When it comes to breakfast in our home, we always struggle. Dann and I do not really eat breakfast – I am intolerant to eggs and dairy. Neither of us enjoy bread or pastries, there just isn’t a lot of options left. When it comes to our children, Kai hates eggs unless they are in something, nobody is a huge fan of bread, and they cannot really agree on breakfasts that all three of them like. In an attempt to find better breakfasts and encourage trying new food, we spent the summer doing Breakfast Around the World. This meant I researched a bunch of breakfasts for specific countries and made them for the majority of the mornings this summer holiday, so we could all try new breakfasts!
We did have optional “back up” breakfasts – scrambled or fried eggs, or a choice of cereal. We didn’t force our kids to eat food they didn’t want to eat, though we did give each item a good bite to try and then discussed what we did or didn’t like about each food.
