There are things that I eat that I don’t always want to but do so because I know that the other option would leave me far worse off. Take oatmeal. I’m not a big oatmeal person but I eat it often because of the nutritional value it adds to my diet especially when I add hemp seeds, chopped nuts, and tons of fresh berries. But let’s be real, sometimes pancakes sound much better. Pancakes slathered in nut butter and lots of maple syrup. So in order to coax me into making better choices for my body on a daily basis and eating more oatmeal, I have to turn it into some animal-shape or whatever amuses me at the moment. I’m like a dueling 6 year old and mom stuck in my body simultaneously. The mom always wins when she presents the 6 year old with Kitty Cat Oatmeal Art though.
Surprise your little one or yourself (hey, no judgments, I do the same!) for breakfast and serve them up the cutest kitty cat oatmeal art their eyes have seen. A quick, easy breakfast to throw together that looks like you spent tons of time on! Just imagine the delight on your kiddos’ face (or yours, again, no judging) when they see what’s for breakfast tomorrow morning.

oh my goodness! That is just the cutest thing EVER! Sure beats pancakes lol
I feel about oatmeal the same, but who says oatmeal has to be in a bowl? I make oatmeal waffles, so simple and I get to eat my oatmeal in a different way.
3 cups old fashion oats
6 dates
3/4 cup soaked raw cashews
4 cups water
dash vanilla
pinch of salt (optional)
1 very ripe banana (optional)
Blend all ingredients in a high powered blender until smooth. ( I use a vita-mix) Let sit five minutes and blend briefly to mix. You might need to add a little water at the end of your batter, but use as little more as possible. Pour on hot griddle and let bake for 10-13 minutes or until it stops steaming. There is no baking powder or yeast in this recipe, but they come out very nicely. Makes approximately 10 rectangular waffles.
Every one of your posts amazes me with your creativity. I think you should have a show on the food network!! You are the best.
