Got Milk? for Breakfast! It’s National Dairy Month

June is National Dairy Month so we are encouraging you to consume your dairy at breakfast time.

I’m sure you know that all foods in the Dairy group contain calcium which is needed for building and maintaining strong bones and teeth. But did you know, that calcium is also important for regulating blood pressure and for the nervous system?

The Dairy Group includes milk, yogurt, cheese, and fortified soymilk. They provide calcium, vitamin D, potassium, protein, and other nutrients needed for good health throughout life. Choices should be low-fat or fat-free—to cut calories and saturated fat.

How much dairy is needed?

Older children, teens, and adults need 3 cups a day
Children 4 to 8 years old need 2½ cups a day
Children 2 to 3 years old need 2 cups a day

What counts as a cup of dairy?

1 cup of milk, yogurt, or soy beverage
1½ ounces of natural cheese
2 ounces of processed cheese

Eggstravaganza for National Egg Month

EGGS, EGGS, EGGS

We have an eggcellent selection of egg recipes for your breakfast, brunch, or breakfast for dinner. We are celebrating National Egg Month at Family Breakfast Recipes.

We reached out to some other foodies and asked them to share their favorites. We got so many good recipes for eggs prepared so many different ways.

Scrambled Eggs

Laura from Day by Day in Our World shared her Veggie Lover Egg Scramble. With only a few ingredients, you can have a complete meal in one pan for any time of day.

Our own recipe for Easy Egg and Avocado Breakfast Burrito starts with scrambled eggs and is easy to carry out the door if you are in a rush.

Boiled Eggs

Boiling eggs is essential for any cook but Annie at Dinner Planner shares how to boil eggs for different lengths of time to satisfy anyone’s preferences.

The form you have selected does not exist.

And for something really different you might like to try Coconut Curried Eggs from That Recipe. You start with boiled eggs for this Indian recipe.

Frittata

A frittata is an egg dish started on the stove and finished in the oven so you can get the table set and not have to stir the eggs until cooked through.

The Zesty Olive provided us with a recipe for Spinach, Tomato, and Feta Cheese Frittata for one person which comes in so handy at times. This frittata recipe doesn’t even start on the stove. Just pop it in the oven for an easy meal.

Quiche

You may be more familiar with a quiche and we have two to share.

Bacon Cheddar Quiche from Greta’s Day starts with a pie crust which is the traditional quiche. Greta raises her own chickens and uses her fresh eggs.

The Crowd Pleasing Hashbrown Quiche from Day by Day in Our World has a hashbrown/shredded potato base. It really fills up Laura’s boys.

MakeAhead Egg Recipes

Egg Salad is like pimento cheese in that there are so many ways to make it. Try this Egg Salad with Olives and Celery from Zesty Olive for a new twist on an old classic.

How often is breakfast rushed? Almost always?

So for those days that you can’t cook, plan ahead and fix these Asiago and Bacon Egg Muffins from Rural Mom the night before and reheat or make them on the weekend for the week ahead.

All of these egg recipes can be adapted to suit your family’s preferences. If you don’t want meat, leave it out. If you do want meat, add more. The same for vegetables. Switch up and use different vegetables and see which are your favorites.

Eggs are so versatile and so good! Enjoy having your own Eggstravaganza!

Happy National Egg Month.

There are no hard and fast rules about what has to be on a brunch menu. Think about the foods your family likes to eat and create your menu around those items.

Ask your family what they would like to see on the Easter brunch menu. Chances are they’ll come up with foods you hadn’t even thought about serving. When you incorporate our ideas and their suggestions, meal time becomes treasured family time!
