Mommy FTW

Brrr!  It certainly feels like winter out – which makes me want to eat something nice and warm for breakfast.  I posted awhile back about the Oatmeal that Cameron likes to eat that I make with Bananas.  Now that he is drinking cow’s milk I make it with whole milk instead of water and we share it (he ends up eating most of it though!)  I just thought I would highlight the post for my newer visitors in case you might have missed it.  Stay warm out there!

Check it out : What’s Cameron Eating? – Oatmeal with Bananas and Cinnamon!

If you want to try something different, add applesauce, pureed pears, or pureed pumpkin to the oatmeal.  It’s a great way to get some extra fruits or veggies in there.  Also, oatmeal is an excellent source of protein – so this really makes a great breakfast!

As I mentioned before I am always searching for things that Cameron and I both like to eat.  I’ve started making instant oatmeal for him (it seems a little less labor intensive than Cream of Wheat).  I get the Arrowhead Mills Organic Original Instant Oatmeal from Fresh Direct because its just plain oatmeal with no sugar added.

Yummy Yummy!

Before I microwave it I add some mashed bananas and a dash of cinnamon.  The bananas and cinnamon  sweeten it up without adding any sugar – so it tastes great!  The idea of adding cinnamon was given to me by Celia, who had originally suggested adding it to pureed pears or apples (also, super tasty!)  I think it makes anything taste like apple pie, and totally delicious.  Cameron agrees!
