Second time is just as sweet…
Look for it…
I wrote two recipes for O Magazine’s October issue – pumpkin recipes!
October issue. Go read it in the grocery store line!

So excited to have a gym buddy!! Sara (who is renting our old house) and I have been meeting for classes all week. We were going to run today but it’s raining 🙁 So we met for a yoga class instead.
The class was really basic, really slow and really cold! A bit disappointing. No music. No flow. I was too cold to even get a good stretch (and I had on long pants!) I don’t mind slow yoga classes – I would just really like the room to be at least warm if I’m not going to be building heat by movement.
I got home around 1:30 and a had a few Cville Clusters for an appetizer while I showered.
Lunch was a leftover No Bull burger topped with K+M and some cheese, plus cabbage leftovers – with more cheese and a drizzle of honey! <—that was good but I’m done with cabbage till next year thankyouverymuch.
Corn joined the party too
Another cluster for dessert! So good. Like cookies!

Wow!! Congrats on being feature in OPRAH! 🙂 That is such an amazing accomplishment. It makes me proud to say I am a KERF blog reader!
Casey @ Pocket Full of Sunshine says
Congrats Kath!! That’s awesome! Now I have to go buy that magazine (or take you up on your suggestion and read it in the grocery line. Can I shamelessly copy the recipes before I put it back on the rack? :))
KathEats says
Thanks guys!!
Gina @ Running to the Kitchen says
Congrats! It must be pretty cool to see your name in Oprah’s magazine 🙂
Ashley @ My Food 'N' Fitness Diaries says
Nice job on scoring another article/recipe page in the Oprah magazine! Congrats! That’s super exciting. Headed to the grocery store right now – and definitely going to check it out! 🙂
Estela @ Weekly Bite says
Congrats Kath!! I’m off to buy a magazine 🙂
Kristin @ eat healthy. be happy. live well. says
How exciting to see your name in O magazine, let alone develop recipes for it!!!! I’ll definitely check it out.
My plans changed for the day due to a minor accident, so I won’t be able to stop by the bakery to visit like I had planned on 🙁 Maybe next time I’m down there! Hope you have a great weekend!
KathEats says
Bummer. I can’t be there anyways – have a 4:00 meeting here
Ashley @ Coffee Cake and Cardio says
KATH that is so incredibly fantastic!! Congratulations!!! I can’t wait to check it out!
Ashley @ Coffee Cake and Cardio says
I have no idea why I put your name in caps. Must be a habit from writing KERF.
KathEats says
I thought you were just being enthusiastic!
lynn @ the actor's diet says
when you finished developing it, did you scream out, “pumpkiiiiiiin!”
Krissy @ Shiawase Life says
Very cool on O magazine 🙂
This post has me craving cheese…
Cat @Breakfast to Bed says
OMFG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HOLY SHITE!! WTG, KATH!!!! YOU GET A PUMPKIN AND YOU GET A PUMPKIN AND YOU GET A PUMPKIN!!
KathEats says
ha!
Katherina @ Zephyr Runs says
Awesome^! Haha – congrats, Kath on the recipes being featured!!
Allegra says
Awesome work!
I read “burger topped with K+M” and thought, “Why is she putting herself and Matt on the burger?” Maybe I was thinking that because of the K and M letters you just hung up? Oops! Then it struck me…ketchup…and…mustard. The gray day up here must be affecting my brain!
KathEats says
🙂
deva @ deva by definition says
Congratulations! How COOL is that????
Christin says
Congrats on your article, that’s huge!!
I know what you mean about cold yoga classes…I go to one on my lunch break once a week, and I have to put on the layers both top and bottom to get adequately warmed up…the teacher always tries to use the heater, but people in the class complain that it’s too warm! (I call shenanigans) bot oh well, can’t win ’em all 🙂
KathEats says
GAH!! Exercise and sweat are like sand at the beach. It’s a good thing!
Christin says
definitely!!
Kristina says
…except that yoga is actually not “exercise”, it is intended to be a spiritual practice and not just about getting sweaty and toning your abs. There are plenty of yoga studios that have more exercise-like classes, which is fine, but it’s important to remember that that is not actually the point.
Christin says
I agree with you generally speaking…except this class is pretty amateur and at a gym…I have taken wonderful spritually-based classes with the chants and meditation, etc and we were definitely encouraged to put on layers and be comfortable for that part. 😉
Laura @ Sprint 2 the Table says
How exciting! Did she personally call to tell you how awesome the recipe was?! 🙂
KathEats says
If she did, I would have fainted so I wouldn’t be here writing 🙂
Cathy says
Imagine what your future holds Kath….My guess?? TV.
Jane @ Broccolini + Cheese says
Ohh congratulations! So exciting for you! Hopefully Real Simple is next 🙂
Averie @ Love Veggies and Yoga says
Kath that’s amazing and major congrats!!!!!!! Wow, what an honor!
And slow AND cold yoga classes are not fun, at all. Sorry you had a blah experience. I know how it is wanting to get a nice flow going or good workout and when it doesnt go that way, not so fun.
Have a great weekend!
Mom says
Gosh and that copy of Oprah has been sitting in my magazine pile for two weeks. I had no clue your name was inside!
KathEats says
Can’t believe it didn’t catch you eye!
Mom says
I haven’t opened the issue yet because I didn’t know my child’s name was on one of the pages.
Gina says
So awesome Kath! Congratulations!
Eileen says
congrats on the article!!! So exciting 🙂
I am planning to *finally* sign up for the gym this weekend!! The gloomy weather this week pushed me over the edge, I need some workout options other than running. Too bad about your yoga class today. I’ll have to get recommendations for the good classes from you!
KathEats says
I wish you could slip away from work mid morning and join us!!
Johanna B says
I just happened to pick that issue up today. I enjoyed reading the pumpkin recipes but didn’t notice who had written them. Guess I’ll need to be more observant in the future.
RunEatRepeat says
Kath! That is the coolest! Love that you don’t rest on your laurels and keep the bar high. <3 you
Annette @ EnjoyYourHealthyLife says
HOW exciting!! Yah for being in O 🙂
I am all about hot/warm yoga classes with a flow<—that's a must have!

