KERF reader Becca sent this adorable button to me in the mail! How appropriate – pumpkin and all!
Real food breakfast, made with pumpkin love: Coach’s oats, chia, milk, water, salt (no banana – I’m out 🙁 ), 1/2 cup pumpkin and 1/4 cup cottage cheese, stirred in at end. Plus Cville Cluster (the last bit – no clusters left!) and Barney Butter
Frothy birthday tea – because today is LARZIE’S BIRTHDAY!!!
Happy 26th!!!!!! [So jealous]
I’m all showered and things because Matt and I are going to a presentation this morning!
Krissy @ Shiawase Life says
Yay! happy lucky birthday to your sis 😀 I love that button too, how fun!
Have a great Tuesday, Kath!
Cait's Plate says
Ah! Happy birthday Larbs!!
I had pumpkin Coach’s Oats the other day too – SO SO delicious! Also? I LOVE the last bits of Cville Cluster…almost as much as the delicious clusters themselves!
Have a great day Kath! 🙂
Jessica / Green Skies and Sugar Trips says
this reminds me, thank you for your love of oats, I am so in love with all things oats now! AND now that it’s fall I am (like you) putting pumpkin in them in every way possible! It is making my morning spectacular!!!!
KathEats says
🙂
Katie says
I get disappointed when there are no clusters left in my granola! 🙁 I also have to comment on your frother, because I ordered one from Amazon last week and CANNOT wait to use it. I’m hoping it gets here today. Oh it’s the little things that make a girl happy. 🙂 Have a wonderful Tuesday!
Maria @ Sinfully Nutritious says
You inspired my oatmeal breakfast. I usually want savory and use my oatmeal as a afternoon snack, but today I had what was like an oatmeal raisin cookie in a bowl. Thanks for the inspiration.
Aine @ Something to Chew Over says
Such a cute button!
I have GOT to get a frother 🙂
Colleen (What's Baking in the Barbershop) says
What a cute button! I have been on a pumpkin craze ever since fall officially began… Just can’t get enough! 🙂
Kelly @ Laughter, Strength, and Food says
Honestly…cutest little button I’ve ever seen!
Christine @ Oatmeal in my Bowl says
Totally cute button! Real food, home cooked meal is SO much better than a quick meal from fast food.
Have fun at your presentation! It’s not a time share presentation, is it? 😉
Khushboo says
Happy birthday to your sis!
Laura @ Sprint 2 the Table says
That button is awesome! They should have been selling those in Italy when I was at the Slow Food epicenter. Marketing miss! 🙂
Sweet and Savvy says
LOVE that button!:) it is so appropriate!
Mom says
LOVE the button. I need one for my button collection! I’ll trade one back.
Happy Birthday to Larzie. The first birthday was happy too. I know–I was there!
Jenn says
I soooo love that button. I had overnight oats that tasted like pumpkin pie (so sad that I used up the last of the pumpkin pie spice). Soooo in love with pumpkin! Mmmmm….
Lynn @ the actor's diet says
Woah perfect button!!!
Gina @ Running to the Kitchen says
Happy bday to Larbs! Didn’t realize you guys had birthdays so close together. What a perfect button 🙂
[email protected] says
That button was made for you! Such a great find. Your oatmeal looks beautiful – per usual. 🙂
Lauren @ What Lauren Likes says
Great pin! I love it 🙂
Averie @ Love Veggies and Yoga says
Cute pin and love the embroidered dish towel. So sweet!
Caitlin says
That button is SO cute – I want! Do you know where the reader got it?
KathEats says
I don’t 🙁
Kati Mora, MS, RD, Kellogg's FiberPlus(R) Wellness Advocate says
Glad to see you were able to grab some breakfast for your birthday! It looks birthday worthy and I’m especially digging the pumpkin right now. Still contemplating whether I should add it to my bowl of Kellogg’s FiberPlus in the morning…any thoughts?
Katelyn @ Chef Katelyn says
Aweeeee love dem buttons!!!
kathleen @ the daily crumb says
happy birthday!!
i love real food these days too, kath… and its your blog that got me that point after years of fake diet foods and additives. yuck! give me veggies, please!!
Ashley @ My Food 'N' Fitness Diaries says
That button pin is so cute! It’s perfect for you. Happy Birthday to Larzie! I just checked out her blog too – I love it!
Cat @Breakfast to Bed says
that bowl is tilted and I love it. Also? what makes you use water instead of milk? I tend to use vanilla almond milk for the sweetness. It doesn’t taste like barney butter flavored cardboard soup?
