Lazy Saturday morning around here. I was in the process of getting ready to do yoga when the husband came down and pronounced he was starving. So in an effort to eat together, I postponed yoga for later. Now I feel too full to do it, so we’ll see. We joined Netflix!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What is even cooler than the concept itself is that we can watch tons and tons of stuff online. We watched the first 2 Office episodes on a laptop in bed last night and 2 more today. I didn’t start watching until Season 4, so I’ve got a lot of catching up to do. I can believe how different everyone looks!
Breakfast was a good one (duh):
- 1/3 cup oats, 1% milk, water, 1/2 large banana, pinch salt, 2 dried figs
- 1/3 cup pumpkin + pumpkin pie spice
- Ground flax
- Coconut butter
- Toasted almonds
- The last 1/3 of a KIND Almond Coconut bar
- Barney Butter, spread around (I’m liking this new technique!)
Butterscotch Toffee! We need a bigger French press (or a new coffee pot!). Doing two in a row is quite labor intensive.
Boston Dinner Party
Larbs and Matt had friends over for dinner last night and made our Turkey + Goat Cheese Pasta Bake. Here’s their recap!
This meal was re-created in an attempt to share our Bald Head experience with our Boston friends. Our guest Lauren (pictured with boyfriend Evan) described the aroma of the pasta bake as a decadent yum of joyfulness. Homemade beer bread accompanied the bake as well as a traditional mesclun salad with a homemade dressing. The meal will end in a trip to the top of the Prudential tower for cocktails and possibly the cookie sampling platter.

Fancy says
I made that Goat Cheese Pasta for dinner last night, too! DELICIOUS! I varied the recipe a bit based upon what I had in my kitchen, but I totally got the basic idea from you months ago. YUM! Thank you! Have a wonderful Saturday, Kath!
JENNA says
Your coffee always looks so good!! have fun with John Reep tonight!! 🙂
Shelby says
Love Netflix! You can get yoga videos from there as well.
Liz says
Ok, I have a question about the calories in oatmeal because every package I get says something slightly different…I usually eat 1/3 cup of large rolled oats and some packages say 110, others all the way up to 140 (all based on a 1/3 cup). Which is right?
Sharon says
Oh wow an awesome night and morning start!
Mara @ What's For Dinner? says
What a fun night/morning!!!
Buzz says
Fun to see Daughter Number Two, cute boyfriend, and their new Boston friends.
VeggieGirl says
I see you on the tip of the spoon, in the first photo, snapping the shot 😀

Oats look fantastic! Yummy! The Office in bed sounds fun!!!
emmy says
my oatmeal is always delish but you make yours look 10000x better somehow!
coco says
amazing oatmeal!!!!! I want to try it right away! 😀
HangryPants says
I am a HUGE proponent of dropping the nut butter on top of the oatmeal to melt in. It’s fabulous. I am glad you’re enjoying it.
Sara says
Netflix is so awesome! We got a 3 month gift certificate (our 2nd one) for Christmas and we’re going to start it soon. Delicious looking oats.
Beadie @ What I Ate Yesterday says
Gorgeous bowl of oats!!!!

Mel says
Sounds like you guys have a fun filled day planned! Your show tonight should be very fun!
Babycakes says
You’ve inspired me to eat grapefruit again.
I haven’t had it for years, because I couldn’t be bothered with the faff off halving it, going round the edges with a knife, then cutting it into segments.
Then…I saw your photo, where you’ve simply cut a half into slices.
So simple, yet I’d never thought of it.
I’ve been taking it to work or having it as a snack – it’s so refreshing.
Thanks for your pictures!
Goat’s cheese bake sounds lovely.
Will have to do a search for the recipe.
lainb says
I know no one has a perfect life and public blogs usually aren’t a good representation of a person’s entire life, but you always seem to have everything together — good marriage, family, health, routine, etc. So I’m curious (if you don’t mind sharing), what do you feel your biggest struggle(s)/challenge(s) in life are?
Thanks!
Krissy says
Hi! I visit your site nearly every day – love all the pics and the recipes. I am moved to comment today because as a huge Office fan I cannot believe that you have never seen Seasons 1-3! I am sort of jealous. 🙂 You are in for a treat. Season 2 is my all time favorite. Enjoy!
Amanda says
I am SO JEALOUS that you have unwatched episodes of The Office to watch!! Season 3 was the funniest, in my opinion! Enjoy!!
Emily W. says
I am loving those KERF cute bowls! 🙂
Jess says
Ha that’s so nice of you to postpone your yoga. I probably would have made him eat alone.
rhodeygirl says
i always melt my peanut butter in my oatmeal, and i loooooove it! so i can see why you like it spread around!
thanks for telling us about the multiple inboxes- i ALSO get obsessed with having a clear inbox, and i can’t deal with keeping those followup emails there, so this will be so much better!!!!!!
have a fab saturday!
K says
I am OBSESSED with keeping an empty inbox! It has to be 100% wiped or I get anxious haha 🙂
Have a great day – sounds like fun!!
Jen says
Great pics!
We got Netflix last month and have now seen every episode of The Office 🙂
Marissa says
Netflix is pretty cool!
theoddbod says
they have tv shows on netflix!!! gotta go!
allijag says
Has anyone ever told you how eerily alike your husband and larbs’ boyfriend look? Seriously!
You and your sister both look totally alike! But so do Matt and her BF!
Meredith (Pursuing Balance) says
I had no idea that KIND makes an almond coconut bar!!! I’m so excited!
Kath says
Liz ,
I would image that the difference is in the type of oats. Quick oats are cut smaller and pack more into a measuring cup (= less air, more oat) than rolled oats do. I generally assume 100 calories for 1/3 cup; 150 for 1/2 cup.
Babycakes ,
Yum grapefruit!
lainb ,
The struggles I have are personal, so I don’t feel comfortable sharing them with the world. I also don’t live in a bubble, so even though sometimes I want to blog about things, I have to choose my words carefully because so many people I know read my blog.
allijag ,
yes, folks have said that before! We like a lot of the same things 🙂 Funny they are both named Matt too!
Kath
lainb says
Thanks for taking the time to respond! Sometimes it’s inspirational to learn how other people overcome similar challenges in life, but I also TOTALLY understand your not wanting to disclose too much info on a public blog (private blogs are different). Keep up the good work! 🙂
Lynn says
Hey Kath! I’ve been reading your blog a loooong time now but this is my first post. Welcome to the wonderful world of netflix! I hope you’ll add my movie, “Saving Face” to your queue….cheers!
Kath says
Lynn ,
Wow, very cool I have a movie star reader!!! I’ll put you on my queue 🙂
