Lately, Alexis absolutely will not eat anything off a spoon or fork. Little miss independent wants to eat with her fingers all by herself. Finding healthy, easy breakfast finger foods have been a challenge. Finally found some she likes!
Cheerios are everywhere in our house. And she knows it. |
Sausages & homemade hash-browns: A little more labor intensive, but delicious. We have sausage from the deer I hunted last fall. I'll throw it in a skillet with some shredded potatoes and viola! Good breakfast.
Fruit: I always make sure we all eat some form of fruit in the mornings. Weather it's diced peaches, bananas, strawberries or a whole pear, it's fresh & finger food friendly!
Eggs: Always room for a good scramble! We like to toss in cheese, fresh peppers, & some hearty greens.
Waffles & Pancakes: One of Trev's favorite things to do is cook breakfast. He's currently perfecting the "mickey mouse" pancake. Super easy to make these packed with goodness. Throw in fruits & dice up some spinich & kale for hidden greens! Love tossing chia seeds in the batter. Spread some home-made strawberry freezer jam (YUM) on top and go! Makes for thick, fluffy & healthy-ish pancakes!
English muffins: Ok, this is my hurry up and go breakfast. I'll toast one (we LOVE the ones with raisins!), put a little cream cheese on it, tear it into bite size pieces and go. Perfect for little fingers and it fills her up fast!

Such a cute little monkey! Tell Trev to cook the pancakes in cookie cutters for the perfect shapes!
