How to stay warm in the winter:
Option One: Hats and scarves!
I must have about a billion scarves (and lots of winter hats as well). To me, scarves are the only fun part of cold weather. Otherwise I’d be happy if it were 75 degrees all year long.
And they double as photography props, like in this oatmeal photo.
But there is another way to stay warm…
Option Two: Henry and Batman choose to park their butts in front of the heat dish.
All. Day. Long.
They even exercise in front of it:
Strrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrretch!
(Henry is very good at downward facing dog.)
Batman is just very good at being cute.
I haven’t been posting many photos of them lately, because they live at my parents’ house and I often forget to bring my camera when I visit. But they’re just as adorable as always!
Option Three: Pumpkin Bread in a Bowl.
It’s one of my favorite warm breakfasts, and it tastes especially good with raisins. Or chocolate chips, of course! I’d share with Batman and Henry… however, they won’t even leave the heat dish for food. Their hierarchy: heat > food > walks > everything else.
Question of the Day:
Do you like scarves? And winter hats?
Tomorrow: Another way to stay warm… A chocolate way 
.
I love hats and scarves but I always forget I own them.
I can’t wait for the chocolate recipe tomorrow!
Just found your site and have tried a few recipes. Yum.
I’ve got the ingredients for the Pumpkin Bread in a Bowl. You mention that it’s good on a cold day but I don’t see heating instructions. A quick zap in the microwave?
And I love hats and scarves and shawls!
To be honest, I often eat it cold even in the winter :).
But yeah, sometimes I just heat it in the microwave. I especially like the banana version warmed up, because it makes the banana taste all caramel-y.
That is a gorgeous picture of you!!!
I love scarves, but I think they look weird on me. I’ve been wanting an infinity scarf but haven’t found the right one yet…
Your dogs are too cute!
I will definitely try your pumpkin “bread” sometime soon, but seeing as it is finally warmish in NC today I made a CCK-inspired sweet potato smoothie. Same flavors, but way different temperature! lol
LOVE hats! LOVE scarves! LOVE girls that love hats and scarves!
When I read the forecast this morning for San Diego was to be 72 and sunny with a light breeze, I packed up the kids and made the hour drive to the San Diego Zoo. No hats and scarves today!! Tanktops and shorts!!!!!!!!! WHOO HOO!
Cute pics! Love my hats and scarfs 🙂
Haha I love this post, your pups are so cute! My cat always curls up on the section of the floor which has the hot water pipes running under it to stay warm. Or we cuddle up together 🙂 I love winter scarves, I have a huge navy blue snood that I wear practically everyday because it’s so warm and comfy!
Katie, you look absolutely beautiful in that photo!!!
Aww thank you!!
I’m a knitter and have a box packed with hats and scarves, LOVE EM! Being in Connecticut, tempeture changes day to day….gotta love New Englad weather….must be prepared for anything.
You’re dogs are so cute!!!!!! I have a heat dish too….I like to set it up so if i’m sitting on the couch i stay nice and warm. One of my dogs like to “sit” next to me….Back legs on the couch in “sitting” position…front legs standing on the floor RIGHT IN FRONT of the heater so she gets ALL the heat, and i get none. lol….i think i’m going to break down and get a second heat dish so i can get some heat too.
