As a mother, I love offering choices at breakfast time- although the choices are usually oatmeal or cereal, occasionally, I’ll offer toast and eggs. Also, love to incorporate little lessons with our breakfast choices…My big kid spent the last year working on geography..Below is a sampling of his completed pieces:
So, when Crofter’s SuperFruit Spread wanted to send me organic “spreads”, I said yes. Food is always going to be a yes, just remember—I’m just stating an opinion and it’s up to you to make up yours. On to the SuperFruits. Yum. It was fun to make “Asia” toast which was raspberries, yumberries, morello cherries and red grapes along with organic fair trade cane sugar for a spread. 17 calories for 1 tablespoon. Fun, interesting, and a bit tart, but enjoyable. “North America” was not my favorite and it was made up of wild blueberries, cranberries, morello cherries and red grapes. As I sit here and taste again it with my knife, it just has a strange flavor to it. Makes my cheeks suck in like I just ate a tart candy. “South America” is interesting. The ingredients include Maqui & Passion Fruit blended, Morello Cherries and red grapes. Again, incredibly unique flavors that are also tart and mildly sweet. Finally, I have the “Europe” spread that is Black Currants, Pomegrantes, Morello Cherries and Red Grapes. On toast, all the spreads are good. In my regular cottage cheese plus fruit and granola “snack” a teaspoon is plenty. Little bit goes a longggggggggg way!
Having a hard time with adjectives here- wouldn’t say that I loved any one flavor, but they are just a nice change to the usual offerings from the grocery store.

So, what do you think? What do you like on toast or in your cottage cheese? How else do you use fruit spreads?

Those spreads sound interesting but I’m pretty partial to blackberry or blueberry fruit spreads.
As for cottage cheese, we use it as a replacement for mayo and when I eat it out of a bowl, I like to add pepper and hot sauce. On toast? Peanut butter and banana yum
I use fruit spreads on waffles. Waffle, peanut/Almond butter, Greek yogurt, fruit spread and then banana. To die for! LOL

ooh, i bet those would even go well as a base to add other fruits/veggies for a chutney!
hmm, sometimes i do go for jam, but most often it’s pb on toast, fresh fruit and flax or wheat germ in the cottage cheese
