Breakfast ideas?

jillybean800

Ok, so I know we recently got lunch ideas in a post, so anyone interested in doing the same thing for breakfast?  A usually gets a yogurt, then a whole grain waffle or blueberry pancake. Sometimes I do fruit with breakfast, sometimes with lunch. I can sense his boredom and I feel bad for not exposing him to more! So ideas would be greatly appreciated

ETA: Also A has a mild egg allergy, so we've been avoiding straight on eggs.  It limits breakfast!  I am going to try them again when he's around 2, as per allergist suggestion. But he can eat things made with eggs, like pancakes or French toast.

I love egg omlets as a way to put veggies like spinnach in w/o C knowing...she eats it right up!  She also likes toast, oatmeal, muffins and pancakes.  I end up making pancakes/french toast on weekends and freeze them.  Then I just pop them in the toaster like you would an eggo and wha-la!

I usually give L the same few things, because that's all she wants:  either yogurt and fruit, scrambled eggs with spinach and cheese, or a bowl of Cheerios and milk.  The kid is obsessed with Cheerios and since she's discovered she can eat them with a spoon she really doesn't want anything else

We usually have oatmeal with a fruit in it, yogurt, toast or pop tart (not the healthiest choice but hey sometimes we need a quick fix), or waffles. A doesn't like eggs and I wish he did so I could make omelets. we do the occasional French toast but only I'd dh is home too to enjoy.

Have you tried oatmeal or smoothies?

There was a recipe (I think on weelicious) for a banana bread pudding thing, but I think it was made with quinoa iirc.  I have it printed out at home, but I think it would work for a breakfast option.

Oh, B also likes sausage patties - although we usually save meat for dinner.

ETA - here's the link to the banana pudding thing.  I should add, I haven't actually made it, but it seems interesting.  Please jilly - be my test kitchen!

Our usual breakfast is a banana first and then I give her a pancake to hold and eat. She recently turned her nose up at yogurt, but she's better with eggs and cheese (I know that is out for you). Other than that, nothing too exciting.

We're in a rut, too, but it's a different one. We always do some kind of fruit - that's the variety. Then almost always oatmeal + either half of a waffle, toast, or cereal.

Lately, LO's been dipping & dunking his waffle or toast into his oatmeal or applesauce sometimes - maybe yours could do the same with the yogurt? He also likes putting a cheerio or a berry or piece of fruit onto the spoon with each bite of oatmeal. That might jazz things up a bit, too.

You know it's funny...oatmeal never occurred to me.I can't believe it! Do you guys use instant or the cook kind?  Plain or flavored? I am guessing flavored has a lot of sugar?

E hates eggs so that is out for us too.  We do toast, pancakes or waffle; yogurt or cheese; fruit and/or berries; oatmeal with honey (not instant but the 1 minute kind made with milk and cinnamon); sometimes a little salmon; breakfast burrito made with cheese and I will shred or chop up the chicken or turkey from the night before (I try and throw some eggs in there once in a while but she's onto me).

Oh yeah, we do oatmeal too!  We use the quick oats ( I cook them in the microwave for 2 min ) and I add milk, a tiny sprinkle of brown sugar, and some strawberries or raspberries.

We do veggie & cheese omelets on the weekend.

M-F he gets fresh fruit & either toast or waffle.

Our fruit rotation is usually mangoes & bananas, but we'll also do cantaloupe, strawberries & his most recent favorite - watermelon.

We are really boring up in here. Hazel gets applesauce and either cold cereal (of which we have some variety) oatmeal, or cream of wheat. Sometimes on the weekend we'll make her eggs.

I do oatmeal with fruit chunks mixed in most days.  I used 1/4 c quick oats in the microwave for 1 min then chop the fruit and mix it in.

We sort of rotate between a few different things..

Toast, toast w/ pb & j, toasted bagel, scrambled egg, yogurt, pancakes (I make a big batch and they freeze well), oatmeal made with applesauce to sweeten, cream of wheat, or mini wheats soaked in milk for a while.

Most mornings he has yogurt with granola and either blueberries or strawberries. Sometimes he gets toast with jelly, a banana, cinnamon raisin toast or a Nutrigrain bar. We do eggs sometimes on the weekends.
