Breakfast Challenge Recap and Mr. Linky
June 8, 2009 > 2 Comments
Today was the last day of our Breakfast Challenge, but certainly not the end of our breakfast making. Hopefully, this week has proven that with just a little extra time and preparation, we can provide our families with tasty, yet wholesome breakfasts.
Here is a short recap of what I made this week for breakfast:
- Monday – Fruit Loops, Corn Pops and Apple Jacks – Before Joy and I brainstormed our menu plan I had already bought 3 boxes of cereal for breakfast this morning.
- Tuesday – Everyone raved over Chocolate Chip Breakfast Biscuits. This will make my master menu plan, but I will most likely save it for special occasions.
- Wednesday – Layered Breakfast Bowl is another keeper as I have a 5 gallon bucket of grits. I see now why, when I placed my order, they asked if we like grits. Who knew how much 25 lbs of grits were!? Looks as if we’ll be eating them in eternity.
- Thursday – Another favorite headed to the master plan is Piggy Pudding. I was tempted to opt out of this breakfast because I was in a hurry to get out the door early to an appointment, but was happily surprised that it whipped up quickly enough. I put it in the oven to bake while I finished getting ready.
- Friday - Peanut Butter Banana Smoothies. This was a huge hit with my oldest son especially, who’s requested PB Banana Smoothies for every meal since! I am going to not only put this on my breakfast menu plan, I will be sure it’s on my list for a snack as well.
- Saturday – Apple Crisp. What can I say? This will go to the master plan too. Thankfully no breakfast this week was a scratch off.
- Sunday - Crockpot Oatmeal – I’m ashamed to say I was ill-prepared for this one. I even made a special trip to the store to get oatmeal, only to get it home and find out the oatmeal was quick cooking. Most recipe’s for overnight oatmeal call for steel cut oats. So I made do and cooked up a pot of oatmeal this morning, sprinkled with chocolate chips. For those of you who were interested in the recipe for cooking oatmeal in your crockpot overnight check it out here.
Please be sure to visit Joy and see how she summed up her week of breakfast.
Were you up for the challenge this week? What did you prepare? We’ve looked forward all week to seeing what your favorite breakfast recipes are. So please feel free to link up any breakfast recipes you’d like us to add to our master menu plan. If we choose to include your recipe on our Master Menu Plan, we’ll be sure to give you recognition at some point. {hint hint: free advertising!}
We’re beginning our Lunch Challenge on Monday. We’d love for you to participate with us. Just focus on making lunches each day this week, and maybe even trying out some new recipes. Then next Monday we’ll host another Mr. Linky where you can share your lunch recipes with the rest of us. If you don’t want to participate in the Lunch Challenge, we’d still love for you to link up any delicious lunch recipes next week.
