We got quite the dusting last night and woke up to the most beautiful snow day I have ever seen!!!!
The snow is like fairy dust –
Poor little frog prince – he is so cold!
I trekked out in my valentine’s PJs and boots!!!
I woke up at 6 this morning (hooray for 8 hours on the nose!) and played on my phone in bed while the sun rose. It was fun to watch the snow get brighter and brighter!
I came down at 7 and did a little computer work and set out at 8 to make breakfast for us.
I always want to do white + coconuty snow-themed oats when it’s white out 🙂
This bowl was as heavenly as the snow!!
The Mix:
- 1/3 cup oats, milk, water, pinch salt
- 1 medium banana
- 1/2 tbsp chia seeds
- Vanilla + cinnamon
Toppings:
- Crunchy coconut granola
- Butterscotch chips
- Coconut
- TJ’s PB
Opposites attract!
Check out me vs. Matt <3
We plopped our breakfast down with…..
Tina Fey!! 30 Rock and The Office were so great this week!!! Jenna is by far my favorite 30 Rock character. She always says the most hilarious things and is so naive. She’s a fantastic actress too! Dwight is by FAR the best character ever created. ‘Nuff said.
Who are your favorite characters!?
Today’s Agenda:
- Stage the whole house for sale
- Dave Farmar
- A walk in the snow!
Meg says
I’d much rather have that beautiful fairy dusting than the 4 feet we have here in Maryland! Ahh! Hope you enjoy your day and the pretty white stuff 🙂
I need to start trying to add coconutty things into my meals – where do you suggest I start? Have a favorite coconut product? Thanks Kath 🙂
Kath says
Start with regular old coconut flakes.
Andrea says
Gorgeous snow photos! I really want to start doing the Dave Farmar podcasts, but I find it difficult to motivate myself to do an at home practice. Are you ever tempted to just stop halfway?
Andrea
Kath says
Yes!
Jessica @ How Sweet says
Those are some gorgeous pictures! We love Dwight, too. Stanley is also pretty hilarious!
Heather says
beautiful snow pics! we got the snow yesterday and now ours is just ice this morning,, no more fun powder. Definately take a walk in the snow!
Jamie says
Last night was the perfect amount of snow because, in Durham at least, the snow didn’t stick to the roads so you can drive! And I love your clear glass bowl, you always have such neat serving “vessels”
Biz says
Love the snow pics! Jenna is my favorite character too – I love who she doesn’t think she is old – when she auditioned to play the part of the daughter, and they were like “you’re the Mom!”
Anna @ Newlywed, Newly Veg says
lol– there is nothing “fairy-esque” about the pounding we’ve gotten in the last week. But yours looks lovely 🙂
Christena says
Love your blog! It is my favorite foodie/healthy living blog. I just had to comment today because I completely agree that Dwight is the best character ever created! My husband and I are always quoting “Dwight-isms.” I also love, love, love Andy Bernard.
Kath says
I love Andy too!!! Esp. when Dwight and Andy sang “Country Roads” together 🙂
hemp jogger says
i’m pretty sure they sang to me, bc i’m from WV! ok, wishful thinking…
Jessica @ The Process of Healing says
Gorgeous pictures!!! Our snow is like that too… sooo fluffy. And with the sun shining on it.. it’s so beautiful. This is one of the rare times where we got snow but no sleet/freezing rain.
Yummy oats, as usual. Tina is hilarious! My favorite actor is Mathew Mcconaughey. And not just because he’s incredibly hot… he’s a good actor. And Rachel McCadams.
christie @ honoring health says
The snow looks so pretty!
Enjoy your Saturday!
Karla says
The snow is beautiful! I love when it sparkles like that! Makes it feel like a winter wonderland 🙂
I’ve never seen 30 Rock but I’ve heard great things about it!
Have a fun Saturday!
ashley says
Such pretty pictures!!
Morgan @ Healthy Happy Place says
the snow look gorgeous! We have way too much of it in the midwest, so it’s just annoying now.
Mara @ What's for Dinner? says
Happy Saturday!!
Danielle (Coffee Run) says
The pics of your *fairydust* are gorgeous 🙂
And I love the his/hers coffee!
