I haven’t had to be up this early in ages (with the exception of early flights!) Guess this is foreshadowing of January’s start working full time again 🙂
While I got dressed, Matt made me a bowl of Chia Cottage Cheese Oats. Boy was it delicious. He had to be up because he’s now working on Mondays doing inventory so he has Saturdays off!
Ingredients included:
- 1/3 cup oats, milk, water
- Half banana
- 1 tbsp chia
- Scoop Daisy Cottage Cheese
- Flax
- 1/2 crumbled Quaker Simple Harvest Banana Macadamia Coconut bar
- Coconut butter shavings from the lid
- Barney Butter
Dark, dark!
Half caf Spring Blend + Marley Coffee with half and half
I’m off!

Does coconut butter add a lot of flavor or just more creaminess?
Rebecca says

I just remembered that sometime last week you made the Tofu Curry soup from Cooking Light, and I was wondering where you managed to find light coconut milk? I was planning on making it yesterday, but could only find the regular stuff at both grocery stores near my house– would it be better to go to a specialty store, perhaps?
Cara (Cara Craves...) says
That looks like one hearty bowl of oats! I’m sure that tied you over for a while.
Meg says
What a wonderful and delicious way to start the day! Have a good one!

Enjoy your day!

Again, I love your bowl sets!! Makes the oats look even more yummy 🙂
Cynthia (It All Changes) says
It’s a strange feeling to get up early if you aren’t used to it and it isn’t for a special occassion like a trip. How sweet that Matt made you breakfast though.
I love your photos of breakfast. They look like magazine photos for “what you should eat for breakfast” kind of article.
Ellen @ Peace in Motion says
giiiiirl you have THE BEST bowls. I wish I had half of your collection.
Cara says
Agreed, your bowls and dishes are the best part of the blog! I feel like I need a china makeover…

I must try this coconut butter. It looks a bit more thin than peanut butter, is it?

Anne Marie@Her New Weigh says
Sounds amazing!! I love the utensils!
JBlue says

what are your thoughts on this?
thanks 🙂
Sarah @ The Foodie Diaries says
I love your blurry shots!
JENN says
You are getting to be such a good photographer! I love the last 2 pictures.
allijag says
LOVE that last picture – I think I love you looking at the pics from your new camera as much as you like taking them! 🙂
Julie @ Peanut Butter Fingers says
It’s so nice that you & your hubby got to sit down to breakfast together in the morning – even when you’re up so early. Quality time! 🙂 Love the pics, as always.
Amanda @ Cakes and Ale says
I was up early for work this morning too, which I wasn’t happy about since I have class tonight until 9PM! Mondays just kill me… at least I packed a tasty PB sammy for dinner!
Julia says
Hear some much about coconut butter on all these blogs…Will put in on the “i have to take this from the US to Europe next time”-list!

Yummy, I’m craving oatmeal like crazy this week! So warm and comforting. 🙂
My pics never come out that clear without flash; they’re usually blurry. 😯 Nice!

AnnQ says
Your breakfast (as always) looks super yum! 🙂
Madeline @ Greens and Jeans says
I have not thought to add cottage cheese to my oats! I think I might have to give that one a go tomorrow…
Deva (Voracious Vorilee) says
What sort of flavor does the cottage cheese give to the oats? Does it make them more savory or more creamy? I’m curious! I hope your monday goes well 🙂
Marisa (Trim The Fat) says
Morning is rough! I hate getting up in the dark!
Nice to have breakfast with the hubs, though!
Hallie (Healthy Twists) says
So cute that you sit down at the table to have breakfast with your honey! My boyfriend and I are really bad about that…we eat in front of the TV most of the time 🙁
Heather @ Health, Happiness, and Hope says
Such an awesome combo Kath! Have a wonderful Monday!
Kath says
rhodeygirl,
just minimal flavor when you get some in a bite. I probably won’t be restocking when its gone.
Wendy,
I have no idea what grocery stores are in your area. It’s hit or miss. My Trader Joe’s and Harris Teeter always have it.
Food Makes Fun Fuel,
It’s actually half oil, half solid in my jar right now. I liked it better in the winter when it was all solid!
chandra,
Thank you!
Amanda,
I have no idea what my schedule will be, so I have no idea! But I’d prefer AM to PM so if I can, I will.
JBlue,
I agree with FitSugar for the most part. It is NOT the new trans-fat though! Even transfats aren’t that bad for a person who eats healthy 90% of the time and exercises. And the amount of palm oil in Barney Butter is so negligible. I believe nut butters are the only product I eat that contains it.
Deva,
Closest cousin would be cheesecake or cream cheese.

Janna says
I need to bite the bullet and get me some chia seeds.
Those oats look yummy!
Also, just wanted to let you know about a healthy living blog I started called Just Flourishing! You can check it out at http://justflourishing.com
Have a great day!
Hannah says
When do you usually add chia seeds to your oatmeal? At the end as a topping?
Kath says
