breakfast challenge

In my daily health challenge I was challenged to share a healthy breakfast idea.  It just happens that this weekend Phil and I tried something different and we took a moment to reflect on the evolution of this breakfast food.   I grew up eating normal pancakes out of the box for breakfast, Phil grew up eating hotcakes which are homemade pancakes made with oatmeal and buttermilk.  So out with the old normal pancake and in with the new healthy hotcake. We eat hotcakes with buttermilk, whole grain oats, whole wheat flour, honey, flax seed and the new added ingredient was pumpkin out of the can.  It changed the texture (much softer) and color (a little more orange) but we couldn't even taste the pumpkin.  Either way, it tasted just fine and pumpkin is very good for you so what a great way to get some veggie in the morning!

So, what do you eat for a healthy breakfast?

Next we might make regular oatmeal (which we eat often as well) with pumpkin in it.  Great idea from a friend of mine.
