As a momma to six kiddos, every Tuesday I am sharing my tips, recipes and anecdotes related to bringing out every kid’s culinary potential.
Last week, I began my fifth year as the Seminary teacher for a wonderful group of high school students. Â They come to class every school day morning, at a bright and early 6:00 am to be instructed and grow their religious education. Â As their teacher, I am continually amazed at their faith, dedication and commitment to what they believe. Â It is an honor to be their teacher.After class is over each morning, I have to resume my regular role of Mom and rush to get my kids out the door in 30 minutes. Â To say it is a crazy and hectic half hour would be quite the understatement. Â It is mayhem.
One of the biggest stress inducers is what the kids are going to eat for breakfast because most mornings, they are on their own while I am packing lunches, styling hair, signing daily assignments and getting little ones dressed. Â Cold cereal is easy, but it isn’t my favorite as a Mom. Â Not only is it mega expensive, it usually isn’t the healthiest option out there either. Â That is when amazingly simple breakfast options like these Scrambled Eggs in a Mug save the day! Â Not only can my kids make it for themselves, it takes less than a couple minutes from start to finish!
Spray a coffee mug with nonstick spray and add the eggs, milk, salt and pepper. Use a fork to mix together until combined. Microwave on high for 45 seconds, then mix well again with the fork. Return to the microwave for another 30 seconds to finish cooking. **Microwave times will vary depending on the strength of your microwave.

This is in regards to your wonderful sounding recipe for carrot and zucchini with cream cheese frosting. Should I try and remove the liquid from the zucchini before incorporating it into the mixture> I can’t wait to make this sounds delicious.. Thank you.

Fran – do not remove the liquid from the zucchini first. You need that moisture to make the cake nice and moist -Carole
