Today would be plain yogurt. I had some blueberries and bananas on hand and thought I’d make banana blueberry yogurt – a smoothie of sorts but a little warmer. I put some blueberries on the stove with a little water to break them down. After about two minutes I had a lovely blueberry sauce that made wish I had been making pancakes (another Saturday, I suppose). Instead, I sliced some bananas and turned on my handheld blender to make a puree. This was the first time I used the handheld for Claire and I realized how poorly it works compared to my food pro, which is a beautiful machine but not always practical. I’m whirring and whirring as Claire is whining and crying because now I am really taking a long time for breakfast. The whirring, whirring, whirring continues but there is still pulp. I am cursing this machine in my head trying carefully not to let one slip. I’ve got to strain it. Into the strainer it goes and, finally, I’ve got blueberry banana puree.

Next, I mix everything together with a little plain yogurt. It looks good. If Claire wasn’t still screaming at this point, I would have taken a picture. (I’ll have to try to be more prepared.) But I am satisfied with my new breakfast for Claire. She, on the other hand, is determined after about three very reluctant bites that she would be having no more of this breakfast.

I am not deterred, however. I will have to try again when she’s a bit more settled and not wielding her hunger at me.
