We all know that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and really does help kids learn. That means that it is imperative that your family starts off every day with a balanced breakfast. During the week, there may be limited time to make the best breakfast that’s healthy and delicious, so take more time this weekend to incorporate seasonal “brain foods” into your morning meal. Plus, kids can help in the kitchen to gain valuable skills and some math practice while they measure ingredients! Here are Learning Liftoff’s editors’ picks for the top snacks, crafts, and other fun activities for this weekend, October 17-19.
The nutrients in pumpkin are really world-class, making it a known super food. Make sure it’s part of your diet this season, along with other super foods, and try out a savory pumpkin quiche.

An apple a day is perhaps one of the most delicious prescriptions ever made because apples are a powerful source of antioxidants, as well as good source of fiber, and potassium. With such great qualities, there’s no doubting this fruit is a super food. Get your daily dose of apples in these apple pancakes.
