It’s peeking out everywhere!
Whipped Banana Cottage Cheese Pie
I say pie because the cheesy cottage cheese, Hail Merry cinnamon cranberry orange topping and Madison‘s Walnut Pecan butter made my brain register "pie."
The Mix
- 1/4 cup oats
- 2 tbsp Bob’s Red Mill 6 Grain Hot Cereal
- Half banana
- Half tbsp chia seeds
- Pinch salt
- 1/4 cup cottage cheese, stirred in at end
- Hail Merry grawnola crumbles
- Madison‘s Walnut Pecan butter melt
Greeeeeeat creamy texture today!
Shenandoah Joe’s Coffee
And a bit of sun warmth
May the sun shine on your shoulders today
Stacey says
I hope so! I’m stuck inside all day, but at the YMCA so it’s okay 😉 Hopefully I’ll be able to get some sun on these shoulders! Love the sound of your oats, have a good day!
Freya (Brit Chick Runs) says
The sun IS shining today!
Haha, love it- I’ve been out all day, I walk in for lunch and the second I glance at my laptop, your post shows on my google reader. Incredible timing!
Lindsey @ Gingerbread Bagels says
Love the pictures! 🙂 I wish it was going to be sunny today but it’s been really rainy here.
Christie {Honoring Health} says
It is gorgeous here today, I hope to get out side a little. I have a skype client around lunch time and I am thinking of doing it on my deck.
Kristy@ KristyRuns.com says
Those oats look yummy! The sun would shine on my shoulders… if I wasn’t trapped in my office (without windows ) all day. 😉
Christine says
MMm pie!
I had a nice sunny breakfast today too…the sun seemed to rise really quickly today…or perhaps it was because the event happened while I was in the shower! I woke up in the dark and then was blinded when I came out!
Your house looks beautiful, by the way. Clean and simple yet filled with character!
Jessica @ How Sweet says
So pretty with the morning sunshine spilling through!
Samantha @ Bikini Birthday says

Hi Kath,
Love your blog. I’m curious though, was this morning’s breakfast
cooked any or just all stirred together?
Keep up the GREAT work!
Kath says
Cooked a la “whipped banana oats” method: https://www.katheats.com/kaths-tribute-to-oatmeal/
Anna @ Newlywed, Newly Veg says
Ahh, so jealous! We have gray, cold weather this morning! Maybe some of your sun will come up my way.

Hi Kath- I’ve been reading your blog for about a year and the weirdest thing happened last night. I live in New York but I’m working on a project up in Boston. I was driving down Beacon St. in Brookline last night and I swear I saw your sister. I recognized her from all of your pics. I tried to tell my friend that I think I just saw someone who I’ve never met but she thought I was crazy 🙂
Anyways, just wanted to share 🙂
Kath says
SO FUN when that happens!! I’m sure it was her 🙂
Nikki says
Beautiful photographs. Thanks for the recipe!
Jillian@ ReshapeYourLife says

Mary @ Bites and Bliss says
The clouds just recently covered up our sun. 🙁 But I wasn’t complaining at the time since I was outside horseback riding. Clouds are your friend then!
Have a fabulous morning 🙂
Angela @ Eat Spin Run Repeat says
I wish we had some sunshine here! It’s been gray and rainy for the past couple of days and it’s not having a very good effect on my mood. Your breakfast however, makes me very happy! 🙂
Heather (Heather's Dish) says

Caitlin (EatFeats) says

Penny says
Ok. I admit it.
The first time I saw you put cottage cheese in your oatmeal I thought, “What is that girl thinkin??”
Then I tried it.
I owe you big time. It is fabulous. 🙂
Kath says
🙂
chelsey says
mm mthose oats do look really good! Any thoughts on what to use instead of cottage cheese as I am lactose intolerant?
I also LOVE the paint color (the orange color) on your walls. So pretty!
Kath says
Do you mean a flavor similarity? Do they make lactose free cottage cheese? What about ricotta?
Amy says
According to Kraft foods facebook, today is National Teddy Bear day. I hope you are planning a party for your bears 🙂
Kath says
Oh my!!!! I willl have to go get them from their rocking chair in the guest room!
Paige(Running Around Normal) says
I love finding little glimpses of the sun shine:) Makes the day that much brighter!

No sun here in NYC but that’s okay! I’m just enjoying the cool air. I love your home – its beautiful!

Ashley M. [at] (never home)maker says
What a pretty kitchen you have, Kath!
Lindsay says
Your breakfast oatmeal/cottage cheese bowl creations always look so delicious! I haven’t gotten into cooked oatmeal much. Not sure.. it always seems so plain to me.. yet I really like oats when they aren’t cooked and just thrown into my yogurt. I need to try to add cottage cheese to oats… I’ve never done that. Thanks for the idea.
Stacey@http://stacey-healthylife.blogspot.com/ says
Looks like it’s still summertime there.
