😉 )
Emma (Namaste Everyday) says
what a fun day! I am so jealous, I’m spending the day lesson-planning! I wish I was spitting some wine 😉
Chelsea @ One Healthy Munchkin says
I never thought toast for breakfast could look delicious, but you’ve proved me wrong. This looks amazing!
r8chel says
I love that you basically treated that slice of bread like a pancake. Looks yummy!
Hannah says
I love warming up strawberries, particularly with a little dash of balsamic 🙂
Rachel says
MMMMMMMM!
this brekkie looks gorgeous-Ive just got some apricot and orange bread out from the freezer especially for it!! how did you sautee the bananas?
thanks for the inspiration-something to look forward to after a gym session!!
