No sign of snow here! In fact, we have sunshine!!
I biked over the gym and took Body Pump. Again, Chris almost killed me on the bicep track! And on chest (I was attempting 1 large and 1 medium per side) I had to stop midway through and drop weight. SO HARD! I am still still in awe that I actually like Body Pump! Don’t mess with a good thing while it’s going.
From the gym, I flew down the hill on my bike to the bakery to meet our contractor and discuss lighting. So many decisions. It also looks like lots of rain and a new roof the landlord is putting on might delay us a week 🙁 Waaaa.
By the time I got home (a 3 mile bike ride with lots of killer hills) I was famished!
I made an amazing KERF salad – the usual ingredients – plus a nice egg on top!
And AB&J on Cranberry Orange on the side!
So delicious.
Our kitty friend’s name has evolved from Tiger to ‘The Tig’ to now, ‘El Tigre’ thanks to this funny chalkboard sign that I drew
And here’s a little playtime for you 😉
My day keeps getting interrupted with calls – to coffee vendors, GH, etc. In fact, I have another call in 2 minutes!!!
Averie (LoveVeggiesAndYoga) says
I love the kitty pics and the AB&J on Cranberry Orange. YUM!
Quick question for you…when I am using lightroom to make a photo collage like you referenced in your Home Neat Home post “On the PRINT tab, you can use templates to put photos together and then print as a JPG”…Once I make the collage and drop in the pics I want to use, I cannot for the life of me get it to “Save” or find a way to right click and export it. It’s like it’s just “stuck” there in the print tab and other than printing it, I can’t figure out how to save/export/or somehow move it.
I know you said “this new JPG goes to my IMPORT folder and then automatically appears in my photo box below so I can keep on working” — I can’t quite get there.
Sorry to bug you…I know you’re busy, Kath!
And probably beat from the great body pump class 🙂
KathEats says
The first line of the ‘Print Job’ section says “Print to:” and you see printer and a drop down menu to the right – JPG is the next selection.
And you’ve now used your one free customer support ticket 😉
Averie (LoveVeggiesAndYoga) says
I heart you. Thank you!!
I just tried it, worked like a charm. Would have NEVER seen that little tiny itty bitty drop down menu with the option for save as jpeg or figured that out in a million years.
Thanks for letting me cash in on my customer support ticket 🙂
KathEats says
🙂 It took me a while to find it, but I knew it had to exist!
Ashley says
Too funny about that cat…always coming to play! I topped my lunch with an egg as well. Can’t go wrong!!
Annette @ EnjoyYourHealthyLife says
I heart BodyPUMP! I killed me (and my class) on the biceps and lunge tracks last week –it is oodly fun to be with the members and watch them (and me!) struggle and get stronger. Cool feeling 🙂 I love eggs- great for after a good BodyPUMP class too! cute cat
Holly @ The Runny Egg says
I love that El Tigre is in a cycle on photos on the right side of the blog — he is so precious!
Your salad is beautiful — the colors so make me excited for Spring!
Beth @ Beth's Journey to Thin says
That salad looks so pretty with all the colors! It makes me think spring but I’m still holding out for warmer weather!
Lesley Lifting Life says
There’s finally sunshine here too! Now the temperature just needs to figure out how to catch up!
Freya (Brit Chick Runs) says
Such lovely cat pics! Screw the bakery, I think you should become a pro cat photographer! I’m sure the money is amazing 😛
Sable@SquatLikeALady says
I have been LOVIN’ eggs lately. Seriously — I seem to have one at every meal! haha. Hey, they’re a great source of healthy fats and protein, so I’ll ride this craving out 😉
Your kitty is just too cute! Looks playful too 🙂
Gabriela @ Une Vie Saine says
That cat looks exactly like our cat Casper when he was younger. He’s a bit grayer and rougher now at 16, but still cute!
Angela @ Eat Spin Run Repeat says
I’m not even into cats, but those photos are adorable!! I can’t believe you got all of those shots without it (or I should say, “El Tigre”!) noticing you. LOVE the looks of that salad – it’s so colourful! 🙂
Courtney @ The Granola Chronicles says
Awww, El Tigre is adorable!
Michelle (The Runner's Plate) says
I wish I could use my bike for commuting more, but sadly there is still snow on the ground and the roads are either icy (in the morning) or full of puddles (in the afternoon).
Lucy @ The Sweet Touch says
Grrrr, El Tigre strikes again!
My cats have been extra frisky these past few weeks, I think it’s the spring weather!
Christine @ Merf In Progress says
I love cats. I honestly fear that I will someday turn into a cat lady.
Christie {Nourishing Eats} says
Aw, in those pictures, El Tigre reminds me so much of my georgy kitty! So sweet and playful!
Abby says
Love the shots of El Tigre playing with the daffodils! I can’t wait to see signs of life like that around here! 🙂
NJMOM says
After my first Body Bump class I could not squat or lift anything for two days. So painful!!
Hope says
I love the pictures of El Tigre! So cute! Seeing pictures of that cat makes me want one of my own! I love the egg on the salad. So unique!
Ellie@fitforthesoul says

