As the kids have started school up again the need for bigger breakfasts has surfaced again. My kids are good eaters for breakfast usually, but as of late, Sarah isn't too interested. She tends to want to eat later, like 10am, after she's been up for a while. I tried having them get all ready for school first, then eat last, but that's not working too well either.
What are your breakfast ideas? Do you make big breakfasts like mom always did (yes, she's left big shoes to fill)? Actually, Dad is the breakfast maker these days, huh!
Let me know what you do and maybe I'll figure out how to get the kids fueled up for the day better. Geoff is always good for breakfast, but as Sarah gets older, I'm finding she's the harder one to get food into-- at least for breakfast. Any ideas?

I have never liked breakfast. Not that I don't like breakfast foods, I just am never hungry in the morning. I always have neasua. I have been that way since I was in high school.
But, if I do eat it, I eat something small just to make my metabolism start for the day. I usually eat a banana nut muffin and a string cheese. Or, an omlet.
Kevin always eats 3 bowls of cereal every morning. I offer to make breakfast for him, but he just loves his cereal.
I think we eat breakfast for dinner more often than we do for breakfast.
We eat pancakes, french toast, eggs, creamed eggs on toast, cereal, muffins, yogart, uh...I don't know. We just switch it up. If I'm in the mood to cook, I do, if not, we just eat a muffin or have cereal.
We tend to make breakfast itself a fairly easy affair so that we have time for scriptures. Occasionally we will have waffles or french toast but usually it is just cereal or eggs.
It gets even harder when seminary rolls around. Neither Caleb nor Dan will eat breakfast. Good luck.
I too, hate breakfast. However, it is very important for a productive and organized day. I eat it because it is good for me. That is what kids must do if they want to do their best. You don't have to like it, just eat it. Some of you kids did it well and even did not like it. But you ate it. Some did not. It was a problem for me to try to get some of you to eat it like you should, but I kept trying.
So, tell Sarah to eat it, and furnish her little amounts of what is good. Like fruit, juice, milk, toast, and actually, to do the best you need some slower digesting foods like meat and eggs. That way you will avoid the ten o'clock drag. You get it if you just eat carbs like cereal.
Again, it is a matter of learning what is good for one. There are lots of things in this catagory, and kids need to be taught to get on with it.
