Happy Weekend!!!!! In an effort to post more fun life stuff, I’m popping in today : ) Here’s a recap of our Thursday!
I had a Fitnessista Breakfast Cookie for breakfast. Haven’t made one of these in ages! Love the chewy texture. Mine had chocolate and cinnamon chips, strawberries, and Wild Friends peanut butter.
I took Mazen to summer camp for the morning and worked on a big switch-a-roo project at home. Office and bedroom swap! More on this in an upcoming post! (And more was on Snapchat! Follow along @Katheats!)
When I finished the office, I decided to go for a quick power walk since I felt like I’d gotten a decent workout moving furniture. Had a handful of almonds before I left. I called my mom for a 2-mile chat. Lauren also popped in to say hello, and we talked for so long that I forgot about lunch!
Thus, I ate lunch super late – at around 2:00. I made a No Bull Burger on an English muffin. Star of the lunch: pickles! (Yes, this was impossible to eat!) Strawberries on the side.
I spent the afternoon working in my new office (!!) before going to pick Mazey up from camp. He was totally tuckered out (and covered in sweat!) so we chilled out in the cool basement for a bit. I put on E.T., which we watched together. He thought E.T. was hilarious when he ran around making that silly noise! (This doll was mine when I was little!)
After a while, M got tired of the movie and we had a snack (a Siggi’s popsicle and some pretzels for M and a La Croix for me), Facetimed with KK, played trains, and then headed outside for some swinging!
Then it was dinnertime! Mazen had a spinach + feta frozen pizza from Whole Foods. No, frozen pizza isn’t the greatest, but I love that he eats a good dose of spinach when I make these! I offered him parmesan broccoli too, but it went untouched.
After his dinner we made cookies! I halved this recipe and swapped raisins for mini chocolate chips. They turned out delicious! (And yes I ate some cookie dough before dinner 😉 )
While the cookies baked, M took his bath, and I worked on my dinner. I also had a glass can of chardonnay! West Side brand. It was pretty decent.
We had seen our neighbor, Miss Sandy, that morning, so we decided to pay her an evening visit and took over two cookies.
Mazen was so tired at bedtime that he told me to stop reading the story, rolled over, and went to sleep!
I ate my dinner on the deck. I made a version of Cracklin’ Cauliflower with extra white beans and yogurt for more protein.
Warm oven cookie for dessert!
And my night ended early reading in bed! I’ve just started Elin Hilderbrand’s newest book : )

Happy weekend, Kath! Love that photo with E.T. So cute.
Lately we’ve been adding a can of beans to dinner almost every night for extra fiber and protein.
Chelsea says
Ahh I so miss posts like this!

This was fun to read! I like the WIAW mixed in with day-in the life. Hope you have a great weekend!

India says
Cute office! I’m most curious about the gallery wall you did. All the meals look yummy.
Jessica says
Long, long time reader here (way back from the WordPress days!). Just wanted to come out of hiding to say I LOVE and have missed posts more like this one. Great Saturday morning surprise 🙂
Laura says
Hi Kath! I really miss your organizational posts!! I would love to hear more about how you organized your office. It looks so neat!!! I love the furniture as well. Thanks for sharing.
KathEats says
Planning to share!!
Liz says
Hi Kath, I’m currently reading through your BERF posts as I’m pregnant with my first. A lot of the weekly updates are password protected. Not sure if that was done on purpose or not? I have been loving reading about your journey while I’m going through it as well!
KathEats says
Oh weird! Can you please let me know a few of them and I will check
Liz says
Starting at week 17 and going all the way until the last week of your pregnancy. The earlier ones are still accessible.
KathEats says
Liz,
I’m on this page in a different browser and I can see everything. Is this the page from which you are reading?

Celeste says
Mmm, cookies! Bet your neighbour wished you’d brought more than two! 😉
Your day sounds very productive. Goodness, though — please tell me your desk isn’t always that empty and neat! Mine is such a mess. I desperately need to clean up my home office and figure out some new organization options, but I’m too busy working in it during the week, and I haven’t wanted to waste precious weekend time doing it. Sigh. One of these days!!!
KathEats says
Well I had just moved it, but yes, it’s still very neat!
Amanda says
I ADORE Fitnessista breakfast cookies!!! SO GOOD!!!
Julie says
Love this post. Do you usually eat your supper after Mazen is in bed? I’m not usually hungry when my 3 year old eats at 5:30 pm, but then I have to wait until 7 :30pm (when he goes to bed).
KathEats says
Yes a lot of times I do, but sometimes I eat early and sometimes he eats late (like 6:30)
Sandy says
I;m part way through Elin Hilderbrand’s new novel. Are you enjoying it?
KathEats says
It’s not my favorite…
Sandy says
I agree. I usually love her work but not so much with this one.
Emily says
These are my favorite type of posts! Thanks for sharing 🙂
Kathleen says
So nice to read this kind of post again Kath! This is what I’ve loved about your blog–and missed.
Fancy says
Great post!!! Please do more of these, I’ve so missed them!
