The Breakfast Routine & A Giveaway

This is sponsored content by BlogHer and Kelloggs.


This giveaway is now closed. Please go to my second Kellogg's post for a chance to win another $100 Visa gift card.


We had a bit of a shock when my youngest son was a toddler. It was time to move from rice cereal and mashed bananas to something more substantial. I carefully broke a little cereal piece into small crumbs and placed them in front of him, with anticipation of seeing a big smile appear as soon as the toasted grains hit his tongue. Instead, a look of disgust and accusation crossed his little face and he promptly spit out the cereal. This was in direct contrast to my eldest son's reaction, who took one bite of cereal and never looked back at the start of his cereal infatuation.

Now, the cereal rejection might not seem like such a big deal, except for the fact that my youngest son now wolfs down eel and octopus whenever we go to a Japanese restaurant. And yet, he still will not try another bite of cereal.

So, what does our esoteric eater crave for breakfast? Well, luckily it doesn't involve any unusual international fare. We are able to get away with half a bagel with cream cheese, a soft boiled egg with toast strips for dipping, or an egg fried sunnyside up. For the last option, he eats all of the egg white first, then pops the entire yolk in his mouth at one time so it can burst in his mouth. I take the credit (or the blame, depending on how you look at it) for that little habit.

As far as the breakfast routine for the rest of the family, we are creatures of habit. Every weekend, my husband and I mix up a double batch of whole wheat waffles, spiked with spices such as cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, or ground ginger and blueberries. After eating one batch for breakfast, we slide the rest of the waffles into a ziploc bag and freeze them for breakfasts during the week. All it takes is a quick pass through the toaster oven to return them to their former fresh-cooked selves.

On mornings when the waffles stay nestled away safely in the freezer, my husband, our eldest son and I indulge our love for cereal. The two adult cereal bowls are filled with Raisin Bran, while our son switches between his two favorites, Rice Krispies and Cheerios. Whatever the choice, all of our bowls are topped off with whatever fresh fruit happens to be available.


Whatever ends up on our plates or in our bowls, however, one thing remains the same. We always sit down altogether to enjoy the first meal of the day. The table is set with place mats and napkins and we take time to find out what each person's day holds. Even if we have busy days in front of us, at least we enjoyed a few minutes chatting and enjoying each other's company.

Lately, my breakfast routine has consisted of heating up some turkey sausages. BUT, redeeming myself, I did make amazing homemade breakfast cereal last week.

My mornings are completely crazy so I usually wind up grabbing something like a muffin or bagel as I’m running out the door. My 2 year old gets a baggie of cereal to eat in the car and the baby gets nursed. Hubby is on his own and also typically grabs something as he’s running out the door.

"Routine" sounds organized. Nothing I do is organized. I grab something as I'm running out the door and eat it in the car!

I am so so so not a morning person! For breakfast I eat a Special K Bar at my desk every single work day. Much easier than trying to grab something before I leave for work.

Beth McC. said...

I eat the same every morning egg white, turkey sausage link on a 100 calorie bagel! I eat cereal for dinner I bet twice a week- Yum! Now I am hungry!

JS said...

I always eat a bagel with cream cheese. My daughter always has a bowl of cereal. We got all out around here! ;)

Nancy said...

Our breakfast routine is to all sit down at the dining room table and eat breakfast together as a family. We follow a diet plan which consist of eggs, fruit, milk and cereal or oatmeal.

Nancy Sue said...

It took my toddler awhile to adjust from banana and rice to crunchy morsels of goodness as well. He's still gungho though, for his warm rice and banana cereal with raisins and cinnamon.

I don't have a morning breakfast routine. I usually rush around, let the girls sleep as much as they can, then wake them up for our long commute to school. They eat in the car or fall back asleep.

Well ... my family is just two ... my hubby and myself. So our morning routine is to grab a cup of coffee and enjoy our backyard for a few minutes before starting our day (we work from home). And that's about it. We don't typically eat breakfast but sometimes on a weekend we make a brunch ... that's a lot of fun and relaxing when we have the time.

Ellie said...

Banana, yogurt, and cereal or granola bar. The kids, that is, cause I don't eat breakfast *gasp*!

I wish I could share that I have this amazing morning routine - and I wake before the children (ages 4, 2 and 9 months) wake... but it never/rarely happens. I really do NOT have a morning routine... it is a fly by the seat of our pants style morning routine. :P

Our 'goto' breakfast meal is either cereal/waffle/toast and yogurt/fruit.

I hope to have something set in stone by MONDAY when my oldest starts preschool! EEK!

Thanks, Rachel

I work 2nd shift so I sometimes don't go to bed until 3am. Needless to say, mornings consist of my husband calling and yelling into the answering machine to wake me up so I can get our daughter up and going for school...then I sit on the couch in a stupor until she leaves...it's cereal all the way for breakfast because if I try to use the stove, I'd set the house on fire, for sure.

I have a huge pet peeve about eating before school..if she skips breakfast I feel like the world's worst mommy so there's a lot of me yelling to "EAT SOMETHING" in the morning as she's trying to get ready. Even a granola bar eases my mom-guilt.

My two sons are completely different. One has to eat as soon as he gets up and the other needs to be awake for a while before he can eat breakfast. I let the little one eat a yogurt as soon as he gets up and then when the older one is ready, I’ll make them bowl of cereal, oatmeal, or a toasted English muffin. On the weekends, I try to do a nice family breakfast of pancakes or eggs and bacon.

On the days that he runs late, sometimes he will pick us up a hot breakfast to go or we just fend for ourselves and hit the cereal and milk.

I start work between 1 and 2 pm every day, so I enjoy taking my time in the morning.

Ours is pretty simple.... My boys...one prefers cold cereal or pop-tarts and the other is not a morning eater, for me it's coffee as I can't eat until I am up for a few hours.

My son’s typical breatfast is yogurt, fruit and a poptart, or McDonald’s. My morning breakast is 2 sausage and egg burritos from McDonald’s every morning, and about 4-5 cups of coffee :)

On the weekends, if he’s home I may make breakfast (pancakes or omlettes) or we’ll go out for brunch @ Cracker Barrel :)

Our weekday mornings are pretty choreographed (wake up shower and get dressed,
open the house start fixing breakfast, wake my kids up, they get dressed and we
all gather at the table to eat and then begin our activites for the day) because
I run a home daycare their favorite staple is cinnamon toast, cereal and fruit.
On the weekend its WHATEVER aka chaos!:)

Usually it’s cold cereal or scrambled eggs with cheese. The kids love to help make eggs and they love eating them.

We usually grab bananas and cereal on the run. :)

I'm not much of a breakfast eater, but my hubby is a dedicated cereal eater. He has a bowl (or three...) of cereal every morning.
