Quick Breakfast recipes/ideas

EricsTrueLove2

I work full-time and LO starts Pre-school in less than a month. I never make breakfast for her during the week because up until now she has been with my mom who makes breakfast for her. I need some quick breakfast recipes, preferably ones that can be made in advance so we can eat quickly in the morning. I usually have yogurt or oatmeal at work so I've never been a cook in the mornings .

My DD's new favorite thing is smoothies. I make a batch (yogurt, frozen fruit, whatever fresh fruit I have in the house and sometimes silken tofu) and then freeze them in Ball freezer containers. They're plastic and can obviously go in the freezer. The night before, I put one in the fridge and it's just thawed enough by morning. For some reason, she'll eat way more smoothie than plain ole yogurt. Works for me!

Otherwise, she's a carb girl in the mornings. I premake pancakes and waffles and freeze them (after they've cooled) in gallon size Ziplocs. I microwave the pancakes and put the waffles in the toaster just like an Eggo. I usually do a little bit of fruit on the side, or have her dip them in yogurt.

I don't usually cook in the mornings...DS eats waffles, pancakes (the frozen ones that go in the toaster), yogurt, cereal, fruit.  He does want eggs sometimes, I scramble an egg and pop it in the microwave for a minute.  It takes less than 5 minutes to get breakfast made.

I was going to post almost the exact same thing.

DS is a HUGE breakfast eater and loves for me to cook breakfast.   I usually prep things the night before.  Like if I am making pancakes I get the mixing bowl, measuring cups (fill a measuring cup with milk and measure out the flour,act) and get the eggs ready.  Have the pan & spatula out and so I just grab really quick what I need from the fridge and start breakfast.  I even go as far as prepping a his sippy, plate and fork the night before.  I cut up fresh fruit every few days to have on hand to toss on his plate.

DS loves yogurt, granola, and fruit in the mornings.

DD has breakfast in the car most of the time, normally a plain toaster waffle and a cup of milk.  Sometimes we switch it up - and have a bagel thin (plain or w/ peanut butter), cinnamon swirl bread, and/or a banana.  On occassion, if she's feeling very feisty, I'll offer (or she'll ask for) some Pirates Booty or pretzels - and I'm OK with that on a very occassional basis.
