Why A Homemade Breakfast?
Do share these recipes with friends and family. Yes, it may be easier to grab a donut and coffee from a drive-through, but making your own breakfast is definitely healthier. And as shared in my 5 Principles To Help You Stay Out Of Debt post, you will save so much, in the long run.
The more families we encourage to go back to cooking at home, the better.
Involve the kids in your breakfast planning for the week and assign each child, in turn, to help you make breakfast.
Besides helping them develop an important life skill, you’re also helping cultivate a lifelong habit of making breakfast an important meal of the day.
Years from now, you will see what you sow today being reaped in their respective families.
I’m sure you will have them asking you for all a copy of all their favorite 20 minute breakfast recipes!
