Another thing we made this time around - breakfast cupcakes. These fit perfectly into English muffins for breakfast sandwiches (my kiddos like an additional cheese slice melted on top if it's in a sandwich) or you can even eat them plain like mini-omelets! This is pretty easy, all you need is a muffin tin, eggs, and any cheese/meat you want to put in (we used shredded cheddar, ham, and sausage).
This week I hosted another back-to-school freezer meal workshop - and this time around we did breakfasts! I love having nutritious breakfasts already pre-made. It saves SO much time in the morning (they take about 20 seconds to heat up in the microwave) and I know my kiddos are heading off to school with something good in their stomachs. We mostly just did the basics - batches of whole wheat pancakes (peanut butter pancakes and blueberry pancakes too!) and a ton of whole wheat French toast. We also scrambled up a bunch of eggs (one batch with ham and another with sausage) and put them into tortillas for some protein-filled breakfast burritos. All you need to do is wrap these up in plastic wrap/ziplock bags and freeze them. My kids choose what they want the night before and we lay it out in the fridge and it's perfectly thawed by morning!

This is pretty easy, all you need is a muffin tin, eggs, and any cheese/meat you want to put in (we used shredded cheddar, ham, and sausage). I used 9 eggs for a 12 muffin tin. Just mix the eggs with a splash of milk (like you're making an omelet) and grease your muffin tins (trust me, you want to grease them good or they are a pain to clean out! :). Pour in the eggs so the tins are about 2/3 full. Add in your chopped up meat and some shredded cheese on top. Bake at 375 for 18-20 minutes. Let cool and scoop out with a plastic spoon. Wrap or place in small plastic bags and freeze! Lay out the night before to thaw (just like the other breakfasts) and then reheat in the microwave the next morning and eat! My kiddos like them because they are "cute," but I love them because they are so healthy and I know they are very filling since it's all protein (and yes, I eat these myself for breakfast pretty often too, so they don't have to just be for your kiddos! :)

AuthorI love writing romance novels, editing other people's novels, planning parties (heavy on the theme food!) and watching movies. Cooking has also become a passion of mine (because you can't have a proper party without food!) and I love finding new hobbies when I can squeeze them in. Archives
