Thank you all :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breakfast-for-little-ones#post-2678872 Thu, 12 Jan 2017 12:46:11 +0000 mediagirl 2678872@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I find sometimes if I am at a complete loss, I'll throw leftovers from the night before on the table and she is thrilled. Like @gingerbee, we do fried rice for breakfast, as well! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breakfast-for-little-ones#post-2678613 Thu, 12 Jan 2017 09:30:40 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 2678613@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@gingerbebe: I just had fried rice for breakfast based on your suggestion and it was awesome! I think I may make a huge batch for the family for this week. My kids love rice and eggs and who doesn't love ham or bacon? Great idea! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breakfast-for-little-ones#post-2678355 Wed, 11 Jan 2017 19:45:04 +0000 MrsB2012 2678355@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My girls are obsessed with oatmeal right now. I make a big pot and then use that for a few days as it keeps well in the fridge. The girls are obsessed with pomegranates and blueberries on top which I buy from costco. Sometimes we add walnuts too. We usually put a little brown sugar on top as well.</p> <p>I usually make mini muffins and then freeze them. I try to do fruit or veggie ones. The favs are zucchini with mini chocolate chips, or blueberry raspberry. Sometimes I do a zucchini/apple/carrot which they also like </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breakfast-for-little-ones#post-2678353 Wed, 11 Jan 2017 19:42:41 +0000 rattles 2678353@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We do a lot of fruit and yogurt parfaits with different toppings. Otherwise, it's mostly the things already discussed here...oatmeal, frozen pancakes, muffins, frittatas, cereal, quiche, etc with cinnamon rolls or kolaches on weekends. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breakfast-for-little-ones#post-2678343 Wed, 11 Jan 2017 19:13:51 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 2678343@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sorrycharlie: toddlers absolutely beg for food. 😂 Or at least mine does! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breakfast-for-little-ones#post-2678342 Wed, 11 Jan 2017 19:12:55 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 2678342@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yogurt, hard boiled eggs, and dried cereal are all I can manage to make DD right now. When I'm not sick I scramble or fry eggs quite a bit and slice up some fruit. DD also loves grits, bacon, bagels, and muffins. A bowl of grits with some scrambled eggs mixed in topped with cheese is her favorite. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breakfast-for-little-ones#post-2678341 Wed, 11 Jan 2017 19:12:40 +0000 sorrycharlie 2678341@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bao: Olivia refuses to touch these with a 10 foot pole, but Charlotte loves them. My mom had them at her house and was eating them and she started begging (sounds like I'm talking about a dog..) so I buy them now! They have the normal quantity box at Target. About 5.99. </p> [attach=1296/17/ojn4l4.380x380.0007790031093_A.jpeg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breakfast-for-little-ones#post-2678325 Wed, 11 Jan 2017 18:36:21 +0000 Pancakes 2678325@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yogurt, English muffin with cream cheese, scrambled eggs in a mug (microwaved) topped with shredded cheese. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breakfast-for-little-ones#post-2678318 Wed, 11 Jan 2017 18:27:08 +0000 PinkElephant 2678318@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We do a lot of plain (unsweetened) oatmeal with different toppings - various types of dried fruit, fresh fruit, nuts, or even preserves swirled through.

She's 21 months so as long as she eats something relatively healthy, we're happy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breakfast-for-little-ones#post-2678063 Wed, 11 Jan 2017 14:16:26 +0000 Boogs 2678063@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO has been into breakfast burritos and breakfast sandwiches lately. Both are also easy to make in bulk and freeze well! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breakfast-for-little-ones#post-2678054 Wed, 11 Jan 2017 14:08:19 +0000 ElbieKay 2678054@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I often fry an egg in a small pan -- it takes like a minute to cook -- put it on a small tortilla, and fold it in half. We have a gas stove so we just grill the tortilla on the flame quickly. It is super fast, pretty tasty and easy to clean up.</p> <p>My son usually has that, yogurt with fruit, or (most often) Cheerios for breakfast. On weekends sometimes we make pancakes or more involved egg dishes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breakfast-for-little-ones#post-2678050 Wed, 11 Jan 2017 14:05:33 +0000 peachykeen 2678050@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD (2) lives and dies for oatmeal lately - she would eat it for every meal. I give her the Better Oats brand (because that's what I buy for myself) and it's just the right size for her. She likes to "help" make it and it's ready in 90 seconds. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breakfast-for-little-ones#post-2678045 Wed, 11 Jan 2017 14:00:30 +0000 sooz 2678045@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'll make breakfast sandwiches with egg, cheese and some deli meat. I'll also make french toast using raisin bread. