Easy Breakfast Ideas
It is one of the most important meals for getting our bodies going but how many of us are in such a rush in the mornings that the sight of a drive-through window is becoming a regular occurrence! Get your day off to a good start with our quick and easy breakfast ideas.
Make a breakfast casserole
It takes time to cook eggs and bacon for breakfast. No one wants to ruin their clothes with the mess it can create. On Sunday night, get breakfast done early by putting together a breakfast casserole using your favorite ingredients. This way its all ready to heat in the morning and depending on the size of your family, the casserole may last two to three mornings.
Be healthy with yogurt and fruit
Yogurt is a healthy and economical breakfast choice and a great option when you need to have something quick in the morning rush. Add some dried or fresh fruit and you also add carbohydrates as fuel in addition to the calcium and protein in the yogurt itself.
Breakfast shake
Even quicker than the yogurt and can be taken with you in the car. Put together some frozen fruit favorites, ice cubes, frozen yogurt, and unsweetened juice in a blender. Pour into Styrofoam cups to keep it cold. Everyone can grab a cup on the way out the door. The nutritional effect is about the same as yogurt, but without the spoon.
Pigs in a blanket
This is the homemade version. Whip up a batch of pancakes and freeze them in short stacks of three. A package or two of frozen link sausage is needed to create this quick and economical meal idea. Thaw out a stack of pancakes. Heat up three sausages in the microwave. Wrap a pancake around each sausage. Voila! You’ve got an instant pig in a blanket. Eat it as you watch the last of your favorite morning show or as you walk to the bus stop. It can be eaten in the car without too much fuss or mess. For a sweeter taste and less mess, add a little maple syrup or honey to the batter when making the pancakes.
Breakfast sandwiches
In the evening, while you are getting things ready for the next day, grill up a few breakfast sandwiches. Choose whatever you like: turkey slices, ham slices, cheese, tomato, bacon, etc. When the sandwich cools, cut it into bite size pieces and put it in a container. In the morning, just grab a container; pop it into the microwave for fifteen or twenty seconds and breakfast is served.
These breakfast ideas are time saving and money-saving too. They make use of items you buy normally and also whatever you have around the house to create delicious fare for a morning rush. Get prepared the night before and there are no more excuses for skipping breakfast or swinging into the fast food restaurant every morning.
