View Recipe: French Toast Soldiers

French toast doesn’t have to be a junky breakfast. In fact, with the protein from the eggs and some fresh strawberries, it can be an energizing start to the day. Serve a small amount of syrup on the side if you want to control how much sugar your kids are getting. They’ll love dipping the “soldiers” into the syrup.

Crunchy Maple Granola

View Recipe: Crunchy Maple Granola

Think of this granola as a topping rather than a cereal. Instead of getting your kids all hopped-up on a full bowl (it’s loaded with delicious maple syrup), sprinkle it over yogurt with fresh blueberries or raspberries on top. You’ll still get the wonderful taste of the granola and the health benefits of the oats without too much sugar.

Hash browns are delicious, but they’re too much work to make at home. Here’s an easier method using fingerling potatoes that’s equally as good and makes the perfect accompaniment to fried eggs. Your kids might even think the potatoes are better than French fries.
