Angelos of Kappa Delta
I popped up in the winter issue of The Angelos, the national magazine of Kappa Delta Sorority.
Thank you to those of you who emailed me and commented on the blog to let me know!
Well, Hello There!
Several months ago, I answered a bunch of questions for the editor of the magazine, so I knew something was in the works, but I wasn’t sure exactly what the final product looked like until I received my issue in the mail this weekend.
The only other time I’ve been in The Angelos was back in college when my picture was featured for being on the academic honor roll throughout my four years in college. I was so embarrassed because the picture they used was one that was snapped during one of our “dress down” chapter meetings where I was in my pajamas, wearing no makeup with my hair in a “poof.” I didn’t exactly look “scholarly.”
Workout + Breakfast
This morning’s workout was typical of a Monday. I attended a BodyPump class and followed it up with 25 minutes of cardio on the elliptical.
While I was ellipticizing, I went through my gym wristlet and cleared out some of the slips of paper containing old workouts that I ripped out of magazines or jotted down on scrap paper that I never use. It felt good to clean out the little bag. Now I have a lot more room for new awesome workouts!
After coming home and taking Sadie on a walk around the lake near our apartment, it was time for breakfast!
I was really looking forward to my morning meal because of these little babies…
Wheatberries
Check 'em Out!
I prepared the fibrous whole grain on the stove top according to the package directions. I was surprised at the chewy texture of the wheat berries!
Along with a sliced Granny Smith apple and some chia seeds, I threw the wheat berries on top of a cup of Greek yogurt to make a deliciously filling yogurt bowl.
Yogurt Bowl
All the different textures created a party in my mouth!
Fun!
This breakfast was honestly fun to eat.
And now to begin another work week! Happy Monday, friends. 🙂

ive never tried wheatberries! the texture looks awesome though! i wish i could find some over here.. GRR
What a fun breakfast! I’ve never had wheatberries or chia seeds before. They look like they would definitely give a lot of texture to yogurt. I must try it! 🙂
You’re on your way to being one of the famous KD ladies! Just like the Dorito girl and the rapping grannie from the Wedding Singer!
I’ll keep an eye out for you in the issue!
oh to be on the level of the rapping granny! 🙂 a girl can dream!!
Congrats on the magazine! Awesome!
I haven’t tried wheatberries yet…
Ooh I’ve never tried wheatberries! Do they take long to cook? Yum!
My gym bag also has about a hundred workouts on scraps of paper in there…I need a clean out, too!
the bag said to cook them for an hr., but i only cooked them for like 30 min. and they tasted fine to me!
congrats on being featured in the magazine! that’s awesome. also, that’s a great idea to carry to a wristlet around with workouts in them. I’ll have to try that. Otherwise, I either try to remember certain workouts and completely forget them or i’ll write them down and lose the workout! Also, I loveeee wheatberries. I just am so lazy and never make them! I’ve only ever added them to oatmeal…they look great with yogurt!
How neat to be in that magazine! I do have the Fitness issue from 2 months ago (?) with a pic of you in there. Tina from Faith Fitness Fun is in there too — how cool!
how exciting! That’s so neat. I hope to do that someday
That breakfast looks deliciously interesting!
Thanks for posting that 10k race plan, I’m running my first this summa so I’m sure that will be helpful for a newbie like me 🙂
oh awesome!! good luck!
You seem to be all about the Bob’s Red Mill lately! They make great stuff, I’ll have to check out a few more things now!
I LOVE wheat berries! Even though they take a long time to cook, they’re so worth it. 🙂 Have a great Monday!
I’ve never tried wheatberries! I always assumed they’d be super crunchy for some reason – I may just have to give them a shot 🙂
I’ve never had wheatberries! The texture sounds cool!!!!!
I’ve never tried wheat berries before, but I’m also so intrigued when I see them featured on blogs.
Yay for being featured in your sorority’s publication! I’m an alumna of Chi Omega, but I have two cousins who are in Kappa Delta!
Wheat berries are part of a very traditional meal for Ukrainians that is also really delicious for breakfast! After cooking, mix the berries with honey, poppyseeds and some water to thin it out a bit.
Et Voila! A naturally sweet and filling little breakfast! Just make sure to floss before you head out for the day 🙂
Congrats, that’s awesome! I’m bummed because my mom was a KD at Maryland, but I don’t think I’ve ever seen a copy of the magazine come to our house. I can relate to the crappy honor picture though- when I made National Merit, I had my eyes closed in the pic that my high school magazine included in their article. Cute.
thats pretty cool that your in your schools mag! pbfs getting famous!
I want to try those little bad boys- they do look fun to chew and eat 😉 P.s. congrats on being in a magazine!
Very cool about being in the magazine! I can’t eat wheat berries because they aren’t gluten-free, but the rest of your bowl looks delicious!
Wow what a cool idea with the wheat berries! They’ve been on my to-cook list, but I haven’t quite gotten around to it yet. Cool idea to just add them to something rather than waiting to make them in a recipe.
oh, WOW! I’ve never even heard of wheat berries!
tell me more… do they taste crunchy-ish like pine nuts? how long do they take to prep? are they served hot or cold? can you tell I’m totally intrigued?
That’s so cool! Congrats!
Congratulations on being in the Angelos! I can’t wait to see the issue in person!

Congrats on the feature. 😉
I love informal chapter meetings, even though we only have one a semester. 😉
I wanna try wheat berries, I love all kinds of chewy grains 🙂
I’ve never heard of wheat berries but they sound very interesting!! Awesome that you were featured in Angelos!
I’ve never tried wheat Berries before…looks like the kind of texture I would like.
What kind of placemat did you use in your pictures for your yogurt bowl?! And where did you find it?!?! I love it… so natural looking!
thank you! i love it, too! 🙂 it was a wedding present that we received from williams-sonoma. here’s a link: http://www.williams-sonoma.com/products/nito-placemat/?pkey=ctbllinpmt
You’re an “official” alum with a maiden name and a married name now! ha!
*In good old rapping granny voice*
Well back in MY day, we didn’t have ANY informal chapter meetings; We had to wear dresses with panty hose, yes, panty hose! Do you young’uns even know what panty hose are anymore? They are like tights, but skin colored 😉
Congrats on being in the Angelos. I’ll see you when mine gets delivered.
