"Hi Lisa, I simply eat leftovers from the night before. May sound strange but in the Philippines, breakfast is the heaviest meal of the day. It gives me enough energy to get thru the morning and I'm not hungry until way past lunch. I almost…"

"My quick breakfast is half a cup of raw large flake oatmeal, half a cup of yogurt and half a banana chopped over it, or berries, or apple chunks from the apple sliced for the children, or... whatever fruit you prefer. It's pretty basic, natural…"

"Whole Fruit Smoothies! Mix a frozen banana, a handful of strawberries, a chopped apple, and a few ice cubes in a blender. If you are feeling especially healthy, you can add a small handful of baby spinach to make a green smoothie. You cannot taste…"

"Here's a recipe I have in my staff, but haven't tried yet. It's from FamilyFun Super Snacks. Cherry Tomato & Cucumber Bites 1 8 oz package cream cheese, softened ¼ cup basil leaves, finely chopped 1 clove garlic,…"

"This is a little contrary to the rest of the ideas suggested, but have you thought about using a carrier (like an Ergo) so that you can carry her on your back while you do some simple cleaning & cooking? It's not ideal but makes for a much…"

"I use a trick I read somewhere and have loved. When burping my son, I sit him on my lap, leaning into my hand placed on his belly. The book I read said this extra pressure from the front help encourage the burp to come out. I don't know if…"