Kate (What Kate is Cooking) says
I wish I had a kitty to play with, although I don’t think my bird would appreciate el tigre 🙂
Elizabeth@The Sweet Life says
What a sunny and gorgeous-looking meal!
Julie says
Kath, my 7 year old son loves to look at the pictures of El Tigre! He’s one of the cutest cat’s I’ve ever seen!
KathEats says
Aww yay
Hannah @ Healthy Whip says
You make me want to try Body Pump- I’ve always been too intimidated. That cat is too cute!
Alaina says
That cat is just too adorable. And everything about this post is making me yearn even more for the spring and summer! 🙂
Anna @ Newlywed, Newly Veg says
Awww, sweet orange kitty! Makes me miss my own orange cat, Five!
You’re so active– I need to take a cue from you!
Laughter-Loving Stacy says
Ha, go Monday’s! I have loads of homework to do 🙁
Dimple Snatcher says
Love the kitty photos! Makes me think of this morning when Vex Kitty was using the litterbox and Suave Kitty went over and started poking Vex Kitty as if to say “HURRY UP MAN!!” Hahahah
Emma (Namaste Everyday) says
salad with an egg on top = my favorite lunch!
Laura @ Sprint 2 the Table says
I’ve been craving eggs like nobody’s business lately. Maybe it’s a spring thing?!
Can you please send some of the sunshine a little further south? 🙂
Erin @ Big Girl Feats says
I would not think to top salad with an egg but that is genius! Such a good idea.
Namaste Gurl says
You never fail on simpleness and presentation. 🙂
Good luck with GH stuff!
Paula says
Eeep! I want that adorable cat.
J3nn (Jenn's Menu and Lifestyle Blog) says
Awww, I love the chalk drawing of El Tigre!! So cute! He reminds me of my Gingerbread. 🙁 Only much smaller; Gingerbread was 20 lbs!
That salad looks incredible. I want it… NOW! 😛
KathEats says
I LOVE that you guys refer to him as El Tigre! Making me laugh out loud 🙂
MonsteRawr says
My kitties, who are not allowed further out of doors than our porch, are writhing in jealousy that The Tig is allowed outside in the sunshine. Or would be if they weren’t busy fighting over a used dryer sheet.
Sarena (The Non-Dairy Queen) says
I had an over easy egg on a spinach salad today for lunch that my husband made for me and it was so good…mostly because he cooked it for me and the runny egg was the perfect dressing. Love the pics of the kittie! I hope you survive all the calls…I hate talking on the phone!
Katie @ peacebeme says
I know you photoshop it, but your pictures are amazing! That egg looks so good. 🙂
Kristi @ KristiAteIt says
Never thought to put an egg on salad. Looks really good though!!
Justeen @ Blissful Baking says
We have sunshine too! Made for a lovely day 🙂

Kath! Just wanted to tell you I tried Moose Drool for the first time this weekend. It is delicious!

Lucky you to have some nice weather come back. Hoping it travels my way very soon. I would be very happy to see this snow go away again (for good)!
Lee @ Fit Foodie Finds says

lynn @ the actor's diet says
i love the shape of that bowl – everything in my life is so round!
kaila @ healthy helper! says

Kim @ Spoonful of Sass says
El Tigre is super cute. It’s fun you have a friend while you take your pictures outside. My 2 kitties pretty much take over my food photographing and sometimes they get a taste before I do!
Baking 'n' Books says
Awesome cat shots – perfect model! Runny eggs ROCK 🙂
Lisa (bakebikeblog) says
hehe you have certainly made a new friend in the Tig!!

Jo @ Jo In the Kitchen says
I love how you guys use chalkboards! I’m thinking I might have to invest in a few 🙂
Mary @ Bites and Bliss says
“El Tigre”, how cute. 😛 I take it he’s a stray that just keeps coming around? I think you may have unofficially adopted him. 🙂
Heather @ Health, Happiness, and Hope says
Ahhh, LOVE El Tigre for the kitty’s name… fits it well! 🙂
So glad to sun came out for you. Just seeing that snow was depressing! 😉

A Teenage Gourmet (Sami) says
I just got my letter today, so I signed up for “A Day on the Lawn” on April 8th! I am beyond excited, but I’m not 100% decided. I’m so, so, so happy. 😀 Charlottesville is clearly a fantastic place to live.
Laura (Starloz) says
i ‘ve only just begun to love fried eggs & oh boy the thought of one on a salad, it sounds delicious!

Yesterday’s snow to all this sunshine?! Crazy but good!
