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!
I got this idea for a breakfast treat from another mom who was feeding it to her 14 month old daughter:
Whole wheat toast with a little butter, and then some peanut butter. The butter helps it not be quite so thick and sticky. The warm toast melts the peanut butter nicely.
Cameron really enjoys it – and it’s a nice break from the morning waffle rut we had fallen into.
Lately Cameron has really been digging Applegate Farms Chicken Nuggets that I have been ordering from Fresh Direct. I know it’s not the healthiest thing on the planet, but at least the chicken has no Antibiotics, so I can feel a little bit good about that. Plus he is getting some protein! They are easy for him to mash up in his mouth, and easy for me to make. I throw a few in the microwave to defrost for a couple seconds (usually with some sweet potato fries) and then finish them off in the toaster oven.
