It's Better Breakfast Month (Giveaway!)

Did you know that September is Better Breakfast Month?

We all know that eating breakfast is an important part of our day, and studies have shown that kids fare better in school after eating a good breakfast vs kids who skipped it. But let's face it: some days, it's easier said than done. There's nothing like the joys of rushing around first thing in the morning, trying to get everyone out the door on time without missing the bus or carpool - and still keeping your sanity, right? ;)

DH's schedule has been so kooky the last few months, our breakfast routine has been off. I try to stick to as much of a sleep routine as possible for the munchkin and I, so there are days that we are eating breakfast without him. We like variety in our breakfast - some days we'll just have cereal, other days it's fruit and cheese, or toast/bagel/croissant. At least once a week when DH is home I make a full hot breakfast - pancakes or waffles, sausage or bacon, and eggs!

How do you like your eggs? We mostly eat ours scrambled around here. My personal secret to fluffy eggs? I use cheese! I'll often add fresh spinach or mushrooms to it, or sometimes tomatoes or leftover shredded meats, almost like an omelet, but scrambled. They are so easy to make! In under five minutes, I can have a great breakfast going for my family. I've even used leftover taco seasoned ground beef with cheese (of course) and tomatoes - whatever you have leftover you can add to the eggs. Confession: I don't whip my eggs in a bowl before adding them to the pan. I semi-stir them using a small wooden spoon and then add the ingredients, then I stir things around again. Laziness? I guess - it does save me from having to wash a few extra dishes. ;)


Do you prefer your eggs white or brown? I tend to lean brown around here, and I purchase organic whenever possible. Hopefully, one day soon we'll be able to raise our own eggs, but until then, it's store bought here.
