Not that we can't on weekdays but she's fine with what she's eating now and there is something hot in there (waffle). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hot-breakfast#post-2512413 Fri, 01 Apr 2016 05:25:59 +0000 Trailmix 2512413@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm surprised I'm in the minority bc yup, I make my kids a hot breakfast every day. We rotate between pancakes, French toast, scrambled eggs, oatmeal, and I guess the one cold meal we do is smoothies and cereal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hot-breakfast#post-2512401 Fri, 01 Apr 2016 02:14:16 +0000 Kemma 2512401@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have porridge every morning and my big girl shares it about half the time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hot-breakfast#post-2512396 Fri, 01 Apr 2016 01:45:43 +0000 mrsrain 2512396@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD's breakfast rotation involves eggs, toasted waffles (frozen), or oatmeal. So I guess 2/3 of the time. DH prepares her breakfast, though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hot-breakfast#post-2512393 Fri, 01 Apr 2016 00:50:11 +0000 fussygal 2512393@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She eats a gigantic bowl of steel-cut oats and fruit everyday so I guess technically that's hot breakfast, but they're super fast and easy so it doesn't feel like it's a pain. Only on weekends do we make pancakes, sausage, eggs, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hot-breakfast#post-2512360 Thu, 31 Mar 2016 22:26:06 +0000 birdofafeather 2512360@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maybe once a week? If I'm doing it for myself, she'll get it. But she likes yogurt so we mostly do that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hot-breakfast#post-2512354 Thu, 31 Mar 2016 22:10:48 +0000 Ginabean3 2512354@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Everyday! But it's easy....fried egg on an English muffin. That's what I eat every morning so that's what she eats as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hot-breakfast#post-2512350 Thu, 31 Mar 2016 21:59:29 +0000 PinkElephant 2512350@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My kids won't eat eggs/bagels as their first meal of the day - on days DH and I want "brunch", whoever is up first gives them cereal/oatmeal as their breakfast, and they eat our breakfast as their lunch.</p> <p>Other days they usually ask for oatmeal or cereal (both with dried fruit as a topping). They're learning to eat English muffins w/ peanut butter, and have been asking for waffles a lot (but I don't want to make that a habit). They always have fruit, and sometimes yogurt - they're STARVING in the morning. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hot-breakfast#post-2512343 Thu, 31 Mar 2016 21:48:15 +0000 coopsmama 2512343@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Every single day. But I make breakfasts in advance and pop them in the oven when DH wakes up so they are hot as he is heading out the door (he takes to work and eats there) - this week we've had a bacon/cheddar/spinach/tomato egg quiche, a potato/egg/tomato egg casserole, homemade French toast sticks, homemade blueberry muffins served with eggs, and a peanut butter banana baked oatmeal.</p> <p>Breakfast is such an important meal of the day that I think it's vital it be really nutritious. We don't do cold cereal in this house for that reason because it's pretty much nutritionally bankrupt and the times they have had it their attitudes have been terrible. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hot-breakfast#post-2512340 Thu, 31 Mar 2016 21:47:53 +0000 Baby Boy Mom 2512340@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If we are home, every day. On school days it's hit or miss. I try to still make hot food a couple days a week no matter what but it definitely slows down my morning. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hot-breakfast#post-2512339 Thu, 31 Mar 2016 21:47:11 +0000 sarac 2512339@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Never, because we're simple breakfast people. Sometimes we'll do oatmeal as a fancy meal on weekends, but mostly we eat toast, yogurt, fruit. I would happily make eggs if my kids liked them, though. But how odd to flat out insist on a hot breakfast. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hot-breakfast#post-2512319 Thu, 31 Mar 2016 21:21:10 +0000 avivoca 2512319@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Once or twice a week at home. She eats hot food at school sometimes. I just don't get up early enough to do hot breakfasts every day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hot-breakfast#post-2512315 Thu, 31 Mar 2016 21:18:07 +0000 Corduroy 2512315@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We make eggs everyday and somehow all get out the door by 7. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hot-breakfast#post-2512303 Thu, 31 Mar 2016 21:03:01 +0000 sapphire 2512303@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>On weekdays LO has breakfast at daycare and it's often a hot breakfast but not every day. We usually cook breakfast on weekends. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hot-breakfast#post-2512290 Thu, 31 Mar 2016 20:46:00 +0000 whiskers 2512290@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It fluctuates a lot. We batch cook breakfast frequently so we have it ready for the week. Some days in up early enough to cook something, that day most days I'm not. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hot-breakfast#post-2512282 Thu, 31 Mar 2016 20:40:07 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 2512282@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Cold smoothie every day!!! DH makes a big breakfast usually once a weekend, but ds still has his smoothie and then a few bites of the breakfast. