We have three kids who are 10 and under. Their energy throughout the day requires a lot of quality food and good nutrition. We usually start our day with breakfast, then homeschool, and free play. So we make sure that they get the nourishment they need that can help them concentrate on our lessons and make them feel full for a longer period and not ask for snacks every few minutes. Therefore, breakfast has to be healthy and filling.
Why Potato?
Potato is a versatile ingredient and filled with nutrients our family needs. Packed with Vitamin C, Potassium, Vitamin B6, Fiber, and good Carbohydrates, the humble but powerful potato gives us the nutrition and energy we need to perform at our best.
Plus, the prep time for potato-based meals is not complicated nor time-consuming. Perfect for us moms who are always on the go to manage our homes and raise our kids.
Potatoes are also conveniently available. High-quality U.S. potato products are available in the Philippines: fresh potatoes, frozen potatoes, and dehydrated potatoes. I personally like the dehydrated potatoes for easier storage since we live in a small house. U.S. potatoes are available in supermarkets and groceries nationwide. Visit their website for more info and delicious potato recipes.

Healthy Well-being for the Whole Family
Breakfast, they say, is the most important meal of the day. Being able to provide nutritious, home-cooked morning meals for the whole family ensures a better day ahead.
As parents, we look for ways to make our meals at home not just delicious, but healthy, too. Veggies may not be appealing to some kids, but we should keep exposing them to nutritious dishes while they are still young. Through this, we can accomplish our goals for a healthier family in the years to come.
