Hello,

 

My 10year old and I would like more variety in breakfast... apart from

different kinds of breads and cereals. I would like something that can

be prepared in 5 minutes or less, and is healthy as well. Please help

me with some ideas.

 

Thanks in advance,

- Deep.

If hot cereal appeals to you, you can put steel cut oats in a slow

cooker and let it cook overnight. It will be lovely and creamy by

morning, and with a splash of real maple syrup, raisins and/or

chopped nuts, and the milk of your choice it's really delicious and

certainly nutritious.

 

For a chewier breakfast, slow cook wheat berries overnight. You can

cook some fennel seeds with the wheat berries for licorice flavored

hot cereal!

 

When my husband makes his World Famous Wholegrain Sourdough pancakes

or waffles he always doubles the recipe and freezes meal-sized

amounts along with a couple pieces of vegetarian sausage in plastic

bags. They microwave beautifully and make a delicious and filling

breakfast.

 

Hope this helps.

When the kids were still living here, I'd make a large bowl of this. It was a

quick breakfast and if you look at the individual components, you'll see that

they managed to get a serving of carbs (bread), protein (cheese) and veggies

(their choice). That said, now I'll tell you what it was. Muffin Pizzas. I will

give you the ingredients, you tweak to family size. As we had 7 teens eating

this, it usually took about 3 pounds of mozzarella cheese and a large jar of

sauce, soooooo...

 

Shredded mozzarella cheese

Pizza sauce or spaghetti sauce in jar or can

Kids' choice of veggies or veggies and meat substitute

 

Put mozzarella cheese and cooked veggies or veggies and meat sub into large

bowl. Add pizza sauce or spaghetti sauce till cheese is covered but not swimming

in sauce. Keep refrigerated. Lasts about 3 days, so don't make more than that.

(Trust me, if the kids like pizza, you won't end up throwing any of it out.)

 

To make, put a generous amount of cheese mixture on half of an English muffin

(some liked them toasted first, some didn't). You'll be using about half a cup

of mixture per muffin pizza. Put in 375*F oven, cook until cheese is melted.

Warn kid it is hot.

 

Our teens would usually eat at least 2, often grabbing 2 and running to the bus

where they tortured their friends. On the weekends when their friends visited,

it was not unusual to go through another 5 pounds of mozzarella. Thank God for

day old bread stores.

 

We gave a large Halloween party every year (about 50 kids and adults) and used

about 20 pounds of Mozzarella.

 

Beats oatmeal and the kids always liked thinking they were getting junk food.

There are also instant waffles that you can pop in the toaster. I like the whole

grain, organic

ones on busy mornings.

I have done that for dinner many nights we are on the run

I would also add scrambled tofu eggs.  They can be warmed in the skillet, eaten,

and kept for a few days reheating in the microwave.  Toast and fruit, with trail

mix as a snack.  Yum to me

We normally make breakfast the night before while we are cooking dinner. For

instance, I made a batch of muffins and a fruit salad last night before bed.  My

husband commutes 2 hours one way to work so he leaves very early and grabs his

breakfast on the way out the door and eats en route.

 

Everyone else gets up and gets their day started at different times so this way

they have no excuses for not eating, it is there. 

 

I will also make a pot of rice or some other grains so they can be heated up,

and you can add whatever you want to.  I like savory foods so I will put veggies

on top of my rice for breakfast. One of my daughters like succanat, dried

fruit and yogurt with her grains and my son loves eggs (boiled or scrambled)

chopped up in his with garlic, salt and pepper.

 

The key is to think outside the box and plan ahead. Since our family is so large

and our schedule is so crazy that making breakfast the night before while we are

relaxed and can plan ahead works really well for us.  If we make huge batches we

will freeze them in individual serving sizes, so they can pop it out, heat it up

and go.

Ande,

I've often prepared breakfast the previous night and it works great.

I just love mornings and get most of my work and fun stuff done at

that time. Whether it is grains,veggies or fruit I like to just bring

it out and eat instead of creating a cooking mess in the morning when

I want to watch the sunrise.

When the children were small breakfast was the special meal of the

day and I allowed each child to make their own choice. However I gave

them several *choices*. They loved the pre-made pancakes or waffles

that they could place in the toaster. I would make a large batch the

day before and freeze them. I also made granola and sweet rice with

fruit. They didn't realize that their *choice* was really mine but

they did have several different foods from which to choose. My

favorite breakfast foods are often left over food from the night

before. My grandmother always said that food tastes better the

following day.

Deep,

    

      Maybe he's just tired of cooked grains or grain-predominant food for h is

breakfasts.  I was a bit like that as a kid--my parents liked all the

" traditional "

breakfast foods, most were pretty bland and starchy, not a " wake up the

taste buds " at all.  To my mother's consternation and my dad's aggravation,

I balked often at " their " breakfast foods--and Mom didn't really want to make

something different for everyone--who could blame her?

 

     Finally, an inspiration hit and Mom offered me soup for breakfast.  Of

course,

at the time, " soup " meant some of those yuckky canned (salty Campbell's

condensed) soups.  But at the time, I didn't know any differently--I liked them

MUCH better than bowls of cold cereal with (GAG!) white milk on them.  Or

the bland, mushy-cooked " scrambled eggs " with only salt on them that Mom

loved so much. 