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hot-breakfast#post-2512279 Thu, 31 Mar 2016 20:30:34 +0000 gingerbebe 2512279@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son gets a hot breakfast in the mornings mostly because it's simply more calorie dense and I'm always trying to get his weight up or maintain it. If it were up to him he would subsist solely on fruit and maybe some rice.</p> <p>I usually make a 2 or 3 egg omelet with diced ham and veggies cooked in butter or olive oil twice a week, cool it, and then cut it into bite size pieces and keep it in the fridge. I also make tater tots twice a week in the toaster oven and keep them in the fridge as well. Then in the morning we zap a few tots and omelet bites in the microwave for 15 seconds, add some ketchup, and put two mini frozen pancakes or half a toaster waffle with a little butter and syrup on his plate. If I don't have eggs, he gets turkey breakfast sausage instead. We wait for him to eat some of his breakfast and then he's allowed to have half a banana. And he usually steals bites of DH's yogurt/fruit/granola bowls. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hot-breakfast#post-2512276 Thu, 31 Mar 2016 20:27:54 +0000 Astro Bee 2512276@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Um, never? He doesn't like eggs, we haven't done toast yet, and when I make oat cakes (which he loves!), I make them in the evening and do freeze batches. Usually he has yoghurt, a banana, another fruit (like mango), and oatmeal, which is usually lukewarm by the time he eats it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hot-breakfast#post-2512274 Thu, 31 Mar 2016 20:26:06 +0000 catlady 2512274@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pretty often actually. Somehow we got into the habit of cooking eggs for LO almost every day, including weekdays. When she doesn't have eggs, she usually gets oatmeal (the quick stuff in the microwave). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hot-breakfast#post-2512229 Thu, 31 Mar 2016 19:51:05 +0000 petitenoisette 2512229@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is one and I still can't get her to eat any real breakfast foods :bummed: But to me, hot breakfasts besides oatmeal are for the weekend. @T.H.O.U.: Agreed that lots of "hot" breakfast-type foods really aren't that healthy. I'm hoping eventually LO will have oatmeal like me during the week for breakfast and then on the weekends it's pancake time! :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hot-breakfast#post-2512227 Thu, 31 Mar 2016 19:50:15 +0000 JerricaBenton 2512227@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She usually has something hot every day. Breakfast is generally her biggest meal so I take advantage of her hunger and fill her up! So she might have eggs, sausage or oatmeal with yogurt and fruitor cereal or some combination of the above. Some cultures are all about the hot breakfast as a rule though. I knew a Ukrainian guy in college who poured hot coffee into his cold cereal/ milk in the dorm caf because it had to be a 'hot breakfast.' </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hot-breakfast#post-2512222 Thu, 31 Mar 2016 19:44:07 +0000 erinbaderin 2512222@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Probably every other weekend I make from-scratch waffles or pancakes - I make extra to freeze so we can pop them in the toaster. Other than that he only gets a hot breakfast if we go out for breakfast. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hot-breakfast#post-2512221 Thu, 31 Mar 2016 19:43:02 +0000 fancyfunction 2512221@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I make oatmeal 1-2 a week for her and we usually scratch-make pancakes on the weekends. Otherwise it's usually frozen waffles or an English muffin. She likes scrambled eggs for lunch. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hot-breakfast#post-2512216 Thu, 31 Mar 2016 19:40:06 +0000 Orchid 2512216@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I make some sort of hot cereal everyday (most often oatmeal) and LO has that and fruit. We make waffles or French toast or pancakes on the weekends. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hot-breakfast#post-2512212 Thu, 31 Mar 2016 19:38:02 +0000 Alba4 2512212@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Probably 4-5 days a week. DS loves eggs, pancakes, oatmeal, etc. He Only goes to school 2 days a week, and on those days he eats more of a grab and go meal or cold cereal </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hot-breakfast#post-2512201 Thu, 31 Mar 2016 19:34:24 +0000 yin 2512201@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Everyday but they eat the same breakfast everyday. Oatmeal, sausage and a side of fruit. I make an egg for myself. I would make them some too but they're allergic. It takes about 10 - 15 minutes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hot-breakfast#post-2512194 Thu, 31 Mar 2016 19:30:00 +0000 travellingbee 2512194@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Weekends usually. Week days he usually has yogurt, fruit and a muffin (we make on the weekend) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hot-breakfast#post-2512189 Thu, 31 Mar 2016 19:26:47 +0000 sorrycharlie 2512189@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Never ha. Cold cereal 95% of the time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hot-breakfast#post-2512172 Thu, 31 Mar 2016 19:10:01 +0000 Smurfette 2512172@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Never. We made fresh pancakes, eggs, etc and she won't eat them. She wants the frozen mini pancakes every morning. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hot-breakfast#post-2512156 Thu, 31 Mar 2016 19:02:07 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2512156@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Besides eggs or oatmeal I don't really see a lot of nutritional benefit of making a fresh batch of pancakes each day. </p>
