Breakfast...in our house

Breakfast the best way to start the day. In our house like all meals there are many factors to consider. Let's start with Troy. My fiancee that is a devoted Civil Engineer and leaves for work around 7am and won't be home until anytime after 7pm. I love giving my man a few options, eggs, porridge, toast? What would you like today? "Porridge thanks babe". A quick thing to cook for him while he in the shower. Plus I can use the leftover for part of the makings of Hudson's breakfast.
Then there is my breakfast. I'm still breastfeeding and with Hudson being 8 months old, 12kg and 78cm tall I'm always conscious of 2 things. 1)Keeping up my milk supply. 2)Staying healthy and trying to shed a few more kilos. I'm a lover of smoothies, juices or pretty much any complex breakfast drink I can make in the food processor. So keeping in mind I've got the porridge aside for Hudson I then quickly blend up some raspberries and take a bit aside to put with Huddo's porridge. Then with the remainder, add some orange and passionfruit juice, and a teaspoon of Greenfield's SuperGreens powder. Woahhh-laaa. My power drink to start the day and a handful of almonds. The wonder nut of breastmilk.



Then there is the finishing touches to Hudson's breakfast. So I have the carbs and fruit with the porridge and raspberries. Then there is the element of a finger food. So I scramble 2 eggs and mix in a small splash of tomato sauce and cook in the microwave for 2 minutes. Cut into little easy to handle pieces. Hudson's is served....



Now I know that some may think this appears to be alot of food. Not for Hudson....within 25 minutes these bowls looked like this:


Now just for this picture I scraped up the bits of egg that were left on the highchair tray and on the seat and put them in the bowl. Definitely happy with that effort and why I love getting up and planning such nice and different breakfasts everyday.
