I have a infant, and a crazy schedule so I usually just eat a bowl of ceral for breakfast but I know its not always the healthiest. Does anyone have any ideas for breakfast that are quick and easy to make, and fairly cheap?

    boil some eggs the night before, eat 2 or 3 in the am. protein shake, whole grain english muffin with some pb&j.

    overnight oatmeal is one of my favs if you have a little time at night to make it before bed (just google it there are a million recipes, all of which are delicious!)

    i know what you mean, i'm a grab and go breakfast type person as well and all four of those are the things i've found that works for me.

    I'm the laziest person in the world in the morning, so I just take 1/2 cup of oats, throw in some water and microwave it for a little under a minute. While that's in there, I get about 1/2 tbs of splenda brown sugar and some raspberries. I throw it all together and eat. Takes me literally 2 minutes until I'm eating it.

    Not exactly gourment breakfast.. but it is cheap and simple! :)

    Also, if it's too plain for you.. throw in a little bit of peanut butter for flavor.

    You can make a giant pot of steelcut oats, put in fridge and every morning just add a scoop of it to a bowl, toss in microwave, then toss in some stuff to jazz it up (vanilla, cinnimon, nuts, raisins, etc) a splash of milk, stir, eat and go.

    I line a muffin pan (in each little hole) with a slice of turkey bacon, then scramble together 8 eggs and 1/4 cup of cheese then pour the mixture in each cup. Back at 350 for like 30 minutes and then I just reheat them through out the week. I modified it to put the paper linings down first because I cant get the bacon flush against the pan and the egg oozes out when baking lol

    I'll eat one or two of those each morning. If I only eat one, I add Low Fat Cottage Cheese to the meal (ate separately of course)

    That sounds delicious.

    It's not bad! I'm not a huge egg fan, so the bacon equals it out lol
