Breakfast Menu or the Week

[heyhun77]

If you are on the food program you are required to serve a fruit or veggie with breakfast and two with lunch. I do 99% whole fruits/veggies meaning I do juice 1 time per week or less.

For lunches I do a raw veggie tray in the summer since it's too hot for cooked food and the veggies that need to be cooked (yams, squash for example) I steam and then chill before serving.

For breakfast I also serve a protein each day. That's coming down the pipeline for food program requirements anyway and it's good for brain development.

Hmmm.....What would Darwin say????

Are these medically diagnosed food sensitivity issues?

Slimy oatmeal can be baked into breads and served with a nice pat of butter and jam.

Watermelon is nutritionally irrelevant so I would not worry about that.

Greens can be pureed and added to rice or pasta "secrets in the sauce".

Get sneaky.....::

What if your young fella on the search for these kinds of cowboy coloring pages too?

Let me just say I have to say Hi everybody...

First post in that forum.. hopefully not the very last..

I was wondering if your youngsters are acting odd lately.. Each of the kids are trying to get those Cowboy Coloring Books all of the sudden and I do not know why.
I mean, there is no new cowboy or any rodeo video or a tv series right...? So what's the big issue..? Anybody had any luck discovering some coloring books completely free??

Any tips?? The kids are craving for more...

My 4 yo has a lot of Autistic tendencies, possibly Asperger's. Pedi says he's on the low end of average, don't worry, he'll catch up. Local school district says there's issues, but the highs and lows average out. Let's retest in a year.

I gave him cool whip with a few drops of chocolate syrup yesterday to fingerpaint with. He wouldn't touch it, kept pushing the plate away. Today I gave him some with a pancake to dip in it and he ate it.

The only fruit he will eat is peeled apples, applesauce, and bananas. The only veggie he will eat is cooked broccoli in cream of fresh broccoli soup. Which is funny because anything green grosses him out. He is offered the same fruits and veggies as the others every day.

He just started eating macaroni and cheese.

If my parents want their children having hot breakfasts I tell them they'll have to feed them their breakfast before arriving. I open at 7:00 and we have to be out the door before 8:00 to get kids to school. I am back and forth to the door repeatedly in that time letting kids in and if I am trying to cook anything, even toast, it quite often gets burned. Therefore if my parents want their kids to have breakfast here, their choices are dry cereal (Cheerios, Rice Krispies, etc.), pb&j or banana sandwiches and fresh fruit. I quite often do the hot breakfast thing for lunch, ie. scrambled eggs with ham & cheese, waffles with fruit on top etc.

Tues: Cold cereal, cantaloupe, milk
Weds: Banana muffins (HM) fruit salad
Thurs: Mini quiche with ham, blueberries
Fri: Friday is pancake day! Pancakes, link sausages, watermelon

My current group is a 10 month old, a 9 month old and 4 year old and a almost 5 year old. The two older kids are picky and like eating the same thing each day. I mix it up because they need some variety. For a long time I had what I called my oatmeal group. I would serve oatmeal a bunch of different ways and they loved it and it stuck to there ribs. my current group would not touch it. Its hard to feed super picky eaters. Glad I found this thread.

This a an old thread but Still a great topic! Milk served with all (unless a smoothie made with milk)

My breakfasts-
Organic cold cereal usually with cut up banana in it

Smoothies made with frozen bananas, other fruit - fresh or frozen, milk&/or yogurt. Sometimes I throw in sliced avocado

Organic frozen waffles/fresh fruit ( Aldis)

Peanut or almond butter toast/fresh fruit

Trail mix breakfast-organic cereal mix, craisins in a Baggie, fresh fruit

Oatmeal cooked with banana & sweetened with a drizzle of real maple syrup.

Raisin toast, fresh fruit

Homemade muffins or bread ( blueberry, pumpkin, banana) fruit

Yogurt parfait

French toast bake

I hate a big mess in the morning so I serve breakfast foods at lunch often. I love the breakfast cup mentioned above-that would be great for BF or lunch!.

Mon, Wed & Fri I start later so breakfast is very simple for the owner of the daycare to put out. I set out her bowls, spoons and cups and all she then has to do is toss 'em on the cart and grab the cereal boxes and milk. I am phasing juice out except for with these three breakfasts each week. Also, once Coco Cream of Wheat is gone, I am intending to replace with plain Cream of Wheat.
