Breakfast

I have trouble finding time to make breakfast for myself. I’ll make a Waffle House worthy meal for by hubby on the weekends (he is up and out the door early on weekdays), and the kiddos have a yummy breakfast to start the day everyday, even the cats wake up to a full bowl of kitty food, some how Nico gets neglected in the morning. Most days I’m a grab a cup of coffee and call it good kinda girl 😉  but I end up starving and a little grumpy by 10:00 a.m. Now I’m searching the Internet for a few breakfast recipes to make ahead and stick in the freezer. Then I have no excuse not to stop for breakfast.

I love to make Banana Muffins, and even my hubby likes these. They freeze very well, and I like to double the batch and make 3 mini loaves of Banana Bread (you just have to add about 10-15 minutes extra baking time). I’m also going to check out this recipe for Oatmeal Muffins, they sound pretty tasty to me. The Oatmeal Muffin recipe calls for Skim Milk, but I am going to use 2% I always have that on hand.

I’m getting pretty good at making Baking Powder Biscuits (I use the Betty Crocker recipe), I read in the cook book that you can add cooked bulk sausage into the biscuit dough to bake quick and easy breakfast sandwiches. I just might have to try this one out too, I wonder if they freeze well?

What grab and go breakfasts do you like to make? Do you have any family favorites? Feel free to share any tasty recipes that you have 🙂
