Easy Breakfast Meals



Easy breakfast meals is something you need, if your morning is a crazy time and you want to feed your family the most important meal of the day.



Morning at our house always involves me trying to wake up and get everyone ready for the day. I'm not a morning person so a lot of times we would end up having cereal or instant oatmeal.

This school year I've tried to have a more healthy breakfast and I've implemented the following tips. It really has helped our breakfast time go smoother.
  1. Think and plan what's for breakfast before you go to bed at night.


  2. Even something simple like putting out the pan you are going to use and laying out a recipe, will help ease your morning.


  3. Even if you are doing something quick, like cereal, set out bowls and cereal boxes on the table before you go to bed.


  4. Think of 5 quick or simple breakfast meals that you can rotate through the week. Keep the longer, or recipes with more prep work, for the weekend. Write these 5 meals out on an index card and rotate as you go through them each day. (our 5 are included below.) 


  5. Over the weekend or during a non busy day make a large batch of muffins and freeze. Pull out and warm up at breakfast time. Serve with a fruit smoothie.


  6. Try some freezer breakfast meals. Eggs freeze well so you can make mini egg sandwiches with mini bagels, cooked eggs and a slice of ham. Wrap up and take out of the freezer in the morning and heat.


  7. Scrambled eggs always work well in the morning and you can add vegetables easily.


  8. Serve smoothies with your breakfast. It is a good way to start your day with fruit.