KathEats says
I use 50% water/50% milk – always. I get the protein + cream of milk plus the plumping and volume of the water
Susan (Oliepants) says
I love the button and I really need to jump on the pumpkin because I’m totally missing out this year!
Karen says
Love the ‘real food’ button! And, a huge happy birthday to your sister!
Annette @ EnjoyYourHealthyLife says
Cute button!! Have fun at the presentation–and happy birthday to the sis!
Emily@SavoryandSavage says
Great button – I found a store in midtown Manhattan that specializes in organic steel cut oatmeal – you would love it 🙂
Ashley @ Coffee Cake and Cardio says
Adorable button!! You have some awesome readers 🙂
Kim @ Spoonful of Sass says
Every time I see those bowls they make me think of the big retro swivel chairs…like the one the kid has in his room in Sleepless in Seatle! Totally random, I know!
Krystina (Organically Me) says
Happy Birthday to your sis!
Alaina says
Happy Birthday to your sister!! Hope you have a great day!!
Angel7 says
Love the button!

Katie @ Peace Love and Oats says
Haha I had the opposite problem this morning: I was all put of pumpkin, so it was banana oats for me!
Sarena (The Non-Dairy Queen) says
How could people not like real food when it looks and tastes like that? Good luck today!
Katie says
Happy Birthday to your beautiful sister!!
I have never tried coachs oats, Im tempted to ; )
Have a great day Kath! <3
~Christy @ wonderofallthings says
I love real food, too! (And your blog, but that goes without saying…) 🙂 Have a good day!
Anna @ On Anna's Plate says
Aww, love that button! Happy birthday to your sis!
Health Bee says
Love your breakfast ideas! That’s a cute button.
Katie @ Talk Less, Say More says
What a cute pin – and a HAPPY BIRTHDAY to your sister! 🙂
A M says
Kath, you should try the line of nut butters by Peanut Principle. My favorite is their Banana Peanut Butter. YUM!
KathEats says
Havent’ heard of those! Where do you get them?
Lauren says
Just did the cottage cheese into pumpkin oats today. I forgot how good it was!
Meg says
The oats look fabulous! I am so making those 😀 YUM! <3
Lissa says
Been wondering how Karen is doing. She has been on my mind and hoping she is recovering like she is supposed to be. Not meaning to pry, just think of her so often with this being ‘Cancer awareness’ time of the year.
KathEats says
Thanks for asking – she’s good, and she’s actually in ITALY right now on a bike trip! That’s why she’s been MIA.
Angelea says
Wow! How fabulous. I hope she’ll share a few photos when she returns. Go, Karen! 🙂
Katie says
Where did she find that button? I need one, or one box full! I had pumpkin oats this morning and just made some pumpkin bread. I just bought 12 cans of pumpkin that were on sale for $0.99 (just the 15 oz, not the monstrous 6 or 7 lb cans like you are able to get). I’ll certainly be heading back to buy some more later this week. Happy 26th birthday to your sis, 26 sounds so young! Hope you enjoyed the presentation – did you guys present or were you just attending?
Larbs says
Thanks! Too bad I’m not getting a huge 26 ganache cake!
Diana @ frontyardfoodie says
Pumpkins DO equal love. hehe
Hope says
That pin is so cute! I love those oats! They are just so fluffy! Happy Birthday to your sister! 🙂
Christina says
Love love love that button!!! So cute and appropriate for October 🙂
Alli @ An Open Cookbook says
Such a good idea to add pumpkin (in addition to all the other goodies) to oatmeal!
Julia H. @ The Petite Spiel says
I want to go swimming in that bowl of oatmeal and never come back out.
Chelsea @ One Healthy Munchkin says
Happy birthday to your sister! 🙂
This post made me realize it has been way too long since I last had pumpkin oatmeal! That needs to change pronto.
Noelle says
Kath, do you use no salt added cottage cheese or just regular low fat cottage cheese? I’ve been wondering this forever and finally took the time to ask!
KathEats says
Regular ole organic low-fat
Becca says
So happy that the pin arrived safely! I definitely squealed when I saw it featured on the blog today.
Glad to see so many other people liking the pin too! Looks like we all <3 real food.
KathEats says
OH yay – thanks so much!!!!!!!
Kayleigh says
Happy Birthday to your Sis! And gotta love the pumpkin. I started following your blog last year and saw that you put pumpkin in your oatmeal. I tried it and I am hooked! When the fall season comes, I can’t wait to have my canned pumpkin!
AnneKatherine says
Mmmmmmm! Love pumpkin!
DO YOU KNOW WHERE SHE GOT THE BUTTON??!!!
KathEats says
I do not..
AnneKatherine says
Ok, thank you!!
Lindsay says
