Every morning my family has a busy “Leaving the House” routine. My husband and I get up a little past six to start ours. JDaniel wakes up when I get to the part of my routine that involves heading into his room to get him up . Before that I have to get myself ready and decide what we will be having for breakfast ! Once I have showered, dressed, and decided on a quick breakfast idea , I need to get him moving. Getting him moving can take awhile! Having a quick breakfast idea mind already helps our kitchen morning routines go much faster.
Some mornings I set out a bowl of cereal, some fruit and a glass of milk at his place at the table. It is a quick and easy breakfast idea. There are some days like the day he takes a standardized test or a chilly fall morning that I want to give him something more to give to him for breakfast. Something that maybe has a little protein in it. Last winter I shared with you a collection of delicious breakfast casseroles.
Casseroles can take awhile to bake. If you don’t want to be up early to create and bake one, you might like to try a quick breakfast idea from the list below.
Quick Breakfast Idea Collection
Breakfast Tortillas – We have made and loved each of one of these.
