Today we tried to go for a more simple with our approach to breakfast.
So first off I wanted to try making Malina oatmeal from scratch using one of the recipes from a BLW app I have.
This ended up being a very poor idea to try on the fly because the recipe was in metric, it did not have clear enough instructions as I am still uncertain what the person meant by oats but it was obviously not whole oats, and everything needed to be microwaved and we can’t run the toaster and microwave at the same time without tripping the power because the wiring is weird.
And I tried to make toast to go with this of course.
Yeah, problems abounded.
In the end, I made it in the microwave, it was too thin and runny so I tried to save it in the blender and cool it with frozen berries and bananas.
It ended up turning out just fine but it was no longer the recipe I used and was more of my own recipe at this point.
Malina was not bothered by any of that of course. She was happy to see the bowl of purple oatmeal in front of her and dug in with her provided spoon.
Surprisingly, she managed two bites by herself of the oatmeal and seemed to like it well enough. But after that she used the spoon to make more of a mess and the result was her wearing more of the oatmeal rather than eating it.
She’s adorable.
I was again just happy to get breakfast made and that she tried it so today gets a checkmark as a win.
So remember, even when baby rather make their food into a face mask, you are doing great and you’ve got this!
