I moved from being “on a roll” to on French toast!
Last night was a success: bath + reading. I didn’t do yoga, but I did get a massage for my tense shoulders 😉
I decided yesterday to move my workout from early AM to late PM, so I’ll be doing something active this afternoon after a day of sitting at my desk working. But I did get up and do yoga this morning!! In my bedroom again, which I loved. I’m sure I’ll get sick of that in a few weeks and will move to another room! The dining room table perhaps? J/K.
After yoga I came down for breakfast. I didn’t know what I wanted! I didn’t want pumpkin oats, and we’re still out of bananas. It was a little too cold for yogurt and cereal wasn’t appealing. I remember the Fruit + Grain Great Harvest Bread Matt brought home on Tuesday and decided on that (he seemed to get his feelings hurt when he asked me yesterday why I hadn’t eaten it). Then I decided to have an EGG with it. But after getting the egg out, French toast popped into mind and breakfast was born. So much mental energy to decide what to eat!
I took the egg, mixed it with some milk and vanilla and dipped the bread in. Seared on both sides for 3-4 minutes. Topped with some Naturally More and maple syrup!
On the side, I got my fruit + dairy. ~2/3 cup TJ’s greek with blueberries, blackberries + flax.
And some coffee, which was gross and bitter today. Not sure why?
Bar Swap
Reader Anne has some Pear Strudel Clif bars she wants to swap with someone, so I thought I’d try to initiate a big bar swap today. (I already agreed to swap 2 of them 🙂 ) If you have bars you want to swap, post them below with your email and hopefully you guys can match up for some you want to try!
Friday Dance!!
zestycook says
Oh Kath – I love that breakfast 🙂
life coach jen says
Ha, I’m picturing you doing yoga both under and on top of your dining room table!
thepinkpeppercorn says
Yum!!!! Yoga on the dining room table!! I think you are checking to see if I’m awake 🙂
haya says
one of the best things about a big house with lots of rooms is the variety of places to do yoga. i think i’ve used every floor but i still have quite a few rooms left to try.
i imagine the dining table would require extra good balance! and care to avoid the chandelier (i will put this in the column of reasons why it’s good to be short)
VeggieGirl says
HOLY YUM!!
Shannon (The Daily Balance) says
FANTASTIC breakfast – can’t go wrong w/ Naturally More 😉
Happy Friday! 😉
Rebecca says
I love the idea of a bar swap, however I have no bars! But I do have tea…
I bought a couple of boxes and just didnt like them…if anyone is interested I have:
Celestial Seasonings: English Toffee
Lipton: Lemon Ginseng
brandi says
LOVE french toast.
Isn’t it weird that coffee is like that sometimes? I don’t understand it either.
rhodeygirl says

It’s not a bar, but would you be interested in trying PB2? I have two unopened jars, one regular and one chocolate. Or I guess would anyone that’s reading this be interested in swapping something for that?

Lori says
Hi Kath,
I am not sure what time RHONYC comes on now. I watched it last season. It is unreal though, some people are so wealthy! It’s crazy!!! I like how Bethnney is not a back stabbing you know what like the others….
You can watch some episodes here:

happy friday 🙂
Beadie @ What I Ate Yesterday says
Yum. Maybe I will make french toast this weekend!
I think if I did yoga on my dining room table my cats would go bonkers!

Hallie says
I don’t have anything fun to swap 🙁 must make a Whole Foods trip soon (not today though…I just got paid, and that could get dangerous in a hurry!)
I made a semi-indulgent French toast last weekend, and I’ve been wanting to make an uber-healthy style FT since then (with whole wheat bread and the like).
Erin says
Your berries always look the best. Yum to the French toast too.
Danielle J says
Michelle,
Would love to get my hands on a hot n’ healthy bar.. any interest in a trade for either
Kashi Go lean bar in chocolate peanut or chocolate almond?
I also have a zone perfect in chocolate caramel cluster & a Luna tea cake in berry pomegranate.
Email me djaffee87 at gmail dot com
Jen says
I just discovered this blog yesterday and so of course had to try oatmeal for the breakfast with vanilla and flax. I’ve always had it with lots of brown sugar, raisins and milk on top and I didn’t think it I would like it “Kath-style.” It was so good!
Thanks for all your great ideas, I’ll probably be here everyday now. 🙂
Lee says
Coco – What flavors are the Argentinian bars? I have the regular PB2 left. Email me at leelee421 at yahoo.
K says
FRENCH TOAST! Do you remember that guy that used to sing that song? Your breakfast looks delish 🙂
Heather says
I love switching up where I practice yoga… it can totally change how you feel and what you get out of each session!
What a yummy breakfast. Don’t you just hate those days when NOTHING sounds good and you just can’t decide what to have? You definitely got in your antioxidants with that yogurt mixture!
Kailey (SnackFace) says
French toast is one of the best breakfast foods! Yours looks delicious! What is sharing the plate with the french toast? Have a lovely afternoon:)
Shelby says
Great idea Kath, french toast is always a good choice!
Kath says
Lee ,

Sccop ,
Nope, just like a regular candle.
