Breakfast On The Go

Fall is here, school days are back and so are early morning routines. Sometimes, this can create some anxiety for our kids but also for the parents as lunches need to be packed, forms need to be filled out, drop off and pick up’s needs to be coordinated, and a healthy breakfast created to start the day. Because we are often rushing in the mornings, breakfast can be a challenging meal and this is why I have decided to make this blog about BREAKFAST; one of the most important meals of the day. Breakfast can be fast and healthy especially if it can be created the night before.

Here are some Great Breakfast ideas:
