Breakfast

by Jackie

What do you do for breakfast when you’re not a morning person? I feel like I should be cooking healthy, delicious breakfasts for Sam but instead I wind up feeding him dry cereal just about every day of the week. He will occasionally eat some cereal with milk. When we have Frosted Mini Wheats (I usually buy the Kashi or Trader Joe’s version) he’ll occasionally ask for them in a bowl instead of on his tray and sign for milk, which means a box of vanilla soy milk, not regular cow’s milk.

Every so often he’ll have some of my toast, but usually the only bread he likes for breakfast is bagels and half the time he wants them still frozen because he’s a weirdo. He’s rejected muffins and other quick breads for breakfast, though he will eat them at other times, and he rejects yogurt when I try and give it to him though others have had moderate success. He’ll eat a blueberry waffle occasionally, but again, he seems to like them frozen more than toasted with butter and syrup.

bunny_in_the_hole.jpgHe’s eaten bites of other people’s eggs before, but 9 times out of 10 he reacts as though they’re poison. Perhaps when he’s bigger I can entice him by making something like this, but honestly I don’t think I can be that crafty in the morning. My mother said he loves bacon, but I don’t think she noticed him scraping it out of his mouth after his first bite.

Sometimes he’ll eat fruit for breakfast, but he seems to prefer it later in the day, for snack, for lunch or for dinner. I’d like to be able to serve him something with whole grains, calcium, fat (since he’s still a little peanut) and fruit, like some sort of multi-grain pancake, but to be honest, I’m way too cranky in the morning to cook something he’s bound to reject. What do your kids eat for breakfast?

About Kids Dish

If you flip through the pages of a number of kids’ magazines, you get the impression that kids’ meals should be Michelin affairs, complete with matching dishware and veggies cut to resemble the works of impressionist painters.

Let’s be real. Parents don’t have that kind of time. And kids have to eat. The two are not mutually exclusive.

Kids' dish focuses on healthy, practical meal solutions for kids… and occasionally, that might mean matching dishware.
