Breakfast...

I am cutting out cereal from our breakfast choices!!  On top of not being very healthy, my kids are always hungry an hour after having cereal for breakfast.  The straw that broke the camel's back was yesterday.  We ate breakfast at 7:00 and my daughter had piano practice at 8:00 and while we were at her piano teacher's home, DS5 bugged me the whole half hour that he was "soooo hungry".  I informed him that we would have a snack when we got home, and he replied,  "I will never make it, can't I look in Mrs. Haner's cupboard and see if she has something?"  Huh...I'm so sure!!  I know my children have a way of exagerating things, but this happens everytime we have cereal!!!  I will stop being lazy and prepare my children good hearty breakfast every morning!  I like to make extra pancakes and waffles, and put them in the freezer, so that is what I am going to do this morning.  That way when we are in a hurry, we can still do our pop something in the toaster breakfast.  But this way it is good stick to your ribs wheat pancakes and waffles!  Does anyone else have some good hearty quick breakfast ideas for those in a hurry mornings?

Blessings today!

I agree so much with you. My dd that is 6 just about has whole wheat pancakes or oatmaeal every morning for breakfast or she just about starves of huner -lol. I have found that on the rare occasion she eats toast -since making our own -it satisfies her MUCH longer than any store bought stuff. Same goes for my husbands sandwhich bread at lunch.
So you are wise to catch on to this now.
btw -I am new to this and you are my first post!\

We've done the same thing here too years ago. Now they have a good hearty breakfast of oatmeal, pancakes or eggs & bacon. I read so many times that breakfast is the most important meal so decided it would be in our family.

We make rice with butter, milk and sugar. Also, oatmeal with raisins.

Pancakes are filling, and pretty easy. French toast, too. Sometimes I make a "sandwich"...mashed bananas spread between to slices, THEN dipped in the egg mix. Voila! Banana French toast.

On the run? Toast with peanut butter and bananas or raisins!

(We like banans LOL)

Have a great day!

Ok I dont buy too much cereal, not because my kiddos dont eat it, its because I do. lol. I can live on that sugary stuff, but having diabetes, its not too too good for me. Oh that and poptarts, which I dont dare ever buy.
My kids are older, the youngest is 13, so they want stick to your ribs breakfast foods. The other morning I made banana pancakes. Just mashed two over riped nanas into the mix and, viola. They loved them. I will look through my cookbooks and see what I have in the way of healthy morning foods.

You could try making up french toast sticks and freezing them. Easy to toast on a busy morning!
