Breakfast Tip


Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day. Breakfast food is my favorite kind of food. So, on the weekend I consider it a treat for me (and my family) to cook a big breakfast. But, as you all know, it's frustrating during the weekday morning rush to make sure everyone, not only eats breakfast, but gets something you feel good about serving them. I really don't always trust these overly processed, ready-made, instant food products. However, I did come up with my own ready-made breakfast treat/solution. On these leisurely Saturday mornings when you have time to whip up a batch of your family's favorite pancakes, double the recipe. Individually wrap the leftovers and freeze them. Now, when your charges are ready for breakfast on a weekday, just pop one or two (or three or four) in the microwave for a few seconds and let 'em eat to their heart's content. Okay, I realize there are several brands of frozen pancakes out there in your "grocer's freezer", but wouldn't you much rather feed your loved ones something straight from your own hands and heart? Besides that, it saves a little money, too!

Now, go save the day, Mom!

  1. M - I have a *great* pancake recipe. My girls LOVE it! And I do just what you do - double the recipe and freeze the leftovers for weekday b-fast. The recipe is on my ahalf-dozen eggs blog (which I think is linked in my profile - email me if it's not)
