I wanted oatmeal this morning, but decided for the sake of saving time and dishes that I’d just eat up a “dry” breakfast instead. Dry breakfasts are breakfasts that don’t involve using the sink after!!
High Five toast with TJ’s sunflower butter, chia seeds and coconut
Leftover book club fruit (that I microwaved because it was too cold!)
And even leftover iced coffee!!
5 minutes to assemble, 5 minutes to eat, 5 minutes saved!

Molly @ RDexposed says
Ugh, packing. Best wishes on that one.
Khushboo Thadani says
Jealous about your beach trip, not jealous about the packing :)! Have a great day!
Susan H. @ The Food Allergy Chronicles says
A quick, satisfying and very yummy looking pre-vacation breakfast! Packing is always the hardest part of a vacation…what to wear, what to wear! Everything always depends on the weather which can be so unpredictable! Luckily our weekend away getaway weather was unbelieveable! Sunny skies everyday for our biking adventures in Niagara-on-the-Lakes wine country!
Julie H. of Spinach and Sprinkles says
Woooo- pack! Soooo close!
Dry breakfasts just don’t do the trick for this girl- but golly do I wish they would. I’m such a picky/huge breakfast eater!
KathEats says
I agree – wet breakfasts fill me up better
Lace @ Real Food Quest says
Do the chia seeds help the pb toast stick with you longer?
KathEats says
I hope so
Claire @ Live and Love to Eat says
I don’t think I’ve ever microwaved fruit – I love it super cold! 🙂
KathEats says
Sensitive teeth can’t handle it!
Roxanne says
me too, I nuke it for a few seconds so the “chill” is out, and I don’t have major “brain freeze” in my mouth!
Katie says
I heat up my fruit for my oatmeal a little especially during the winter to produce some yummy juices and to keep the oatmeal from going cold too fast. I grilled some pineapple with our chicken and pepper kabobs last night and need to remember to grill more fruit this summer. Of course, cold fruits are so refreshing especially as the weather gets warmer. Sensitive teeth are no fun.
Laura @ Sprint 2 the Table says
How was that watermelon? I still haven’t found a perfect one this season, but I did have some amazing pineapple! It was awesome in a smoothie with cilantro and cinnamon. Mexi-smoothie!
Good luck packing!
KathEats says
Pretty good!
Kelly says
How do you like the straws you’re using? I’m considering them – but worried about a funky taste?
Have a great day!
KathEats says
The taste is neutral. I prefer plastic, but mother earth does not..
Ana says
Try glass straws, I have some and they are awesome!! No taste at all, and they are a lot more durable than you could ever imagine. We have four (and I want to buy some more), and they do really well with my 10 year old – who by they way loves the straws, he doesn’t use any other now 🙂

Just wait until you are trying to pack up all the baby belongings and gear! Enjoy your day, at least you have an ultrasound to look forward to. Your breakfast looks simple and delicious. I usually enjoy the breakfast making process including the cleanup, but I agree that a dry breakfast is the way to go. I make breakfast in shifts, my husband, myself and then my kids and most of them are not dry. Do you do most of your dishes by hand or in the dishwasher? I tend to end up washing a lot of mine by hand partly because the dishwasher would be full all the time!
KathEats says
I put bowls and things in the DW but anything cooked or coffee has to be done by hand
Katie says
I tend to wash a lot of things before I put them in the dishwasher rather than just rinse them (a habit I picked up from my grandmother), so I figure I might as well just wash them, dry them and put them away. Or I just go ahead and put them on the table for the next meal or pack lunches for the next day. Dishes and laundry seem to never be completely “done”!
Caroline @ After Dinner Dance says
I am eating pineapple all the time lately – so good!
The Mrs @ Success Along the Weigh says
You just reminded me, I need to UNpack from my trip! Oops. Have a great time!
[email protected] says
Never thought of sprinkling chia seeds on toast – I’m going to try that 😉
Catalina @ Cake with Love says
I have never tried to microwave my fruit, great idea!! Good luck with all that packing!
Lindsey says
I had leftover coffee in the same cup this morning! Good luck with packing (my least favorite task EVER…).
Erin says
The thought of that much packing is probably not so bad when you throw an ultrasound break in there!
Katie @ Peace Love and Oats says
Exciting day!!! I love getting ready for a vacation!
Angela @ Eat Spin Run Repeat says
Sounds like a speedy morning! I think we’ve got opposing preferences on fruit – the colder, the better for me! Good luck with all that packing!
jenna says
mmm…that fresh fruit looks so satisfying! have fun on your trip.
Alyssa (pb and oatmeal) says
Are chia seeds like flaxseeds, where you have to grind them up to be able to absorb the omega 3’s?
KathEats says
No grinding necessary, which is why I prefer them
Donna says
Hope you are taking a jacket/sweater to the beach! It has been unseasonably cool this year. It is 65 degrees here in Charlotte this morning….too cold for a workout in the outdoor pool! BUMMER!
KathEats says
Boo. Highs are in the 80 s
Laura [email protected] Beanie Bumbles says
I almost always microwave my fruit if it’s been in the fridge! It’s at it best at room temp. Plus much juicier!
Amy says
Aren’t you going to say anything about Larbs’ engagement?! How exciting!
KathEats says
Wanted to let her announce it on her blog first!! BIG news!!
Amy says
She posted it on her blog yesterday. I thought for sure you’d say something this morning! 🙂
Katie @ Talk Less, Say More says
that’s quite the busy day of packing! 😉
OliePants says
I love a quick breakfast. Mine is usually toast, Earth Balance and some blackberry preserves.
Beth @ DiningAndDishing says
Proof that a delicious breakfast doesn’t have to take a long time… But some mornings it’s fun when it does :).
Jen Ross says
Have fun at the beach! I ate my first batch of overnight oats out of a nearly empty jar of Archer Farms’ peanut/cashew/almond butter and it was delish! And it is pretty darn fun eating out of a jar, hehe.
Jody says
That pineapple looks SO good! I am loving pineapple this year now that I am no longer intimidated by cutting it. I saw your sister got engaged. HOW EXCITING!! 🙂
Andrea @ The Skinny Chronicles says
Have a great trip! Can’t to see your photos! May there be lots of R and R in your near-future!
Annette @FitnessPerks says
I don’t love packing……but looks like it’s going to be for a GOOD cause 🙂 Hehe.
Ashley @ Coffee Cake and Cardio says
Im so with you! Pack, pack, pack….
Averie @ Averie Cooks says
Dry breakfasts…love it. I am all about anything that’s a time (or dishes) saver!
Stacy @ Say It With Sprinkles says
I was on a dry breakfast kick for a couple weeks, but knew it was only a phase – sure enough, I’m back on messy dish, wet breakfasts!
Erica says
Have fun on your trip! I totally want to go to TJs now and get more sun butter!!!
Cait's Plate says
Gah! I need sunflower seed butter in my life again so badly! It’s been nearly a week without it and I’m really jonesing for some!
Lexi @ You, Me, & A World to See says
The only thing worst than packing? Unpacking 😉
[email protected] Broken Cookies Don't Count says
After the packing comes the trip, which makes it worth the effort!
Angel7 says
Iced coffee sounds good right now, but only if it is decaf! I have been trying not to drink anything with caffeine in it while pregnant, but it can be somewhat difficult at times to only drink water.
