Need some breakfast ideas!

susangilchrist

I'm in a rut as far as the whole "toddler breakfast" thing goes.  I usually end up throwing something in the toaster oven while still half-asleep and before my first cup of coffee, so it needs to be easy.  We usually do cinnamon toast waffles, baby pancakes (I make them and freeze them), waffles with cream cheese or peanut butter on them, cereal, or oatmeal.  She's sick of them all, and so am I.  Any more quick/easy suggestions??

I know you mentioned waffles, but my son LOVES the pumpkin waffles so it's a little different. Trader Joes has a great mix and it's actually kind of nutritous. If you want to be indulgent, sometimes I put cinnamon whip cream on top.

My son also loves fresh fruit and yogurt. That's super easy but can get pricey.

Harlie's favorite breakfast is scrambled eggs and toast.  To save time, I make enough eggs for two days and so the second day I just microwave them a drop to take off the chill.

and I do the same thing with french toast--double batch

You can also try yogurt, stick cheese, boiled egg, etc.  Mia always has a bowl of fresh fruit every morning, so I alternate between bananas, berries, peaches, pears, and apples.  She's also recently been on a pomegranate kick.

My kids won't eat eggs to save their life (and I LOVE them)...how do you guys do it?!?!  We are in a rut too, so I have nothing to add...just the pancakes, waffles, oatmeal, cereal (no milk they are crazy), yogurt and fruit - apple, banana, tangerines, oranges, grapes.

Geneva eats fresh fruit, breakfast bars, oatmeal, cereal (I buy huge variety packs so she can pick her own), and yogurt.

Waffles, pancakes and eggs tend to be a weekend-only treat.

Thanks for the ideas ladies.  She won't eat string cheese to save her life.  She adores cheese eggs, so maybe I'll do that and refrigerate the leftovers.  Good idea.  She loves yogurt and fruit.  I usually add that to whatever her "main course" is.  I haven't tried breakfast bars in awhile.

i make blueberry waffles, french toast sticks (frozen ones), yogurt, or bagels for the most part.  oh, and sometimes fruit, like banana.

Lily likes yogurt, applesauce, fruit bars, toast, cereal, and fruit. If I had the time I would make stuff. But my mornings are nuts.

the kiddo will eat thing posted above for the most part. he also likes ricotta cheese, toast with cream cheese and fruit puree, and recently i have been doing crescent rolls with stuff inside for all of us when we are in a hurry. i do a lot of thin sliced ham and cheese, or herbed cheese spread. you can pretty much do anything (peanut butter, fruit puree, etc), bake a batch and heat them up each day.

my LO loves peanut butter toast, yogurt, fruit, muffins, pancakes, waffles, bacon, eggs, and english muffins. She is warming up to oatmeal but is still not a huge fan.

My trick with DD is ketchup on her scrambed eggs.  I know it sound weird but I only eat eggs with ketchup (hmm I wonder where she got it from).  LOL

My problem is how to get her to eat toast or ANY type of bread.  She refuses even with Nutella, which she loves.  She eats the Nutella off the bread and leaves the bread on the plate.

I make this and freeze it individual pieces.  So yummy and great as gifts too:)

Blueberry Pound Cake--Paula Deen

2 cups (4 sticks) butter, softened ( I did it with the I can't believe it's not butter sticks)

3 cups sugar

6 large eggs
4 cups all purposed flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk
2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour a (10 inch) tube pan.

In a lg mixing bowl, beat butter at a medium speed with an electric mixer until creamy; gradually add sugar, beating well. Add eggs, 1 at a time beating well after each addition.

In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking powder and salt. Add to butter mixture, alternately with milk, beginning and ending with flour mixture. Beat at low speed, blending well after each addition. Stir in Vanilla.

Fold in blueberries and pour into prepared pan. Bake for 1 hour and 30-40 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Shield top of cake loosely with foil halfway through cooking to prevent excess browning. Cool in pan on wire rack for 10 minutes. Remove from pan; cool completely on wire rack.

Please note: if you choose to prepare your blueberry pound cake in greased and floured bundt pan pour batter into pan until 2/3 full. The remaining batter can be baked in a greased and floured 9x5 inch loaf pan/

oatmeal, cereal (I buy a different kind every time a box is finished so they don't get tired of it), french toast sticks, frozen waffles, frozen pancakes, biscuits & jelly (this takes longer), pop tarts, cinnamon toast, toaster streudels, muffins (made the night before).....basically anything that i can make in 1-2 minutes and they can eat in a 15-20 minute time span.  Is it all healthy?  No.  But they aren't eating a ton of it either.  Do they get breakfast?  Yes.  Score 1 for mom.
