My Favorite Oatmeal Breakfast // take a megabite

I’ve always been a bit whatever about oatmeal. I mean, those lil satchels with maple brown sugar goodness from my childhood? I’m kinda into those. But oatmeal served up adult-style? Nah. Until I tried making it with almond milk infused with a bit of vanilla, cinnamon and honey. THEN things changed for me.

Elliot shout-barks at me things like, “GIVE ME THAT OATMEAL!” or even “I WANT THAT BASKETBALL COOKIE!” or “YOU KNOW CHEESE IS MY FAVORITE!” Sorry to show you this side of him.

P.S. He’s totally wearing a washable diaper. He’s had problems with having accidents ever since his injury a few years ago. Turns out these little pants make him more aware of his hind end. (Is this too much information?) Anyhow, these pants have made life easier, f’real.

  1. I’d pretty much eat anything out of that pretty pear bowl, but that oatmeal sounds so good! I always wondered who ordered oatmeal out, I figured it was just there to make me feel bad about ordering eggs benedict or stuffed french toast 🙂
