After a quick family photo the bears had big adventures this morning!!
CHURTON helped me slice a big ole loupe!!
While BOCKER was busted trying to sneak a little crazy almond butter goodness..
I couldn’t find BEAKER anywhere!!
Lucky for him I decided to have breakfast outdoors–where I found him in a TREE!!!
He said that he heard that POOH bears were supposed to look for honey in trees–I explained to him that his shirt said BOO not POOH!!
CHURTON did an excellent chopping job!!
I used a slice of the DELICIOUS bread that Kath + Matt left for me to make french toast!!
Topped with the same toppings from the RECIPE post!!
Yum Yum Yum Yum Yum!! I sprinkled a little salt on it–in an attempt to regulate my electrolytes pre yoga..
I found one of Kath’s favorites in the downstairs bathroom!! No spray necessary–but he was still wiggling so I left him alone!!
Only to return almost 12 hours later + he was STILL wiggling!! I flushed him!!
Minus the fact that I almost passed out in yoga again today –seriously it is starting to freak me out–Yoga was awesome!! When we go into the standing poses all I see are black stars + my ears fade out completely and all I hear is ringing–I’ve tried to fight it and stay up–but I’ve been ending up in child’s pose.. The teacher said it may be an electrolyte imbalance or low blood pressure??..
I met Kati!! She saw one of my posts about how amazingly awesome YOGA ONE is and decided to give it a try!! She recognized me after class + introduced herself–she is a fellow grad student at Winthrop + a blogger too!! I can’t wait to get to know her better!!
HI KATI!! I’m so glad you loved yoga + Johnna!!
For lunch I had a CRAZY QUESADILLA!!
Stuffed with cheese + feta slaw + jalapenos —topped with more slaw + jalapenos!!
I LOVE KATH + MATT’S BACKYARD!! They are going to have to drag me out of their house!!
Work was a blast (lie). I’ve been in the WORST mood at work for the past 2 days!! And by worst mood I mean I haven’t been smiling–which is UBER weird for me!! In other news–I’m very happy when I’m not at work!!
I think I just feel like I’m wasting my time–since it is a bar tending job–not an internship or something more productive..
I opted for a baby glass of wine while I worked on dinner.. Fancy wine!!
I opened up a can of my ALL TIME FAVORITE black beans!!
and made a black bean burger!!
RECIPE HERE!! This time I didn’t use any EVOO + it was just as good!! And I made the recipe for one using 1/2 can of beans–PERFECTO!!
I raided Kath’s supply stash for a side + decided on this!!!!
CRAZY ANNIE–always so good!!
All together now!! + another splash of wine!!
I topped the burger with salsa–I think I could drink salsa…. mmm MMM mmm
Drowned in black pepper–just the way I LOVE it!!
Now time for a little blah blah gab gab—
Last night I successfully sat through the entire documentary THIN —Pausing only 3 times!!.. That is crazy good for me–It can take WEEKS for me to finish a movie or podcast–I just can’t sit still!!!!!
I wasn’t entirely sold on the documentary.. not at all.
Tonight I am going to watch LIFE IS BEAUTlFUL.. if I can sit still..
—————————
I REALLY REALLY REALLY need to rework the about me part of B+B and add the RECIPES page!! Perhaps I’ll start in the morning..

If you tried to add me on TWITTER + it didn’t work —I don’t know why–I am soooo computer challenged!!
Perhaps try searching my email–bitesandbowls@gmail.com

