Somebody was a little too excited to drink her coffee this morning
Poor linens. Stupid wobbly table, uneven porch floor.
Actually, I think it was the oatmeal I was most excited about! A few days without it and I was jumping out of bed this morning!
The Mix
- 1/4 cup rolled oats
- 2 tbsp scottish oats
- Half banana
- 1 tbsp chia seeds
- Pinch salt
- Half milk, half water
- Dried cherries
- Crumbled Honest Foods bar (that’s been in my pantry way too long but still tasted great!)
- Salty peanuts
- Great Harvest jam
- TJs Sunflower Buttah
One heckuva bowl!!
I am hoping to get some major writing done this morning so I can make it to BodyPump and home in time to have a great lunch before Faith and I embark on a fun out of town adventure!
[Focus.]
Christie {Nourishing Eats} says
OOOh, can’t wait to see where your out of town adventures take you!!
JenATX says
yay outmeal! dont worry i get excited too.. its what i think about when I go to sleep at night haha
Holly @ Couch Potato Athlete says
Good luck on getting your work done — and have a nice afternoon!
The Great Harvest jam — is that made fresh at each location?
KathEats says
It’s branded, but not made on site
Joyce @ Flowing to Fifty says
Good luck with the writing! I can hardly wait to hear about your afternoon adventure. Sounds like you have a jam-packed day.
J3nn (Jenn's Menu and Lifestyle Blog) says
Looks like a yummy mix!
megan @ blackberries for jam says
I still get so excited over oatmeal in the morning too!
Stacey (The Home-Cooked Vegan) says
Your oats look great! I would be excited to wake up to that breakfast too 😉 Hope you make it to BodyPump, I miss that class! Have a fun day! 😀
Melissa @ HerGreenLife says
That’s the danger of white napkins 🙁 I almost exclusively use our colored (ideally darkly colored) cloth napkins to avoid the staining/showing dirt quickly issue. The delicate white napkins just sit in the drawer.
Caitlyn (A Spoonful of Life) says
I have never been to a body pump class. I’ll need to put that on my “to-try” list! Good luck writing!
Laura @ Sprint 2 the Table says
I love PBJ-style oats. I need to break out the sunflower butter again… its been too, too long.
Jen @ keepitsimplefoods.com says
Gorgeous napkin. Is it hand embroidered?
Natalie @ Will Jog For Food says
Your oatmeal picture is especially spectacular today! I am really craving some right now…
Angela @ Eat Spin Run Repeat says
I can’t wait to see what your adventure is! I love crumbling granola bars on my cereal/fruit/oats now (wonder who I learned that from!?) and rarely eat them in bar-form now. Have a great day Kath!
Maryann (The Balanced Bean) says
How do your oats always look so freakin amazing! I think it’s the toppings 🙂 I need to try scottish oats asap!
Lauren at KeepItSweet says
Sounds like a fun day, enjoy!!
Christine says
Oh I did the same thing with my coffee yesterday. Before I even ate I had to run to the sink to get my placemat soaking in cold water. It was one of my favorite placemats too! I think it all came out — though I haven’t looked at it since I hung it to dry……
Sarena (The Non-Dairy Queen) says
Breakfast looks delicious! Good luck getting the writing done and have fun this afternoon!
[email protected] Sweet Life says
I love that gorgeous napkin!!! Good luck–hope you have a productive day!
Kelly says
I am a complete clutz. If I only had a nickle for every time I spilled my coffee. This is exactly why I finish my cup before I leave the house. Taking it in a car was resulting in a lot of stains on my clothes and my car.
Jessica @ How Sweet It Is says
Adventure? Have fun!
chelsey @ clean eating chelsey says
That bowl of oatmeal looksk amazing – your toppings are always so delicious!!
Amanda- The Nutritionist Reviews says
Dried cherries are the best on oats!
Jess (Sweet Potato) says
We have a wobbly table too. It wobbles. I spill. This happens day after day and everytime it happens, I think to myself “I need to fix that!” but I never do…
Nikki T says
I wish I could come to your house for breakfast!
Nikki T says
Also, I keep meaning to ask…do you put the ingredients (up to the 1/4 milk hlaf water) you have listed in “The Mix” in a pot on the stovetop? I’m a bit of a oatmeal newbie and I keep sticking the the same mix so I don’t screw it up! But yours always look so yummy I thought I’d better get some guidance from a pro! 😉
KathEats says
I put everything listed but the toppings in the pot and stir. Take a visit over to the Tribute To Oatmeal page for all the details on how to make it!
Nikki T says
Thanks! 🙂
Hope says
That oatmeal looks so good! I would have jumped out of bed for that too! I can’t wait to read about your adventure! Have fun!! 🙂
Anna @ Newlywed, Newly Veg says
Aww, I hope the stain comes out! I hate using my linens, only to get stuff on them! 🙁
Krystina (Organically Me) says
have fun!
Alaina says
You may have mentioned this on other posts but where did you get your spoons? They’re beautiful!!
