OATMEAL with Apple, Grated Carrot and Goji Berries

My two and a half year old is becoming more of a picky eater.  While I can still occasionally get him to gobble up a plate of broccoli, sometimes it is a real challenge to get him to move past the carbs and protein. I thought I was being pretty clever this morning by grating some carrot into his bowl of oatmeal.  First thing he said was carrot!  and then decided he didn't want oatmeal for breakfast.  I guess I'll have to be a little more devious next time.

OATMEAL with Apple, Grated Carrot and Goji Berries

1 cup organic quick oats

2 cups water

1 organic apple, peeled and sliced

1 small organic carrot, grated

1 Tbsp organic goji berries

dash of organic cinnamon

maple syrup or honey to taste

Method:  Bring pot of water to boil in a small saucepan.  While you wait, prepare the apple and carrot and stir them into the pot.  Add the cinnamon and goji berries.  When water is boiling, stir in the oats, reduce heat and let simmer until nice and thick.  Add more water if necessary.  Drizzle with maple syrup.
