One of the most important and favorite meals at our house is breakfast and I am always trying to make something new each day of the week for my boys. These are the weekly staple breakfasts to get my boys going each day.
Mason's favorite...Pancakes! We really like the Krusteez brand however we have been trying to buy generic in an effort to save money and really, we can't tell much of a difference. Here are the different add-ins I have tried and liked: blueberries, 1 mashed banana and chopped pecans, (1/4-1/2 cups) pumpkin puree and pumpkin pie spice, apple sauce and cinnamon. Most pancake mornings also have eggs served on the side for some protein.
One of Garrett's favorites...oatmeal! I buy the old fashioned oats in the bulk section at Winco and prepare it on the stove top. I feel as though all the sugar in the prepackaged flavored oats is too much and unnecessary, here are the add-ins I use for delicious oatmeal (prepared with 1 cup old fashioned oats and 1 1/2 water): 1 mashed banana, frozen blueberries, apple sauce and cinnamon, 1 tsp. Splenda brown sugar and 1/2 tsp. vanilla, sub. apple juice for water and add some cinnamon, pumpkin oatmeal from my Deceptively Delicious cook book.
Our other weekly breakfasts consist of cold cereal (Raisin Bran, Honey Bunches of Oats, Cheerios, and Life are favorites around here), hot cereal-aside from oatmeal we also like Zoom (a wheat cereal) and cream of wheat, french toast, scrambled eggs and toast (usually with cheese sprinkled on top and occasionally diced ham as well), and egg sandwiches (English muffins with egg and cheese)

Yum Yum! I made this this morning- my kids ate it up! I didn't add maple sugar, but I did add the peanut butter.
