Week 3

 

When my kids pick at their dinner and don't eat much, I always feel reassured when they ask for oatmeal for their bedtime snack.  I make them steel cut oats and they top it with fruit of their choice, slivered almonds, cinnamon and their choice of milk.  Even if they eat a sketchy dinner, I know they're getting a tummy full of nutrients with this filling meal.

Sweet treat!  The coconut vegan 'cheese'cake was a hit with all the kids.  They couldn't even taste the difference from real cheesecake!

See below for kids' feedback this week:
