Our Breakfast Routine: Boring or Bustling

I have told you many times that my family loves cereal.  Yes, we can go through a box in a day in a half!  And while we do love the carbs- it’s boring and not exactly a balanced breakfast menu. Also, as my kiddos are getting older their appetites are growing.  But with 3 kiddos to get out the door in the morning, I’m not in any place to come up with – let alone make-  a 3 course, well balanced meal.

Breakfast Meal Planning

I know many people who meal plan their dinners.  But how about breakfast?  I am determined to put together a plan for next week’s breakfast.  By creating a Breakfast Meal Plan, I hope to not only alleviate the morning routine stress, but also be able to provide better food options too. That means I am going to have to make some things ahead of time.  But I am up for the challenge (more on the Carnation 7-Day Challenge fun below)

First I decided to check out the aisles of my Kroger for some inspiration.  I saw the Carnation Breakfast Essentials® Powder and knew I could use it in a great recipe (since I have done so before.

I used Carnation Breakfast Essentials® Powder in my Chocolate Peanut Butter Energy Bites.  It was a perfect addition to that recipe, so I figured it would be a great addition to a new breakfast recipe.  Strawberries n Creme Oatmeal Breakfast Bars just sound like the perfect way to start the morning. I took my previous recipe and just tweaked it a little.  Below is the recipe to add to your breakfast line up:
