Sorry for the delay – I was watching the Real Housewives reunion of the reunion part II. Then I dusted my whole house 🙂
I didn’t get into bed until midnight last night, so I woke up later than usual. Getting 8 hours makes me groggy and stiff – I do better with 7-7:30.
Breakfast was muy delicioso though!
The Mix:
- 1 cup Oikos
- Handful raspberries
- ~5 cherries, chopped
- ~1/3 cup Zoe’s Granola
- Tbsp flax
- Tbsp Naturally Nutty White Chocolate Cherry Almond Butter (YUM!)
I forgot to mention that at Costco I saw a huuuuge jar of MaraNatha raw almond butter for …..$6!!!!!! I actually had it in my cart and then reasoned I have lots of other nut butters I should use up first, so I put it back. But it’s on the radar!
With Tazo Earl Gray. I heart Tazo teas 😉
Would you believe that same SLUG was in my kitchen again last night!? He’s having a party under the sink right now.
I have TWO – only two!!! – things to do on my computer today and then I’m planning to take a little break from electronics and read. And I’ve got a major itch to clean the house top to bottom, so hoping to get that into the schedule too. I actually really like cleaning because it leaves me satisfied and organized 🙂
Friday Dance!!!
Holly (The Healthy Everythingtarian) says

Katharina says

ri'chele says
Happy cleaning organizing reading day!! I am enjoying the guilty pleasure of cleaning my office today, as everyone else is either in the field or at meetings. Came in early to draw, draw, draw, drafting table is almost empty!!!
katherine says

Enjoy your day!
Sues says
Those raspberries are so beautiful. I wish I didn’t have to be on my computer today- it’s beautiful out in Boston. Have a nice Friday!!!
Megan (The Runner's Kitchen) says
Cleaning can be so cathartic and relaxing! And Zoe’s granola is so good. Glad you’re enjoying it 🙂
Courtney (The Hungry Yogini) says
Yay for Friday! Breakfast looks GORGEOUS. Enjoy your day after those two computer things =)
Daria (Summer of the CSAs) says

I can’t wait to take advantage of my parents’ Costco membership when I go home for a few weeks! $6!!
ellie says
I’ve spent most of today cleaning and am so glad- a weekend ahead of me with a nice tide apartment to relax in!
I am new to almond butter and it’s SO good! $6 is a fab price for Maranatha 😀
enjoy your day!
Rose says
Love that pop of color this morning 🙂
ChristinB says
That breakfast looks so awesome!! Love it.
Where did you get that gorgeous bowl? I’m pretty sure that would make me want to eat cereal, oatmeal, soup, yogurt, everything that goes in a bowl all the time! 😉
Happy Friday!
Jennifer says
Yeah, I got to hit up someone with Costco membership as well! I like cleaning too- it makes me feel satisfied. My bf thinks I’m crazy of course. And cleaning counts as cardio, right?
brandi says
I love that bowl – so pretty with all the red add-ins.
thanks for the costco tip! I’m hoping to get to one while visiting family this weekend and that’s perfect timing since I just used the last of my almond butter this week.
Rachel (Rachel's Work Bites) says
mm the granola, flax, greek yogurt, rasp. and AB combo looks amazing! I had some sugary sweet oatmeal this morning! I need to clean as well! I love having a clean house everything feels new again! I don’t know how it gets so dirty so quickly, but I have an idea (PUPPY DOGS!!)
Christie @ Find My Weigh says
Yummy! That breakfast is drool worthy!
Kailey (SnackFace) says
Gorgeous red and white and tan breakfast! LOVE. I’m just bummed Zoe’s has honey in it. Anyway, I wish you a fabulous Friday! Shoo, I don’t think I ever get the itch to clean. Especially not on Fridays. Someday!
Shannon (The Daily Balance) says
Love that bowl! And the inside contents certainly looked delish!!!
Have a wonderful afternoon 😉
pol says
ooooh raspberry love 😀
I love walking with hubby too. Another reason I love eating early suppers. Old folks need to walk after dinner to help with digestoin. 😉
Love you, Kath!! Have a wonderful weekend. XOXO
Lynette says
There’s a natural way to get rid of slugs – if you don’t mind the demise of these little critters. Slugs are attracted to the yeast in beer, so if you place a shallow container of fresh beer in your kitchen the slugs will crawl in and drown. It’s a probably a happy death :).
Teresa says
Which Costco in Charlotte do you shop at? I never find the fun things that you do!
Adventures of Alice says
That breakfast looks perfect–and I love earl grey tea!
Have fun cleaning! I totally agree–a good clean feels so productive and satisfying
Abby says
Cleaning is my stress release–I get stressed and either walk a million times a day, clean everything or brush my teeth. I don’t understand either, but my house is clean.
And $6 for the AB? That’s insane, as a small jar is over $7 over here! I would have stocked up on it, as it wouldn’t sit around my house for that long. (Or you could have probably sold a case of it for $6.50 each here on the blog and made a fortune. Kidding)
I’ve never tried it in my yogurt, so that might just be a wild and crazy thing I do this weekend…
Steph says
woah… $6 dollars is AMAZING. a large jar here in bermuda is $22 dollars!!
Jenny Marie (Jenny Marie Says) says
I just tried Oikos and LOVED it, your breakfasts ALWAYS look so yummy. The Oikos is just so expenseive here, $2.09 for one serving. Any suggestions on other great greek yougurt brands?? Have fun cleaning, I love to jam out to music while I clean! Happy Friday!
susan Nolan says
that bowl is fabu! where o where can I find one.. I had oikos on my blueberry waffle with a bit of honey today, Yum
Nicole (dishin') says
I love that bowl! So pretty!
Jessica says
OH MY GOSH where did you get that BEAUTIFUL bowl!!?!?!?
I have a Sam’s membership instead of costco … dang it.

