Breakfast Ideas my Kids Love!

Moms are always looking for new breakfast ideas that their kids will like. Having three kids, I know what most Moms are going through. I admit on occasion I will make frozen waffles but those days are going away pretty fast. I have been experimenting, using my kids as the test subjects. Just last week I made fruit and yogurt parfaits and to my surprise the kids loved them. They liked yogurt but they had never had yogurt, fresh fruit and granola all together. I bought these cheap plastic wine glasses to serve it and I think that helped!! This morning I made breakfast quesadillas and everyone loves those as well. Here are a few more things I like to make for breakfast.

Fruit and Yogurt Parfait – Your favorite yogurt, fresh fruit and Nature Valley Crunchy Granola Bar Oat ‘N Honey. You can use any kind of granola. I like the Nature Valley Bars and it’s usually cheaper than buying a bag of granola.

Start by adding a couple of spoonfuls of yogurt to a glass, add a few pieces of fresh fruit and top with granola. Keep layering until all the yogurt is gone. All three of my kids loved this fast breakfast.

Breakfast Quesadillas – Eggs, breakfast sausage, cheese and tortillas. Cook the sausage according to the package. After it’s browned add the beaten eggs, and cook until the eggs are completely done. This is your filling for the quesadillas. Place a tortilla on a warm griddle or skillet. Add a few spoonfuls of the filling to the tortilla and top with cheese. Fold in half, let the tortilla brown and then flip it to brown the other side. Quick and easy! Breakfast burritos would work as well.

Waffle French Toast – This is a great breakfast, takes a little longer than the other two but well worth it.

Apricot Morning Muffins – I love love love these muffins! They are so good. I’m not the type of person to get up extra early to make muffins during the week. I make these on the weekend after I get up, or I make them the night before, right after dinner. I pop a couple in the microwave the next morning for breakfast. The kids love them. My son ate these three mornings in row he liked them so much. This recipe calls for a jar of apricot spreadable fruit. I’m going to experiment with different flavors of fruit… I have blueberry in the pantry now. I might make those tomorrow night. I will keep everyone posted on that!

Try a couple of these recipes, I’m sure everyone in your family will love them! Have fun with breakfast, try something new!
