For me it is a pleasure to cook for my two boys. specially this morning, I woke up very ealy around 5:30 am. and though of making pancakes but I usually make them with the flour that is ready , this time I run out of it, so , I got up and search the web (of course on Mylot) and I found I good recipe for pancakes , and it turned out to be really good and easy. Here is the recepy: 1 and a half cup of all purpose flour, 1 tablespoon of sugar, 1 tablespoon of baking powder,1 teaspoon of salt,1 1/4 to 1 1/2 cup of milk,1 egg,3 tablespoons of melted butter or vegetable oil and 1 teaspoon of vanilla. Now you just sift the flour, the sugar with the baking powder and the salt, (thats important to make them soft) now put together all the ingredients and mix them well , next, put them in the refrigerator for 30 minutes or 15 minutes , I just let them for 15 minutes it was ok, dont mix it again , just warm up the pot and put little butter and put some of the mix spread it around , when it has little holes its time to turn it over. if u want them thiner You just add milk. My kids really enjoy them with some jelly and yogurt. Nowadays , not too many moms get up and cook breakfast for their kids, world has turned more practical, but , I guess sometimes we can cook something for our family with lots of love . Enjoy the recipe and have a happy day with mylot.

hi safety!
it's good that you had time to cook for your kids!
when i was in preschool and elementary my mom would cook us breakfast but when we were in high school and college she left the responsibility to us cause we are grown up and must be responsible for ourselves!
wow! your pancakes must have tasted good since that was made out of love!
good day safety!

Yes , I dont work so I have the time and I am not lazy , I feel more lazy to go out too early to buy breakfast , In here the mayority of people like to buy it , it seems so easy for them and less complicate. As Your mom I am teaching my kids to get their responsabilities too sometimes they help me to make cookies or pizza , they still very small , little by little they will learn. Thanks for commenting , Have a great one.

I am not married and I don't have kids but when the times comes I do want to be the kind of mom to get up and make breakfast. Just, breakfast, because I am not so good at cooking complicated things and now it's my boyfriend who cooks pretty much everything we eat.
I live in the Philippines and the usual breakfast food here is fried rice and fried things like dried fish, hotdogs, sausages, and others. I do like pancakes but most of the time I just buy the boxed, ready to mix kind in the supermarket. I suppose homemade is still the best.

I do cook from time to time, but let's just say I don't have much interest in it, as of now. Maybe when I have kids my attitude about cooking will change. When I lived alone I ate out all the time and didn't even have a stove. But now the boyfriend cooks healthy meals and I guess I should try to learn from him.

Good , that You think like that , but, even You are still single You can practice cooking if u like it , I can t cook very well but I keep looking for recipes in internet , so that s a big help for me. I just follow all the steps. When I was single I lived alone so , I have the oportunity to learn by cooking, no because I liked it but , because I had to. Thanks for your comment , have a great day.

I don't usually good breakfast for my kids. During the week there just isn't enough time. They have to get up at 7 am and get the bus at 7:50. On the weekends we usually my breakfast. Especially on Sundays. Sunday is the only morning we are all home together so we make a big breakfast. There are usually left overs for a morning or two during the week for the kids.

When my kids were little, they always had a "made from scratch" breakfast. I used to love (prob as much as they loved my doing it) making them breakfast ...our favorite was cream of wheat or oatmeal.. I'd mix it up and then use food color to make it a fun color, add things like sprinkles, choco chips, mini marshmallows, etc and a candle! Fun way to start the day! I was never good at doing pancakes, but waffles were common.
Now, for myself... I cook up sausage patties, bake some biscuits, and make sausage sammies....small piece of cheese on each side of the biscuit, salsa, sausage pattie and perfect breakfast sandwich! I make about 20 and then freeze them individually. Then...wrap in napkin, 40 seconds in the nuker and got it going!

I like to cook and it's really an amazing experience for every girl.Plus,i think it's more convenient and healthy to make meals by myself.I enjoy my piece of work and enjoy eating such delicious food.It's a pleasure to make breakfast to people i love,but sometimes when i'm in a hurry to go to work,i have to buy the meal outside.Have a nice day.lol

Although buying the breakfast or eating outside is much more convenient. However, I pay attention to the nutrition and I hope my son will have a good breakfast since it is one of the most important meals in a day. So every morning I will wake up early and prepare for the breakfast. And I will not make the same breakfast everyday, I will often change it. Such as today we have noodles, then tomorrow we will have bread, the the day after tomorrow will be cake etc. I want to be a good mom:)
I love China

Breakfast during the week in our house is fresh natural yougurt with fresh puree fruit, a selection of cearl and toast with jam. And a mug of milk.
Weekends we tend to have white toast with jam as during the week only brown bread is on offer. Or bagels, pancakes and sometimes we have egg, depends what people would like and what the plans are for the weekend.
I always enjoyed making breakfast for my children. It was a favorite morning ritual. Even though my children are teenagers now i still like to make breakfast for them.

When our child was just a kid, we were on our own house . She has a nanny who cooks the breakfast in the morning, as per my instruction the nigh before. I see to it that she always have a hearty and delicious breakfast because i know she needs the energy.
But now that she's a lady and she's in a far city studying we transferred to our inlaws, and breakfast consists of just oatmeal, bread with spreads of your choice and drinks of your choice. That's because , nobody will be cooking the breakfast that early, when my husband and i reports to our respective jobs.

I enjoy cooking breakfast for my kiddos in the morning. Poor babies have to catch the bus at 6:10 so I always try to do something warm and filling to help them make it to lunch time. Sometimes, I cook breakfast burritos and they love them. They are warm and filled with love and goodies! I have to get up extra early to make sure I can get them dressed and fed in time for school.
