If you ever want to be depressed with the direction of our children's nutrition, just take a stroll down the cereal aisle at the grocery. So many of the cereals are marketed to kids with fun cartoon pictures and chocked full of processed grains and added sugars and artificial colors. Nip this horrible habit in the bud and start your baby on healthy foods at a young age. Don't even go down the aisle with your child! They only know what is taught to them. Teach them the yummiest features of whole grains and real fruit. This delicious breakfast meal gets your baby off to the right start of the day! By the way, I think walnuts taste better in this recipe, but I substitute almonds since one of my children is allergic to walnuts. If your baby allergic to all nuts, just exclude completely.
