Copycat

A few days ago, I received an e-mail from Seth entitled “Mimicry is just another form of flattery.” With my curiosity piqued, I opened up the e-mail to find this:

Yep. He photographed his breakfast for me. I must admit, that looks like a pretty rockin’ bowl of oats. Hmm, I guess his appreciation for oatmeal means that Seth is sexy but boring, just like me;)

Have you ever spread your love of food onto others in your life?

Now that I’ve given you a glimpse of what the boy has been eating, perhaps you’d like to see some of my eats too?

Monday

I love how this flavor of Spirutein tastes like pistachios—like that vibrant green pudding you see at salad bars, except way better.

Tuesday

I made my own bowl of oats this morning after another chilly run. Today’s combination featured cherries, both in the form of dried cherries as well as in Futter’s cherry almond butter.

After a much needed Target trip, I re-fueled with a Greek salad, featuring Cedar’s artichoke-spinach hummus. Major yum.

This evening was pizza night in the Yoder household. While my parents opted for a more traditional cheese and mushroom pie, I whipped up a Thai Chick-Un Pizza (from ED&BV). Love chickpeas on my pizza…just wish they didn’t roll off before I can get it in my mouth!

I’ve been fortunate enough to receive a few amazing samples lately:

Looks like snack time will involve hummus and crackers for a while! Thanks to Dr. Kracker and Cedar’s. Can’t wait to taste them all!

Now I am off to watch Mean Girls with Mumsy—can you believe she’s never seen it? Tragic, I know. Good night, lovelies.

    The artichoke under the sunlight in your close up photo looks amaze. I got a box of Uncle Kracker LITERAAAAALLY 2 hours after I left Durhole. 2 hours. My roomie sent me a text and I was tempted to go back but that would have been foolish haha.

  12. I still think its weird that people who eat oats are considered boring. I really disagree!

    your oatbran always look fantastic :)

  14. My bad, I just hit submit before I finished typing… what can I say, I got excited. What I was trying to say was Oh my god, that is so freaking cute. I want a cute boy to email me photos of his oatmeal… haha.

  15. haha thats so cute seth sent you a picture of his oats! I didn’t know that many guys ate oatmeal! lol

  16. haha! i love seth’s foodie spirit. he’s good at oatmeal :) i’ve been making the fam oatmeal lately. seems the smell of mine is ultra enticing

    oh! i’ve been wanting to try that cedars hummus for a while! i lovee their roasted red pepper and their chive and garlic (if that’s what it is) isn’t too shabby either

  17. What a great boyfriend Seth is! Looks like you’ve made quite the impression on him.

    I am making some Broccoli-hut inspired hummus this week. I cannot wait!

  18. Happy LATE birthday aaaaand merry christmas love!!!!! It all sounded fabulous and u scored some good loot! I went to my lil health food store by my house yesterday to pick up ohhh, 58 spirutein packets to stock up and i totally thought of u :D

  19. I hope she loved Mean Girls – one of the best movies ever! How cute is it that Seth had oatmeal and took a picture of it? He’s a keeper :)

  20. I think Seth sounds like the ideal boyfriend! So glad that you’ve found each other and share so many interests.

    I’m so relieved that my questions about running weren’t too horribly annoying. In that spirit, I have just one more: how are you able to continue with your early morning runs in such cold temperatures? I’ll brave any weather but I find it impossible not to slip over when the sidewalks are icy and there’s limited light. Any tips would be greatly appreciated because I’m having so many problems keeping up my outdoor training in this horrible weather…resorting to the treadmill just isn’t the same :(

    Many thanks!

    xoxo

  21. Your mom has never seen Mean Girls?! Definitely one of my all time favourite movies!
    Your eats look amazing…that chick un pizza definitely cracked me up! Enjoyed reading your about me as well :)

  22. Oh man, I should have looked more before getting married. I would so have loved a boyfriend that sent me pictures of something he did inspired on me. You got a great boy Caroline, don’t let him go!
    Love your eats, as always!! The berry smoothie looks delish!
