• Breakfast Fare

   
  

  Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, so they say.  But it is also the most difficult to get my boys to eat.  Today, I made something that was a huge hit, so I am sharing the idea here for other moms with similar breakfast challenges.

  Mommy’s Gingerbread

  1/4 c butter
  1 c sugar (I use 2/3c or less)
  1 egg
  1 1/2 c flour
  1/4 t baking soda
  1/2 t cream of tartar
  1/4 t cinnamon
  1/4 t ginger
  1/8 t nutmeg
  1/2 c milk

  Preheat oven to 350.  Cream butter and sugar.  Add egg.  Add dry ingredients and mix well.  Stir in milk.  Bake in greased and floured 13×9 pan for 18-20 minutes.  Sprinkle with powdered sugar.  Cut into cookie cutter shapes (I did stars and gingerbread men) and decorate with raisins.  Serve with a side of homemade applesauce. Voila! A breakfast hit
