They then have fruit or yogurt later on in the morning, sometimes piece of toast or a waffle. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breakfast-1#post-2760017 Wed, 19 Jul 2017 14:21:28 +0000 LomaLinda 2760017@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't cook for breakfast unless I feel like it, which happens a few days a week, and when I do I'll make extra so we can eat leftovers for several more breakfasts (like a huge batch of pancakes, a big pan of baked oatmeal, a whole package of bacon). When I'm having a hard time functioning in the morning, frozen waffles are my go to. (Used to be cereal and milk, but my 2 year old makes such a mess with it that we are taking a break from that for now!) I usually always add fruit and a protein (leftover bacon, chicken sausage, scrambled eggs or Greek yogurt) to whatever we're eating. We will eat the same thing for usually only a couple days in a row - I like variety. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breakfast-1#post-2759998 Wed, 19 Jul 2017 14:09:30 +0000 MrsKRB 2759998@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Avocado toast, PB toast, eggs and fruit, pancakes or waffles (make on Sunday and then heated up), oatmeal, yogurt and fruit, every once in awhile I'll do banana bread, zucchini bread or a homemade muffin </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breakfast-1#post-2759974 Wed, 19 Jul 2017 13:37:48 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 2759974@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I only cook a hot meal once a day at dinner. DD wants to eat the second she gets up so I need something I can grab for her quickly. She rotates through these things:</p> <p>-dry Cheerios and fruit<br /> -cottage cheese and fruit<br /> -yogurt<br /> -frozen waffle and fruit or yogurt<br /> -muffins and fruit</p> <p>Sometimes I will fry an egg. I don't really feel like that's cooking since it takes a couple minutes. More often though she has a egg for lunch instead. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breakfast-1#post-2759959 Wed, 19 Jul 2017 13:21:38 +0000 Mrs. Goose 2759959@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Everyday is different and my toddler doesn't really like or eat much for breakfast. Today she asked for broccoli so I cooked a bit and she ate a little of that, a few bites of a boiled egg, a few bites of pineapple, and drank some milk. </p> <p>I like making cottage cheese pancakes. They're really quick and easy and tasty. 3 eggs, 1 cup cottage cheese, 1/2 cup flour, 1tsp baking powder, 1 tsp. vanilla, 1 tbsp honey or sweetener and 1/4 tsp. salt. Mix wet and then add dry and cook on each side for 2-3 minutes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breakfast-1#post-2759958 Wed, 19 Jul 2017 13:19:25 +0000 Smurfette 2759958@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She wants mini frozen pancakes every single morning. If we have donuts she will take those. On days I take the kids, she brings a little cereal or a Nutri Grain bar to school since we get there at 7 and breakfast isn't till 8:15 or so. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breakfast-1#post-2759946 Wed, 19 Jul 2017 13:05:14 +0000 littlebug 2759946@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>D (4.5yo) usually gets a bowl of cereal and 1/2 yogurt tube. A (17mo) usually gets dry cereal and a yogurt pouch. Occasionally they'll get frozen waffles instead, but that's breakfast most weekdays. Weekends is usually the same for A, unless we make pancakes or French toast. D gets 1/2 bagel instead of cereal, unless, like I said, we make pancakes or French toast. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breakfast-1#post-2759914 Wed, 19 Jul 2017 11:59:10 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 2759914@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Smoothie every day. Banana, frozen mixed fruit, yogurt. Sometimes avacodo if we have it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breakfast-1#post-2759909 Wed, 19 Jul 2017 11:55:54 +0000 DesertDreams88 2759909@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Right now, it's cut fruit and some sort of grain (Cheerios, graham crackers, toast, bagels, waffles). Anything he can feed himself that doesn't involve cooking, haha. I like yogurt but it is too messy for self-serve at 18m. Great ideas above, though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breakfast-1#post-2759904 Wed, 19 Jul 2017 11:53:32 +0000 Anagram 2759904@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Eggs, fruit, half a piece of buttered bread 80% of the time. Sometimes oatmeal and fruit or cheerios, milk, and fruit.