Ashley says
Good to see you guys got snow over on the west side of the state! I drove from Raleigh to Sanford last night for a 5K that was scheduled for this morning, so I wasn’t too happy to see all the white stuff start falling last night, but fortunately the race is just being delayed a few hours. I didn’t even think something like this would happen when I signed up…!
Cole says
That dusting of snow is beautiful!
Jules @ eatdrinklivelearn says
Gorgeous snow pics! What is up with the weather everywhere this week?!
Dwight is awesome. Have you ever seen the deleted scenes on the DVDs where Rainn Wilson is just talking in character? They’re hilarious! I’m partial to Kenneth on 30 Rock, and I have no idea why. 🙂
Amelia says
Hey Kath! Love the snow! Can you believe that we got snow here in Charleston, SC? It is so awesome! They called for 2-4 inches and we definitely got it. It is so funny to watch southerners respond to snow. Our neighbors were even making a snowman! I’ll try to send you some pictures later.
Your food service rotation for your internship didn’t look too bad. I bet you are ready for the next part! It is definitely flying by.
Alison says
I never knew you’d get so much snow down there!!! I’m in WI so that is par for the course up here.
Your oats look perfectly splendid!
Rose-Anne says
Breathtaking photos this morning, Kath. Just beautiful.
I’ve been doing the free Dave Farmar yoga session on yogadownload.com and loving it! He is so funny and warm and his flow session is amazing. I’m going to click my way over to his site to check it out 🙂 I may have to copycat you today–I hope you don’t mind!
Happy Saturday, everyone!
Heather says
Looks like a great Saturday.
I love when the snow sticks to the trees like that – so beautiful and snow-globe like!
Good luck getting the house ready for viewing – seems like you’ve done so much already – you can’t have that much less to do.
Hannah says
Beautiful photos! You really capture the magical quality of light snow so well!
Jenn @ Livewellfit says
I love snow dusting like that. It is by far the most beautiful thing to wake up to sun, snow still on the trees. 🙂 My favorite part of living in New England. Even though it sure can get in the way, I find snow so perfectly peaceful. Enjoy!
Diana says
The snow looks so pretty! We need a new layer here in Ottawa! Ours is looking a little bit on the grey/brownish side. Eww.
Allie (Live Laugh Eat) says
Your camera skills are off the charts!! Reason #262626 why I need an SLR 🙂
Did you cook the oats? They look raw–muesli style…
Kath says
Hahaha
hemp jogger says
winter sure has provided most of us w/ some beautiful pics, eh? pretty breaky, too!
AGREED! this week’s episodes had me on the floor. i actually look forward to thurs nights all week just for my faves. my bffs: DWIGHT (actually have a tshirt that says ‘i heart dwight’), and KENNETH. cracks me up! but i love jim bc he makes me smile ; )
Freya @ foodfitnessandfreya.wordpress.com says
Aaah LOVE 30 Rock! Tina Fey is my favourite 😀 I’m yet to see the 2nd season though (very behind in England!)- as soon as I’ve finished Desperate Housewives season5, I’m onto 30 Rock season 2!
Love your oats, love your snow photos 🙂 (though I am MEGA relieved the snow here has melted….)
Have a good day!
Ally (Exercise and Pies) says
Your pictures look like Georgia! Snow is always so pretty and i’m gonna second someone that I need a new camera cause my old school one isn’t cutting it anymore lol
Run Sarah says
Wow, the snow looks GORGEOUS! Great pics!
Krissy (Single Serving) says
I’m very partial to Jim and Pam but next in line for comedic purposes are Michael and Dwight. In a way they are like two couples if you think about it. LOL!
Enjoy the snow. It looks pretty like that for about 5 seconds in NYC. Now it’s just slushy, gray and gross. 🙁
Angela (The Lady Loves to Eat) says
The snow look so pretty! I’m glad I can look at pictures of snow and enjoy it from a distance instead of having snow here lol!
Cynthia (It All Changes) says
Snow is pretty the first few times as long as you don’t get dumped on. Enjoy your fairy dust.
Macrae says
Hey!
