justme824 Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 When you get eye rolls when announcing oatmeal again for breakfast you know you need some new ideas :) So I am hoping you can offer up some good ideas to reboot breakfast around here!

Mrs Mungo Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Ummm...we had scrambled eggs and toast. So, not all that exciting today. Here are some breakfast ideas that I've posted in the past (we tend to do a lot of protein at breakfast: Breakfast burritos baked oatmeal or steel-cut oats omelets crepes (they are mostly egg) boiled eggs and fruit migas huevos rancheros yogurt parfaits with homemade granola, greek yogurt (it's higher in protein and lower in sugar than regular) and fruit waffles with peanut or almond butter biscuits, sausage, scrambled eggs breakfast pizza various egg-based casseroles french toast with bacon Breakfast frittatas Quiche Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TammyinTN Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Quaker Banana Nut Bread soft baked bars. I get 24 of these at Costco for 9.99...on those morning when I don't want to cook. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
extendedforecast Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Leftovers are being eaten here. We usually don't eat typical breakfast foods in the morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thescrappyhomeschooler Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Breakfast is a PITA around here because no one likes much of the same things. Today the kids are having toast, apple slices and banana shakes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DusksAngel Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 We had pizzas. On other mornings we'll have eggs or oatmeal (depending on the kid). Usually though, we have leftovers or lunch style things... We don't eat "normal" breakfast things Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indigomama Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 We pretty much have the same thing everyday. Boring but easy. Oatmeal, eggs (boiled or scrambled), a fruit, and sausage or bacon. Saturdays are pancake days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lara in Colo Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 cookie dough oh wait the children??..... they have the usual, 1 egg and 1/2 bowl of cereal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoot Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 I have to be out of the house for work at 6am and DS13 usually goes with me so he grabs something quick like frozen waffles, pancakes, toast, cereal or bagels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nmoira Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Almost always porridge, a small sausage patty (not the salty frozen kind... yuck), fruit, milk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom-ninja. Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Yesterday we had hot cereal (mix of millet and buckwheat) and this morning we had english muffins with almond butter along with sliced bananas and apples. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soror Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 this am: scrambled eggs w/ bacon parfaits w/ grain free granola, coconut yogurt and blueberries (frozen) OJ for the kids Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaxMom Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 yogurt and granola, (gf) pancakes/waffles/muffins, steel cut oatmeal, eggs (scrambled, over easy, in a sandwich...), dutch baby, leftovers, toast, bagels... It varies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k2bdeutmeyer Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Can you all come feed my kids in the morning?? They usually just have cereal. I want to be creative and motherly like you all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tita Gidge Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Breakfast is "fend for yourself" - which means anything from last night's leftovers to a simple bowl of cereal. I have one who will make everyone omelets a few times each week, and I have another who bakes batches of muffins each week that the others pick through in the mornings. I'm never hungry until lunch time, so I just have coffee in the mornings. That's how the kids learned (early) to fend for themselves :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshin Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 We also do fend for yourself in the morning. DS12 sometimes makes eggs in various ways, or they have oatmeal, or leftovers. Sometimes the boys make a batch of pancakes or muffins on the weekend and freeze them for the week. They make smoothies in summer. They always have fresh fruit or home canned fruit with breakfast. DH doesn't eat breakfast and I wake up three to four hours before everyone else, so I make myself a quickie veggie fritatta most mornings.

Tess in the Burbs Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 My kids feed themselves, but the following are available: cereal(3-4 different kinds) bagels/cream cheese toast( with jelly or apple butter or cinn/sugar mix) eggs(can also make grits) oatmeal So they can pick and chose their own thing, make it, eat it, clean up. I do offer pancakes or waffles on the weekends. Since we have food allergies we use a certain mix for that and it's only a family thing....b/c we can literally eat one box of mix and have no leftovers. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
