Gadget Tree: Breakfast of Champions

March9

We can all agree that breakfast is the most important meal of the day…. Yes?

But how many times do you skip it… or worse, feed your kids something less than healthy and send them off to school?

My good friends at Lékué have solved your problem with a couple of products that I know will become part of your early morning repertoire.

These three items are made with 100% pure platinum silicone (the same thing used to make baby bottle nipples) and are completely dishwasher safe (always a plus in my book). You can find them at Sur la Table.

Get your protein fix with the Ovo egg cooker (now in fun shapes like the heart in the image above). What’s great about this cooking gadget is that you can make eggs in the microwave or cooked in a pot on top of the stove. Rub the inside of the egg cooker with a little butter or olive oil, beat the eggs, throw in some cheese, a little seasoning or leftover veggies and in few minutes you’ve got breakfast. Or lunch. Or dinner. This is a terrific way to get kids to eat eggs!

OMaker

Here’s another egg-making idea: a non-stick omelet maker that you pop into the microwave. Just three easy steps and in five minutes you’ll have a beautiful, fat-free fluffy omelet that looks like an omelet not scrambled eggs. This little handy-dandy device is something the older kids will want to use to whip up a quick after-school snack.

Wafflemode

Making waffles is usually relegated to the weekends… or you’re forced to settle for eating those cardboard-tasting frozen waffles. Forget it. With these oven waffle molds, you can prepare eight waffles in the oven so you don’t have to drag out your electric waffle maker.

Hey, here’s an idea! Why not make a waffle egg-sandwich? Now THAT’s a breakfast of champions!
