School Breakfast: Quick and Easy Turnovers

I am always on the lookout for quick and easy breakfast meals for my boys.  Especially warm food recipes that don't require an abundance of time.....this is one thing this full time working mother does not have extra of.

My boys like turnovers, but Squirrel is not a big fan of cherries or apples. He is all about chocolate. 

I opened the door one morning, thinking I had turnovers on hand. Nope. No turnovers to be found. However, I did manage to locate a tube of crescent rolls.

I'm the kind of person who thinks better when she is stressed and short on time, than when I have an abundance of time to plan.   It's the fight or flight thing.

School Breakfast: Sugar Donut Muffins

As a working mother, I struggle with sending my children to school knowing that all they will receive for breakfast is a box of cereal and a carton of milk.  I grew up having a good, solid breakfast......at least until I was a teenager, then I was too worried about my appearance to eat!

Along with that worry, Squirrel is lactose intolerant. A carton of milk is the last thing he needs for breakfast, as it may end up somewhere other than his stomach.

I started the school year experimenting with different breakfast items.

We have had The Pioneer Woman's Breakfast Burritos (awesome!), traditional breakfast casserole, breakfast sandwiches, sausage links......you know the rest of the story.

One weekend, I came across this great little recipe in a cook book from New Mexico and thought these little gems would be a huge success and I was right.

Saturday Cooking with the Kids

My kids love to cook....especially when it comes to cracking eggs and using measuring cups.  I take advantage of their enthusiasm and encourage them to help in the kitchen. Of course, I pay for it later because their mess is twice what mine would be. Oh well - it's worth every bit of mess!!

My kids love this recipe - Fluffy French Toast.
