This is a fun way to sneak some veggies into your family's diet! You can't even taste the sweet potato. These are good. I did add 1/2 tsp of vanilla and increased the cinnamon to 1/4 tsp. As a side note, sweet potato puree is easy to prepare in advance and freeze. Just broil a bunch of them and then puree in a food processor and package in 1/4 cup increments in a ziptop freezer bag. To thaw just place in a bowl of warm water for about 5 minutes. Get the recipe here >> Sweet Potato Toast: 3 Ways @ littlebitsof.com

It definitely tastes like dessert.  Warm, crispy and sweet – but you can serve this for breakfast!  It is perfect for those on the go mornings.  Just wrap in foil to keep warm and send it with your kids! You can also put some cute and fun toothpicks! Because bananas have healthy carbs, it is a great food to feed your kids for breakfast before school mornings so they will have plenty of energy at school. Kids brains need glucose to help them focus and learn at school, and we love that bananas help provide that for them! We love making this recipe with our kids, because it is a perfect way to get them into the kitchen with a recipe that is simple and doesn’t have very many steps. And for your older kids, this is a good one for them to practice ‘griddle skills’.  Sometimes it is hard for kids to flip pancakes, or eggs in a griddle. Since these stay together nicely, it is a good food to practice your flipping skills. Get the recipe here >> Banana Cheesecake Rollups...

Today was one of those days and I decided to whip these up for breakfast. I wasn’t able to get my rectangle of dough to 16×23 (perhaps because I don’t have a rolling pin and had woken up super early so I was impatient) and I’m not great with a knife so I ended up with 8 enormous rolls. I cooked them for an extra 10 mins or so and was amazingly pleased with how they turned out – no high altitude alterations needed! They were a huge hit with my boyfriend & friends and didn’t last long! Recipe >> Apple Pie Cinnamon Rolls @ thehopelesshousewife.com
