Another delish Marsh Harbor brex! I made some more microwave banana rolled oats for our dreary day topped with fresh berries, granola and some of that freshly ground almond butter from the co-op yesterday.
There’s that almond butter under there!
Coffee. For food + beverage pairing.

Your friend’s pastry doesn’t look very filling, but at least there’s some fruit alongside it. I think a doughnut or pastry for breakfast is A-OK every once in awhile. It makes things feel like vacation!
Happy New Year ๐
Doughnuts are the devil! Love them! ๐
Kath – happy new year! I’ve loved reading about your adventures in 2009 and wish you all the best in the coming year. You certainly have a lot to look forward to!!!
hello!
do you know why there are no great harvests in chicago? i just moved here from michigan and i am seriously missing it!!!
i’m excited to follow along in 2010! i am new to your blog this year & love looking back at your older posts. thanks for all the links! ๐
Happy New Year! I’m so glad to have found your blog this year, you’ve been a major inspiration. Can’t wait to follow where you go next!
Wow, you’ve accomplished a lot over the year.
Where are you going in Montana? I’ve been to Helena a couple times and it was a good experience, even though I was there for work.
Back to Dillon where Great Harvest is.
Beautiful breakfast!!
And, your friend’s pastry looks pretty yummy to me too!
I have so enjoyed your blog this year!! Thank you for inspiring me in many ways! Happy New Year!
Holy wow, that WAS a busy year for you! Here’s 2010 being yet another exciting and productive year for you guys!
lol– you definitely had a FULL year. Have a great New Year’s Eve, Kath! Looking forward to more of your blog in 2010!
Great breakfast to round out the year! I hope you have a wonderful and safe new year and here’s to a fantastic 2010!
You have had an amazing year!
Happy New Year, Kath! Best to you for all the wonderful adventures you have in store for 2010!
I hope 2010 holds nothing but happiness and good food!
Happy New Year! It’s been lovely getting to “know” you this year – I can’t wait to see what next year will bring!
I’ve only been reading your blog since August so some of that stuff I didn’t even know about. Man you had the busiest year and it sounds like it’s just going to keep going – very exciting!
Thank You for all that you put into this blog! I love stopping by your blog! You will do great on the exam! ๐
Such a fabulous year Kath! It’s always amazing to go back and realize how much we’ve accomplished. ๐ Happy New Year’s Eve!
Love the comparison of your breakfast with the pastry. ๐
A great year; that’s one thing I love about blogging…the ability to go back and see what you were doing … a week, month..YEAR..ago (I’m not there yet, but soon enough). The fruit looks delicoous and HAPPY NEW YEAR!
My mom always pulls what your inn friend does. “And now here’s what NOT to eat.” She thinks she’s so funny. I think deep down she wants her own blog. She also tries to say “That’s what she said,” but she puts the emphasis on the wrong words, so it always comes out, “That’s what she SAID.” instead of “That’s what SHE said.” It’s very much like Christopher Walken.
Happy New Year! What a great year!
I have to read your Africa posts again. I dream to go there and loved the posts ๐
Looks like it was a good year for you! I enjoyed reading about it.
Haha – the amount you accomplish in a year makes my year look shameful!
I can’t wait to see what 2010 has in store for KathEats!! ๐
What an exciting year! Hope 2010 is even better ๐
Happy NYE!! You guys have a lot of excitement coming up ๐
Love fresh berries ‘n oats. Makes for a pretty bowl. I have high hopes for 2010 too =) You’ll pass the exam. I know you will!
What a year! Cheers to an equally exciting 2010!
Happy New Year Kath!!!
hi there! still addicted to your blog! a quick question: why almond butter? is it for taste or for nutrition? have you tried other nut butters (i.e cashew butter)? are almonds healthier than peanuts?
i need all the vicarious nut butter experience i can get because i live in France and all we have here is overpriced Skippy. et รงa me fait triste.
It’s all about the taste!
I’ve enjoyed reading your adventures this year, Kath! Wishing you and Matt a happy and healthy 2010!

Hi Kath,
I’m a new visitor– Rod Hyson’s wife. Wish I could have been there at The Marsh Harbour. Rod told me what a wonderful and interesting family you all are. I love the photographs— Christmas ones, and all the others. You definitely have a talent. Would love to hear some comments about how you get the photographs— lighting, composition etc. Have a great new year and I look forward to meeting you on Bald Head Island.
Julie
Hi Julie! Thanks for stopping by. We’ve had such a lovely vacation here at the Inn. Wish we could have met you during our stay. Thanks for the photography compliments – it’s all about the DSLR camera, as much natural light as possible, my Canon 50mm lens (see the Q+A page for more on that). I’d love to give you a lesson in person sometime ๐
The RD exam is not exactly challenging. It is designed to test entry level competence. The fail rate is really low.
Best of luck in 2010. I too just discovered your blog this summer and it has become a daily read and inspired me to eat healthier ๐
Great year kath!!
I love your blog and just wanted to say Happy 2010!! This is the first time I have posted a comment but I have been a faithful reader! LOVE IT!
happy healthy NYE!! ๐
Wow, what a great year! I did not realize that you guys were opening your own Great Harvest! Sounds like you have a lot to look forward to next year! I wish you tons of luck in the new year!
can’t wait to see what 2010 brings you guys! happy new year!
Loved keeping up with 2009, and cannot wait to see where 2010 takes you guys! Happy New Year ๐
