Waking up from sleep every morning to prepare breakfast for the family could sometimes be very demanding especially for some working class parents even though many agree that breakfast is " the most important meal of the day".
In most cases the kids have to get ready for school while their parents get ready for work and so breakfast in many households becomes an eat- it when-the-time-permits affair.
In order to prepare nutritious breakfasts and better manage the already overly loaded mornings I sometimes:
*Set breakfast items on the table the night before.
*Place the fruit basket and get the orange squeezer set (when am not serving juice bought from the grocery shop)
*Draw up the breakfast menu for the week/month( to include items like Quaker oats, custard, bread, tea, eggs, fruit juice, milk, cheese ,whole grain cereals, yogurt e.t.c. )
*Prepare 2minutes breakfast options like oats /custard or serve ready to eat breakfast cereals on very busy mornings.
My family enjoys custard served with milk, sugar or honey.Often I serve a glass of orange juice alongside the bowl of custard. Yummy! Vitamin C , D as well as calcium are therefore derived from this quick home-made breakfast option.
- 1/2 cup of water (bring to boil)
- 1/2 cup of normal temperature water(to mix custard powder)
- 3 table spoon full of custard powder(corn starch)
- 3 cubes of sugar or 2 tablespoon honey
- 1/2 cup milk
Mix the cornstarch with the water till its smooth. Pour into the boiled water while stirring for 2minutes .Remove serve, add milk, sugar or honey.