K says
I loved the reunion last night although I want to know what Danielle did to Dina!! It’s driving me crazy 😉
Lee says
I wish I was blessed with the love to clean. I like for the house to be clean, but actually doing the cleaning? Not so much.
Meghan@traveleatlove says
I found the reunion totally unsatisfying! I NEED to know what Danielle did!
Bec says
what a beautiful bowl!
Christina says
That breakfast looks delicious. Love the bowl!
Mrs. Myers (Eat Move Write) says
Ok, yes, your food looks delish, but your bow is BEAUTIFUL. LOVE it. Have a wonderful weekend everyone!
Becca H says
Kath, What do you think about Costo. Do you get really good deals.
Missy Maintains says
Love your breakfast! Your bowl is so pretty to! I wish I had a Costco around! Everyone gets such good sales!
Deva says
I love cleaning for the same reasons you listed 🙂 I’m actually doing that today, too!
Paula says
Kath!! i despise slugs, ahh you have to get that thing out of your kitchen. He’ll leave a slimy mess.
Tazo is great! Iove it also. Made right here in Portland 🙂
Sarah says
Ah, I’ve never had Tazo earl grey, I bet its great! All of their other ones are 😉
Kate says
Looks awesome! I am in love with the serving bowl… where did you get it?!
Kath says
The bowl is from Homegoods!
re. Slugs,
I don’t want to kill them 🙁
Teresa ,
I think there’s only one – the one off Tyvola.
Jenny Marie (Jenny Marie Says) ,
Greek yogurt is expensive 🙁 Oikos is my favorite texture, but Trader Joe’s is a bit less expensive per oz.
Becca H,
Yes, it is a good deal, esp. if you make the effort to go weekly. What I love about it is there are constantly more brands that you see all the time in there (Kashi, MaraNatha, Chobani, Quaker, Sabra, La Croix) and it’s not all no-name stuff. You just gotta be sure it’s something you’d already buy or you’ll jack up the bill!
Kath
Jenn Eats Nutritiously Now says
The oatmeal looks delicious AND that bowl is so pretty! Hope you’re having a great Friday.
Jaime says
I actually like cleaning too…for exactly the same reason. It helps me de-stress and has a cathartic effect on me. Insane.
Mom says
Take a big plastic cup and sort of hook him into it. Works with almost all bugs. Then if the bug really creeps me out, I just toss it outside and get the cup later.
Christy says
I just watched the RHNJ part 2 too. How can they leave it like that at the end?? Now I want to know what Danielle did that was so bad. Maybe hitting on Dina’s husband??
Adi (oatonomy.com) says
What a pretty breakfast! Looks tasty!
Stacey says
I’ve tried to the Wild Blueberry Tazo tea and that was great!! They were serving that this past year at the Charlotte Dietetics meeting!
I’m doing the friday dance too! Woot woot
Kristen says
Beautiful bowl and contents! I relate to your need for a break from “screens.” Happy weekend!
Shannon says
lovely colorful food! 😀
faith says

Sarah says
Haha, I did the same thing at costco today!! I have so many jars in my cupboard its not even funny.
Caroline says
Haha, I just bought a set of 4 of those same bowls–I always knew we shared good taste in dishes:)
Hangry Pants says
Just watched. What do you think Danielle did to make Caroline so upset?
