Monday - Oatmeal
Chocolate Banana Sweetened Oatmeal - still a favorite
Overnight Steel Cut Oats - my favorite way to eat them is with frozen sweet cherries
Plain oatmeal with various toppings - frozen blueberries and sliced banana is the kids' favorite. My current favorite is this cookie in bowl form with brown sugar, craisins, coconut, and if I have them, a few white chocolate chips
Tuesday - Eggs
Scrambled eggs and toast, muffins, or smoothies. Lauren finally likes scrambled eggs, especially since she can make them herself.
Wednesday - Pancakes or Waffles
Perfect Pancakes - my favorite everyday recipe
Cottage Cheese Pancakes
Blender Pancakes - now that I have a decent blender, I can make these
Classic Buttermilk Waffles - I double so I have enough to freeze for another meal
Overnight Buckwheat Oat Buttermilk Waffles - I haven't made these yet, but I really want to
Thursday - Yogurt
I'm not a big yogurt fan, but the kids are, so I'm trying to make it regularly using my Instant Pot, following these tips. We have it with toast, muffins, or granola.
Friday - German Pancakes, French Toast, or Baked Oatmeal
German pancakes seem like a special breakfast, but I find them really easy for a weekday morning since you just mix and stick in the oven - no standing over a griddle or waffle iron. And, I tried to figure the cost and with current prices found that a pan equals just about $1 to make. I cut our 9x13 pan into four pieces and it is devoured fast. I might have to start doubling the recipe soon.
Lauren learned how to make french toast and now thinks she's ready for the Kid's Baking Championship.