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breakfast-for-little-ones#post-2678034 Wed, 11 Jan 2017 13:40:27 +0000 codeitall 2678034@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS has recently shown an interest in barely toasted pb sandwiches (warning, if the bread is too warm the pb turns runny!). Since he's allergic to milk, most standard breakfast things are out, but he'll eat tons of dry cereal and juice some mornings :)</p> <p>We're also verrry fond of Bel-Vita breakfast biscuits and pop tarts. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breakfast-for-little-ones#post-2678031 Wed, 11 Jan 2017 13:27:19 +0000 youboots 2678031@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I make a scramble base- potatos and sausage then portion it out and add eggs and cheese. Once the base is cooked it only takes a few minutes to add eggs and cheese in the morning </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breakfast-for-little-ones#post-2678021 Wed, 11 Jan 2017 13:12:03 +0000 autumnlove 2678021@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Eggs, yogurt, sandwiches. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breakfast-for-little-ones#post-2678016 Wed, 11 Jan 2017 13:03:47 +0000 Freckles 2678016@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I make steel cut oatmeal the night before and just reheat it in the morning. Super easy! I'll also make pancakes the night before and reheat them as well.</p> <p>Right now they rotate through PBJ on whole wheat pita, oatmeal, milk + rice krispies, and pancakes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breakfast-for-little-ones#post-2677982 Wed, 11 Jan 2017 12:27:03 +0000 looch 2677982@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@gingerbebe: Oh, breakfast fried rice is interesting to me...I might try that for myself!</p> <p>I eat a lot of savory foods for breakfast myself, so I am wondering why not go the same route for kids? You don't need to stick to breakfast or morning foods. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breakfast-for-little-ones#post-2677975 Wed, 11 Jan 2017 12:13:58 +0000 gingerbebe 2677975@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS1 has been on a smoothie kick. We also do Greek yogurt with rainbow sprinkles, ham omelet with ketchup to dip, cereal and milk, and pancakes (although he mostly eats like one bite of pancake and just goes for the turkey sausage). Sometimes I also do breakfast fried rice - rice fried up with an egg and some chopped ham, bacon, or sausage, with some ketchup drizzled on top. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breakfast-for-little-ones#post-2677922 Wed, 11 Jan 2017 11:28:40 +0000 psw27 2677922@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We do cereal, PBJ toast or a waffle usually. Sometimes he gets on oatmeal kicks. Usually fruit of some sort too - berries or a banana. He really just prefers cereal most of the time, so that's fine since we get pretty healthy/boring ones. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breakfast-for-little-ones#post-2677869 Wed, 11 Jan 2017 10:31:04 +0000 808love 2677869@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>besides what has already been posted, egg quesadilla (tortilla with scrambled egg and cheese-wrapped like a burrrito...hmm maybe we should change the name), french toast and lots of fruit and. berry options. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breakfast-for-little-ones#post-2677865 Wed, 11 Jan 2017 10:29:38 +0000 wrkbrk 2677865@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bao: It's weird but we often make our toddler a whole wheat pbj for breakfast. He eats it and it's relatively healthy and filling? He also likes bananas a lot and mandarin oranges and yogurt. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breakfast-for-little-ones#post-2677863 Wed, 11 Jan 2017 10:29:02 +0000 snarkybiochemist 2677863@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like my frozen waffles with pb and honey or pb and j. As a kid I was a big fan of bananas with pb. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breakfast-for-little-ones#post-2677860 Wed, 11 Jan 2017 10:25:49 +0000 Mrs. Goose 2677860@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My picky toddler and daycare toddler have really been loving oatmeal lately. So it's on the menu 3 mornings a week. Takes about 5 minutes to boil. </p> <p>Rolled oats, water, a couple of apricots, a prune or date, hemp hearts, cinnamon, and water. I boil and stir for 5 minutes tops and blend with a stick blender. Cool for a few minutes and serve. They need their food fast too!</p> <p>Our other quick breakfast is smoothies. They're kind of picky about breakfast food. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breakfast-for-little-ones#post-2677775 Wed, 11 Jan 2017 09:10:00 +0000 honeybear 2677775@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We do a lot of plain oatmeal. I mostly microwave it with water and then add some frozen blueberries or whatever frozen fruit is in the freezer, which cools it down. Top with a little milk or cream, if we've got any. </p> <p>If I'm really on top of things, I make Bircher muesli the night before. The quick version of this is to get some packaged muesli and mix it with plain yogurt, but packaged muesli is pretty expensive and the kind I like best--Alpen--has some sugar that is not from the fruit.</p> <p>LO also really likes a banana and peanut/almond butter. </p>
