In the morning, we are always in a rush and hoping that today I will reach the office at the right time.
Being a mom for years, I had a lot of work in the morning. From packing your lunch, make kids ready for school, prepare them food, etc.
The most time-consuming part is breakfast. Well, 90% of the time I stuck in confusion about what to cook for kids?
Due to lack of time, I very often serve bread, milk to the kids and for me, I just brew some coffee and leave for work.
But kids are stubborn they constantly demand something delicious in taste. If they don't get according to their desire they just leave the plate as it is.
Later, one of my foodie friends suggested some healthy nutritious foods that have a wonderful taste also take very less time to get ready.
In this article, I am suggesting mouth-watering food items to you for a quick breakfast and also some recipes made with them.
