It seems as if school just let out, and here we are in back-to-school mode. The excitement of new teachers, classes, and connecting with friends. As we start to settle into our school routine, we need to remember that breakfast is a huge part of a successful school day. The word breakfast means to \u201cbreak your fast\u201d, and fasting is when you do not eat for a certain period of time. Your body needs the calories from the food you eat to help you concentrate and give you more energy. While you sleep, the body is still working, and when you wake up, it\u2019s time to recharge with a hearty breakfast. Below are a few great breakfast choices from our <a href=\"https:\/\/extension.umaine.edu\/food-health\/efnep\/recipe-video-series\/\">Mainely Dish Video<\/a> series (<a href=\"https:\/\/extension.umaine.edu\/food-health\/efnep\/recipe-video-series\/#baked-oatmeal\">Baked Oatmeal<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/extension.umaine.edu\/food-health\/efnep\/recipe-video-series\/#egg-bites\">Egg Bites<\/a>, and the <a href=\"https:\/\/extension.umaine.edu\/food-health\/efnep\/recipe-video-series\/#brunching-burrito\">Brunching Burrito<\/a>).
