Breakfast Goal

So - is anyone else trying the breakfast goal for this month?  I've tried two things already and I'm enjoying it.  I LOVE breakfast foods and so does my family.  Tony doesn't appreciate it for dinner like me and my boys do - but... sometimes we sneak it in anyways!! :)  I also love to cook breakfast foods at any time because my picky eater Alex LOVES breakfast foods.  So that usually gets him to eat more.  I love to add pureed veggies, applesauce, flax seed, etc. in those meals to give Alex the extra vitamins / minerals that he's missing from not being willing to eat too many other things.

I made some pumpkin oat muffins which had wheat flour, oats, plain pumpkin, apple juice.... Logan, Tony and I all loved them.  Alex didn't get a chance to eat them as Tony took the rest for the next day's breakfast. :)  That's okay - I'll make them again.

I also have made my fav sweet potato pancakes.  Sweet potatoes are REALLY easy to play around with.  You can put them in lots of different recipes.  They have worked in every pancake recipe I've tried them in.  From scratch or not.  This time I did Bisquick since I had that.  Then I just add milk and cinnamon and there you go!  I also threw in flax seed.  That's always an easy thing to add for extra nutrition.

My BIL makes quinoa and eats that for breakfast.  I'm still trying to decide whether or not I should give that a go.  That is definitely a healthy breakfast though! :)

What other ideas do you have for delicious, healthy breakfast foods?!?
