Here is something fun to do in the mornings - on the weekend maybe? or before school? Anytime is cooking time!

Having breakfast is important - it's not known as the most important meal of the day for nothing! We know that our digestive system breaks down food into simpler substances. These substances are, as we know, called glucose (yes, the same simple sugar that is produced by plants through photosynthesis). This glucose is needed by the brain to work. If you don't have enough glucose in your body, your body needs to work harder to turn your fats or carbohydrates (nutrients found in yesterday's rice dinner) into fuel for your brain. So you will feel tired and won't learn as well. You might also faint from the hunger.

Here's a simple recipe you can try in the mornings for breakfast. If you have no time in the mornings, you can always cook the night before and heat them up before you go to school. Remember: Always ask an adult to help you during cooking, DO NOT OPERATE THE STOVE ON YOUR OWN.
