As a kid I would usually have whatever my mom would make for breakfast so it could be eggs & toast, cereal, waffles, pancakes I wasn't fussy. Then as I got older I just stopped eating breakfast all together. I was not and still am not really a morning person so my main goal was just getting out of bed, showering and getting dressed.
But now that I'm the mom I find myself serving my littles breakfast every morning and thankfully they are still in the "eat what I put in front of you" stage so it hasn't been too much of an issue yet. We have anything from fruit, yogurt, eggs, cereal, oatmeal, cheese, ham or maybe muffins I have made.
I know it's coming the day that they start to refuse what I prepare and instead want Fruit Loops, Captain Crunch, Cocoa Puffs. I figure I might as well just give them the bowl of sugar if I give them those options. I find it hard to swallow every time I see the commercials where they are telling us these cereals are actually good for our kids. Stretching the truth just a bit I think.
After 42 years I have come to realize that I do in fact function much better when I have a healthy breakfast in the morning so at least I hope I will encourage the kids to eat as well. During the week I always have a combination of the below cereals. There is enough sweetness but a whole lot of good for you as well. Remember fibre is your friend. :}

My kids want a big country breakfast every day...seriously! Hubs and I pre-cook 4 lbs. of bacon at a time..it makes me a little nauseous smelling it all day, but then we freeze it and in the morning take 3 pieces out and zap them in the micro for 30 seconds and serve it with french toast, eggs, or pancakes...if I am lazy..just yogurt, toast and fruit with the bacon:)
During the week, we have cold cereal(Raisin Bran, Life, Rice Krispies, Cheerios) and hot cereal (oatmeal w/blueberries, cream of wheat). Saturday in our house, is egg day with bacon and toast.Sunday is pancakes/waffles with sausages.