</p> <p>Very occasional something special like homemade pancakes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breakfast-1#post-2759862 Wed, 19 Jul 2017 11:26:16 +0000 LadyDi 2759862@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Usually frozen waffles or pancakes, side of fruit and yogurt. Recently DS has been on an oatmeal kick. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breakfast-1#post-2759845 Wed, 19 Jul 2017 10:45:24 +0000 looch 2759845@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Cook a full meal? That only happens on the weekends, which is when we'll soft boil eggs, maybe make pancakes or waffles. During the week, it's cereal with milk, a mini bagel or toast with cream cheese, maybe oatmeal with a banana (but only if I have time)!</p> <p>I'd love to do an overnight bake of some kind, but we're too rushed in the morning and no one wants to eat at that hour anyway. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breakfast-1#post-2759844 Wed, 19 Jul 2017 10:42:36 +0000 psw27 2759844@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Usually oatmeal or cereal with fruit. Sometimes toast with PB and jelly. He also asks for yogurt sometimes. I've also been making smoothies so I can get a lot of healthy stuff in him like chia seeds, hemp, spinach, bee pollen etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breakfast-1#post-2759843 Wed, 19 Jul 2017 10:40:29 +0000 kayla0416 2759843@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Weekdays she gets breakfast at daycare so we just do a little snack at home first since we leave very early. Usually cheerios/raisins, a banana, a pouch, or berries/cheese. But she's only 15 mo. :) Weekends we usually do french toast/pancakes, or a big egg scramble with meat/veggies. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breakfast-1#post-2759842 Wed, 19 Jul 2017 10:40:07 +0000 gingerbebe 2759842@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Both my kids think oatmeal is an abomination before God. Even the pouches with oatmeal and yogurt and fruit they are like what the hell is this?</p> <p>On the weekdays, I usually give DS1 a yogurt pouch in the car on the way to school and he eats breakfast there (they usually get cereal and milk or mini pancakes). DS2 I have to pack all his food so he usually gets a straw cup of milk on the way to school and he gets banana/Cheerios or yogurt once he arrives.</p> <p>On the weekends, DS1 is like a lady who brunches. He eats soooo slowly for sooooo long and wants ALL THE THINGS. He want cereal in a bowl, he wants milk in a cup, ice water, he wants fruit, which doesnt include bananas, but if his brother is eating one, he wants one too, he wants eggs, he wants ham, he wants pancakes, he wants donuts - and he'll sit there like its a continental breakfast at the Holiday Inn and just chatter and nibble for like an HOUR. I don't blame him per se, since its the weekend and we have nothing better to do, but good grief, I'm like a crazy omelet station chef on Saturday mornings. Sundays we usually keep it to cereal and fruit before church. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breakfast-1#post-2759840 Wed, 19 Jul 2017 10:25:12 +0000 snowjewelz 2759840@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Weekday breakfasts are mostly carb-y as we usually have to get 2 ready for daycare so we don't try to cook. So frozen waffles/pancakes/granola bar with yougrt/smoothie/fruit. </p> <p>Weekends is when we do eggs/sausages etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breakfast-1#post-2759828 Wed, 19 Jul 2017 09:43:44 +0000 fancyfunction 2759828@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It depends - waffles, English muffins, scrambled eggs, oatmeal. We always serve fruit alongside. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breakfast-1#post-2759822 Wed, 19 Jul 2017 09:27:46 +0000 SweetiePie 2759822@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Go-tos:<br /> - frozen waffles<br /> - yogurt<br /> - fruit<br /> - turkey bacon or sausage<br /> - cereal (usually with milk but sometimes he asks for it dry)<br /> - toast<br /> - veggie muffins </p> <p>I've tried eggs and oatmeal countless times. He used to love eggs as a baby/young toddler. But now for some reason he only wants to eat eggs at a restaurant off of our plates. Oatmeal he's never touched except the baby stuff as his first food. I wish he'd eat both at home. