First day of school marks the unofficial end of summer. This only means hello to falling leaves, cozy sweaters to be adorned, cooler weather which signals life to turn indoor and the return of seemingly endless school activities for new and old students.
A call from my husband at 6am this morning prompted me to wake up and prepare my student's breakfast. Thank goodness, a cup of tea perked me up!
Breakfast is necessary because it refuels our bodies after a long period of fasting. What we fuel up on is entirely essential as when.
I presume that all mothers like me know that when children skip breakfast their cognitive function decreases making them incapable to focus in school. Moreover, enjoying healthy breakfast on regular basis provides children a good jumpstart to a very busy school day.

Catering a nutritious breakfast is not a daunting job. There are easy and quick ways to prepare delightful yet healthy breakfast without compromising our time and tight schedule.
Fried rice is surely a big heat to every Filipino family especially when paired with scrambled egg or fried fish. Not only that, it is inexpensive and a great way to make use of our leftover rice. We can also add fresh fruits to our ordinary oatmeal and cereals like fresh blueberry, strawberry and bananas. Whole wheat options, smoothies and breakfast parfait are also enticing breakfast ideas. Involving my daughter in the planning, presentation, preparation process like allowing her to make custom sandwiches and home-made trail mixes makes her meal more feasting.
While school cafeterias offer abundance of youngster's favorites, I prefer my daughter to bring home-cooked meal for lunch and merienda. I always tell her that packed lunch ensures me that she's having the balanced diet and it is always cheaper.
As the familiar adage goes 'breakfast is the most important meal of the day'

One thing I've learned when I was pregnant is that we can always consume our usual portion of cheese, egg, peanut butter, meat, fish, lentils, tofu and nuts. And the foods can be used without measuring throughout the day are as follows: Asparagus, Beans, Bitter Melon, Broccoli, Brussel Sprouts, Cabbage, Cauliflower, Celery, Cucumber, Egg Plant, Greens, Lettuce, Mushrooms, Okra, Onions, Spinach, Sauerkraut, Tomato wedges, and Zucchini. (just thought it's worth sharing for expectant moms!)
Happy first day of school B.C. students!
