The kindergarten classes at Ryan's school had alphabet breakfasts this morning. Ryan picked out the letter "W", so we brought mini waffles. Luckily we live close to the school so we could toast them 5 minutes before the breakfast and they were still warm.

Ryan
chose
his
food:
grapes;
waffles;
rasp-
berries;
pine-
apple;
a lolli-
pop!

There
were
some
rather
unique
ideas
for 'breakfast foods' brought to class...I'll try to remember what was there...

A - apple cinnamon muffins
B - banana bread
C - cantaloupe
D - donuts
E - --
F - fruit salad
G - grapes
H - ham quiche
I - iced tea
J - Jaylin's Jacks (Apple
Jacks cereal with a kid's
name pasted over 'Apple')


K - --
L - Lucky Charms
M - milk
N - NutriGrain bars
O - lollipops (they're round??)
P - pineapple
Q - quiche
R - raspberries
S - strawberry yogurt
T - Triscuits
U - (pineapple) upsidedown cake
V - V8 Splash juice
W - waffles
X - --
Y - yogurt

When we chose waffles to bring, we decided to an exercise with the kids listing all vegan foods we could bring for each letter. Here's our list for an imaginary kid-friendly vegan alphabet breakfast:

A - apples.
B - bananas; bagels; blueberries.
C - cantaloupe; cream cheez (for bagels).
