This is the menu:
Sunday: Cracked Wheat & Fruit
Monday: Oatmeal & Smoothie
Tuesday: Egg & Breakfast Meat & Veggies
Wednesday: Oatmeal & Fruit
Thursday: Egg & Veggies
Friday: Oatmeal & Fruit
Saturday: Pancake Day (hubby has requested that we add breakfast meat & veggies to pancake day, so we'll be incorporating that).
The menu makes mornings so easy, ups the amount of whole grains and veggies we eat, and gives the children one day a week to choose what we eat (on pancake day they choose from crepes, pancakes, German pancakes, waffles, French toast, scones, banana bread, etc. Although we used to call it Children's Choice day and sometimes my son would choose oatmeal; maybe we should go back to that, so they don't associate their choice with something unhealthy all the time.)

I think children's choice is awesome!
also, how do you make cracked wheat? I remember hating it as a kid; and Anthony did too, so we've never tried it with our kids.
We crack our wheat in our grinder. Or you can buy cracked wheat. We cook one cup in four cups of water and serve with fruit and nuts.
