Peanut butter toast is a staple around here. And, I do the boiled egg thing, too, as others have mentioned.

I started this higher-protein kick recently. I found that oatmeal has higher amounts of protein than almost all the ready to eat cereals. I have a bag of dried, mixed fruit that I throw in before I cook it. Also, from my childhood, I love peanut bu…

A fun fact I heard this week on a news report. People who began their day with egg whites ate 40% less during the day than people who ate something else for breakfast! I was shocked at that figure but it has something to do with the "bad hormones" t…

Our favorites are breakfast sandwiches made with either bagels or english muffins, topped with a microwaved egg, sausage and slice of cheese.

Actually breakfast burritos can be made ahead. I make large batches, wrap them in foil or wax paper and freeze them. Pop them in the toaster oven or microwave and you are done. Pancakes might sound impossible, but they can actually be quite doable…

When my husband takes off to play for mass on Sunday's he loves a breakfast sandwich. I buy a half dozen wheat rolls, a dozen eggs, and ground sausage, plus cheese. I make six sausage, egg, and cheese sandwiches at a time, individually wrap them and…

Hi Lisa, I simply eat leftovers from the night before. May sound strange but in the Philippines, breakfast is the heaviest meal of the day. It gives me enough energy to get thru the morning and I'm not hungry until way past lunch. I almost consider…

Mmm. Breakfast casseroles are the best! I make 'em the night before and pop 'em in the oven when I wake up. (But in the event I don't prepare the night before, cottage cheese and fruit always make a nice quick breakfast). These do take a while to c…

Do you have a slow-cooker? If you do, you can cook grains overnight and they'll be ready in the morning. The general rule is 4 parts liquid to 1 part grain. Oats are easy and generally kid-friendly. I can't oats, but I've cooked other grains and ha…

I make an oatmeal custard, all you do is prepare oatmeal in microwave, then add egg whites, cranberries and stevia for sweetening, and heat for 20 seconds till you get a custard consistency. It only takes about a minute and 20 seconds to make. My so…

1. Pour a small amount of cider vinegar into a cup. 2. Snip one corner off a resealable or plastic sandwich baggie. 3. Invert the snipped corner into the cup, hanging above but not touching the vinegar. 4. Secure baggie to cup with a rubber band aro…

My quick breakfast is half a cup of raw large flake oatmeal, half a cup of yogurt and half a banana chopped over it, or berries, or apple chunks from the apple sliced for the children, or... whatever fruit you prefer. It's pretty basic, natural and…

Whole Fruit Smoothies! Mix a frozen banana, a handful of strawberries, a chopped apple, and a few ice cubes in a blender. If you are feeling especially healthy, you can add a small handful of baby spinach to make a green smoothie. You cannot taste t…

Here's a recipe I have in my staff, but haven't tried yet. It's from FamilyFun Super Snacks. Cherry Tomato & Cucumber Bites 1 8 oz package cream cheese, softened ¼ cup basil leaves, finely chopped 1 clove garlic, crushed 1 tablespoon parmesan chee…

This is a little contrary to the rest of the ideas suggested, but have you thought about using a carrier (like an Ergo) so that you can carry her on your back while you do some simple cleaning & cooking? It's not ideal but makes for a much happier b…
