Let's Do Breakfast too! (Homeschool Style)

[Michelle My Bell]

Since I started the lunch thread, I thought it would be a good idea to have a printout of easy Breakfast ideas as well. So let's each post one full menu.

 

RULES:

1. Simple

2. Healthy

 

 

THANKS!!!

 

Here is my contribution:

 

MENU

McHomeschool Muffin

Banana w/Yogurt

 

McHomeschool Muffin:

1 egg

1 whole grain english muffin

1 slice canadian bacon

1 slice 2% American Cheese

 

 

1. Break one egg into a hot, lightly buttered pan. Let fry till whites are starting to set. Carefully break egg yolk. If egg spreads out too much, gently fold sides in to keep a nice circle. Cook till no longer runny, flipping once.
   
2. While that is going, toast 1 whole grain english muffin.
   Once egg is almost done, quickly heat in the egg pan, 1 slice of canadian bacon on both sides.
   
3. Assemble sandwich on English Muffin with egg, canadian bacon and 1 slice of 2% American Cheese
   

 

Banana w/yogurt

Spoon 2-4 Tablespoons of yogurt into a small bowl. Top with banana and a bit of granola or grapenuts cereal.

Since starting up last week, we've been doing oatmeal. Mostly topped with cinnamon, occasionally brown sugar, and today blueberries! We also had leftover blueberry pancakes this morning. (We found some yummy blueberries on sale this weekend!)

[Michelle My Bell]

Crepes (Really thin pancakes)

Fresh Whipped Cream (Just buy heavy whipping cream, whip in your blender with 1-2 tablespoons of sugar and a touch of vanilla)

Strawberries

Turkey Bacon (for protein)

[Rhea]

Coconut Breakfast "Cake" on Fruit

 

For the fruit, cut up a variety and toss with lime juice. We usually use bananas, apples, grapes, and berries in season.

 

For the "cake" put the following in a bowl and combine well:

 

1 cup flax meal

1 cup almond meal

2 T coconut oil, melted

1/2 cup agave, honey, or maple syrup

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1/4 cup water

 

Place fruit in bowls or on plates, and drop the "cake" in small drops here and there on top.

 

My kids love this.

Thanks for this! I was hoping to see some new GF ideas.

My kids love egg sandwiches. It's a hard fried egg on toast with a slice of cheese. I use whatever cheese we have on hand. My two younger kids like mayonnaise on their sandwiches and my oldest likes mustard. Every once in a while I'll include whatever breakfast meat we have on hand, but usually there is no meat.

[Food4Thought]

For the GFCF crowd:

 

MENU:

Masa Pancakes w/ maple syrup

Scrambled or Fried Eggs

Fresh Fruit

 

Masa Pancakes

1 cup Masa (corn flour)

1 tsp baking soda

1 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp salt

1 large egg

1 cup fat-free milk (or rice or soy milk)

1/4 - 1/2 cup water

 

Mix all dry ingredients in a small mixing bowl. Add egg and milk and stir to mix. Add water as needed to make the batter thin, but not too thin, like pancake batter.

 

Ladle batter onto a preheated skillet or griddle coated lightly with non-stick spray. Use enough to make 3 1/2" to 4" pancakes.

 

Cook until the bubble holes do not close. Flip and cook a couple minutes more, till both sides are nicely browned.

Pancakes with strawberries

Oatmeal with fruit

french toast and sausage

scrambled eggs, bacon, gravy & biscuits

scrambled eggs w/ onions & bell pepper & toast

fruit platter and muffins

[AuntPol]

Besides coffee for mom?

 

My daughter eats frozen waffles or pancakes every day unless we run out. She usually eat peanut butter on them and eats with fruit. My son goes through cycles of sausage patties or eggs and occasionally pancakes or waffles or french toast sticks.

 

Here is what I eat though:

1. Banana Burrito: Spread a tortilla with peanut butter and wrap a banana in it. Serve with milk.

2: Breakfast taco: Melt a slice of cheese in a micowave for one minute and form into a "shell" -fill with scrambled egg and salsa.

