Breakfast Brain Fart....
Ok, I am seriously having struggles coming up with meals for breakfast. I of course do the standard waffles, French toast and pancakes but can't seem to get beyond that. What are some good breakfasts that you make? FYI-this would be for a 13 month old. Thanks!

You CAN do them on the food program, yogurt and eggs, you just can't count them on your menus, they aren't required... I think that is what she means... So, I could MAKE them, they would just be something EXTRA.

Oatmeal:
apple pie oatmeal pumpkin pie oatmeal blueberry cream oatmeal banana bread oatmeal If you make them with a flavored soy milk then you will add little or no additional sugar. |
Thanks for all the ideas! Joseyjo-would you mind sharing your recipe? That sounds really good!

They would LIKE us to serve a protein 1x a week but not required. At some point in the future it may be but as slow as things move it could be years. Children learn so much better with a lean protein.

what they are saying is this.....
on the food program we can get partial reimbursement if we follow this guideline. Anything that you serve outside of that, is up to you and you will not get any form of reimbursement for. bk: to meet USDA food program you must serve at least the following grain, fruit and milk As long as you cover those 3 components, then you qualify. If you serve all of those and eggs, or some form of protein, you will not get reimburse for anything you serve in addition. So yes you can serve eggs or sausage for breakfast, you just won't get any $$$$ to help cover the cost of the additional food. |
Also, if you would like, you can always ask if you can switch your am snack and breakfast.
THis is what I do. This way, we have a huge breakfast, then a small snack |
and do not write down sausage because even it you do not reimbursed for it it will count against you for how many times you server high sodium foods like hotdogs
