Dreams come true!!!!
Guess whose name is printed in O Magazine!?!?
I was asked to develop some oatmeal recipes for O, and of course I accepted with tons of enthusiasm!
You can guess who is the most excited of all: my mom! She’s a HUGE Oprah fan!
Also on Oprah.com!
It also appears that Real Simple has been reading KERF..
-The editor’s letter was an ode to kale (and included kale chips!)
-The nutrition article highlighted sardines, kale and oats
-There was a recipe for an oat-based smoothie
-AND there’s a “simplify your house and organize” article!
Someday I hope to write something for Real Simple. Dream big!
Yoga today was awesome!!! I walked there in sunshine, talking to my mom, and made it just in time. Pilar, my new favorite instructor, whose background is in hot vinyasa power yoga! She has music too. I put in a comment card at my gym at the end of class to beg for a hot version of the class. Wish they would crank the heat just a bit!
The walk home was long because I was hungry for lunch!!
Leftover Teriyaki Chickpeas with pineapple over green leaf lettuce. I think I’d call this recipe “Sweet n Sour Chickpeas” because that’s what they’re like! Delicious.
Plus Honey Whole Wheat with honey!
Bubbles!
I gotta go – there’s a double boiler of chocolate in my kitchen that needs me!!!!!!!!!
Callie says
How cool is that?!?!? Congrats, Kath!!!

Meg says
Congrats on O- that’s amazing!
A Teenage Gourmet (Sami) says
KATH! . . . I read O today and saw that article, but I glanced over your name. The entire time I was thinking, “They are completely stealing Kath’s ideas!” Haha, I have to ask, was the savoy oats influenced by “Sunny Side Oats” at all? 🙂
Congratulations!
Mom says
Fun!
KathEats says
Yup!!
A Teenage Gourmet (Sami) says
Haha, so I can claim to be an “O Magazine contributor contributor!” There’s something to be proud of. 😀

Congratulations on the article – so awesome!
Holly @ Couch Potato Athlete says
Congrats on getting in O magazine! How exciting! 🙂

KathEats says
Awesome!!!!
Gina says
Totally cool Kath! Way to go!
ilana says
Congratulations, Kath! That is super amazing!!! I saw the RS and actually had the same thoughts. 🙂
( Random aside– I made your tofu method last night (yum) and I actually baked today–I made PB Choc Chip cookies for Erik for Valentines. :))
Kathy W. says

Melomeals: Vegan for $3.33 a Day says
Congrats on being featured in O magazine!!!
Kat @ Cupcake Kat says
Oh my gosh! That’s absolutely wonderful. I am so happy for you. I think I’m going to buy that magazine
Alex says
Though there is certainly no harm in dreaming big, I dare say you’ve already made it. Getting published in a nationally circulated magazine — as you’ve done several times now — is a pretty huge deal, even for a professional freelance journalist. But the oatmeal ideas are fantastic, of course, and it’s cool to see that humble grain get the love it deserves.
Lori says
Keep on keeepin’ it REAL!
hemp jogger says
CONGRATS kath! no one deserves an oatmeal spotlight more than you 🙂 you were actually the one who opened up my options for all the fun toppings for my fave breakfast, way back when i started reading like 2 years ago. so cool!
Michelle says
NO WAY. Oprah?! That’s huge! Congrats! I so agree with dreaming big. You won’t see what could be if you don’t try! Thanks for reaffirming that for me. 🙂
Jen says
Because of you, my 3 kids, ages 6, 10, and 13, all love oatmeal. Thanks for your recipe!
Candy (Healthy in Candy Land) says
How amazing! Nice job on the article!
I’m not sure if I missed it somehow, but I *need* to know how to make Teriyaki Chickpeas. With pineapple? Sounds perfect!
KathEats says
The recipe is Happy Herbivore’s!
Kayla says
Oh my gosh that is so cool! Congrats!
Valerie @ City|Life|Eats says
Congrats! How exciting 🙂
Ashley says

The Strong Mama says
Hey Miss! Thats amazing BIG time! proud of you 🙂
nicole says
A million congrats! You have officially arrived. Cheers (with a bowl of oats).
Meagan says
My cafeteria recently made a chickpea dish that was the BOMB. I usually eat nearly 100% primal, with the exception of the occasional peanut or raw dairy, but chickpeas ALWAYS call to me!
Heidi - apples under my bed says
OMG!! That is a huge achievement, I’m totally with your mum on this one. WOW!! O Magazine…how fabulous 🙂 well done! The article looks great! Totally something I would eat up.

Richelle says
Congrats on your tribute to oatmeal article, that’s exciting. I know you made me an oatmeal lover!
Lindsey says
Congrats!!! Your love for oatmeal definitely changed the way I thought about breakfast so I’m not surprised the people at O magazine thought the same. And I read that issue of Real Simple and thought to myself, “I know all this stuff already. The blog world has already been writing about these things for months now!” Always on top of the trends 🙂
Jackie says
How did you make the teriyaki chickpeas – they sound delicious!
KathEats says
They’re from the Happy Herbivore’s cookbook!
Jackie says
I am definitely going to make the salad!!
Fran@ Broken Cookies Don't Count says
Congratulations, Kath! That’s exciting news, I’ll have to pick up a copy!
Sarah says
Funny story–I was reading “O” magazine yesterday and saw this article. I thought, “these magazines are always a few steps behind the blog world in terms of the food/recipe ideas they have, then they pull from the blog world without giving any credit! They’re acting like it’s a new idea to dress up your oatmeal and Kath has been doing this on the internet for years. Be creative, O magazine!” I didn’t even think to look if they were properly crediting you. I’m so glad you DID get credit! 🙂 Congrats!
KathEats says
🙂
Veronica says
So excited for you! I’m not normally an “O” reader, but I may need to pick up this issue! 🙂 I did however notice that they forgot the RD behind your name?! Congrats again!
KathEats says
I wish they’d been able to put RD (and Katheats.com!) I worked with the editor but they couldn’t add either due to styling design issues
Sarah @ onelovesarah says
that is so amazing! congratulations!
Jillian Bean says
How wonderful for you! I will have to pick up a copy:)
Christin@purplebirdblog says
I put a double boiler full of chocolate to good use this morning to make Valentine’s Day candy!
Christena says
Congrats to you. True story: I ALWAYS HATED oatmeal & couldn’t imagine how anyone could eat it that bland and texture-less goop. UNTIL I found your blog & the whipped banana method, and adding nut butters & granola. Oatmeal is now my favorite breakfast & I eat it every day. NEVER gets old. Sometimes if I have something different for bfast, I will eat it for lunch. Your oatmeal has truly changed my life! 🙂
Maria @ The Fitted Apron says
WOW Kath, that is amazing! Congratulations, dreams really do come true.
Mary Frances says
Congratulations on your feature in O The Oprah Magazine.
When exactly will your regular series be aired on OWN (Oprah Winfrey Network)? Now that would be exceptional television. I’ll bet you would have the highest ratings out of any other programming on her network… you really are All THAT !
KathEats says
🙂
Jillian Babbel says
Congrats! That’s soo exciting!
