SOUPER excited about this chilly lunch!!
With the runt of the High Five Fiber batch –
And a plain Siggi’s with a shot of Pumpkin Flax Plus by Nature’s Path that I got at the bulk bins at Healthy Home Market yesterday!
And the prize of summer: cherries. Which I always say in a Long Island accent: instead of "Chair-ries" I transform them to "Char-reys"
For your entertainment: me playing with a play stovetop around age 1?
Have a ga-reat afternoon!!!
Whitney says
I just wanted to say I have been checking out your site and you do an amazing job. Your food always looks amazing and delicious and has inspired me to eat better. I majored in nutrition in college and have since taken a different career path but still love food and health. Keep it up 🙂
Kath says
Thanks Whitney!
Freya @ Brit Chick Runs says
Ooh, I have a cherry craving now 😀 I literally haven’t had a cherry in YEARS!
Lovely lunch, as always 🙂 Have a good day!
Heather (Heather's Dish) says
oooooooh changin’ it up!!! yummy…i love gazpacho and i ADORE cherries 🙂
Ashley@thehungryscholar says
Chilly lunches are perfect in the summer. Cute picture!
lynn (The Actors Diet) says
love the old pix! mine are somewhere at my parent’s house in nj?!
Samantha Angela @ Bikini Birthday says
Oh I totally don’t get gazpacho. Cold soup, really?
Jessica @ How Sweet says
I made some fruit gazpacho yesterday, it is SO good! I love cold soup.
Heather says
I had the same little Fisher-Price stovetop! Seeing that pic brought back memories. I recall there being two little plastic salt + pepper shakers that came with. Adorable!
Marilou @ Mostly Healthy says
Souper means dinner in French … I was all confused hehehe 🙂
A Teenage Gourmet (Sami) says
Haha, cute! I almost made a peach gazpacho yesterday, but I ended up making a jam instead.
Wei-Wei says
Mmm, cherries! We have a big bowl downstairs and I can’t stop popping them into my mouth. Do you know anyone who can tie the cherry stem into a knot in my mouth? I actually succeeded yesterday, except it wasn’t a very tight knot… 😛
I think I need to make gazpacho asap. 😀
Wei-Wei
Gabriela @ Une Vie Saine says
Mmm, gazpacho is so refreshing on a hot day! That picture of you is adorable- I love looking at baby pictures 🙂 Hope you’re having a great Monday!
Lisa says
omg! i had that same toy. Seeing it brought back good memories. 🙂 Remember the blue salt and pepper shakers that sat in the two circles on that little ‘shelf’?
Laura says
wow, those cherries look absolutely delicious!!! xx
wendy @ ABCs and Garden Peas says
Hey, I’m from Long Island and I don’t say cherries with a funny accent…
Maybe it’s you, missy, who has the funny accent…:)
Ok, so I’m not from there anymore. Now I have a hybrid Long Island/Pennsylvania accent. Weird, fo sho.
Ella says
haha, I have to say I’m in solidarity with Kath – being from Seattle and living on the East Coast for the last 9 years has shown me that many people from both LI and PA don’t pronounce the “ay” sound in “cherries” like I grew up hearing and instead say “char-ries” or “Sahr-rah” instead of “Sarah,” etc. I think you nailed it Kath! 🙂
Kath says
Spot on!! Your spellings are much better than mine. “Char-ries”!!
Katie says
I was going to say something about long island accents ( since that’s where I’m from), until I thought in my head “There’s an “ay” sound in cherries? ”
I guess we do say it differently lol.
Kath says
Ha – way to own it Katie!
Dorry says
Loved your comment about the cherries yesterday – so true that I’ll drop $10 on a glass of wine but have a hard time shelling it out for fresh organic fruit. The fruit makes me feel a lot better than the wine the next day. 🙂
Melissa @ HerGreenLife says
Those cherries look delicious — any chance they’re locally grown? Great point yesterday about the price of cherries in comparison to wine. It is interesting how some things seem so “expensive” until we stop, compare, and evaluate priorities. Good, healthy produce, grown in a way that keeps the earth healthy too, is worth the price 🙂 As the saying goes, “You can pay your farmer, or you can pay your doctor.”
Kath says
Well, I feel pretty amazing too and I HAVE been eating grains and dairy!! I think it’s more about eating real food and being conscious of what you put in your mouth than cutting out specific food groups.
Stacy (StacyGrowsHealthy) says
We haven’t had any cherries yet this season. They are so refreshing!
Lindsay @ Summit Sandwiches says
Gazpacho is one of my fav summer meals! Seeing your soup reminds me that I need to make another batch soon!
Mom says
Gosh I wonder what happened to Kath’s salt and pepper shakers. Actually, now that I think about it, I’m not sure if we kept the stove. Could be in the attic. If I’m ever a grandma, then I’d sure be willing to search for it…
Robyn @ Frugal 'n' Fit! says
I am pretty much addicted to cherries right now. My addiction is short-living due to the growing season, but intense! Oh, so intense.
