Tired of the same ol, same ol’? Be scandalous.
Have breakfast for dinner. Why not? It’s still food! Kids love pancakes? Whip ‘em up with chocolate chips or a schmere of peanut butter or Nutella.
Have you ever had a pancake sandwich? Put a poached or fried egg on top of the stack. Make sure the real maple syrup is warmed up and the butter is ready to go. Add some bacon or sausage and you’re set!
As for my clients with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder, I recommend dinner for breakfast. Roast or meatloaf with mashies give them the protein they need to make it through the morning.
Maybe a hard-boiled egg sandwich with mustard or a bean and cheese burrito they can eat on the run will do the trick. Fry up a burger for the road.
If your kids enjoy sweet in the morning and they want a cinnamon roll, pairing it with protein will help balance their blood sugar. Match their needs to the resources. Be creative.
