Breakfast Dog

This is a super good, super easy recipe that works well for daycare kids regardless of age and also works well for kids who need to eat before taking off to school.

breakfast dog

  • Hot dog bun
  • Creamy peanut butter
  • Strawberry jam
  • Banana, sliced into quarters lengthwise

Spread a thin layer of peanut and jam onto the hotdog bun. Place a quartered banana into the bun. Cut into appropriate sections for each child.

For smaller children, cut off a small section and squish it down to make for easier handling.




Pumpkin Bread

One of the little boys in my daycare kept begging me to make pumpkin bread. When I finally did, it was a big hit with all the kids!

pumpkin bread

  • 3 cups flour
  • 1 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 3 cups sugar
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) softened butter
  • 3 eggs
  • 1-16 oz can of pumpkin

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare two bread pans by spraying with cooking spray.

Put all ingredients in a large bowl and mix well with an electric mixer. Divide the batter between the two prepared bread pans. Bake for one hour or until an inserted knife comes out clean.

My kids liked this bread better after it was cooled rather than warm out of the oven.
