Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. At some point in your life you heard this phrase or in an attempt to convince some resistant child to eat, you have uttered each and every word with general concern. Hot cereals like oatmeal and Cream of Wheat are ideal breakfast choices and the nutritional value is a parent pleaser. However, in today's fast pace environment, many families are looking for quick and simple breakfast choices that are healthy and tasty.

The texture of oatmeal is what some kids can't seem to get use-to.  Until recently, when I mentioned the word oatmeal in my household, my son's facial expression said yuck. He never liked eating oatmeal, so I always looked for healthy alternatives. Let's just say a lot of cold cereal was served in my household, during his adolescent years. Honey Nut Cheerios was usually my favorite choice because of it's nutritional pow wow and delicious flavor. Boy how things have changed. Today my son is a college student, and he's now eating oatmeal. Take a look at what changed his mind about the oats.