 

     Maybe you could try offering your son some cooked vegetables for his

 breakfast, along with a small piece of toasted wheat bread or whatever else

he might like to eat with the veggies.  You could just save something from

your previous day's main meal to re-heat quickly; it doesn't have to be a

huge production or take a long time. 

 

    A small zip-bag of pre-cut raw veggies could go into a steamer basket

in a small saucepan and it takes very little time for the heat to make the

steam that very QUICKLY cooks the veggies.  Depending on how " crunchy "

he likes them, you may not have to do much at all to them.

 

    Some pre-cut fruit in a zip bag is also a FAST way to have something

ready without fuss in the morning.  If the fruit tends to brown in the air, just

dip it into some orange juice and there you go!

 

     A bit of yogurt and some sweet fruit (especially bananas) and other

things tossed into a blender with maybe a little soy milk or whatever--

a good whirl and VOILA!  You have a " smoothie " .  You can sprinkle in

any kind of nut butter or similar if you like it to be very filling.  I have put

bits of fruit-only spread in when I didn't have any fresh stuff around and

still wanted something of a fruit taste.

 

    You can go with grains still, but maybe flavor them differently--perhaps

your son would like a different " flavor " with the cereal or grain foods...

You can make it less sweet and more " seasoned " or herbal in flavor

to vary it.  Nothing wrong with beans-and-rice for breakfast!  Or left-over

cooked, seasoned beans wrapped in a tortilla and warmed. 

 

    Hope something suggested might be helpful to you.  Blessings to you

and your son!  Happy breakfasting!

 

--Laura B., in Illinois.

 

PS: For MY breakfast today, I mixed some sweet sticky brown rice, some steel cut

oats, some cous-cous, and spicy " curry " seasonings...some sliced almonds, some

raisins,

parsley, thyme, hot pepper, dried chopped onion, some split mung beans and

ground-up fava beans--not a lot of any thing at all, but a good mixture...and a

few other herbs/spices I can't recall...and cooked it all.  Didn't take too

long, although, time-wise, I could have done it last night and just re-heated it

today. 

 

     Anyway, it cooked nicely and made a texture much like other cooked cereal,

but with

 a more creamy-savory herbal-nutty flavor.  I liked it.  Different from the

sweet/starchy/grainy hot cereal we usually have.  I am cooling down the

left-over and saving

it to let DH try it for supper tonight.  He likely would NOT eat it for

breakfast, but I am one who does like variety of flavors, even early in the day.

Hello all,

     I have a 10-year old son, who is complaining about having cereal or

bread for breakfast everyday. Even though I vary the breads and the

cereals... we have at least two varieties of bread and 5 different

types of cereals at all times in the house, he still complains they

are in the same category.

 

I really need ideas for breakfast that can be made in 5 minutes or

less, are healthy and would appeal to him. He is usually not a very

fussy eater, so there aren't too many restrictions. I found that the

pancakes take too much time in the mornings (about 15 mins), so those

didn't work for us.

 

Thanks,

- Deep.

Yes, those are the ones that I have. I'm sure homemade is better, but, living

alone, I am not into a lot of time preparing because leftovers are still too

much quantity. Right now my freezer is full of split pea and lentil soup from

Jane Brody's " Good Food " . It is not vegetarian but certainly is easily adapted.

1. Vegetable soups ~ warm and fast to reheat.

 

2. Make pancakes the night before, heat up in

microwave or in toaster oven.

 

3. Quesadillas: tortillas with cheese and some sauted veggies.

 

4. Hashbrown potatoes [my son's favorite breakfast]

Here's an idea...

 

Make up a batch of pancakes and freeze them. Just pop them in the

toaster and they are done in the same time as toast. Just make sure

the size is right for the toaster.

 

My youngest adores pancakes (and would eat them three times a day.

That or peanut butter and jam or broccoli...at least there is one

green thing on his list). I always make extras and keep them in the

freezer in ziplock bags. I don't do traditional white flour pancakes

and usually add extra stuff like flax, nuts, etc. So far all toast

up nicely.

 

Good Luck.

And I toast the muffin until it is well done so there are plenty of nooks

and crannies!!! And I use the bacon rather than the sausage!! I bring them

to Senior Citizens, and everyone drools over them.

Thanks for your input, Laura. I think you might be right. One day, I

baked some apples and pears, and poured some honey and almond meal on

top... and that was a big hit with my son. I had some of that as

well, and it was quite filling. It was really different from what we

normally eat.

 

I am noticing my son is developing a preference for sweet foods, and

I am a bit concerned about that. I'm not sure if I should indulge

him, or try to ween him away from that. Any ideas from any of the

experienced parents here? Please reply to me offline if this is off-

topic.

 

Thanks,

- Deep.

Thanks to everyone who responded... I got a lot of new ideas. I will

try them out, and hopefully, some will click with my son :-)

Thanks to everyone who responded. I hope some of these will stick well

with my son :-)

I freeze whole wheat waffles. 1 to a baggie. I think they are easier

than pancakes.

When my kids were very little I would make homemade pancakes and

waffles on Sunday and freeze them. Easy to pop into the toaster. You

can add all kinds of toppings. Another idea is fruit and yogurt

parfaits... with yummy granola or even crushed nilla waffers or oreos

on top. Breakfast burritos are also a hit. Mix eggs in a shaker cup

from GNC... place into a microwavable safe container... add veggie

toppings and cheese and pop into the microwave. When it comes out, mix

it up a bit and place into a tortilla or pita pocket. Cheers! Tracy.
