What's For Breakfast? Kids Choice!

I like to think we have taught our children the importance of eating healthy. So once a week we let them choose our meals for the day. Yes, sometimes they need a little guidance and some days they choose things I wouldn't have thought to put together.
Usually when it's their day to choose breakfast they usually say pancakes, eggs, bacon, sausage, and toast 👀 I was really surprised this morning when they said eggs, maple sausage, and bananas! Our children(ages 10 & 4) help cook most of our meals so I asked how I was cooking the eggs. I was thinking scrambled or dippy eggs but what they said was "make the sausage then make scrambled eggs DON'T wash the pan!". This goes to show that even tho they act like they aren't listening they really are.
