I really try to think about the whole day of food rather than meal by meal for my kids. I want to make sure they get in adequate protein, choline and other nutrients to help them grow and to help them focus at school.
Every morning Jerry and I try to eggs into their breakfast. Yesterday we had Scrambled eggs and Cantaloupe, today we had French Toast and Cantaloupe (Cantaloupe was on sale this week so we will be eating a ton of it). Eggs play a big part in how my kids are able to concentrate and get top test scores at school. Eggs have from 112 to 125g of Choline in them! Unless you are going to eat Beef liver for breakfast or take a stupid supplement you wont find that much choline anywhere most likely(Don't quote me on that hee hee). Choline makes you smart. Seriously. Here, you can read about it. http://www.brainpower.org/research/choline.html I ate so many eggs with my first born and she is brilliant. Topped the OCCT scores this year with almost 100% correct in every area. We do have many brainy people in our family so I know a little of it comes from her genes but I am her mama and I'm not the smartest cookie in the world so I attribute most of her brillantness to EGGS.
Well since we had a high protein breakfast I made sure they got lots of veggies for lunch. Added some plain greek yogurt with ranch spices in it for dip, cantaloupe(again), strawberries and little tiny Wisconsin cheese curds. Plenty of brain food and not much sugar so there won't be a crash after lunch when they need to be concentrating. Dinner will be Turkey Swedish Meatballs over Long Grain Brown Rice and a Spinach and Tomato salad with Honey Balsamic dressing.
