Why-oh-why did I not think of that title last week!?
I’m sleepless in Cville again. I think it’s more time zone change than anything else. I actually fell asleep on time last night, but then I got a few texts from CAITLIN and the excitement in them kept my mind awake until 12:30! I snacked on almonds and juice (was hungry!) and tried reading some more before I finally fell asleep until Matt pounced on me this morning after his run ready to make a smoothie! I wasn’t quite ready to get up and get going, so he ended up going to work for bread and I made a bowl of cereal.
Major, major props to all pregnant ladies who have to be at work at the crack of dawn regardless of your sleeping habits.
In the bowl: Puffins Original!, chias, cherries (with a separate pit bowl!) and milk.
Served with Lipton regular and a splash of milk
I have missed my Wednesday cycle class many weeks in a row now – it’s too early to eat breakfast, blog and make it on time. But the sun is out and I hope to make up for that with a walk later after a morning conf. call.
Hope @ With A Side Of Hope says
Puffins are my favorite! I really like the peanut butter puffins 🙂 Happy Wednesday, Kath!
Khushboo says
I love cherries but they seem like too much work to add in cereal in terms of the pit!
Angela @ Eat Spin Run Repeat says
Mmm I can’t wait to pick up some cherries at the grocery store (or maybe the market) this weekend. Sorry to hear you didn’t sleep well! Sounds like you’ve got a nice sunny day ahead though. Enjoy your walk!
Caroline @ After Dinner Dance says
I don’t know if I could eat cherries in my cereal like that – the pits would annoy me too much! I think I have to enjoy them alone. They look pretty though!
Cait's Plate says
Haha – I HATE when I think of a really good title too late! It still works though. Or you could’ve done “Sleepless FROM [My Time In] Seattle” – haha.
Love that you had an extra pit bowl – was going to ask if I was the only one! 🙂
Sarena (The Non-Dairy Queen) says
I’ve been craving cereal a lot lately! I’ve been adding chia and protein powder to it. I love how thick it gets. Topped with frozen berries to chill me off from the heat outside. I hope you get a little rest in today. Have a great day Kath!
Susan H. @ The Food Allergy Chronicles says
Loving cherry season! Cheeries for breakfast…yummy! I have a whole big bag of them just waiting for me in the fridge! I love to snack on them throughout the day…perfect sweet treat!
Lindsey says
It’s a gorgeous day for a walk! Hope you have a restful day after a sleepless night.
The Mrs @ Success Along the Weigh says
I need to try these Puffins you speak so highly of! 🙂
Laura says
I am DYING to know how Caitlin is-I keep checking her blog obsessively for an update! I hope she/the baby are fine!!!
KathEats says
They are both doing ok!!
Earthy Nicole says
I’m a long-time reader of hers (and Kath’s!) so I was checking in yesterday a lot too. She’s updating her twitter though, so check that out! xx
Katie @ Peace Love & Oats says
I’m so excited for Caitlin! And I didn’t sleep well either, although I wasn’t getting exciting texts! I hope you get back to a better sleep cycle soon!
Claire @ Live and Love to Eat says
Just no lady-like way to eat cherries, but they’re so delicious.
Jamie @ A Healthy J.D. says
As a pregnant woman who has to be at work at 7:30 every morning I have to say it sucks indeed. But with the help of lots of afternoon naps and sleeping in as late as possible on the weekends it’s not too bad…especially in the second trimester 🙂
samantha @ peach in the city says
puffins are the best cereal
Rebecca says
I slammed through my last box of Puffins original SO fast. Must get another. They’re the best 🙂
PS – I love that old wood your food is on…is it a bench or just a piece of wood?
KathEats says
It’s a table that Matt made from reclaimed wood
Emily @Emily's Olives says
Bahhh I’m so excited for Caitlin! And you! Sorry your sleep schedule is off. But cherries in the morning can make everything better!
Earthy Nicole says
That bowl looks terrific, even though it’s so simple. We’ve had cherries on sale this week here in Ohio but compared to sale prices in California, where I’m from, I’m left with a little sticker shock. I’ve seen Ohio-grown cherries but they’re sour, not sweet 🙁
Heather @ Fit Mama Real Food says
That bowl of ceral look delish! Glad you can sleep in an extra bit Kath.
Catalina @ Cake with Love says
Puffins and cherries sounds like a perfect breakfast after a sleepless night! have a good day!
laurie says
Even though you are tired, pregnant, traveling, or whatever . . . you never fail to post and we are all so grateful to you!! Your blog is the first thing I look at in the morning and I check it 3x a day because you are my favorite blogger! 🙂 I have learned so much from you over these past several years so THANKS, KATH!!!!
KathEats says
Thanks so much Laurie!
OliePants says
I have yet to try Puffins. The cereal is so refreshing for a hot morning.
Ashley @ Hudson on the Potomac says
Cherries look ripe and delicious! Such exciting news for Caitlin, you’ll be in her shoes soon!!!
Ashley @ Coffee, Cake and Cardio says
Youll get back on cycle. It’s tough to sleep when there’s lots on the brain.
Annette @FitnessPerks says
Mmm puffins are great!!
factfindersteph says
Yummy puffins! I actually have thought the same myself when I get up in the morning for work. Sometimes I just don’t want to get up!! Women are warriors!! Creating a life inside of you has to be draining sometimes ESPECIALLY when you have to get up at the crack of dawn!!
Averie @ Averie Cooks says
When I was pregnant I was selling timeshare at a resort and had to be on the property at 7am because we gave breakfast pitches to those at the resort. Omg it was miserable. I was never a morning person and definitely not then. Lol
Kimberly says
So jealous of your bowl of puffins…
Michelle.Workitout says
I lovee Puffins… I even have a Puffins lunchbox! (PB is my fav) and I’ve never had cherries in cereal before, but a separate pit bowl is probably a good idea!
Angel7 says
I give major, major props to women who have to work while pregnant, even if they do not get sufficient amounts of sleep each night! I had to work part-time for our first child. However, I did not have to be at work until 8:30AM, and it only took 15-20 minutes to get to work. As for the pregnant women who have a haul to and from work, props again!

Kammie @ Sensual Appeal says
So so so jealous of you eating cherries. I went to the farmer’s market on tuesday and tried a few and I almost died — SOOOO GOOOD! But the price– not so good 🙁 I can’t afford $7 for a couple cherries (I think it was a pint??) *sadness*
Rhapsody says
My motivation for going to class is paying for it — I can’t afford to waste money!
Julia H. @ Going Gulia says
Your Puffins are taunting me!! I got some the other day & finished the box in 2 days…oops. So yummy, but maybe I shouldn’t get them again for a while 😛
Fran@ Broken Cookies Don't Count says
Wish i could find puffins around here. They look so tasty!
Lexi @ You, Me, & A World to See says
Puffins!!! Barbara’s bakery > everything else. Have you ever tried their animal cookies?
