Breakfast provides excellent nutrients, along with the necessary energy to help our children to concentrate and stay focused in school. This makes breakfast the most important meal of the day for our children.
Every morning I prepare a great-tasting nutritious breakfast for my 13-year-old son. He loves "my" oatmeal. I make it the way my mother makes it and believe me, it is delicious! (Sorry, I can't share the recipe!)
Some mornings I make him an egg sandwich with famous bread. Famous bread is a special bread I make that my whole family loves. My kids gave it the name famous bread! I cook eggs with turkey bacon and famous bread and sometimes my son will eat cereal. His favorite cereals are, Kix, Wheaties or Corn Pops.
After eating his breakfast, my son is alert, wide awake and full of energy. Yes, his tank is full; he is full of energy and ready to go to school!!!

NO matter what we're talking about, we just love the fact that we are together creating and sharing those special mealtime moments creating lifetime memories!
