I had breakfast in my homeroom today before I head off to first period
The Mix:
- 1 container Stonyfield Pumpkin yogurt
- ~1/3 cup pumpkin
- Cinnamon
- 1/2 banana
- TJ’s pumpkin butter
- ~1/3 cup Kashi Warm Cinnamon
- ~1/4 cup Mix My Granola
- NUTTZO!
My honda with no wheels [hope that isn’t a bad omen!] floating in Christmas Blend Decaf and a new flavor I was sent to review: Caftea Chocolate Cherry Cordial. So far, delish!
Re. brushing my teeth. I always brush them first thing! Wouldn’t leave the house without that. But I usually brush them again after breakfast. I’ve used those Wisps before and LOVE them, but they are so expensive that I can’t see using one everyday! I think I will just finish my coffee and then swish with water a bit. I don’t chew gum (the sugar alcohols mess up my GI tract) so I could also pop an Altoid if I need it 🙂
I’m off!
Mandy says
Ah i keep forgetting how good pumpkin is in oatmeal. Although i think i’ll have to get a little further from the holidays to try that.
Also wish that My My Granola company shipped outside of the states.
Anyways, your breakfast looks delicious, and i wish i could coax myself out of bed as early as you do.
Pat says
Hmmmp. I live in Alaska, which is in the states, and many places, including Amazon, won’t ship “grocery” products here. Found this out when I wanted to buy coffee pods for my new Keurig coffee maker.
Simply Life says
Oh I’ve never had Nuzztzo – looks good!
Jessica @ How Sweet It Is says
I do the same thing with brushing my teeth, I need to brush them again! That coffee sounds divine…
christie @ honoring health says
Have a great day, Kath!
I normally brush in the am and then rinse with mouthwash after. Works pretty well. I also keep a toothbrush at work and am thankful to work in a place that has toothbrushes and mouthwash on hand when needed 😀
sarah (shep) says
your breakfast setting looks so serene and calming! hope your commute is worry free today
Estela @ Weekly Bite says
Cherry Cordial Coffee?! YUM!
Have a great day!
zestycook says
Interesting fact about the Gum Kath! I never would have thought. Have a great day!
Madeline @ Greens and Jeans says
That coffee looks good! Can you taste the cherry flavor? I have a 30 minute commute to work and I always drink my coffee in the car. I have started keeping a toothbrush at work just for that reason! Of course, it sounds like you guys hit the ground running so that might not be a possibility for you.
Anne Marie@New Weigh of Life says
Looks awesome!
Tiffany says
Wow, that sounds like a very pumpkin-y breakfast! Pumpkin yogurt + pumpkin + pumpkin butter = yum!
Lindsay says
Homeroom! You are too cute Kath. Have a great first period 🙂
Sarah (Running to Slow Things Down) says
Have an awesome day, Kath!! Looks like a great breakfast to start your morning off right! 😀
Shannon (The Daily Balance) says
interesting looking PB! Multi-nut, huh? Which ones are in there?
Kristen @ Change of Pace says
Hmmm I dunno about chocolate cherry coffee. I do love flavored coffees though! I hope you have a good day today. It’s FRIDAY 🙂
Jenn (www. j3nn.net ) says
The mix in the bowl looks so cozy and yummy. You definitely love pumpkin! lol

Morgan @ Life After Bagels says
Hey I did my first yoga download last night thanks to your serenity post, it was awesome!
theemptynutjar says
You are a-a-a-amazing my dear…i continue to read…but trying not to comment as much cuz u have enuf on your plate as is 🙂
dont know how u do it !
Kaite says
I learned this one from my mom but we both keep toothbrushes in our desks and I keep floss in my purse. People don’t look at me too funny when I brush my teeth in the public restroom at work ;). Good luck with your busy busy days!
Foy Update - Cook. Garden. Write. Repeat. says
Flossing in public always makes me think of the movie “Pretty Woman” when Julia Robert’s character won’t tell what she was doing in the restroom or what she is hiding in her hand. When he finally gets her to open her hand all she has is floss. It’s funny that people feel uncomfortable brushing and flossing in front of others. Maybe I’ve shared too many small spaces with groups of people, but I don’t really think twice about it.