The snow is gorgeous! I live in Athens, GA and that is about how it looks here! (Very rare for us)
I have a question and wanted your thoughts. CBS morning show had a clip about Obesogens: pesticides that cause you to store fat (loosely defined). Have you heard of this and if so what do you think? The clip featured the auther of The New American Diet.
Can’t wait to hear your response, and have a great day!
Macrae
Kath says
I’ve honestly never heard of that.
emily says
My favorite tv characters are Brennan from Bones and JD and Elliot from Scrubs! Your snow looks gorgeous, ours has gotten a bit brown lately.
Jessie says
Don’t you just love it when the snow outlines every branch? *sigh…*
Dwight is fantastic, but Andy gets me every time. I still love that early episode where he’s playing the banjo and singing in that high-pitched voice to woo Pam’s heart.
I was hiking in CO recently, and to my surprise a guy came running up the path with a “Schrute’s Beet Farm” shirt on. Gah, I want that shirt!
Jil says
Aww, the snow is beautiful!! I love it while it’s unspoiled…then the plows get to it…
Tammy @ Defining Wellness says
What? No pumpkin in your oats? 🙂
Ariffa says
I love it when the snow is all glittery, gorge pics =)
have a good weekend!!
Heather (Heather's Dish) says
what a fun morning! i love 30 Rock – I think Jack & Jenna are my favorites on there, but let’s get serious: I love them all!
hope you guys have a wonderful time in the snow today 🙂
Ashley says
Woww seriously gorgeous outside!!! 🙂 How fun! 30 rock + the office were awesome this week! Do you watch modern family? It had me ROLLing this week as well. Somethin about valentines day made these shows pull out all their tricks. Have a great day Kath!! I’m having my CO blogger meetup tonight…should be fun! 🙂
Food Makes Fun Fuel says
Liz always has me laughing 🙂
I have 2 unopened boxes of granola and you’re making me want to get that coconut one!
Beth (Mackattack) says
The snow is gorgeous! I really need to get back into oatmeal…yum!
The Brunette says
You have the world’s best bowls. I guess it’s only fitting for the unofficial queen of oatmeal to have such an intense, photogenic collection.
Mama Pea says
OMG, were you not DYING at the whole Sarah MacLachlan “I Will Remember You” montage?
Have you ever watched Parks and Rec? I didn’t think it was going to be funny, but now it is one of my favorites. You should check out an old episode on Hulu. This episode has a bit of a nutrition theme:

Heather @ Side of Sneakers says
Beautiful!!!
Jo @ SeekingHealthyBalance says
Loved the look of your oatmeal this morning – I mean it always looks great but I guess its the combination of oatmeal and snow that is so comforting!
Sounds like you have a busy day ahead!
Eliza says
holy moly, gorrrrgey! thought i wouldn’t miss snow after 18 years in MA, 4 in VT and then moving to Cali…I think I can settle just the visual for now; I despise being COOOLLLDDD! 🙂
Ella says
I agree, this week’s 30 Rock/The Office were HILARIOUS!!
He doesn’t get much air time, but when Creed has a cameo he always KILLS me and sometimes Kevin too… I always laugh when you specify that you’re saying “awesome” is in the Kevin voice.
I love Kenneth. He is so ridiculous it’s priceless.
Penny (Blonde Bibliophile) says
Such pretty photography!! The 3rd and 7th pictures are my favorite!!!
Teri [a foodie stays fit] says
My favorite character is Buster on Arrested Development. HILARIOUS!
lynn (The Actors Diet) says
the snow is gorgeous!!!
i love alec baldwin on that show. he’s always been a fave of mine, since the 80’s!
Laryssa @ Heaven In The Home says
How beautiful!
Erica says
Isn’t the snow pure craziness? Ours is pretty much melted now (we only got like 2 inches) but everyone was FREAKING out! Your breakfast bowl looks amazing. I love those butterscotch chips!! Have you baked with them? They make the house smell AMAZING! I hope you and the man have a wonderful Valentine’s Day!!
Carolyn says
The snow we had a couple of weeks ago was like that. Beautiful!! Since then it’s been to little to be cover enough.
marlee says
Where in the world did you get that bowl? It’s so uniqely shaped!
Kath says
Crate + Barrel