OH AND!!–I have a fun fun mashup song for you today!!!!!
The Reborn Identity –In For The Kooks [La Roux vs. The Kooks]
CHEERS!!
B+B
Haha I love Camp KERF,bears and all. Someone’s gotta watch the house!
What a yummy dinner. Sorry about the almost pass out yoga. Never happened to me! Maybe need more water? I also have some dried fruit before class a lot of times.
Have a great night!
Love the post and the photos!! What kind of camera do you use? The blueberry pics from yesterday were amazing and today’s as well!
Kathi–
I use a canon SD880 + love it!!
I also LOVE the new Panasonic Lumix dmc zs3k .. it wasn’t out when I needed a new one!!
LOL OMG! Too cuuuuuuuute! Love it.
The French toast + bean burger look sooo good! *drool*
Jenn
it looks like you and the bears had a fun day –the french toast looks awesome!
Are the bears going to be ok when its time for you to leave? They seem to be having SO much fun!
Sorry to hear that your beefy experience didn’t fare too well with your tummy.
I haven’t had red meat in years and I am terrified of what it would do to my stomach if I tried eating it again.
The black bean burgers looks awesome (even better than the cow in my opinion). Beans are so much nicer on the body too!
Have a great day!
Looks like you’re enjoying yourself over at Kath’s!! Check out heathereatsalmondbutter.com …she was doing hot yoga and had issues like you. Went to the doc and had to up her salt intake. Def. get it checked out –my friend fainted in bikram before! No fun!
Watch out for Churton!! He knows where you sleep! He looks way too happy with that knife
I am not sure who is having more fun,you or the bears! That quesadilla looks perfectly crusty. Great,now I have a craving
haha I LOVE it!!
Sorry to hear that work isn’t going the greatest lately…hope it turns around for you soon!
EEKS!! to the icky bug. You were definitely brave to flush it down! I would have just ran away and got someone else to do it!
YUMMY dinner! I just love Annie’s mac &cheese. And your bean burger looks awesome!
Hi Bites + Bowls! I am an avid KERF reader and I saw your guest post,love your blog! Your recipies look so delicious! I have recently started my own food/health blog,check me out sometimes! Have a greta one!

Love the food –you always have such amazing presentation!!!! Two buck chuck is the only way to go
I really liked “Thin”when I saw it,well it was sad,but interesting.
I’ve had a similar situation recently with almost passing out in the gym while strength training. I believe its the heat and electrolyte imbalance. So I put the fan directly on me,wipe off sweat as much as possible and drink both a 20 oz water bottle and a Vitamin Water 10 or other naturally sweetened energy drink while I’m there. It works!
That happens to me during yoga all the time! Especially when coming up from inversions. I have low blood pressure,and I’ve been told there isn’t much I can do about it but stay fully hydrated and electrolyte-d and to take my time. Good luck! Ugh that ringing in the ears is the WORST part.
I have a similar problem as well. Last night in yoga every time I came up to standing I was seeing stars. It’s kind of scary! This has happened to me a lot. Additionally,I can get dizzy going up elevators. I thought maybe it’s because my bp runs really low?
Anyway,if you figure out what it is,keep us posted! Thanks for the great blog!
1) Annie’s Mac n Cheese
2) I love a good backyard
3) YAY for being a little celeb and turning homies on to great yoga classes!
4) LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL is actually the best movie I might have ever SEEEEEN!
5) Lovin’on yo maShUp
Your dinner is awesome! If you need someone to keep you company in the house of KERF –next time you make that,I’ll WALK there!
Those bears are quite the rambunctious crowd!
Ahhh I LOVE THE KOOKS!!
I could drink salsa too!
So fun! LOVED all the bear fun at camp KERF again. Amazing eats as always.
LOVE that Annie’s –now I’ll have to send Kath more
LOL….
Kelsey,
I can never sit still in movies either. In fact,I cancelled my Netflix subscription because the movies would just sit unwatched on the coffee table for weeks. That being said,I did love Life is Beautiful. It’s a wonderful movie!
So glad you’re upping your salt intake. I naturally have really low blood pressure,but for some reason feared salt. Once I got used to not salting my foods,I just didn’t want it anymore…on anything. I’m now a salter and loving it. Feeling much better as well. Take care and keep listening to your body. You’ll be fine.
P.S. I’m totally making that black bean burger soon. Looks delicious!
That french toast looks delicious. And I am also eying your black bean burger. Makes me hungry.
I need a Churton Bear to come to my place and do some chopping and cutting! I’m the same way with movies. My issue is I fall asleep whenever I sit down for extended periods of time. I think it has to do with the fact that I run around like a crazy person all the time…when I stop my body just says-Sleepy time!
Hi! Quick q –I see your black bean burger recipe calls for “Wondra flour”–have you ever used AP flour before,and were the results the same? Thank you!
Hi Hi,Kelsey! I just showed your blog to my mom and she wants to make those k sa dillas Right Now!
And I hope you enjoyed Life is Beautiful- Buon giorno Principessa!
My biggest fear in the world is cockroaches. Yuch.
Muwahahaha those Georgia Nicholson books are my absolute FAVORITE! I still read them to this day. She is my hero because she is a complete nut and I love her and wish she was my bestfriend. I totally stole her dictionary idea because she is brills!
All those jalapenos in your lunch would probably eat my stomach alive. I love their flavour,but they don’t play nice with my tummy
You mac &cheese is calling my name. Mmm,cheesy carb goodness.