Camille says
Haha, a foodie from the start!
Annie@stronghealthyfit says
That picture reminds me of my fisher price kitchen set that I had as a kid! I absolutely loved it. Pretty lunch!
Kaz says
My mouth has been doing a little song and dance ever since Rainier cherries have come into season. They’re my favorite. 😀
Btw, your pancakes from this morning looked so yum! I’m glad I got my pancake fix before logging on today, or I’d be in the kitchen right now, whipping up a batch. x)
Courtney @ Sweet Tooth, Sweet Life says
SOUPer delish lunch today!! 🙂
Laura @ youngDCliving says
So cute! I used to love those toys too 🙂 Cherries are definitely one of my favorite summer-time fruits as well. Yummm
Michelle @ Give Me the Almond Butter says
I’m not really a fan of cold soup, but I guess I really haven’t had the craving cause it’s still relatively cold here.
Krissy (Single Serving) says
Now you have me sitting here with my Long Island accent saying “cherries” aloud.
I never realized it was one of those words where when I say it – it’s obvious where I come from!!! 🙂 I know “walk”, “dog” and “coffee” are culprits but now I’ll add “cherries” to the list. 😉
jen says
ahhh! this reading specialist says, “it’s an r controlled e. ch-er-ries. errrr. all together now class.” haha. i’ve been reading too much on phonemic awareness today. hmm. i wonder what reading specialists in other parts of the country do where strong accents prevail? ohh, discussion question for class tonight! 🙂
Courtney (Pancakes & Postcards) says
I’ve never gotten into cold soups and I have no idea why. I really must give it another try! Looks yum!
Callie says
I think I have a photo of myself with a play kitchen. Haha.
Those cherries look so good. 🙂
Kristen @ Change of Pace says
That soup recipe looks amazing! I don’t normally like gazpacho but that one looks really good 🙂
blair says
I had the same stove top…hadn’t thought about it in years!
Jennifer says
I LOVE Pumpkin flax plus!! I even put it on top of my oats in the morn! Fabulous! Also your breakfast looked devine. Yum!
Bridget says
your lunch is PERFECTION. yum yum yum!! enjoy this exciting time between wrapping school/internship up and moving/bakery. how very exciting 🙂
Nicole, RD says
I am officially craving the last few cherries in my fridge! Mmmm!
Lisa says
You can say “cherries” with a posh Brit accent, too—-> CHEDDIES.
Kath says
HAHA – so true!
Mary @ Bites and Bliss says
Look at that..one year old and already a great cook 😉
Sarena (The Non-Dairy Queen) says
Great lunch and cute pic! I totally had that stove too! In fact, I think my mom still has it! She never throws anything away. Enjoy your afternoon!
Michelle says
I don’t think I’ve ever had fresh cherries. This needs to change! Tomorrow!
Hailey @Adventures in Health says
I totally love the baby pic! I used to have that exact same toy. Memories!!
Andrea @ Sweet N Green says
LOVE fresh cherries, and love the picture with you and the oven 🙂
Viviane says
Ha! I had the same little oven… and I’m in Montreal! Remember there was a bell ringing when you turned up the “heat” to high? Thanks for the memories 🙂
Jil @ Peace, Love & Munchies says
Oh the gazpacho looks wonderful.

I love your blog! I used to check it out for new recipies and ideas, but I recently completely re-vamped my diet so I don’t really eat the same foods as you do.
Just curious what the blog world has to say about the Paleo lifestyle. Haven’t touched grains and sugar or dairy for two weeks now and feel amazing. Eat a ton of MEAT (organic, grass fed), veggies, fruit (yes, I love fruit!) and nuts and fat.
Feel stronger, leaner, ready to take on the day, NO hunger at all.
Lisa @bakebikeblog says
Love that lunch Kath! It looks so tasty!
And I just read all about your picnic! What a wonderful day you had !!!
Kellie says
I had that stove when I was little. Good memories!
Amber K says
How funny, I’ve never heard anyone pronounce cherries like that! Who cares, how you say it, they are tasty! =)
Chelsea @ One Healthy Munchkin says
Aww, one year old and you were already a foodie! 😉
maxinthegym says
Hurray for cherries! I’ve been eating them everyday since they’ve been in season! I’m glad you’re enjoying them as much as I am!
rebecca lustig says
you were (are) SOO cute!!
hope you have a marvelous evening,
Bec
Hannah says
What about chim chiminey chim chiminey chim chim, che-reeeeee? 🙂 Lovely lunch! I wish it was warm here in Australia so I could make this comfortably…
Stacey@http://stacey-healthylife.blogspot.com/ says
What a perfect summer lunch, love the cherries. I might need to get me some.
Marissa says
I love that pumpkin flax granola! The friends I was camping with this weekend brought cherries… but sadly they were sour and nasty! It made me sad, hahah.
