Breakfast

I have a confession to make-I was never a breakfast eater growing up. I remember in kindergarten having to bring in what you ate for breakfast, then we did a lesson on a healthy, nutritious breakfast. I brought in toast, because that was what I ate.

 Then there was a place set for each of us, and I was stunned. There was toast, fruit and juice plus cereal. I definitely did not eat that much in the morning!
 As I got older, I began to skip breakfast because I could “save the calories”.  It wasn’t until I was in my 30’s and a mom that I realized the importance of a healthy breakfast. During the week, my son has cereal

and I have either cereal

or oatmeal myself.

He likes his chocolate milk,

 and I have either coffee or juice.

I have fruit

and toast, and I am not hungry until lunchtime.

On the weekends, we have special breakfasts. Saturdays are waffle days

 or cinnamon rolls,

and then on Sundays we have something special like quiche, egg bake or

 overnight French toast.
