Now that I
have two boys that feed themselves every meal can become an adventure. To help with my sanity I try to find ways to
keep the meals as easy as possible. That is when I came up with the oatmeal clump
and lump. Lincoln always fought me when I fed him oatmeal even though he loved
it and giving him a bowl to eat with his hands and spoon made a sloppy
mess. I decided to see if I could make
it easier on both of us. For one packet of
oatmeal I added just a little bit of water and microwaved it for one
minute. The consistency was thick and
sticky. Perfect to spoon clumps and lumps onto a plate easy for the picking! It
makes a minimal mess and both Colby and Lincoln can eat it with no complaints
and at their own pace. I’ve also found it’s a great travel food when served
this way because you can always throw a packet of oatmeal into any bag and not
stress about the mess it might make.
Also note the paper plate for a quick cleanup too. Life moves too fast to be slowed down at breakfast time!
