When back to school time hits, it’s definitely easy to get caught up in the chaos. In hopes of easing this usual stress, I’m taking all of the steps I possibly can to make the routines easier on everyone. We begin our preparations around now anyway, because we start stocking up on school supplies.
That also includes Squeaker even if she isn’t quite yet back to school.
But how can I do that? How can I possibly ease the madness of back to school and still make sure that everyone is eating properly?
With cookies for breakfast that include new Go & Grow by Similac® Mix-Ins™ – available at your local Walmart or on Walmart.com for your shopping convenience. While you’re there, you can also look for Go & Grow by Similac® Milk-Based Powder. And by using your Ibotta app, you can earn $3.00 with the purchase of any size Go & Grow by Similac® Mix-Ins™
Yes, you read that right. I’m letting my toddler eat cookies for breakfast.
But why? Why not just give her something else?
Because, I want to make this easy on everyone and sometimes I just don’t have the time, patience, or energy in the morning to argue with my pint-sized counterpart.
That and she doesn’t even realize that I’m giving her healthy cookies so it’s a win-win.
These cookies are ready in no time at all. It means that I can have these cookies in the oven (preheated to 350 degrees) and baking while I’m getting Sweet B’s stuff ready for the day.
These cookies are so easy to make and it only calls for 5 ingredients.
Start with 1 1/2 cups of rolled oats of your choice, one mashed banana, and one mashed avocado. Next, add 1 cup of almond butter and one generous tablespoon of Nutella. Then use one packet of Go & Grow by Similac® Food Mix-Ins™ for one serving (or ½ cup of food).
You can also add additional items like dried cranberries, raisins, or chocolate chips. All of which you can pick up at your local Walmart or Walmart.com along with your Go & Grow by Similac® Mix-Ins and Go & Grow by Similac® Milk-Based Powder.
After your ingredients are blended, spread on a prepared cookie sheet. It doesn’t need to be perfect. Then bake for 12 minutes. After you let that cool, you can either use cookie cutters for shapes or a butter knife to make bars. These cookies are not crunchy in texture, but rather they are chewy and soft. For a crunchier cookie, bake for an extra 5 minutes after cutting into shapes.
So to recap, your ingredient list is:
- 1 ripe banana
- 1 1/2 cups of rolled oats
- 1 cup of almond butter
- 1 generous tablespoon of Nutella
- one packet of Go & Grow by Similac® Food Mix-Ins™ for one serving (or ½ cup of food)
Combine all ingredients in a blender. Spread on a prepared cookie sheet and bake at 350 degrees for 12 minutes. Once cooled, cut into shapes with a cookie cutter or into bars with a butter knife.
But why use Go & Grow by Similac® Mix-Ins™?
- It provides nutrients to support growth and development as your baby becomes a toddler.
- Each single-serving packet (8.7 g) allows you to add extra nutrition to the foods they already like.
- With protein, fiber, and essential vitamins and minerals, it can be your secret weapon for added nutrition!
And if it means having an easier morning routine? I will gladly let my toddler have cookies for breakfast.
You can find these at Walmart.com or at your local Walmart in the baby section:

Baked Chocolate French Toast
I love French toast though I don’t make it too often. It’s not that it’s too much of a process, just that I don’t always feel like standing in front of the stove and babysitting my breakfast. Recently though, I discovered a few recipes for baked French toast. My interest was peaked because it looked like the ideal way to make it. So, I decided to try it with chocolate milk and ended up with an easy baked chocolate French toast recipe. Next time I do this, I’ll probably try a different bread but I just wanted to use what we had on hand. I may also adjust the amount of cinnamon that I used, but for the most part- this is definitely a keeper….
Cinnamon, Almond, and Banana Pancakes
I had seen quite a few recipes for pancakes that only used an egg, and mashed banana. Occasionally a teaspoon of vanilla extract but nothing beyond that. And I was quite intrigued. Could this possibly come close to pancakes made from scratch or our go-to choice of Bisquick? I had to find out for myself with this easy cinnamon, almond and banana pancake recipe. I am an almond lover (the type that has eaten Marzipan on it’s own) so I wanted to see if that would taste okay in this mix and then I saw the cinnamon in the cabinet and thought- why not. Thus, cinnamon, banana, and almond pancakes were born. Or at least in my kitchen. Ingredients for Cinnamon, Banana, and Almond pancakes And that,…
Two Ingredient Avocado and Egg Salad
Recently, I had tried out a recipe for deviled eggs (one of my personal favorite appetizers) and instead of using mayo, the recipe called for avocado. Now, I’m a huge fan of anything with avocado in it so I thought- why not give this a try. The end result was a tasty treat so I had to reason that if it worked with deviled eggs, it should also work with egg salad. Same process, just different application. I love egg salad sandwiches and yes, I’m one of those people who will eat egg salad on it’s own. I also love avocado and again, I’m just as happy to eat the avocado right from the skin with a spoon. So combining these two in a simple,…
These sound good and I think any toddler or kid would love them! You would be surprised what I have let my kids eat for breakfast, LOL!
