Can you make and freeze this cereal? I’m using quinoa and plan to add cinnamon and fruut. Oh and how much cinnamon would you use?

Thanks so much for this post, Jill! I recently made Marielle some brown rice cereal, which was a complete disaster. I’ll try again using your method.

Great resource! Question — is it ok not to grind grains for older babies?

So good to hear this info coming out! I pull my hair out when I see all of the processed products on the shelves in the grocery store. Just a suggestion for all of your moms that don’t mind (or have the opportunity to) spending a little bit more time in the kitchen or want to play with their gadgets more- I’d recommend trying to soak/sprout the grains first, and then dry them in a dehydrator, or in a very low temp oven. It increases digestibility, and increases the availability of the nutrients in the grains. Easier on baby’s tummy, and if the child is a light eater, a bump up in helping them get the most out of what they do eat. It doesn’t take that much extra time, but does require some planning ahead.

Lots of great information. Thank you for doing so much of the leg work both in knowledge-gathering and preparation of the food you sell. We all love it!