KathEats says
From my grandmother
Katie Photiadis says
Kath, that oatmeal looks amazing! You know, you were the person who turned me on to trying banana and nut butters in my oatmeal. Haha, I might have to give granola and jam a try too =)
Christine @ Merf In Progress says
I love a bowl of oatmeal after not having one for a while. Have a great day!
Heather (heathers dish) says
Good luck with all the writing! I would love to make it to body pump mid-day…lift a little extra for me!
Emily @ One Sweet Vegan says
I know all about spillage. There’s not a day that goes by that I don’t end up spilling something.
Mom says
Kath,
I thought you’d like to know that Gram has THREE copies of O Magazine! One copy of the article is going on the refrig, one is going in the mail to Uncle B in California, and the other is to pass around at dinner.
Love, Mom
KathEats says
Oh how nice!!!
Camille says
I would be excited for those oats too! Yum!
Have a great day!
Katy (The Singing Runner) says
That’s it, I am going to have oatmeal by the end of the week! I comment on how good it looks but never make it (I am stuck in my ways with Chobani), but I am turning over a new leaf. 😉
Jil @ Big City, Lil Kitchen says
The oats look incredible. As always.
Liz @ Tip Top Shape says
I don’t understand how your oats always look so delicious!! I swear I could do the same thing and mine wouldn’t look nearly as good. You need to do a post on this! Share you pretty-oatmeal secrets!! lol
Katelyn @ Chef Katelyn says
I aboslutely love that chia seeds make oats look like lemon-poppy-seed! Ahhhh wait I think I have just decided my next oat recipe!!
Stephanie @cookinfanatic says
Hey Kath!!!! Wanted to see if you had seen the new Chobani commercial yet??? I’m in it! Just thought I’d pass along 🙂

KathEats says
That’s YOU!?! How cool!!
Stephanie @cookinfanatic says
Yep, that’s me!!!! 😀
lynn @ the actor's diet says
it’s been a while since i’ve had oatmeal too and i want it! too bad i’m still too full from dumplings last night…
Kate (What Kate is Cooking) says
Breakfast always gets me out of bed! I tried Body Pump last week and liked it, but I don’t have time to go during the week- bummer!
suep says
Arrgh! I could hardly read the post, I was so frightened by not one, but TWO ads featuring the frightening Sandra Lee.
Susan Mc says
Hate to be rude, but those ads made me shudder too!
Josie @ Skinny Way Of Life says
oats!!! everything looks so springy, I love it!!
Natalia - a side of simple says
Yesterday afternoon I was craving oats and decided I couldn’t wait until breakfast. Breakfast for dinner is always more fun anyway 🙂 Hope you’re getting some work done!
Kiran says
I’ve been missing oats from my breakfast for a few days now. Sigh.
Baking 'n' Books says
Do you measure your nut butter?
What are you writing now?!
KathEats says
No measuring. Just eyeballing.
Nikki says
When is your next Home Neat Home post? I’m excited for it!
mary (what's cookin' with mary) says
The pictures of your oatmeal this morning were just beautiful Kath !
KathEats says
Thank you!
Valerie @ City|Life|Eats says
Awesome bowl! Have fun on your adventure!
Namaste Gurl says
You’re not alone in dreaming about oatmeal. That’s often what gets me out of bed as well, most days!
Allison @ Happy Tales says
Homigosh. I LOVE your spoon!!!!!!!! I gasped when I saw it. (I’m such a dork…)
Jen says
I would have jumped out of bed for those oats too!!!! Have a great day 🙂
Marina says
Love your oats, and the spoon you ate it with. What a wonderful spoon 🙂
Annette says
Good luck with getting to BodyPUMP -it is totally worth it 😉 As a BodyPUMP instructor I can say this. It will give you that extra challenge for your body to power you through the day and really see some muscle definition. Just curious- have you felt a strength increase by doing BodyPUmp?
KathEats says
YES – definitely a little. I’m trying to keep adding weight too!
Hillary [Nutrition Nut on the Run] says
I have been loving dried cherries in my oatmeal lately – mmm!
[email protected] says
How many flavors of Great Harvest jam are there?
Kendall says
Hi, I’m a long-time reader but this is my first comment! I just had to say that you have the most appetizing oatmeal on the ‘net. I eat oatmeal every morning, and I wish I could be as inventive as you are, but I always seem to stick to the same Sweet potato-Date-Peanut Butter-Cinnamon combo!
Hannah says
Teehee, I love that I can almost always pick the nut butter you’ve used from the photo now 😀
Chelsea @ One Healthy Munchkin says
Looks like we both had clumsy mornings – I dropped and broke my favourite coffee mug! 🙁
Sarah @ One Love Sarah says
why does your oatmeal always look so good!!! you are oatmeal queen!
Rachel @ Healthy Teacher says
Oatmeal glory. But what are Scottish oats? You’ve probably answered that before, but I don’t remember.
KathEats says
Blended up steel cut oats
Amy says
Hey Kath, I drool over your oatmeal all the time. You may have mentioned this before, but do you have an idea of caloric value of your oatmeal breakfasts? Just curious 🙂
KathEats says
Usually 400-600 calories
