Martin & Sylvia’s Best Breakfasts Cookbook: 25 Kid-Friendly Breakfast Recipes

Have you ever noticed how Martin and Sylvia’s Momma and Daddy are always making something yummy in the mornings? If you’re a regular listener, you’ll know that breakfast is a big meal in their tall house with lots of windows. Over the years, we’ve posted many of these delicious breakfast recipes on the blog- and after several listener requests, we decided it was time to gather and share some of our favorites- in a form that you can share as well. Just in time for the holidays, we bring you a free printable- Martin & Sylvia’s Best Breakfast Cookbook!

We’ve compiled a cookbook of twenty-five of their favorite breakfasts so you can start your mornings together with them. From eggs-in-a-poke to Martin’s favorite granola, you’ll find a little something for all taste buds. We’ve listed the story along with the recipe, should you want to take a listen and then do some family cooking.

Each of these recipes is not only delicious and fun, but easy to follow and kid-friendly for those little kitchen helpers to join in on the magic!
