Eat Incredible!

If you want your family to be incredible, they need to eat incredible - starting at breakfast. "Research shows that there are important cognitive benefits of eating breakfast, especially for children," said Bridget Swinney, Registered Dietitian, Baby Bites author and mother of two. "For 70 calories and 14 cents apiece, eggs are a great choice for breakfast because the high-quality protein in eggs provides steady and sustained energy, helping kids and adults be incredible all day long."

Swinney recommends feeding your family a high-quality protein breakfast, like eggs, since they're affordable, easy-to-prepare and a great way to start the day off right. Try these recipes:

• Spinach, Ham and Cheese Omelet ($1.20/serving)
• Coffee Cup Scramble ($0.45/serving)
