My kids are hungry when they wake up. Cereal alone will not suffice. Ever since Eve was little I have made pancakes, waffles, crepes, french toast, oatmeal, and nearly any imaginable combination of eggs and toast for breakfast every day. The problem is I have become increasingly bored with it all. I was really starting to dread breakfast-time.While I was at the farmer's market on Saturday I had an inspiration! I saw the pie pumpkins and thought - Hey, I could make pumpkin pie for breakfast! My mom makes her pie with just honey as a sweetener; coupled with an oil crust, it would be perfect! Pumpkin is very healthy; eggs, milk, honey... all good!
So that's what I have done. I just baked the pumpkin, and then together the kids and I made the pie. Now, all I have to do in the morning is slice them each a piece, or two, and we're good to go. Easy, quick, healthy and they love it!
Pie for breakfast?! Life is good!

We love pumpkin pie....I actually had a pumpkin pie frappacino at Starbucks on Wednesday.....yum!
Apples and pumpkins are two of the reasons I love fall. I never thought about making pie for breakfast. That would certainly make my 15 yr olds day.
Maybe you could post THAT recipe soon.

MMMMMM I love pumpkin pie! We are big pie eaters for breakfast and I often make apple pie and let the kids have it for breakfast. Also yogurt pie goes over well--just stir in fruit with yogurt, freeze and slice in the morning. The kids call it ice cream pie and gobble it up!
