Something besides ceral please!

If there's no cereal in the house, no matter how stocked the cabinets are, the kids think there's nothing to eat! Dave and I love Kashi cereal but the kids are not huge fans. Mom's Best makes "kid friendly" all natural cereal but there are only about 8 varieties to choose from at Marc's. I'm constantly trying to come up with a breakfast food that will top cereal as the kids favorite.

English Egg Muffins
Thomas's Hearty Grain Whole Wheat English Muffins - Not all natural, but nothing from the AVOID LIST!
Eggs (you can use just the whites or if making a bigger batch, just use the yolks of half the eggs, this will help cut down the cholesterol content)
paprika, pepper, oregano, flax seed & basil to taste
Skim milk
Shredded Swiss (Shredded Swiss is very low in sodium! Only about 60 mg per serving!)

Mix the egg, milk, and herbs. Lightly spray a pan with canola or olive oil. Make a foil ring the size of the English Muffin and spray the inside with non stick spray. Place the ring in the skillet a slowly pour egg mixture into it. Cover skillet and cook until the egg is cooked most of the way through. Flip, and top with alittle shredded Swiss. Place the egg on a Toasted English Muffin. The eggs stay nicely in the fridge in a tightly sealed container so make extra for quick breakfast through the week!
