Billy has quite possibly the biggest sweet tooth imaginable. If he could, he would have cookies, cakes and cupcakes for breakfast everyday. Or at least sugary kid cereals. But since those aren’t really options, I think the only reason he likes oatmeal is because it is the last holdout for a socially acceptable breakfast food that he can douse with brown sugar.
And since we had a peach on the counter that was past the point of eating as is, and it was Saturday, I figured I’d sugar-up something else that he could add to his steel-cut oats.
With a super-ripe peach pitted and halved (and placed in the cutest teeny-tiny cast iron pan), I dotted it with a lil’ bit of butter, brown sugar and a pinch of vanilla salt. Cinnamon would be great here too, if it didn’t turn out that we were fresh out.
Right now I am heading to California for a few days for work (and then play) and I decided to actually do something I think about doing whenever I travel.
I made B dinner for a few of the nights I will be gone. This is something I have wanted to do before, but as we all know, there is usually more on your list before a trip than can get done, and this one usually ends up getting cut.
Backing up, it not like B can’t feed himself and so I must provide dinner, I just always thought it would be a nice fun little gesture. Plus, to be honest, this way I know that at least a few meals weren’t delivered or poured from a cereal box.
I decided on lasagna, figuring it is something he can easily heat up and tastes good after more than one day. And thankfully (and unlike me), B doesn’t bore of the same flavors after a day or two, although I’m really hoping he doesn’t finish the pan. Maybe I should have rethought this idea.
