Many people skip breakfast, some opt forBreadEggsPastriesMilkSnacks instead, many children substitute breakfast with snacks...
Before having kids, I was also lazy to get up early and cook in the kitchen, often bringing ready-made food for my husband.PastriesAt work, although he sometimes complained that those foods were only a temporary fix.Especially for Chinese stomachs, they are not used to having sweet breakfasts; feeling that sweets can only beSnacks, never as main meals.
After my son started kindergarten and moved back home, I immediately became more conscientious. Every morning, I got up early, prepared breakfast with zeal.It must be a hot meal to satisfy the stomach in the morning; otherwise, it feels uneasy all day.So motherhood is innate; not just a title but also a responsibility.Actually, eating some pastries and milk for breakfast is convenient and saves effort. Still, I believe that waking up early to warm the body inside out is essential.
My husband and child are high-energy consumers, so their breakfast should be well-prepared too.
Four elements of a nutritious breakfast: grains, meat, dairy (or soy), and vegetables.
Every household has different eating habits; there's no need for the housewife to follow popular trends. What suits your family is most important.I prepare my son's separate meal as his unique portion allows me to track what he eats and how much.
Often sharing breakfasts on Weibo, addressing common questions.
When do you start preparing breakfast?
I enter the kitchen around 05:45 every day. To ensure freshness and nutrition, I often prepare ingredients like vegetables and dough the previous night.BunsFor dishes that need to be made fresh in the morning, such as buns, I slice and mix them just before cooking.
Are my kids actually eating all of this?
It's not about quantity but variety. Main courses must be finished, while fruits are merely for a taste.As a mother, I know their appetites well; that is how much I prepare.
Why does milk appear so often?
Our fresh milk delivery arrives daily. Without milk on the breakfast table, it's because there was no delivery that day.
Is all this work exhausting?
Actually, I enjoy the process. Sleeping in doesn't help me; instead, waking up early keeps my mind sharp.So, I prefer toRise
earlier and prepare breakfast slowly. Stretching exercises are included. When I set a full table for them, it gives me a sense of accomplishment.
Note that I am still learning; there is room for improvement in meal pairings and methods. Feedback is welcome.
