Today is my first full day away from my sweet baby boy. He’s 3 months old and the longest I’ve been apart from him until today is 4 hours MAX. I’m working over at UCF today since the athletes are back from winter break and likely need a little nutrition shake up after all the holiday eating.

Though I love my sports nutrition jobs and happy to be getting back to my old normal schedule, I know today is going to be tough… and hopefully harder for me than him. It makes me feel better that he will be in great hands with my sweet MIL. Bless her.

But with exclusively breastfeeding and limited bottle practice, I’m just praying today goes over as smoothly as possible with minimal melt downs.

I’m also super thankful that with my job transition to full time self-employed status this year, that I get to spend (most) of my days at home with him and hopefully in time this day outside of the house will bring a much needed balance for our whole fam jam.

For those of you that stopped by for the Ancient Grains Oatmeal Bowl recipe and not the sappy rant from a first time mom, I’ll get on with recipe for you.

I’m quite addicted to this Ancient Grains Oatmeal blend for many reasons. Firstly, I like the texture and chew from the blend of grains, nutritionally it check out higher in fiber and protein than a regular bowl of oats, and lastly, it helps me to use up some of those odds and ends grains that are in my pantry.

Feel free to sub in another ancient grains in place of the ones you see in this recipe too… you just may need to play around with water content though.

I like making a batch of this oatmeal and putting them in small containers to eat off during the week. In fact, this is what I’m taking to work this morning to heat up in the microwave. It also makes a great snack. Top with your favorite oatmeal toppings– mine include blueberries, tart cherries, pecans and peanut butter!
