This is a Compensated post with my own opinions and experiences.
Hungry Jack sent me some really great new waffle flavors. This included the Pumpkin Spice waffle mix and the Cinnamon Spice waffle mix. Both are really great for morning waffles. In fact, we had a slumber party a month ago and that morning we all sat at the table together eating Hungry Jack Belgium waffles. It was delicious. Not only are waffles delicious, but the mix is also great to get creative with and Hungry Jack has some really great ideas.

Eating a meal together as a family is so important. And if you’re able to do more than one that’s amazing. We almost always have dinner together, or at least with one parent. Sometimes my husband has to work late and sometimes I’m out of town, but one of us always tries to sit down with them. It’s even better when we start our day together having breakfast at the table. So I wanted to suggest three ways to get together as a family in the morning.
3 Simple Ways To Bring Back Breakfast:
- Have something quick and easy ready!
No one has extra time in the mornings so by making something that’s already ready or very quick and easy to throw together allows for everyone to have that extra time together at the table. We like to freeze any leftover waffles or pancakes we have and then they go in the toaster for a quick and tasty breakfast. Also, the bars above would make a fantastic breakfast.
- Get the kids involved
I know it can be difficult to let the kids get involved but when they are involved then it’s easier to all be ready at the table at the same time. Have your kids pour the milk or juice. Let them set the table, just let them find a way to help.
- Make it a routine Be Diligent!
It takes about two weeks for anything to become a routine but with practice and scheduling you can do it and family time is worth the time it takes. You have to plan and be diligent.

The truth is we don’t eat breakfast together if we eat it in the house. Dinner yes, but we all eat breakfast at different times, and we are only togerh for it on the weekends. But my son does love Hungry Jack pancakes!
we always gather together to start our day
a nice warm pot of coffee and a good smelling breakfast!!
We can only have breakfast together a couple times a week when everyone is off work. Then we oftentimes go out to eat so we can take the time to slow down and sit down together. That way we can talk about what is going on in each other’s lives.
We try and have something special on the weekends.
It never happens unfortunately
We are only able to have breakfast together on the weekends so Saturday and Sunday are the days we all cook together.
All I need say is “Pancakes are ready”
if I cook pancakes the family will for sure be at the table!
I go in the kitchen and ask if anyone is hungry. That usually gets their attention.
I try to make pancakes, waffles, or some other treat on the weekends.
