It has been COLD around here lately. OK, well maybe we haven't seen snow in 30 years but it sure has felt cold enough for a few flakes. Seriously. It was a low in the 20's this week and Sunday night looks to be a low of 18. Yes, in Florida 18 degrees. I really don't consider where we are real "Florida". No palm trees to be seen, no surfers running in to the water with their boards under their arms, nothing that would even hint of a east coast version of California and mind you it's not 18 degrees as you head towards Miami. It's supposed to warm up to the high 60's and even 70 degrees Saturday. Although still an overnight low in the 20's/30's. We've had oatmeal for breakfast and soup or stews for dinner. I'm still holding out for some snow...
Stella has oatmeal for breakfast most mornings even when it isn't frigid. She has the regular Quaker Oats not the packaged instant then I add fruit to it. The other day I found a great trick that's super yummy.
Cooked oatmeal...
Add some Apple Juice...
Throw in a few raisins...
Sprinkle with Cinnamon...
and VOILA!
Apple cinnamon raisin. Super easy, super yummy. Stella loves it. You could always bake a few apples ahead of time, throw them in the fridge and have them ready for the week but I thought the apple juice was a cool trick.
