It seems as if there is never enough time to do all the things we need to do in the morning. Many times the thing that we need the most is the one we end up leaving out — breakfast.
Here are some breakfasts on the run that will give you the start you need to get through the busy day.
Pancakes with a Nutritious Twist
Add berries, sliced peaches, pineapple, chopped apples, nuts, raisins and bits of ham to pancake batter for extra nutrition and great taste. Or pour pancake batter on a grill and sprinkle extras on top. You can prepare several varieties of pancakes using the same batter. Roll one or two up in a napkin to take with you.
Waffle-Iron Breakfast Hack
Place several strips of bacon on a waffle iron. Cook until done and then remove bacon. Remove excess grease with a folded paper towel. Slip bread slices in a mixture of 2 beaten eggs mixed with 2 tablespoons of milk. Bake as waffles. Serve with bacon slices on the side. Wrap and go.
