Mom’s Breakfast Club: Mmm, Special
This is sponsored content by BlogHer and Kelloggs.
We have some “special-special” traditions for various mornings during the year. You know, more than just “gee, eggs would be nice this morning.” These are more breakfasts that accompany holidays or other special days during the year.
- Birthdays – A big stack of pancakes with candles. What’s better than starting out your birthday with pancakes, sometimes rainbow if I’m feeling inventive, homemade maple syrup and candles? Nothing. Nothing at all.
- Halloween – We have orange pancakes with chocolate chips (for “spiders baked in”). This year, however, we’re trying pumpkin pancakes. Mmm.
- St. Patrick’s Day – Obviously green pancakes.Are you catching our theme?
- Christmas – This one will be hard this year. Normally, we have a big eggs, toast, bacon and juice meal with my grandparents, prepared by my grandfather. This year will be our first Christmas without him, and I really don’t imagine we’ll make it through the morning without tears.
- And sometimes on Mother’s Day and Father’s Day, respectively, we do a fun kids-help-serve-the-honoree morning where that person gets to choose. Super fun.

Banana pancakes are our special breakfast food.
I feel like a total loser because we don’t have a set breakfast tradition. We love orange rolls on special mornings, or migas, which are always so good. Sometimes a big old eggs, potatoes, sausage breakfast is pretty rockin’, too.
We have pecan pancakes or waffles

We make pancakes on the weekends.
We dont’ have special morning events. We like to have a big breakfast at Christmas instead of the lunch/dinner; however, that is the only special event I can think of. I’m off to plan some special breakfasts soon!
We have french toast or pancakes on Saturdays when we are in no rush to get out of the house.
Our ritual consists of me cooking breakfast every morning. Scrambled eggs, sometimes waffles, crepes, french toast, or oatmeal. Then I help the kiddos get ready! On holidays we always make a little something holiday related for breakfast, like Boo-Berry Muffins!

We don’t have any holiday breakfast traditions since we usually have to be at a family gathering and have a tight schedule. We enjoy a more relaxed breakfast on Saturdays with french toast, cheese grits, or scrambled eggs

Father and Mother’s Day normally brings breakfast in bed. Christmas morning is cinnamon rolls and once I had an ice cream cake for breakfast on my birthday!
For Christmas breakfast my favorite was always donuts and/or cinnamon buns.

We really dont do special breakfasts on holidays other than Christmas, but we do the whole green eggs in ham and “Lucky” the Leprachaun visits and puts green coloring in our milk, and have green pancakes too! Halloween weekend we always go out to celebrate my bday since it is the day after…and we always go out for brunch cuz that is my FAVE! Easter is a DASH to go to church so no big breakfast. CHRISTMAS is our biggie!
After gift opening on Christmas morning, we make heart shaped waffles with strawberries and whipped cream, baked omelets, sweet rolls, and breakfast meats. then we dive into the homemade holiday treat trays! the kids love to help with the waffles! Then we watch movies all day and forage off the candy trays!
thanks so much!
