This week I thought I should write about one of the most simple and effective things I do to get my kids to eat oatmeal.
But, before I keep going I have to preface this with: I have read different gluten free books and haven't come up with a "for sure" if people with celiac can eat oatmeal. Kaden is different from a celiac in that he is allergic to wheat, not a celiac. He rashes out with wheat, not stomach disturbances. So, if you can't tolerate oatmeal this article may not apply to you...
An easy thing I do to get my kids to eat oatmeal is I have an empty, clean spice bottle that I have labeled as "cinnamon & sugar". I take 5 Tbsp of sugar and put it in the spice bottle. Then, I add 1 Tbsp of cinnamon. I (we) shake it up to mix. Then when I prepare oatmeal for breakfast, I let them top their oatmeal with the mix. Because they get to spice up their own oatmeal, they are more than happy to eat it.
That's my simple idea for the day... I'd love to hear yours...
