Today’s Spread:
I brought a bowl of spinach, half a lemon and a garbanzo bean salad made with lemon juice (the other half), feta, and Sriratcha (we just bought some more of this – it has been way too long!)
I squirted the lemon on the spinach and dumped the beans on the salad for a wonderful entree. Baby spinach is so easy to stuff into a lunch box for an instant salad.
I used Kelsey for a photography table
I also packed some green grapes
And a Peach Chobani with a few tbsp AgavePlus granola
I’ll be munching on this Nature’s Path FlaxPlus Pumpkin Bar during Foodservice! It came in my Yoga Jam bag, and I can’t wait to try it.
Soup Spotting!
The Nutty Vanilla Sweet Potato + Kale Soup made yet another appearance at Lola Runs!

Cheryl says
Hey Kath, that sunshine looks great, but I hope you used some sunscreen today. Can’t believe after that burn yesterday, you are back out there today…. really bad for your skin. You eat so healthy, hope you are taking care of your skin.
Otherwise, lunch looks great and good luck on the upcoming tests.
Juli says
That post was a picture of delicious: sunshine, park, salad, greek yogurt, fruit, and an energy bar! Plus, silliness!
Enjoy your day!
Kath says
Cheryl ,
I always wear sunscreen – except yesterday! Today I’m wearing long pants and we moved into the shade right after eating.

after having BEAUTIFUL weather here Saturday and most of Sunday, it’s snowing! your green grass makes me jealous.
michelle says
I just had that pumpkin flax bar for breakfast for the first time. I thought it was great!
haya says
i am CRAZY jealous of your amazing weather and beautiful picnics. our snow finally mostly melted (though it did wet snow a bit more this morn) and it was 17ºC last week (that like 64 or something) but the ground was all wet and mucky. no lying on the grass (which is still dead-ish) in shorts 🙁
soon. soon. i just have to be patient, i guess.
i guess it’s good that you are exposing your body to a little sun before your equatorial adventure! you wouldn’t want to burn while you’re away.
VeggieGirl says
HAHA!! So fun 😀
Love that garbanzo bean salad!!
haya says
did you have wireless while you were out there? i actually went to the park to write an essay once to get away from the internet and somehow was able to pick up a signal from somewhere. there’s no escaping!
Katie says
Oh I am soooooooooo ridiculously jealous of the beuatiful weather! What I would give to lay on a gorgeous lawn in the warm sun. ……. love it.
Courtney (The Hungry Yogini) says

Kara says
Mmm salad looks fab! Enjoy the nice weather!
Hallie says
I remember nice days in college when everyone would lay out on the lawn to study. In upstate New York, those days are few and far between! It’s funny because I think in San Diego we take for granted the sunny days sometimes.
Missy (Missy Maintains) says
You are so lucky it is nice and sunny! Yucky rain here in NY! Such fun pictures!
Sarah says
You two are hilarious! Good luck with the studying ; )
Jordan (Flows Down Yellow) says

KANZI!
I saw a black mazda (2door) with a number plate that read “KANZI” on my way home today. Ummm…. I wonder who is driving it!!!
Leah says
Great photos!!!
But seriously, you need to stop with the nice sunlight… it’s just NOT FAIR! 😛
Good luck on the studying.
Sarah (lovINmytummy) says
You gals are hilarious and serious procrastinators.

rhodeygirl says
great pic!
i have a case of the mondays too.
Nicole says
Haha, I love the last picture. It’s too cute!
Sharon says
Jealous of the gorgeous weather!
Michelle says
WOOOW how gorgeous is your “study area”?!?!??!! You betcha I’m jealous. How does one concentrate in such glorious weather with such good lookin’ food around?!??! hahaha
I know when i study, i gotta be:
1) AWAY from temptation, the main one being snacks in my pantry
2) no glorious weather – or I will want to play!
Maybe you should bring a frisbee next time and toss it around during your study break!!! It’ll help rejuvenate your brain cells! I promise!
Mel says
I would love to study there! Have a fun afternoon!
Bec says
OMG, I am so jealous of your picnic/outside study parties! The food looks really yummy too 🙂
laci says
BEAUTIFUL weather!!! 😀 Ahh, I love planning to multi-task (eat+work) but it always turns out I eat first, then trudge through boring schoolwork! haha 😉
Lauren says
Hahaha great pics! Looks like a gorgeous day 🙂
I love your idea for the garbanzo beans/feta/spinach salad… I might need to steal that combo idea.
K says
Haha!! Cute study pic! That’s how I feel with my exams! I love that chickpea/spin combo!
Lori says
I am so jealous of that weather! We had snow today!!

Anna Keller says
I’m so envious that you can have picnics in March!

What a great way to study–it seems like it would be a little less painful to hit the books in the sunshine:)
