Looking for a nutritious and satisfying breakfast? One that is a favorite for my 2 year-old daughter, and I certainly enjoy too, is our "oatmeal combo". Begin with Old Fashioned oats. Add dried fruit (such as raisins or cherries) and cook in the microwave. Add mashed banana to oats for lovely sweetness and to moisten. Add flaxseed meal, cinnamon, and any type of nuts, walnuts are a great choice. If you're feeding young kids, chopping the nuts allows for easier chewing. Fresh or frozen berries are another delicious and nutritious addition. Mix and enjoy! This hearty breakfast is quick and easy and energizes and satisfies until lunch time roles around.
