Cooking With C

We eat Baked Oatmeal for breakfast around here A LOT!.  As far as I'm concerned, it is the perfect breakfast solution...I'm happy because it is relatively healthy, can be made ahead of time and reheated in the am, and one batch usually covers our breakfasts for about 2 1/2 days.  J and the kids are happy because it is yummy.  Doesn't get more perfect than that!

I needed to make another batch this afternoon for tomorrow's breakfast.  I decided to let C do the honors this time.  As expected, he had a blast!  He likes cooking in general, but thinks it is ESPECIALLY cool when he gets to use my mixer...

Looks about right...maybe it is time the Baked Oatmeal Chef baton is passed on to the next generation...

***Disclaimer:  No children were endangered during the making of this Baked Oatmeal.  The mixer was unplugged until it was time to actually start mixing.  At which time, C completed comprehensive safety training  AND was instructed that if he stuck his hand down in the bowl with the paddle while it was turned on it might break his hand (I know, that may have been a slight exaggeration).  As soon as mixing was complete, mixer was unplugged and mixing paddle removed.  And of course, C was not involved at all in the actual baking process at all.Baked Oatmeal
