What is breakfast exactly? Some say it's the most important meal of the day.
Bacon and eggs? Pancakes? Cereal? Or if we're asking college-aged me, leftover Chinese takeout or cold spaghetti?I guess the answer must be E. All of the above.
Unless, that is, we're talking about breakfast for babies. And here, super readers, lies my very big problem. (Side note: I've been watching way too much Super Why.)
Josie is no longer in love with pureed fruit and baby cereals. The super polished flakes that dissolve instantly in a slurry of peaches just don't rev her morning motor anymore.
It's not that she won't eat those foods. Rather, she just prefers not to. She's more interested in what she can feed herself. Perhaps, I'm projecting this intolerance of being spoon fed upon her. Or perhaps, I've been slap-splattered by fruit and cereal too many times. Either way, I'm declaring an open relationship on breakfast. Josie is officially free to see other foods.
She ate breakfast at daycare on Monday. A blueberry muffin and pineapple. OK. Fine. Not great for every day, but an alright "HOLY CRAP! We are running late AGAIN! No time to pack breakfast!" option.
So, help me play matchmaker. Let's set Josie up with some new options.
Likes: fruit, cheese, eggs, whole grains, quick to make or easy to make ahead, can be eaten with fingers
Dislikes: unnecessary sugar, highly processed grains, tough to chew, must be eaten with utensils or spoon fed.
Mostly looking for a good time or a one-morning fling. But not opposed to settling down and making this a long term relationship.
You can scramble eggs and pour them into mini-muffin tins to bake. You can even add a little cheese. The "quiches" are easier to pick up than trying to eat scrambled eggs with fingers. My kids really liked this.
