Oatmeal

So, oatmeal is supposed to be healthy. Plus, it's cheap. Super cheap. I can feed my family of 7 breakfast for under $1, including the sweetener and added fruit. It fills them up, is good for them, and is nice to my budget.

I decided my kids needed to learn to eat oatmeal. We have had it every day for almost a month now. They eat it really well, but there is still some complaining. They want something different. I change up the oatmeal: Cinnamon and apples, cinnamon and raisins, cranberries, etc.

But they still complained and begged for variety. So I thought I would try chocolate oatmeal. 

It didn't go over very well. In fact, it was nasty. 

I tried adding chocolate chips, which probably cancels out all the benefits of the oatmeal. But it helped cover up the taste and made it somewhat edible.

Won't be doing that one again.
