School mornings in our house are not your typical weekday mornings. My 17 year old son's start time to his day is considerably earlier than when my youngest needs to be up for preschool. And while I sometimes get up with him in the mornings, he is usually on his own to grab a quick breakfast and head down to catch the bus to school each day. Since we all have staggered start times to our days, finding hot breakfast solutions that can work for both my kiddos during the school week can be challenging.

Thus, I am always on the look out for convenient breakfast ideas that both my teenage son and my preschool daughter can agree on and that I can get on the breakfast table quickly with little fuss. Not only do these breakfasts need to be quick and easy, they also need to be hearty and filling to fuel my both of my kids on through to lunch. That is why I was practically jumping for joy when I discovered these protein-packed Jimmy Dean® Sausage Bowls, Jimmy Dean® Sausage, Egg and Cheese Croissants, and Jimmy Dean® Sausage, Egg and Cheese Biscuits at my local Walmart last week... :)

With the summer ending and back to school almost here, I think we are all in the in-between place where we are excited for a new school year, but not yet quite ready to let go of summer break. So, I am on a mission to gently transition us all from summer mode to back to school mode. One easy and tasty way to do that? With the breakfasts and snacks that we enjoy like these easy to make and fresh Rice Krispies Melon Bowls! :)

These delicious melon bowls are filled with vanilla yogurt, our favorite fresh fruits, and the snap, crackle, and pop of Rice Krispies. Not only do I love that the "bowls" are edible themselves, but each member of the family can customize their melon bowls with their favorite fruits and toppings and the Rice Krispies cereal that we all love. Just set out bowls of fresh blueberries, sweet sliced strawberries, crunchy almonds, banana slices, and any other tasty toppings you would like, and let the kiddos go crazy creating their very own Rice Krispies Melon Bowls...

As the mother to a teenage son, I am always look for tasty, filling breakfasts that...
A. He can easily make on his own
B. Can be made very quickly
C. He can take on-the-go.
I mean, he is the typical teenage boy- he gets up at the latest time that he possibly can get by with.  
Which often means, he will choose to skip breakfast or make some not so healthy choices because he can grab it and go as he is sprinting out the door to catch the bus...
