Don't run away...this is NOT as scary as it sounds! It is really quite simple and freeing. Grab a piece of paper and write down the days of the week. Beside each day of the week, write a breakfast. Depending on your season of life, you can make this as simple or as complicated as you would like. If you have small children and/or a baby, don't stress yourself out! If you need to write "Cheerios" 5 times, then just do it. I like to think in terms of nutrition. Then write it all neatly on a chart and post it in your kitchen. This can be the breakfast menu for every week, and you can tweak it occasionally to your liking. Having a menu will bring a sense of order to your mornings. And, if you have a baby and you're up during the night, train your oldest child to check the menu and start breakfast for you! Some simple nutritious breakfast ideas are: scrambled eggs and toast, freezer waffles, oatmeal, cold cereal and fruit, pancakes. If you want to add to them, you can throw in bacon or sausage, hashbrowns, or fruit. Tip: if you are more of a night person than a morning person, try doing some of the prep the night before.
Here is a sample of what our breakfast menu looks like:
Sunday- cereal and fruit
Monday- waffles and bacon
Tuesday- boiled eggs and toast
Wednesday- cereal, toast, applesauce
Thursday-pancakes and strawberries
Friday- cereal and fruit
Saturday-waffles, scrambled eggs, bacon, hashbrowns
Don't forget to make sure all the ingredients that you need get on your shopping list. :)