Ahhaha! I was just reading that! Congrats on the article 🙂
VeggieGirl says
I dont like slow yoga clases with no music, my mind just wonders instead of relaxing!!
CONGRATS on the Ophra mag. publication, woot woot!
Cathy says
No need to go looking for O mag. Just google it and type in the great pumpkin by kath younger and both recipes pop up. Pumpkin Pancake recipe sounds yum-o. Congrats Kath!!!

Congrats on your recipes in Oprah! Very exciting!
eliza@zestyappetite says
congrats kath! Are these clusters you snack on from your bakery?! and is there anyway to to order them online…Jersey is a little far from Va to make a day trip sadly
KathEats says
Yeah, it’s a clustery granola from our bakery. We did 2 rounds with OpenSky (1500+ bags of granola) and so we’re taking a break. I’m sure they’ll be back in time.
Lindzjane115 says
Congrats on the article! I can’t wait to check it out! Those big Cville Cluster chunks are addicting! So good for snacking, haha!

Saw the recipes on the O Magazine website! I need to start making some pumpkin pancakes ASAP. I was just at TJ’s and they had the mix, but I walked away. Now you’ve got me wanting to get back there and remedy that huge oversight!

Congratulations on the magazine! 🙂 That is so awesome! And for pumpkin recipes- double awesome! 🙂 Sorry about your yoga class. Doesn’t sound too fun. I want to find a good yoga class soo bad! My attempts at home with my kids crawling all over me just don’t do it. 🙂
ashley says
LOL….Ummm…I feel like the O mag publishers aren’t going to appreciate us reading the mag off the rack…
Kathryn says
Congrats! How in the world did you get the opportunity to write a recipe for O Magazine! do tell!!

Lara @TresLaLa says
Hahaha! I LOL’d at your recommendation to “Go read it in the grocery store line!” Wonder what the publishers would say about that! 🙂 Regardless, super exciting!
I hear you on the cabbage thing…
KathEats says
Well hopefully it would be so good you’d buy it!
Mandy A says
CONGRATS!!! That’s so awesome! I have to go check it out today!!! 🙂 Are you pinching yourself? 🙂
I was actually on Oprah recently. One their last weight loss show in May!
Greta says
Not trying to be overly critical here, but I was a bit disappointed that you would use a boxed pancake mix in this recipe. Surely you could have been more creative than that, given the fact that you and your husband own a bakery and he is clearly an exceptional baker? I’m sure he could have helped you with a delicious pancake recipe of your own. And, as a proponent of “real food”, I think it would have made more sense for you to encourage a handmade recipe rather than pushing people to boxed ingredients. Just my two cents.
Andrea @ Run, Eat, Date, Sleep says
Savvy Julie once posted about how she used boxed pancake mix, and she was told she’d be a bad mother because of it. I agree with Greta though… if it’s going in a magazine, I’d think using boxed pancake mix would be frowned upon.
KathEats says
Point noted. I think on the flip side most busy women don’t have time to make pancakes from scratch, so magazines are often looking for quick and easy ways to tweak something basic
Lisa says
No wayy would I even attempt the recipe if it required me to make my own mix. Even if its the most simple thing ever. I think that in order for the recipe to be practical, Kath felt the need to simplify it. When youre a freelance writer, you need to modify your recipes for the target audience.
Mandy A says
Agreed. Before I had my daughter, I thought I would be the mom making everything she put in her mouth from start to finish. Reality hit and that just isn’t always possible. I try to make it happen as much as I can but some times having something quick is so helpful!
