Breakfast Week: Omega 3 Triple Berry Oatmeal
Of all the meals in a day (including snacks) what’s your favorite? Ours is breakfast, or brunch, really. (But only if we’re making breakfasty things at brunch.) I’ve clearly passed the obsession on to my kid, and I often wonder if it’s nature or nurture. Is his love of all things brunch in his DNA or have I simply indoctrinated him?
I’ll never know but it looks like the baby is falling right in line. She conspired with her brother sneaking little bits of berry while he distracted me with his fashionable oatmeal hat.
I was forced to punish them with a big bowl of omega 3 triple berry oatmeal complete with a spoonful of flax seeds.
So good even the spatula is smiling. Oh, and in honor of breakfast week, we’ve decided to give away a copy of Breakfast At Tiffany’s!
