Choose two or three of these kid-friendly ideas for a delicious, mess-free breakfast buffet!
- Cereal is a quick and easy way to curb hunger and satisfy a young child’s sweet tooth. To keep everyone happy, pick up multi-packs of single-serve size cereals (base it on the number of guests you’ll have). That way, everyone can choose their favorites and you can control the portion and cleanup.
- Hardboiled eggs are another smart, mess-free way to give everyone a little protein with their breakfast. Plus, they can be cooked in advance and require no messy pans to clean up afterwards.
- A crisp delicious fruit salad will round out their breakfast nicely. The day or night before, cut up a variety of seasonal fruits (for summer, try apple, strawberries, blueberries and pineapple) and mix with a bit of lemon juice, water, sugar and/or a touch of honey to keep it all fresh for the next morning.
- A yogurt bar is a super-fun way to give kids lots of healthy choices at once. Buy large containers of plain vanilla yogurt. Then, set out toppings such as cut-up fruit (from your prepared fruit salad), granola, almonds or any other toppings you already have at home so the kids can build their own yogurt parfait.
- Bagels and cream cheese are often a weekend staple in so many homes. If your kids love them, run out in the morning and pick up a dozen or so. Be sure to have a few topping choices such as cream cheese, peanut butter, jelly and regular butter.
