Coconut Blueberry Baked Oatmeal

I’m happy to report that Anna loves oatmeal, or “Gruau” as we all it in our Franco household. She also loves pretty much anything I put in front of her so I am an incredibly fortunate mom. This was a really simple dish to throw together in the morning when you’re up before your baby for no good reason.

Add oats, coconut, and cinnamon to a bowl.

Then add coconut milk and blueberries.

Pop it in a greased baking dish.

And bake at 375 until the oatmeal is set.

It came out nice and tender with a beautiful coconut flavour shinning through.

Anna loved it!

1/2 cup frozen blueberries

Sweet Potato Chicken Noodle Soup

Anna’s been into feeding herself with a spoon lately. It’s messy as anything, but it’s so cute to watch. She also loves soup! This mommy loves to make anything her baby will devour, and she had two bowls of this when I served it up for lunch.

I wanted to make sure this dish was chock full of veggies.

I also used homemade bone broth. It’s so easy to make after you’ve cooked a whole chicken in the crockpot. Simply take off all the meat, put the bones back in the crockpot, and fill with water. Let it boil all night and you have delicious broth in the morning.

First things first is to cook up the veggies in a skillet.

In a large pot, boil the sweet potatoes with the broth until tender.

When the potato is nice and tender, use an immersion blender to blend until smooth.

Here’s the base, beautifully blended.

I used classic egg noodles for the soup.

Add the cooked chicken to the skillet.

Mix it all together.

And serve warm. Enjoy!