Nicole @ kismetsbooty says
One of the woman at my work brushes her teeth after every meal! So just stash a travel toothbrush and tooth paste in a baggie in your purse and brush when you get to the nearest bathroom. I have one in my desk just in case. Happy Friday!!!!
EL says
I keep a toothbrush at my desk and a travel one in my purse.
Casey (@Spicy&Sweet) says
Good teeth-brushing plan. 🙂 I always love your placemats and pretty candles, by the way!
Danielle (Coffee Run) says
I never brush my teeth before breakfast b/c then it tastes all minty!
That coffee sounds reallllyyyy good
Jordan @ Salt Sweat Sugar says
I finally gave in and bought some Warm Cinnamon Heart 2 Heart. I can’t wait to try it!
Cait (Cait's Plate) says
WHAT! THAT’S what Nuttzo is!?! Mixed nut peanut butter!? That’s so amazing!
Kathleen says
Stonyfield Pumpkin yogurt ??? Have never seen this flavor! Jealous! I live in Central California and I am always looking for great things like this…the search is on! You always get such great finds!
Freya @ foodfitnessandfreya.wordpress.com says
The sugar alcohols mess up your GI tract? What does that mean? I chew LOADS of gum, I’m addicted and I’d love to stop (it’s exspensive :p), would that be a good reason to lol?
Oh my, your breakfast looks amazing!! All the granola and yogurt and nut butter…a bowl of deliciousness 🙂 Have a good day!
Kath says
I means my bowels do not move normally!
Lauren @ Eater not a runner says
You have me totally addicted to Nuttzo! It is awesome 🙂
Heather @ Health, Happiness, and Hope says
Haha, oh the memories of middle school. 😉 LOVE this neat breakfast mix Kath! You can never have too much pumpkin!
katherine says
I have the same issue with gum! It actually also gives me migraines, probably as a combination of the tension/pressure caused by chewing and the artificial sweeteners. I can’t even have artificial sweeteners in my coffee anymore (though I suppose that’s probably a good thing, right?!).
Molly says
I carry around a mini-bottle of mouth-wash and some water. That way your breath will be fresh!

Jenny says
I see a lot of women brushing their teeth in the bathroom – you could just try that?
Amanda @ Cakes and Ale says
I try not to brush my teeth more than three times max in a day because doing so can erode your enamel, which leads to cavities and other issues. Some people are more senstive to this than others (have thinner enamel) so I don’t know whether or not it matters for everyone…
Christina says
Are those cheerios in your oats? Looks delicious!
Cathy P says
I keep some mouthwash in the downstairs bathroom to get the coffee stain and coffeee breath out. I don’t like gum b/c it’s too sweet and the mouthwash helps clean the teeth a bit more, plus it’s fast!
Beth @ DiningAndDishing says
I am like you and like to brush my teeth right away! Then I usually have a mint after my morning coffee at work and pack a little toothbrush to freshen up after lunch. Works for me!
Heather @ The Joyful Kitchen says
what a great coffee flavor! hope you have a great day after homeroom 🙂
Allison K says
I really like your great harvest mug!
Jen says
I love the fact that you post so early! I’m a teacher and I love checking your blog first thing in the morning. As for brushing, I keep a toothbrush in my desk. I used to be embarrassed to brush my teeth in the middle of the day in the faculty bathroom but I realized that I was being silly. It’s a healthy habit and more people should do it! And, on the embarrassing topic…gum gives me gas. 🙁 I hear that’s fairly common.
Naomi (onefitfoodie) says
DELISH breakfast, I need to get some warm heart2heart! I see it everywhere with AMAZING reviews!
have a great friday kath 🙂
skinnyrunner says
have a fun day at “school”! good thing its friday!
Stef says
your wheel less honda is too funny. hope you have a great day!
Jill says
Any candle suggestions for a newbie–mine never last–where do u get yours..target…as presents?
Kath says
Mine are all gifts!
ellen eats beets says
As usual, a delicious looking breakfast!
Food Makes Fun Fuel says
This post reminded me–I heard there’s a coupon for Open Sky and I was wondering if it worked for your store? So that I could restock on my NuttZo and get a deal 🙂
Kath says
YES it will work. I think it’s REDESIGN for 10% off
Katharine says
Chocolate cherry coffee sounds phenomenal! And your day at the school yesterday looks like it was so much fun!
