Pancakes, as promised
Sprinkled with chopped almonds!
FINALLY some local strawberries!
I made a sauce with the Kodiak raspberry sauce (SO FRESH) and some Organic Valley Yogurt Drink Vanilla – plus chia seeds!
I heated the strawberries so they’d soften and topped it all with a blob of Maranatha Dark Chocolate AB! Mmmm! The yogurt-raspberry sauce was SO good. And the choco-strawberry combo a perfect blend as well.
Vanilla Rising Moon tea –

I stayed up late last night working. The cons (and pro!) to being self employed. But it means today I have a WIDE OPEN agenda!!! I just packed my lunch for tomorrow, so the rest of the day will be spent reading, watching House Hunters International, going to a 2:15 hot yoga class, biking to Karen’s, lounging by the pool and cooking burgers for dinner! Excitement!
I won’t be back with another post until this evening. Have a WONDERFUL Sunday!
Freya @ Brit Chick Runs says
Haha, I LOL’d at that title! I love ‘Let them eat cake’ 😀 The added ‘pan’s is wonderbar.
Sounds like you havea busy day!! I can’t do much here as it’s pouring with rain :'( Enjoy yourself anyways!
Amber K says
Sounds like a fun Sunday! I hope to have a great one as well.
I love topping my pancakes / french toast with grilled banana. So yummy!
Michelle @ Give Me the Almond Butter says
I love your toppings! So much healthier than all of the maple syrup I splurge on 🙂
Megan @ The Oatmeal Diaries says
WOW is all I can say about those pancakes. Looks like I need to get some Kodiak mix stat!

Lana says
Have you ever read anything by Michael Pollan? I had to do a lot of driving this month, so I took the audio version of “In Defense of Food” out of the library. Super interesting so far. I think you’d find it interesting. His front book slogan makes me think of you. “Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants.” If you haven’t read it, I’ll keep you posted! If you have….any comments?
🙂
Kath says
Yes – I’ve read In Defence, Omnivore’s Del. and Food Rules.
LOVE him.
Kath says
DefenSe!
Camille says
The pancakes look great! I love all the colors 🙂
Beth @ Beth's Journey to Thin says

Have an amazing Sunday, Kath!
Brazilian XOXO´s,
Gabriela
Natalie @ Keep It Sassy says
I found your blog last night and I seriously stayed up WAY too late reading through your posts! These pancakes (and pretty much everything thing else you’ve ever eaten, ha!) look DELISH. Love love love it! Have a great day off today!
Kath says
Welcome!
Kelly says
Don’t you just LOVE strawberry season in NC? It’s almost as good as blueberry season! I’ve been eating a lot of them myself lately. But, your plating is beautiful!
Kellie says
Thank you for introducing me to Kodiak Cakes. I actually lick the batter in the bowl they are so good. This is going to sound weird, but I wanted to tell you that you have the best skin. Glowing and clear. It just shows that eating real food, works.
Kath says
Thanks!! It’s Bare Minerals 🙂
Anne @ Food Loving Polar Bear says
One word. YUMMY! 😀
Heather @ Health, Happiness, and Hope says
Perfect Sunday morning breakfast! And those strawberries look amazing!
I have a quick question for you… I’m looking to buy food storage containers (like tupperware) to replace some cheap Ziploc and Glad ones that I don’t like at all. I was wondering if you or anyone else had a suggestion for good containers that can be used to store produce, leftovers, etc. as well as freezer and dishwasher safe?
Thanks! 🙂
Kath says
Hmmm… I don’t really have a recommendation. I’d try a store like Crate + Barrel or IKEA to get some nice ones that will last. Or OXO brand?
Samantha says
Heather,
I would suggest getting a set of glass storage dishes with plastic lids. You can have them in the fridge, freezer, microwave or oven (sans lids) I would avoid wasting any money on plastic containers. Plastics can leach chemicals into your foods if they are heated in the dishwasher or microwave or from hot foods. You can get a large set of Pyrex or anchor
brand for around 20 bucks at wal-mart.
Jessica @ The Process of Healing says
Well sounds like the most PERFECT day ever! Your pancakes look delicious, and that sauce is genius!
Candy Tenpas says
I live in WI and happened to find Kodiak mix at Cabela’s…of all the places! Not sure if they carry it in all of their stores but just wanted to mention it in case anyone else is looking for a retail outlet.
runnerforever says
Sounds like you have a great day planned, enjoy!
I love Kodiak pancake mix and had no idea that they make syrup, gotta get some ASAP!
Veggielady4life says
Not much better than local strawberries! They add such color to your plate!
Lauren @ eater not a runner says
I’ve gotta try that kodiak mix….looks SO good!
Erin (Travel, Eat, Repeat) says
I’m so bummed that I wasn’t hungry this morning–pancakes were on the agenda!–so tomorrow might end up being Pancake Monday. 😀
Christina says
Gosh, how does your food always look so pretty and delicious!
Have a great Sunday 🙂
lynn (The Actors Diet) says
i finally got to hit the farmers market this morning – for the first time in almost 2 months!!! so happy to have fresh, organic, local strawberries – 3 pints for $6. ahhh….
kate says
The rest of your day sounds dreamy. I cant wait to lounge poolside and eat burgers this summer 🙂
Stacey@http://stacey-healthylife.blogspot.com/ says
I love the yogurt sauce on the pancakes. I usually use applesauce and I always add fruit to my pancakes.
Kim says
Hi Kath, I’ve been following your blog for a while now and really enjoy it. Question: you put chia seeds on a lot of things…what is the health benefit of them? Or do you just like the taste? (And what the heck do they taste like?)
Thanks,
Kim
Kath says
I like their texture. They get kind of FLUFFY in liquids. Like they have a fur on them. They are super nutritious too – protein, fiber, omega-3 – you can find out more online.
Hannah says
How is it that that chia pancake sauce looks simultaneously terrifying and yummy? Hope you’ve had a wonderful,relaxing, all-about-you day!
Lisa @bakebikeblog says
oh what great pancakes 🙂 LOVE that green plate you served them on too!
Sam says
K,
If you had a 5 hr layover in Charlotte….what would you do with it? Can you tell me some great things worth leaving the airport for?
Thanks
S
Kath says
I’m not sure anything would be worth leaving for 5 hours. Would you rent a car? Cabs are pretty expensive here. If you definitely want to leave, I guess Uptown would be where I’d go. Or if the weather is nice, to the McMullen Creek Greenway for a walk and to Yoforia at Piper Glen for a snack (right at the trail head). But our airport has free internet, so I’d probably stay put with only 5 hours.
amanda says
For some reason I have been craving pancakes. Could it be I watched an old episode of Sabrina the Teenage witch where her family is not allowed to eat pancakes because they become obessed and will binge on them until they are 500 plus pounds? Or is that damn IHOP commerical I keep seeing? Who knows?!!? But by far, those pancakes looke delicious and healthy. Take that IHOP!
Cait (Cait's Plate) says
I’m dying to try the Kodiak mix. I’ve seen it forever on Jenna’s blog and always mean to get some! That sauce you made looks divine. Glad you had a good weekend Kath 😀
Kati says
Those pancakes look pretty and tasty! I NEED some Kodiak mix again. Our Tom Thumb was carrying both it and the brownie mix and now they’re gone :< Guess I'll have to break down and order from the website!
Courtney (Pancakes & Postcards) says
I just bookmarked this and saved one of the picture. Some of the prettiest pancakes I have ever seen! Plus they are my favorite food… must try to recreate!!!