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breakfast-1#post-2759817 Wed, 19 Jul 2017 09:17:26 +0000 Mrs. Microscope 2759817@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Weekdays it's a pouch while I assemble fruit (mangoes, blueberries, strawberries, peaches, blackberries, cherries, whatever we have), a cup of Siggis Icelandic skyr, and trader joes organic silver dollar pancakes.</p> <p>Weekends can be the same, or DH makes pancakes, bacon, eggs, etc. I don't cook breakfast, I just gather / assemble! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breakfast-1#post-2759811 Wed, 19 Jul 2017 09:06:57 +0000 ElbieKay 2759811@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Weekdays there is a choice of: Egg on a tortilla, oatmeal, or cereal (usually Cheerios, Raisin Bran or Puffins). Often but not always there is a side of fruit. Often but not always there is either milk or orange juice.</p> <p>Weekends are usually either eggs scrambled with veggies and/or cheese accompanied with toast and fruit; or pancakes. Or we go out for brunch. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breakfast-1#post-2759803 Wed, 19 Jul 2017 08:48:37 +0000 ShootingStar 2759803@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS gets his choice of cheerios or eggo pancakes or waffles. Baby gets cheerios and banana and some of what I'm eating (cottage cheese/yogurt/cereal). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breakfast-1#post-2759800 Wed, 19 Jul 2017 08:44:50 +0000 lamariniere 2759800@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are in a rut. The kids like toast, my DD eats toast with almond butter, my DS eats toast with cheese. I used to make baked oatmeal pretty often, but haven't made it in awhile. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breakfast-1#post-2759787 Wed, 19 Jul 2017 08:18:34 +0000 muffinsmuffins 2759787@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I try to mix it up but he's a cereal monster. Usually half cheerios, half bran flakes. I give him berries too but he barely ever eats them. Pancakes on weekends he's good with. Yogurt pouch if he's cranky on a weekday and gets snack about half hour after arriving at daycare. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breakfast-1#post-2759784 Wed, 19 Jul 2017 08:12:59 +0000 erinbaderin 2759784@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pretty much the same thing every day - cereal (we keep a pre-mixed bin of Shreddies, Cheerios, Rice Krispies, and a bit of a lightly sweetened one like multigrain Cheerios) and yogurt. On weekends I'll make waffles or pancakes and freeze the leftovers so if they don't feel like cereal we can throw one of those in the toaster. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breakfast-1#post-2759782 Wed, 19 Jul 2017 08:08:38 +0000 mediagirl 2759782@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pachamama: your oats sound like ours. We do pumpkin and sesame seeds, hemp hearts, chia seeds, peanut butter and milk. </p> <p>She will also have berries with her oatmeal - on the side. </p> <p>Other mornings she will have a snack platter - cheese, pickles, part of a muffin, fruit and a hard boiled egg. </p> <p>And if we have nothing in the house - cereal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breakfast-1#post-2759779 Wed, 19 Jul 2017 08:07:11 +0000 Adira 2759779@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>During the week, we generally just do frozen waffles, granola bar, and a pouch (and then they get a bigger breakfast at daycare). On weekends, I'll make them bagels with fresh fruit and sausage, or cereal and fruit, or we'll go out to eat. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breakfast-1#post-2759777 Wed, 19 Jul 2017 08:05:23 +0000 caterw 2759777@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We rotate through yogurt/ fruit, toast/ turkey sausage/ fruit, oatmeal/ fruit, cereal/ fruit most of the time- basically anything I can get on the table in under 10 minutes. When DH is off he likes to make a big breakfast with eggs and waffles or pancakes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breakfast-1#post-2759774 Wed, 19 Jul 2017 08:01:47 +0000 travellingbee 2759774@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pachamama: on weekends I do banana pancakes too! Banana, egg, peanut or almond butter! Do you make the oats ahead of time or every morning? </p>
