Amazing Breakfast Recipes
Amazing, yet easy breakfast recipes help you start your day on
the
right foot. But, I imagine you are like me. I often grab breakfast on
my way out of the door. Then on the weekends, I have a little more time
and I like to cook. Let me show you a few breakfast recipes that work
well for
either situation.
In either case, incorporate fresh fruit into
your diet. It is easy and will help with your health. For example, grab
an apple or a banana on your way out of the door or have half
of a
grapefruit with your pancakes.

"On
the Go" Breakfast Recipes
Life
gets
busy and some mornings there just isn't time to sit down and have
a nice meal. But that doesn't mean that you should skip breakfast. Your
mother always told you it was the most important meal of the day and
she was right. These easy breakfast recipes will help you save time and
eat well.
| Tip:
Don't settle for pop tarts, granola bars,
or super
sweet breakfast cereal. They are full of empty calories (fat and
sugar). In fact a Nature Valley Trail Mix Granola Bar contains almost
exactly the same amount of fat, sugar, and calories as two fun size
Snicker bars. Fruit loops are half sugar (15 grams of sugar in a 30
gram serving). You might as well eat candy bars for breakfast.

With
a little bit of effort, you can have a very tasty and healthful
breakfast every day of the week. Here are some breakfast recipes that
can help
you with that.
- Breakfast Cookies (Coming Soon!): Use dried fruit and nuts
to make a tasty and healthful cookie that can fill you up.
- Breakfast Sandwiches (Coming Soon!): There are many
sandwiches that you can do for breakfast, let me show you my favorites.
- Muffins (Coming Soon!): I have many types of
muffin recipes and many of them are healthful. You can make them ahead
of time and freeze them in ziplock bags. Then you can just grab a bag
with a muffin in it and take it with you. They will thaw in about an
hour.
- Orange
French Toast: This French toast can
be made ahead of time and tastes great without syrup making it perfect
to grab and go.
- Toast:
I know you don't need a recipe for
toast, but let me share a few ideas of how I top my toast.
- Yogurt:
Did you know that a 8 ounce yogurt can have 43 grams of sugar! Flavor
your own yogurt to suit your
tastes and help you stay healthy. You can make it ahead of
time and eat it when you get to work.
"Sit
and Eat" Breakfast Recipes
On Saturday, I have more time to leisurely cook breakfast and
enjoy it. These are some of my favorite dishes to make.
| Tip:
When
I was a boy, Mom would make many of these recipes while I was getting
ready for school. If you are the family cook and have the time to make
breakfast every morning, your family will love you for it.
Many of these recipes (such as the hot cereals) require some
time to cook, but require very little prep time. |

known, but it is my favorite hot cereal.

Syrup Recipes
In
my mind, syrup is an important part of pancakes and waffles. I just
couldn't write a breakfast recipes page without including a few recipes
for syrup!
Tip:
Keep in mind that syrups contain a lot of sugar.
Learn to use less syrup
so your breakfast doesn't turn into dessert. Cut back a little at a
time and you won't even miss it.
Try
the butter syrup recipe below. It is a very light syrup that doesn't
have near as much sugar as the others do. |
- Butter
Syrup: I've never met anybody else
that makes this milk based syrup, but everybody I have served it to
wants the recipe.
- Coconut
Syrup: This is a light and
refreshing coconut flavored syrup.
- Maple
Syrup: Learn to make your own maple
syrup. It will save you money and it tastes great.
