Can I hire you to make me oatmeal for a week? I drool over yours every morning! We got snow that turned into rain and created a slushy mess. Thankfully the roads didn’t freeze overnight!
Shannon (The Daily Balance) says
love the oat cartoon – too cute!
Have a nice, relaxing day!
Kristine @ Purple Pinky Toes says
Aww well if you want some snow, feel free to come up and visit me in New England. We are supposed to get plenty! 🙂
Jenna says
sorry about the no snow chica, but at least your oats look delish as ALWAYS 😉

Ameena says
You are so lucky to have seasonal weather, even if there isn’t snow! Its going to be about 80 degrees in So Cal today. 🙁
Daria @ Daria Can Cook says
Man, we’re about to get socked with snow in the Northeast, just as I’m supposed to get on a plane. I’ll trade you! 😉
Heather @ Health, Happiness, and Hope says
Looks like a gorgeous Saturday ahead of you. And, of course, the PERFECT breakfast to start the day with. 🙂
Jessica @ Pudget: Losing Weight On A Budget says
I hope the same happens to us. They are calling for a lot of snow. I really am hoping that we don’t get any.
p.s. Your oatmeal looks awesome. Mine never turns out looking or tasting good. 🙂
Food Makes Fun Fuel says
We’re going to get a flake… and then another foot of flakes! I’m so excited
Jessica @ How Sweet It Is says
Looks very pretty there. We have about 3 inches already!
VeggieGirl says
LUCKY!!! Tons of snow here 🙁
Pam says
Enjoy your relaxing day!
Bee Happy!
christie @ honoring health says
We are getting more snow now but I am kind of thankful, I need an uber low key kind of day.
Nicole says
Man you are lucky…we have about foot at least up here in MD!! Tons of snow. I can have them truck some down there for you..lol
Brittany says
We got lots here. Don’t worry, once you move to Charlottesville you’ll get plenty of snow!
I still love your vixen mug- where is it from?
Kath says
Pottery Barn
Erin says
We have 8 inches here in DC and another 10-12 expected. Beautiful but freezing!
Kath says
HA – just realized I never finished writing this post!!! I was supposed to say “Not much on today’s agenda other than a party at our house tonight!!”
amanda @ fake ginger says
That cartoon is great! So cute! As are all your reindeer dishes. I love them.
Karla says
Party at yours house!! Very exciting!
I always want to reach into the computer and grab your oats then gobble them up! I guess I’ll just have to make my own, oh well!
gina (fitnessista) says
hey lady 😀
so you should totally do an oatmeal to-go business. oats, toppings, mix-ins, the whole shebang. you could even do it online – just package the toppings up into a little box and all the receiver has to do is cook it 😉
love the vixen mug 😀
Kath says
I would love to do something like that 🙂 But it would probably be super stressful!
Christina says
Seriously, no snow? We’re only an hour to the North (Winston-Salem) and we have about 6 inches!! Oatmeal looks fab, as usual!
emptynutjar says
That mug is so cute. The muffin and breakfast look good too!
Red Head, Yellow Dog says
that’s crazy! It was snowing like mad here in durham last night! Driving while its snowing = feels like you’re in a screen saver. very weird. of course it barely stuck and there’s not much left today. My mom told me that they had a foot of snow in asheville yesterday!!!!
Sarah R says
So sad you didn’t get any snow. We still have some on the ground from last week! Ick! I love the oatmeal cartoon, it’s too perfect. Hopefully this bowl was better than yesterday’s. I have to tell you that I love the reindeer mugs. The remind me of my grandmother. She had a set of dessert plates with those same characters on them that we would eat off of at Christmas every year.
Eileen says
Yummy oats- I love that you crumble muffins on your oats- delish!!!
Well, we got hit with a huge snow brick here in Southwestern VA. Even the Walmart is closed, which never happens and people are IN! It’s nice and quiet with birds finding our birdfeeder, so I like the downtime. We’ll bundle up later on and my blind dog will roll in the snow, seriously!!
I picked up Breathe magazine on one of my errands yesterday before the big snow hit and read your article on weight, mindfulness and the holidays. Kudos, Kath!!
Ashley says
There’s a Great Harvest near here…one day I’m going to go and buy one of those muffins! All the snow in my part of Raleigh is gone and replaced with gray skies and drizzle…bleh.
Kristie Lynn says
I was cracking up at that toothpastefordinner comic when I read it last night 🙂
Sam (Merit to the Carrot) says
I love toothpastefordinner! She makes great illustrations that my brother and I laugh at all day. See, I knew breakfast would more than make up for yesterdays!
Susan says
I’m so jealous! I woke up this morning to 6 inches and counting!
Love your reindeer mugs btw.
Traci says
Maybe our weather people wil be wrong too and we’ll miss the snow! Looks like we are in for about 12-18 inches here in the Boston area. Yuck!
courtney says
Hey Kath,
I’m just wondering, do you add 1T chia seeds before they are gelled or is that 1T in the gelled form? Thanks. Have a great day and sorry about the snow! 🙂
Kath says
I add them at the beginning dry and just cook away. they slightly gel as they cook
lynn (The Actors Diet) says
would love some pumpkin spice decaf just about now!
Cassie says
How’s the cottage cheese in the oats? I love the idea for the added protein and calcium, but I’m wondering how it tastes???
Kath says
It’s amazing. Like a cheese danish.
Estela @ Weekly Bite says
We have some serious snow falling in DC…
Have a great Saturday!
Hillary @ Nutrition Nut on the Run says
That cartoon is so you! Enjoy your open day…
Deva (Voracious Vorilee) says
Mmmmm oats are great breakfast food. 🙂 We definitely got snow – made everything all white and pretty!
Faye says

No snow – lucky!
I am in MA thinking snow is coming tonight and I have an engagement party to go to, hopefully it won’t start until late!
Love the VIXEN mug!
Happy weekend,
Katie

Jon says
we’ve got about 6 on the ground here just outside philly, pa they’re expecting about 25 inches and it’s supposed to get much harder
Jenny says
I just bought my first vegan carrot raisin cookie – a combo I’ve never tried! very excited and glad to know you are a fan 🙂
Ashley says
I finally got the peppermint creme coffee from TFM!! We don’t have them out in CO but there is one close to where my parents live in Ohio. I got that and the Winter Blend [or whatever it’s called] and my aunt got the too. We tried the pepp, SO good!!!
Emily Eats and Exercises says
A party at your house?!? I can’t wait to see – I’m sure you’re the hostess with the mostess.
Janna says
Unfortunately the weatherman were spot on for NYC. We got/are getting lotsa snow! Lucky you people!
Looks like a delicious bowl of oats. Love the cartoon 🙂
Christy says
At least you have a CHANCE of snow… our lows are in the 50’s!!! 🙁
Tracey says
Love the mug, so cute!
I think we may have gotten your snow today, in Chicago. It’s not a bad snow just flurries 🙂
Heather @ The Joyful Kitchen says
I”m loving the muffin in the oatmeal idea! You’re so creative when it comes to flavoring food 🙂
Joelle (The Pancake Girl) says
Mmm that muffin looks scrumptious all mixed in!
katherine (blissful-body) says
so jealous of your clear skies! we were dumped on in western nc! just got power from being off about 36 hours!!! hope you had a nice day!
Susan says
Ahhh!! I love Toothpaste For Dinner and that comic is SO spot on 😉
