We leave for the beach on Thursday and I have lots of food to eat in that fridge of ours! Yogurt included.
I made a bowl mixed of Oikos, banana, chia, granola, sunflower butter and local cherries from Steadfast Farm.
I did have to set the stems and pits aside on my napkin, but it wasn’t a big deal to include the cherries. They are one of my favorite fruits!
Tea on the side
Happy Monday!
Allie@LiveLaughEat says
I haven’t had a raw cherry in a long time since I’m…wait for it..allergic! Weird, right? And so sad. Wee beach!
KathEats says
Boooo allergies
Janelle says
I’m allergic too!!! 🙁 I’ve never “met” anyone else who was before.
Lindsay says
I’m allergic too! And to apples.
Alicia says
Could this be a pectin allergy?
Caroline @ After Dinner Dance says
I have been craving cherries ever since I saw them at the store this weekend – clearly, I shouldn’t have skipped over them!
susan says
Cherries really make these pics … they are so pretty!
Lynn @ the actor's diet says
Just bought cherries at the farmers market yesterday! So excited to eat them
The Mrs @ Success Along the Weigh says
I just gave cherries another shot after having sworn them off for life and I’m glad to have another fruit to add to the mix!
kaila@ healthy helper blog! says
Love cherries in the summer time! Too bad they are 5.99 a pound right now at my store 🙁
Michelle@PeachyPalate says
I love cherries, favourite fruit of all time. Stick and cherry on top and you’re sure to win me over! 🙂
Stephanie @ Legally Blinde says
Oh yum, fresh cherries are the best. Looks like a fantastic breakfast. Have a good Monday!
Katie says
We picked up some cherries at the market yesterday. We all love them, especially my son, so I have had to ration them. He has a plan to buy 10 bags at the store when they are in season! My daughter picked out a Veggie Pizza Flip from Great Harvest. Is this something you guys are making? They told me that they aren’t selling them in the store/bakery, just at the markets for now. Have a magnificent Monday!
KathEats says
No, i haven’t heard of the pizza flips
Katie says
It’s labeled as Italian herbed foccacia stuffed with tomato and mozzarella cheese. Similar to a calzone shape, just the bread folded with cheese and tomatoes inside not sealed like a calzone. I sent some in my son and daughter’s lunches and saved a small piece to try with lunch.
donna says
I love cherries! that looks delish! which beach are you going to? we just returned from Kiawah. It is beautiful there. Back to reality this week!
KathEats says
Carolina Beach. Love Kiawah too! Did you see any of the giant spiders in the trees!? They were haunting!
Laura @ Sprint 2 the Table says
I got so excited when I was in the Delta Sky Club the other day and there was a bowl of cherries. So good!
Claire @ Live and Love to Eat says
Those cherries look amazing! I haven’t had any yet this season.
Katie @ Talk Less, Say More says
i LOVE cherries! I need to remember to get some from the farmer’s market soon!!
Donna says
No, we didn’t see any spiders, but we did see a 6 ft alligator swim by in the lagoon one night beneath the screen porch we were relaxing on! Yikes! Talk about creepy! And my husband saw 6 gators on the golf course.
Sarena (The Non-Dairy Queen) says
I have really been craving cherries lately! This makes it worse! I think I need to make a special trip to the store now! Have a great Monday Kath!
Audrey says
Hi Kath:
What are your thoughts regarding cherries and pesticides? I’ve heard that growers use a lot of pesticides on cherries, and for that reason I usually avoid them.
KathEats says
I asked my guy and he said these were not sprayed.
KathEats says
[If you didn’t know, I’d just wash really well. Washing well (with soap) should get rid of a lot of them – harder with a berry like strawberries that couldn’t handle soap with their delicate skin)
Ashley @ My Food 'N' Fitness Diaries says
i love love love cherries. its been far too long since i’ve had some. that needs to change this week!
Khushboo says
Love cherries but I am guilty of the occasional seed swallow!
Wesley @ the way home says
Love the Great Harvest mug. I live and die for their bread. I don’t visit our Nashville store as often as I should because I get my bread from the grocery stores that carry it, but I do love venturing into the store for some bread and real butter, and an amazing cookie if I’m lucky.
Angela @ Eat Spin Run Repeat says
Ditto to all the comments above – I’m a cherry lover too! They’re still pretty expensive here but when they’re on sale I’ll be buying tons of them!
Kerry @ Totes My Oats says
I LOVE fresh cherries!
Averie @ Averie Cooks says
I love cherries. They are one of my fave fruits and I’d gladly help you polish off your stash before you leave for the beach (have fun!)
Fran@ Broken Cookies Don't Count says
I love cherries! Your breakfast looks lovely!
Cait's Plate says
I’m DYING for some cherries – I haven’t seen them pop up around me yet but I absolutely cannot wait until they do!
Chelsea @ Designs on Dinner says
I love how cherries can make any meal look like dessert! Nothing wrong with cleaning out the fridge when you have food like that inside. 🙂
Hope says
I don’t even like cherries but they look delicious!
Andrea says
I neeeeed cherries!!!
Angel7 says
I like cherries, but never buy them, because they can be a little expensive. Our all-time fave fruits in our household are blueberries, strawberries, blackberries, and raspberries.

I just love the color of those cherries. So beautiful!
Katie @ Peace Love and Oats says
I love cherries!!! I love going up to Michigan and getting fresh ones!
Lauren @ Oatmeal after Spinning says
I always feel the need to clear the fridge before we leave for a trip- even if it’s just a long weekend. I HATE seeing food go to waste! I get really creative with those meals right before we leave!
Erica says
That looks so darn good! I need to get some cherries

Ashley @ Hudson on the Potomac says
Yummm I love cherries! I’ve never been a fan of the syrupy maraschino, but I can eat an entire bunch of fresh cherries in a few days!
Lindsey says
I was in VA Beach Saturday and Sunday and it was COLD and RAINY! Hope Carolina Beach has a better forecast for you this weekend!! I’ll have to wait until 4th of July for my real beach vacation, haha!
Hope @ With A Side Of Hope says
I love that first picture! Cherries are so good. I love eating fresh cherries in the summer. I hate how darn expensive they are though.
Vivi @ My.Beautiful.Air says
That first pic is just so sweet and priceless!
Lexi @ You, Me, & A World to See says
Gorgeous photos! My leftover food looks nowhere near that appealing 😉
Maura @ My Healthy 'Ohana says
Cherries are my favorite, especially Rainier cherries! That’s awesome that you can get some from your local farm. We are going to go apricot picking at an orchard close to our house in Las Vegas tomorrow, they grow surprisingly well here.
The Healthy Apple says
Have fun at the beach; SOOO excited to see you in a few weeks. Yea! xoox
