Good Morning 2014- Oatmeal Please

When starting a new year, new you eating plan- what comes to mind first?? Oatmeal for breakfast right?? I have been trying to make changes to our eating, then last night as I brainstormed ways to celebrate it was discouraging that every light bulb was shatter by "ya, but I can't eat that". I like to have fun, I like to do cool things. Well this morning was awesome.

 We took:

And turned it into this:

Now someday I will be cool enough to use my own pics, but here is the idea. We called it "oatmeal sundays".

 I prepared the table with the following toppings (very minimal prep):

• Milk
• Pure Maple Syrup
• Cinnamon
• Ground Walnuts
• Raisins
• Granola
• Mini Chocolate Chips
• Dehydrated Cherries
• Strawberry Jam

Then I served each person a plain bowl of oatmeal, and you can guess the rest. With a little portion control lessons, this is going to be an awesome fun breakfast for years to come. So fun, guilt free, clean eating!

I Love it! and when five year old boy exclaims "this is delicious!" while eating oatmeal, maybe these changes won't be as painful as I thought.
