Most mornings I wait until the last possible minute to crawl out of bed to start getting C ready for school. I enjoy my sleep but I know that as Mama it's my responsibility to still do what needs to be done for my children. I want my boys to have a great day every day and for me that starts with a good nights sleep the night before and a good breakfast. As a teen and young adult I skipped breakfast a lot. Shame on me, I know. Because of how I was with breakfast I make sure C is off to school with a full belly and ready and raring to get his day going. There is the option of letting him eat breakfast at school but I want to make sure I know what and how much he eats.

He usually likes me to fix him a sausage, egg and cheese biscuit or waffles or pancakes. It takes him a while to get started on eating so the quicker I can get it made and the quicker it is to eat the better off he is. We are Aunt Jemima fans. With the new Aunt Jemima Lil Griddles every batch is made from scratch with real ingredients like milk and eggs. I can feel good knowing that just because it only takes about 40 seconds to heat them up in the microwave doesn't mean that he isn't getting a good for him meal. He likes to stack his mini pancakes. I usually get on to him about it and make him eat them with a fork but sometimes if that's how he wants to do it and he's actually eating then I don't say a word. I pick my battles and him using a fork or his hands isn't always one of them. When syrup is involved it's always a fork though.

If you are rushed for time every morning or even if you have time, the new Aunt Jemima Lil Griddles can help get your morning off to a good start. I know that just because it's frozen and comes from a box that he is still eating a good meal with the Aunt Jemima Lil Griddles. The Lil Griddles line also includes mini blueberry pancakes and french toast sticks. I also saw confetti mini pancakes in the store yesterday.

Do you make time for breakfast? How do you enjoy your pancakes?
