I stayed up too late playing with Matt, who arrived from Boston around 9pm. He’s in town for a wedding and stopped in for a quick overnight before we had to leave for our own wedding.
Kanz was quick to bring out 3 of his beers for a tasting! (Happy National Homebrew Day!!!)
I went to bed around 11 and got up at 5:45a. I am VERY grumpy when I don’t get enough sleep, so I see a nap in store on our car ride down (thanks to Matt for driving most of the way!! Usually we have to be all equal about our relationship and drive 50/50, but sometimes he’s nice and does some of my part.
I had to leave the house at 7a for my presentation and Matt II had plans to go mountain biking at 7 with friends, so we both had to get up at the crack of dawn and be on our way. He requested oatmeal, but we realized last night we wouldn’t have time, so we decided on smoothies and Great Harvest buns.
We split a Banana-Mango Smoothie –
2 servings: 1 banana, 1 mango, 1 big tbsp flax, 1 cup vanilla soy milk, 1/4 cup raw oatmeal (SO GOOD in smoothies!), a handful of ice and about 1/4 cup Stonyfield yogurt – the end of my container. Delish!
We also split the bun, toasted with Barney Butter + Blueberry Preserves from TJ’s.
I also had half a cup of coffee as I raced out the door to get me a little drunk before my presentation!
30 minutes later I was standing in front of my Food Science class and talking about my experiment results (overripe bananas rule!
) Luckily my professor let me go first and slip out when I was finished so we could make it down for the wedding events.
Happy Summer!

Hi Kath, I have been downloading different yoga workouts from the yogadownload.com site. I love them. Do you know of any sites that have workouts that show routines using light hand weights, that you can download? I’m looking for different routines I can do at home before the kids wake up! I have tried Self.com and other magazines, but don’t reallyl get much out of them. Thanks for your amazing blog! Elizabeth

Have fun at the wedding…I love seeing pics of American weddings..they are so white and serene. Mine was Indian – all reds, oranges and yellows. There were a 1000 people and it was as if I was the the star of a concert. 🙂
Christina says
I love weddings, hope you have a great time!
Heather says
That smoothie looks amazing! Thanks for the recipe… I’m going to have to try that out for myself!
Just to let you know, I tried out plain, no-sugar added applesauce in my oats this morning. AMAZING! Just a hint of sweetness! I explain it all on my blog, but I just added about 1/3 cup applesauce about a minute after I put in the oats and banana. You should definitely give it a try!
I just wanted to say thanks for answering all my questions! I totally appreciate how you take the time to do that! 😀
Elizabeth says
Mmm – breakfast looks good!
I :heart: napping in the car – so I’m a little jealous. 😉 Have a great time at the wedding!!

MMmm I love Trader Joe’s blueberry jam, the taste reminds me of marionberry pie filling. YUM! (an Oregon berry that is so tasty!)
Justy2003 says
Yay for it officially being summer for you! At least school is flying by for you…you’ll be an RD in no time!

Lydia Segui says
Love your blog. I’m so happy there is someone else who loves food like I do. By the way, have you read the book Food Matters by Mark Bittman. It’s very good. Enjoy your wedding. Congrats on finishing your exams.
Christine says
Glad your presentation went well and have a great time at the wedding!!! Your lucky, I’m starting finals next week! I wish my summer was starting!
Nicole says
Yay! Have a great weekend!

Hope the presentation went well- overripe bananas totally do rule 😉 Have a wonderful weekend!
Oh She Glows says
And I did intend to wish you congrats on your summer break! haha. Sorry I was blinded by oats + smoothie dreams.
Courtney (The Hungry Yogini) says
Yay!!! Happy Summer!!! Enjoy it my friend!
Hallie says
Good job on the presentation!
If my man ever “requested oatmeal” I think I would fall over in shock. He requests pancakes, but never oatmeal. Actually he requests waffles the most, but that’s just to be funny/annoying since we don’t have a waffle maker 🙂
Angie says
Congrats on summer break finally! Have a wonderful trip to Charleston! Such a beautiful city!
Foodie (Fab and Delicious Food) says

sue says

Sarah (lovINmytummy) says
Hope you get a nap in the car and crash that wedding for me!
If bed rest has taught me anything, its that you gotta work that open bar and conga line while you can.
Kath says
elizabeth ,
Sorry, I don’t know of any others. Maybe some pilaties ones would be more strength oriented?

Heather ,

Lydia Segu,

Happy summer to you!
Raw oats in a smoothie DOES sound pretty good!
gina says
that smoothie sounds delicious! you should add it to your recipe list! =)
Stacey says
Lucky! Ive been wanting to go to Whole Foods for forever! I dont know why Charlotte hasn’t gotten one yet!
Vanilla says
Nice! I love the smoothie. But in the end I notice you drank coffee? How often or how many times do you drink in a day? I myself is a coffee drinker but I tend to add vanilla powder to my coffee to add some delicious taste.
Michelle Hisae says
Hahaha drunk from coffee. Cute.