Mae @OhhMay says
Ahh I hate sugar-free gumm too! Sugar alcohol makes my stomach explode!
Ashley says
Ahhh 2 great minds think alike! I also had pumpkiny oats this morning, minus the yogurt. I even had the TJ’s pumpkin butter that I picked up while I was in Ohio =) Have fun in first period!
Sarah says
I can’t chew gum anymore either for the same reason! Hope you have a good day at school 🙂
Carolyn says
Is this kinda like reading tea leaves? 😉
Ali @ Food, Fitness, Fashion says
What 3 nut butters are in Nuttzo????
Jil says
MMM Nuttzo! and that coffee sounds awesome! 🙂
anonymous says
This is kind of a bizarre question and not at all trying to offend anyone. but I was wondering about the hubby’s weight loss. It seems that you two eat SO healthfully, but over the course of your blog it looks like hes lost maybe a little more than he needed? I hope this isnt uncalled for, but should we be a lil worried? I think its important to recognize insecurities/body image with the male population as well.
Kath says
I don’t think you should be worried 🙂 You should see how much bread he eats. And he’s at a perfectly healthy weight for his height.
Amanda (Two Boos Who Eat) says
I brush my teeth before and after too. I wish those wisp things were cheaper because I love them! Maybe Costco sells them in bulk?
mrs. smith says
Gum has always made my stomach hurt too! No one else every understands that, but I’m glad to know someone else who both feels the same and has a technical explanation for why!
Ashley says
Hi Kath! I’ve found that sugar alcohols bother me too. but tons of bars have them! Arg! do you know of any yummy bars that don’t have sugar alcohols? i like the doughy kinds, not a big lara bar fan.
thanks!
Kath says
I like the Larabar kinds, so I don’t know. Perhaps try Kashi or Bear Naked’s bars?
Heather (The Single Dish) says
Altoids are great, so strong!
A Paris Food Blog says
can i ask what kind of pumpkin you use in your oatmeal? it always looks so good and cozy! is it real pumpkin, sliced and pureed at home? canned? frozen? i almost use frozen pumpkin because my knife skillz are terrible
Kath says
Libby’s 100% Pure Canned Pumpkin.
Sarah (OC2Seattle) says
I love that your “back in school”! And yes, the wisps are pricey. What about a bit of apple?
Hillary @ Nutrition Nut on the Run says
You sure love your punkin! ; )
Jenn@slim-shoppin says
I’ve never seen that brand of PB before, I’m going to try to find that. It looks so good.
Sarah says
I keep a bottle of mouthwash in my desk at work – not quite the “sharp” clean feeling of just after brushing, but definitely makes me feel fresher after a snack or coffee!! I love that you had breakfast by candle light 🙂
Chelsea (Chelsea's Chew and Run Fun) says
Beautiful breakfast bowl, Kath. I’ve been searching high and low for that Stonyfield Pumpkin yogurt, but always end up empty handed at the store. You’d think in a city like New York, with all of its vast excesses I would find it…but alas, no dice.
Have a great day at school! 🙂
JENNA says
need to find nuttzo asap!! it sounds so interesting! Hope your day is going fab!
Good Taste. Healthy Me says
YUM! I am definitely going to be making this breakfast next week.
Have a great day!
Margie says
What about a small bottle (travel size) of Scope in your purse – a little swish, a little spit and you’re good to go! Love your blog!
Jenna says
Lots of pumpkin in those oats- look great though!!
Jenna
Cynthia (It All Changes) says
I wouldn’t have thought to brush again after eating. But sounds like you have a good idea. And I agree about the sugar alcohols. I can’t chew it either.
Lisa (bakebikeblog) says
What an awesome looking breakfast! I love your placemats too!
lynn (The Actors Diet) says
i miss having a homeroom in school….i wishi i could go back to high school, knowing all i know now!
Sheila | Live Well 360° says
Hey Kath. I am working on my business plan this week. Since its a living document (changes as your biz grows), I revise it every 3-6 months. Even though I have yet to release my product, it’s changed a ton already over the past year when I originally wrote it!
Anyway, wanted to let you know that your RSS feed isn’t working (the one at the top of your home page).
Take care and have a great weekend!
Sheila
Kath says
Bummer – I have no idea how to fix that!
Carla says
I just discovered your blog. Love it! Very inspiring.
