Father’s Day Breakfast in Bed

Father’s Day breakfast in bed for Rob has been a tradition in our house ever since our son Tim was born. Somewhere along the way, Tim arranged it so that he gets breakfast in bed too! Now that he’s older, Tim is in charge of making the breakfast– then hops into bed next to Rob while I serve. If you’re looking for a kid-fixable breakfast (with a little help from Mom), have your youngster try one of these to honor Dad:

 

  • Yogurt Face: Spoon yogurt on a plate and form into circle. Decorate to match Dad’s features, using granola for hair and eyebrows, banana tip for a nose, blueberries for eyes and apple slices for a mouth and ears.
  • Awesome Oatmeal:  Stir dried cherries and walnuts into plain oatmeal and sprinkle with brown sugar. Serve with a pitcher of warm non-fat milk.
  • Super Shake: Whirl together frozen fruit, low-fat yogurt, a banana, and a splash of OJ in a blender.
  • Wake-Me-Up Waffles: Toast whole-grain frozen waffles. Top with warm fruit compote: in a saucepan, combine blueberries with a sprinkle of sugar and a few tablespoons of water. Heat until fruit softens and syrup thickens.
  • Love-You Eggs: Using a heart-shaped cookie-cutter, cut out the center of a slice of buttered whole-grain bread. Place in hot skillet, cracking egg into heart center and cook until whites are firm. Flip and allow eggs to finish cooking.
