The weather in the mitten state has been crazy bitter cold. It’s SO cold that Thursday and Friday of last week into this past Monday the school district thought that kids should just stay home. What? I do NOT remember staying home as a kid “due to inclement weather temperatures”. What the what? Snow days for sure… but it’s-too-cold-days? I don’t think so.
Not that I’m complaining. I really didn’t mind sleeping in until 8, staying in my pj’s, which let’s face it are also my “work” clothes. The whole not having to wake up at 6:30 am and go out in the negative temps to drive my daughter down to the bus stop was SO totally fine by me. Oh and heyyyy I also made us baked oatmeal.
As I’m sure you understand, I couldn’t get away with only serving peanut butter toast those 3 too-cold-for-school days and so I thought I’d make them a fruit and veggie loaded baked oatmeal. I know! Carrots in oatmeal?? Think carrot cake and it all makes sense.
