We get our eggs from a local farmer, so they're free range and organic. DD loves her eggs... which is good b/c she won't eat most other animal protein. Because she doesn't eat much meat, I try to give her eggs on as many mornings of the week as possible. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-go-to-breakfast-for-the-kids#post-1148166 Sun, 13 Oct 2013 22:28:06 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 1148166@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Most days it is Cheerios, but they can only do that so much, so we also do scrambled eggs, peanut butter toast, fruit and steel cut oats. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-go-to-breakfast-for-the-kids#post-1148161 Sun, 13 Oct 2013 22:21:52 +0000 808love 1148161@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, we have to mix it up too! Scrambled eggs, sausage links and rice are a favorite. Another is Cheerios and milk with a banana. Some days it is a frozen waffle with sausage. My super easy fallback is McDonald's pancakes and sausage on the go. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-go-to-breakfast-for-the-kids#post-1148143 Sun, 13 Oct 2013 22:03:50 +0000 irene 1148143@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Freckles: Thank you!!

I made them today and the whole family enjoyed them :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-go-to-breakfast-for-the-kids#post-1148118 Sun, 13 Oct 2013 21:31:05 +0000 Freckles 1148118@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@irene: @locavore_mama: When i reduce the sugar amount, i make sure to up the liquids (since sugar adds to the moisture). For instance, in this recipe (<a href="http://wednesdaychef.typepad.com/the_wednesday_chef/2006/04/martha_rose_shu.html" rel="nofollow">http://wednesdaychef.typepad.com/the_wednesday_chef/2006/04/martha_rose_shu.html</a>) i only use 1/4 cup of maple syrup and add in 1 ripe banana to replace the other 1/4...still super moist and not very sweet.</p> <p>Here is another hearty, nutritious but not overly sweet muffin recipe: <a href="http://orangette.blogspot.ca/2012/10/i-stand-by-my-assessment.html" rel="nofollow">http://orangette.blogspot.ca/2012/10/i-stand-by-my-assessment.html</a></p> <p>(Kim Boyce and Martha Rose Shulman haven't let me down yet!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-go-to-breakfast-for-the-kids#post-1148114 Sun, 13 Oct 2013 21:25:56 +0000 shellio 1148114@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>oatmeal. Quick and easy, he will gobble it up and we mix in some veggies as well as fruit, whatever is on hand. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-go-to-breakfast-for-the-kids#post-1148110 Sun, 13 Oct 2013 21:23:27 +0000 lemondrop 1148110@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not into cooking in the morning, so usually it's a large scoop of cottage cheese and whatever fruit we have laying around with a cup of milk (usually I start him with a hand full of Cheerios first). Sometimes yogurt or oatmeal instead. Other times I'll give him some of my bagel and cream cheese if we are on the go. Blueberry muffins are his favorite, but he doesn't get them more than a couple times a week. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-go-to-breakfast-for-the-kids#post-1148098 Sun, 13 Oct 2013 21:12:05 +0000 chrispygal 1148098@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Daycare breakfast is typically yogurt and fruit, and sometimes we'll send half an organic cereal bar along. At home we'll have pancakes and sometimes eggs. She's not that big on eggs right now. We've done peanut butter toast, which was a hit too. We haven't tried oatmeal in a while so maybe we'll give that a shot again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-go-to-breakfast-for-the-kids#post-1147990 Sun, 13 Oct 2013 20:02:53 +0000 regberadaisy 1147990@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Freckles: Mmmm will have to try those!! </p> <p>@irene: the one I posted above calls for 2/3 cup sugar and 2tbsp honey. But I made it with no honey and only 1/3 cup sugar. Next time I plan to eliminate sugar and use honey. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-go-to-breakfast-for-the-kids#post-1147961 Sun, 13 Oct 2013 19:52:48 +0000 Mrsjets 1147961@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Freckles: ooh thanks!

Fruits are usually blueberries, peaches, apples, plums, pears, strawberries, or whatever else is seasonal and around. Protein is usually yogurt, but might be turkey sausage or bacon (she won't eat eggs, tragically). Grain is cheerios, toast, bagels, potatoes, or pancakes. We eat really protein-y bread, too, so if she skips her protein for the morning she's still getting a good bit of it. And if she skips the bread (which she often does) I don't care. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-go-to-breakfast-for-the-kids#post-1147875 Sun, 13 Oct 2013 19:01:57 +0000 irene 1147875@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>scrambled eggs, pancakes and some fruit. Cheese optional (if he doesn't eat any of the previous things). And the scrambled eggs must be scrambled a certain way or he won't eat it.</p> <p>I know I need to mix it up more but the results have been frustrating. I made a toasted sandwich with cheese and egg before, he peeled it apart and didn't quite eat anything except the toast. We used to make hard boiled eggs, he doesn't eat them anymore either. DH is against processed food so I didn't give him sausages or meat in the morning yet (unless if we go out to eat, that's an exception). I didn't want to give him cheerios either because I know he's eating a ton of those as snacks at school. Then, he doesn't eat yogurt in the morning (or he wouldn't take spoon feeding in the morning, and we are in a time crunch I can't let him feed himself (20 months) and make a mess). </p> <p>ETA: I would love to find a recipe for a low/no sugar muffin because he eats those! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-go-to-breakfast-for-the-kids#post-1147872 Sun, 13 Oct 2013 19:00:06 +0000 Bao 1147872@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She loves pancakes, bagels, cereal, toast, waffles.

She has yogurt and fruit pretty much every dat, with the occasional waffle or pancake thrown in. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-go-to-breakfast-for-the-kids#post-1147853 Sun, 13 Oct 2013 18:34:12 +0000 mediagirl 1147853@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Eggs, sausage, banana, apple, applesauce, yogurt, pancakes, waffles, quiche, oatmeal with blueberries, toast with peanut butter, bagel with cream cheese.

She's now refusing the bread. Sigh. It's tough since she's allergic to eggs, milk and gluten. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-go-to-breakfast-for-the-kids#post-1147645 Sun, 13 Oct 2013 13:59:40 +0000 Freckles 1147645@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Cereal + milk and bananas if i have nothing ready. We also do scrambled eggs with toast, or toast with pb + j. Sometimes i'll give her a homemade muffin, oatmeal, or greek yogurt. She also likes smoothies, waffles and pancakes. </p> <p>@Mrsjets: I really like Martha Rose Shulman's recipes because they never call for more than 1/4 to 1/3 cup of sugar in her recipes.

We also freeze French toast or oatmeal bars and eat those during the week. Definitely mixing it up helps. I do have trouble getting in protein for breakfast though... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-go-to-breakfast-for-the-kids#post-1147155 Sat, 12 Oct 2013 21:15:43 +0000 matador84 1147155@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I put some oatmeal in a thermos with dried fruit and he eats that at daycare. Occasionally he'll have french toast or waffles. </p>
