[Even if it’s not here to stay..yet!]
On mornings like this I always wake up humming “It’s a beautiful morning” by the Rascals. I just can’t help it!!
Crazy delicious oatmeal with raspberries, banana, chia seeds, Vanilla Almond granola and a heapin’ spoon of sunflower butter!!
Just couldn’t stop taking photos!!
Bakery power is on. Internet is BACK. Headed there early this afternoon!
Khushboo says
I had to a double take to see if that was cereal or oatmeal! Looks yum as always!
Allie (Live Laugh Eat) says
“Just couldn’t stop taking photos!” hahaha I know the feeling. Even after all these years :). Thank goodness for internet at GH!
Lindsay @ Lindsay's List says

It’s from OpenSky and going out on special in the next week or so – a set of four ginkos
Lindsay @ Lindsay's List says
Sold! Thanks!

Love the steam pictures! Those scream fall to me! 🙂

I’m not going to lie–the thought of fall makes me really sad inside. But your mug makes me really happy inside, so it mostly balances out. 🙂
Meredith @ Food, Shoes, and Booze says

Cait's Plate says
Oh my gosh I love those steamy mug pictures!! So comforting and cozy! Those are definite fall pictures.
And that really is a beautiful bowl. Don’t you just love when your breakfast is so pretty that you can’t stop taking pictures? Haha. Every angle just looks better than the last 🙂
That really does look awesome – the heaping spoon of sunflower butter is the best part!
Anna @ Newlywed, Newly Veg says
Love the steam pictures!! Beautiful!

I love the steam photos Kath!!! (LOL, just like everyone else whose comments I’m reading now!) Gorgeous pics this morning! I agree with you that it is beginning to feel a bit fally – NOOOOOOOO!

Chad @ thebreakupnote says
It was a marvelous morning here, as well. The sun trickled through the tree line and came over the hill as I was driving to work. The nature hippy in my soul nearly peed his pants.
Sweet and Savvy says
Those are some amazing shots !
Katie says
I love fall, love pumpkin everything! It does feel like fall, last night Mike and I went to the park for a walk, was so nice out, felt like fall weather!
LOVE your new header! In love with it! I love mine, but I really want to be in love with it, I need a change up !

sara @ real fun food says
I see sunflower butter so much but STILL haven’t tried it!!! I feel like I’m missing out!
Sarah @ Sarah's Modern Bites says
BEAUTIFUL pictures of the steam rising from that gorgeous mug! What a pretty way to start the day 🙂
SO glad to hear you’re back in business!
Just out of curiosity… have you ever or known anyone who has tried to make sunflower butter?? I attempted a couple weeks ago and it was a massive FAIL.
KathEats says
I haven’t…I bet it would be hard
Lara @ TresLaLa says
Read this yesterday… Chelsey’s coconut sunflower seed butter… Enjoy! http://cleaneatingchelsey.com/2011/08/15/coconut-sunflower-seed-butter/
Frances says
Totally off the subject…Your Greek Quinoa Salad from a few years ago…will it keep and still be good for a few days do you think? I was planning to make it ahead for a side dish (w/o shrimp) when we go camping. Think it’ll be good after being in the cooler for a day or so? Should I leave anything out and mix it in before serving? Thanks.
KathEats says
I think without the shrimp it should be OK
Tighe says
This looks like such a delicious and relaxing breakfast! Those are some awesome pictures, Rudi’s likes the twist of adding sunflower butter to your morning mix!
Thanks for sharing, showed this to everyone in the Rudi’s office and it definitely made everyone’s day a little brighter!

