And it hearts me!!! Check out the love note it left me in its froth –
Slept until 8:30 again and had crazy dreams – including a rubber arm that I had to move in my sleep. I think my every blood cell in my body had left my arm!
I came down and knew it was a day for a big bowl of oats – and I was starving for some!
- 1/3 cup oats, soy milk, water
- Half banana
- Pinch salt
- Splash vanilla
- 1/2 tbsp chia seeds
- 1 dried fig, 1 dried date
- Pumpkin butter
- Maranatha AB
- Toasty almonds
- Mix My Granola
Ohhhhhh yeaaaaahhhh
Grog mixed with Sea Island Coffee
Last night we were full up until bedtime from our late lunch/early dinner pizza fest, so we decided to just stay in and hydrate by the tele. The only place I could envision us going was out for dessert, so I made my own little dessert cafe at home.
Using ganache from last year’s birthday!! There was freezer burn on top, but underneath – oh my – it was fresh and rich as ever!
I made a little bowl of ice cream with Living Harvest Tempt Chocolate Biscotti, ganache and cacao nibs. The Tempt has not grown on me. I just wanted some Breyers Vanilla Bean. It just doesn’t taste like real ice cream 
I’m supposed to meet Caitlin for a greenway run at 11 and then today is totally a ME day. I’m going to go shopping this afternoon! I’ve accumulated all the "it’s your birthday month" coupons from my favorite stores

I am loving the coffee mug you have in the photos there. Do you know if there is a larger version? I love the shape, colors, and it would look very nice on my desk!
The pictures are stunning, I wish I could get as good with my humble camera phone!

It stinks when you expect something to taste like one thing and it really doesn’t. Hopefully you can get something yummy today on your shopping trip. Get some good stuff 🙂
Stephanie says

Hahaha my birthday was the 7th and I used like 15 coupons. Free stuff on your birthday (well, on ANY day!) is the best.

Hey Kath! Have recently become a BIG fan of your blog! It’s so inspiring! Thanks to you, I cooked spaghetti squash for the first time ever last weekend! Also, have been eating “overnight oats” for the past week for breakfast. SO good and a great morning time-saver!! Can’t wait to try more of your recipes.
Another grateful fan,
Lisa
