A few months back when I was worrying about my milk supply, a nice lady at Special Addition told me that oatmeal is a galatagogue. I'm not usually a big oatmeal eater, but I've been eating a ton of it lately, and was recently turned on to the wonders of steel cut oats by trying the oatmeal at Progress Coffee. Oh my god but it's head and shoulders above regular old 1-minute oats. So tonight I cooked up my own batch for the first time. Behold!:
Ok, it looks a little gross here, I grant you. But I'm so excited to try it in the morning with warm milk, apples, almonds and honey.
While I was at it I decided to cook up some millet for Julian. I used to cook all of Norah's baby cereal myself, from the recipes in Super Baby Food. Up until now I hadn't done any of that for Julian (the difference between life as a stay-at-home-mom and a full-time-working-mom I guess), but as the boxed baby cereal seems to leave him so constipated, I decided to try cooking my own whole grains again. Doesn't it look appetizing??:
Come over to my house! Gruel for everyone!
