Most of us would rather spend an extra twenty minutes dozing than dealing with stoves or ovens to produce a nutritious meal. Give yourself a few extra morning-minutes by preparing bulk breakfast foods on the weekends or in the evenings, so that breakfast can be either grab-and-go or an enjoyable sit-down affair. Feeding your family's brains and bodies in the morning will start the day off right.
Grab-and-Go
Fruit, yogurt and cold cereal are about as fast as you can get. But with a little advance planning, you can prepare breakfast casseroles, muffins, and breads that will turn weekday breakfasts into something special.
Some Assembly Required
For heartier breakfasts, try these casseroles and coffee cakes. They take some time to bake, but by the time you're out of the shower and dressed for the day, they'll be ready to eat!
The Classics
If it's been a while since you scrambled some eggs or cooked hot cereal, you'd be surprised how quick it is to make these breakfast staples. Add some toast and ready-to-serve bacon, and you've got a blue plate special. (It'll take more time to clean up afterwards than to cook.)
