With kids heading back to school, you may be dreading the morning madness of getting everyone out the door. But in all the frenzy, don’t forget to allow time for the most important meal of the day. Eating breakfast will not only help your children do better in school, it can also be a fun way to begin the day. Let your kids help make these quick and easy breakfast recipes!

Banana Dog

Whole-grain hot dog bun
Peanut butter
Wheat germ or sunflower seeds
Banana
Jam

Spread peanut butter on whole-grain hot dog bun and sprinkle with wheat germ or sunflower seeds. Top with whole, peeled banana. Squeeze a squiggle of jam on top of banana. For a Banana Burrito, use a tortilla instead of the hot dog bun. Makes 1 serving.


Egg in a Nest

1 egg
1 slice of bread
1 tablespoon butter

Crack egg into bowl and set aside. Using a 3-inch cookie cutter (circle, heart, star, or flower), cut a shape out of center of bread. Melt butter in frying pan over medium heat. Place bread in pan and fry lightly on one side (you can also fry cutout shape). Flip bread over and reduce heat to low. Carefully pour egg into cut-out hole in middle of bread. Cover pan and cook for 2-3 minutes or until egg has set in the bread "nest." For an over-easy egg, flip egg and bread and cook on the other side.