3. Tomato Cheese Toast: Slice of bread topped with tomato slices, shredded mozarella cheese and toasted

4. Protein smoothie and a snack bag of homemade trail mix (whatever leftover cereals we have w/raisins or craisins and nuts)

5. Fruit and Yogurt

6. Cottage Cheese (blended to remove curds) w/splenda, cinnamon, and toasted nuts

7. Eggs topped with whatever we have leftover (chinese, chili, spaghetti sauce, etc)

[BikeBookBread]

Nothing original to add really, but this is what we do a lot:

 

 

• Yogurt with granola and fresh or frozen fruit
  
• French toast made with homemade bread
  
• Oatmeal with peanut butter mixed in
  
• Oatmeal with dried cherries
  
• Blender pancakes (there have been many recipes posted on this site. Here's one that I morphed a bit from here - I've also recently added in some buttermilk powder/water in lieu of the milk or yogurt, and have thrown in some rolled oats at the last minute or else they get really gummy)
  
• Buttermilk pancakes (recipe on the SACO dried buttermilk can), but I sub whole wheat flour 1:2 AP flour
  
• Waffles
  
• Bacon
  
• Breakfast burrito
  
• Scrambled eggs with mozzarella cheese, cream cheese, a bit of fresh spinach and some garlic (this is for me...) - this recipe was when I was on a super protein diet...these eggs ROCKED!
  
• Fruit smoothies (blend whatever fruit (fresh, frozen, a combo) we have with whatever juice, some yogurt, honey and frozen banana)

I never measure when I cook. This is my 2 yr olds favorite.

 

Pilsbury pizza dough cut in 2 in squares and pressed down in a mini muffin tin.

 

Cook a Stoufer's spinach soufle in the microwave for 7 minutes (not 10 like the directions say)

 

While that is in the microwave scrambel up about 4 eggs with a little milk and a little cheese. Then stir the 1/2 cooked spinich in it and fill you muffin tins.

 

Bake until your eggs look fluffy and golden. If you like you can make some bacon or sausage and throw in with the eggs and spinach too.

[tadah]

1. some sort of fruit

2. "brown rice porridge" -- leftover brown rice and milk (or coconut milk/soy milk/almond milk) heated up, sweetened to taste with maple syrup, craisins, topped with toasted almonds and/or coconut and/or cinnamon-sugar

 

My daughter loves it. I think I got the idea from this board originally :)

Anyone do a breakfast cookie? I'd love a recipe for a healthy-ish, protein-packed cookie.

[Laurie4b]

Anything my kids can make themselves; I typically only cook at suppertime. My kids have been getting breakfast for themselves since they were 3 or 4 (starting with the cereal; they started cooking around 1st grade).

 

Cereal with fruit and milk

Cinnamon toast

Cheese toast

Scrambled or fried eggs

Bacon (rare that we have this)

Pancakes (we use a Fiber 1 mix)

Frozen waffles (once in a while)

Whole wheat English muffins

[Onceuponatime]

*Breakfast bowl: 1 serving raw rolled oats. Sprinkle with cinnamon and nuts or seeds of choice. Add fresh fruit. Pour milk over all. Stir. Eat.

 

This morning I had it with mini semi-sweet chocolate chips on top. :-)

 

* Nut butter and banana sandwich. Toasted whole grain bread, all natural nut butter of your choice (no sugar), one banana sliced lengthwise. You can substitute sliced apple for the banana.

 

*Cheese omelet, sliced tomato, whole grain toast.

I haven't made these in ages, thanks for the reminder. This was something I cobbled together after trying a breakfast cookie from the store. This is how I wrote it but I'm sure I tweaked as I went along.

 

1 1/2 c peanut butter

1/3 c applesauce

1 c mashed bananas

3/4 c brown sugar

3 eggs

1 tsp vanilla

5 c oats

2 tsp baking soda

1 c chocolate chips

cinnamon (sorry I didn't write down an amount maybe try a 1 tsp to start)

 

Bake at 350 for 12 minutes

[HollyDay]

breakfast burritos: soft taco shell, scrambled egg, bit of shredded cheese.