Ash @ Good Taste Healthy Me says
I love Fall! It’s my favorite season and I can’t wait! Apple pie will soon be upon us!
Margaret says
This is my first time posting after reading your blog for a few months 🙂
Just wanted to drop in and say I bought a jar of sunflower butter today and love it. I never would have strayed from peanut butter, but you make sun butter look so good!
KathEats says
🙂
Tessa @ Amazing Asset says
I’m psyched for fall 🙂 All of the colors, fresh food, great weather… yes!
Meredith says
That bowl of oats is gorgeous – I understand why you couldn’t stop taking pictures! 🙂
The thought of fall makes me sad, since it means school is starting back up, but I do love fall weather- so perfect for running!
kaila @ healthy helper! says
fall is my favorite season….but i have to say i’m definitely gonna miss all the beautiful summer weather!
Hillary says
Kath, you really could have a side job as a food stylist/photographer. These pics are fabulous.
KathEats says
Thanks!
Baking N Books says
I think that would actually be a big part of her current job description!
Shannon @ My Place In The Race says
Love the mug shots!
Fall is my favorite! I’m in Alabama and the weather has been really nice the last couple days. A treat after the humid summer we’ve had. Enjoy!
Hilary says
Don’t talk about fall to me please (yet). I’m a teacher, and right now to me, fall is a 4 letter word. I don’t like to think about fall until at least after my birthday (Thursday). On the upside, oatmeal looks great! 😉
Namaste Gurl says
Your oatmeal always looks SOOO yummy, that even when I’m not hungry I want some 🙂
Have a wonderful day!
Sara says
Glad your internet is back at the bakery! I won’t believe it’s fall until there is lots of pumpkin in your oats. 🙂
Courtney says
I was dreaming about a trip out to Carter Mountain for apple and pumpkin picking the other day. Must have been the rain and the cooler mornings!
Stef @ Living HI says
I am glad that the issues with the bakery were resolved, what a headache that must have been! Have a good day!
Chelsea @ One Healthy Munchkin says
I love that the cooler mornings mean fall is coming. I can’t wait!
Abby @ Abz 'n' Oats says
So glad the bakery is back up and running! 🙂
Rosa - Fitness, Food, Fulfilled says
Why don’t my oatmeal bowls ever look as pretty as yours? The nut butter in the middle would be the last thing I’d eat out of there. Best for last!
Kristina says
Fall mornings are the best! And I’m SO glad you have your internet back – right after college, I worked at a shoe store and one day our internet went down..it was a nightmare! Everything had to be either done manually, or not at all…ugh, I feel you!
katie @KatieDid says
I noticed the hexagon lens flare in those coffee cup pictures, and I just staretd using the 35mm lens as well and love the cool flares it gives off. I’ve read that its ‘technically’ not good photography but I could care less because I love the artsy vibe it gives to photos. I can just feel and practically breathe that crisp autumn morning air straight through your pictures!
KathEats says
I like them too!
Jackie @ That Deep Breath says
It really is beginning to look like Fall! Beautiful mug!
Sarah@The Flying ONION says
I’m excited/sad about the fall weather coming along. Part of me feels it’s too early (give me the beach!) The other part of me is excited for new fall flavors and fun.
These pictures SCREAM fall, which is making me excited…love the steamy mug shots! 😀
Dee says
this post = LOVE. 🙂
Angel7 says

Tine says
I looove your breakfast pictures!
Can I ask you which program you use to make a collage with your pictures? I like it!
KathEats says
Adobe Lightroom
Alaina says
That cereal looks sooooo good! I can’t wait for the fall!! Seriously my favorite season. 🙂
Victoria @ The Pursuit of Hippieness says
Those steamy shots are gorgeous! I always have trouble taking pictures of hot drinks 🙂
Erin says
Fall is my favorite season…too bad we keep getting sent to places that have NO fall! Four seasons will probably be the best part of moving back to VA in a few years.
Katherina @ Zephyr Runs says
Awesome tea pictures; sometimes it’s so hard for me to capture the steam!
Bry says
what brand of granola is that? looks so good!
KathEats says
It’s from the bulk bins, but I’m pretty sure it’s Nature’s Path
Hannah says
So pretty!
Lexi @ A Spoonful of Sunshine says
I love when food both looks pretty and tastes good!
It’s like double happiness 😉
Bonbon says
you are an expert on food photography 🙂
Charissa says
Breakfast is the best meal of the day. Forever and ever. Amen.
Love the photos…especially the steamy tea!
Kath says
That oatmeal looks AMAZING!!
Question: Where did you get your spoon? I LOVE it!!!
KathEats says
It’s an antique from my grandmother
