Lisa is here in Cville visiting and considering making it her home. I met her on Monday and we set up a date to bike and run this morning!
We met downtown (via bike) and ran 3 miles in the neighborhoods surrounding. I gave her a mini city tour! Before I left I woke up very hungry and had a piece of Honey Whole Wheat with almond butter and a date = required fuel
Then we got on our bikes and came back to the KERF Farm for breakfast. She requested smoothies!
Made with banana, blackberries, oats, yogurt, milk, chia seeds and Vanilla Almond granola
Coffee twins
After breakfast we attempted to get some shots of us for the blog. I do not recommend rolling in the grass in August!
We couldn’t get me in the frame OR the sun out of our eyes. Hilarity ensued.
Better just stick to headshots : )
Have a great day!

Aw yay – fun! I love the shots of the two of you 🙂
I actually JUST recently rolled in the grass and also do not recommend it. I was itchy for the next hour!! Not fun at all.
Just got the granola from Open Sky – love that it’s helping Susan out!
CJ @ http://healthy-happy-whole.com/ says
I hate rolling in the grass anytime because like you said, its ridiculously itchy!!! Did you ever roll down hills as a kid thinking it was super fun?! I did and I never remember getting itchy!
Cait's Plate says
Haha yes! Exactly. I was like “this was NOT what it was like when I was little!” 🙂
Katherina @ Zephyr Runs says
Way cute 🙂 The matching coffees and smoothies remind me of childhood, where siblings always get the same everything!
Anna @ Newlywed, Newly Veg says
I love it when friends are in town 🙂 Sounds like a fun morning!
Emily says
Sounds fun! Love the photo shoot
Gina @ Running to the Kitchen says
Fun morning! I can’t imagine NOT moving to C’ville if given the opportunity after how amazing you make the town/city look!
Angela @ Eat Spin Run Repeat says
Looks like such a fun morning! Yes, rolling in the grass is not all it’s cracked up to be, but it does make good photos!!
Estela @ Weekly Bite says
What a cute photo shoot!! Looks like the two of you had a great time together 🙂
Julie H. of Spinach and Sprinkles says
The coffee and smoothie twins make me want BOTH twice as bad, looks like you two are having fun! I bet she is CONVINCED to move!
Sam says

Sam @ fitness food & faith (giveaway today!)
Margo @ peanut butter trees says
Running and biking buddies make it so much more fun to exercise! Happy Wednesday.
Balancing Sylvia says
Those pictures are adorable! I also think it’s funny how you can’t seem to make up your mind if you’re a coffee drinker or not 😀
KathEats says
Well clearly I like it – I just am not always in the mood!! If it weren’t so addicting I wouldn’t have such a struggle, but I get addicted after one cup!
Jennifer says
Visiting friends are always nice! Looks like you guys are having a blast!
Cait @ Cait hates Cake says
Haha, looks like you two were sure having fun trying to get those pics!
Sweet and Savvy says
Looks like a great time! Photoshoot looks fun!:)
lynn @ the actor's diet says
yay blog buds! even if it was hot out, i would request KERF oatmeal!
Claire @ Live and Love to Eat says
Cute photos! I just got a new camera and can’t wait to experiment with all the settings.
Aine @ Something to Chew Over says
Cute matching breakfasts 🙂
Do you ever have breakfast with Matt?
KathEats says
Yes, on Sundays!
Khushboo says
Pre-breakfast dates are always a good idea…even better when they include exercise!
Brittany @ Itty Bits of Balance says
Aw 🙂 Looks like you guys had a good time!
I’m allergic to grass, so I don’t think I would have the idea to roll in it regardless- haha
Ash @ Good Taste Healthy Me says
Looks like a fun time!
Lisa Fischoff says
ah cute! and smoothies with cville cluster = yum! thanks again!
Hillary says
Those pictures have me craving smoothies big time now!
Meri says
uh-oh- if that were me, I KNOW I’d have ants in my pants by the end of that photo session haha. Looks like a fun breakfast date!
Hilary says
Blackberries give everything such a pretty colour. 🙂
Kristen, Sweetly says
Hilarious photo shoot efforts. Thanks for sharing the outtakes! I live it when people do goofy things for good shots.
Living, Learning, Eating says
I used to not be much of a smoothie person, but green monsters are definitely converting me! 😛
Namaste Gurl says
You two are so cute– have fun together today! That smoothie- as always- looks beautiful and I’m sure just as good taste wise 🙂
Kathryn (Flopoodle) says
Such a fun morning! Makes me want to get up earlier to take advantage of morning hours before work 😀
Angel7 says
Those are funny “rolling in the grass” pics. 🙂 The grass looks like hay on my computer screen, because our screen’s color is off since it is on its way out.

Jess @ atasteofconfidence says
I think the hay pics are cute!
J3nn (Jenn's Menu and Lifestyle Blog) says
I would request a smoothie, too! That looks delish.
Yes, hilarious grass shots, lol. It’s HARD to take self-pics with a DSLR!!! My short arms just can’t work it out. 🙁
KathEats says
You need a tripod!
J3nn (Jenn's Menu and Lifestyle Blog) says
Truer words have never been spoken in a comment, haha!
Erika @ The Teenage Taste says
Sounds like a great blogger meet-up! Glad you had a great time, Kath! The pictures of your two in the grass/hay are too cute! 😛
Marie@feedingfive says
I have gotten so many good recipes from your blog but have never tried a smoothie with granola. I would probably make it for an afternoon snack as I can’t seem to veer from my morning bowl of oats. I add about 1/2 cup liquid egg whites for protein and staying power, and some sort of nut butter that I learned from you. I absolutely can’t have it w/out it now.
AMY says
too cute!

Sarah @ Sarah's Modern Bites says
What a fun meet-up! I love the idea of meeting up for a run and then breakfast rather than for coffee or lunch. When my boyfriend and I have busy weeks and not a lot of together time even though we live together, we go for long runs together and then out to breakfast on the weekends. I do the same thing with my sister!
Mary @ Bites and Bliss says
Cute! My friends and I used to do the same thing and have the same issues. One person was ALWAYS out of frame!
Katie @ Peace Love and Oats says
Haha I was sitting in the grass yesterday when I took my brother’s puppy to the park. I just ended up with bug bites!
Hannah says
I’d request a smoothie if I ever visited you too 😛
Lexi @ A Spoonful of Sunshine says
Haha I always have that problem with friends as well. I think the best photos are the ones that only have about 1/4 of five different faces though. Maybe that’s because they’re the only ones we’re capable of taking though!
Sandy says
Hey there 🙂 I’ve been reading your blog for a few months now….but this is my first comment! Just had to say that I’m not addicted to oats in a jar, almond butter, and the granola I bought from your Opensky sale!! So yummy…especially together! Next I have to try the smoothie in a bowl…haven’t gotten to that one yet. But I will…I will. ~Sandy
