School Morning Breakfasts

Recently I was asked what we do for School Morning Breakfasts in a Facebook group (and yes, it deserves to all be capitalized- it's a daunting topic). It came as part of a discussion about how expensive everything is nowadays, when I said I try to homemake as much as possible. I made sure to add that I know it isn't always possible for everyone to do that, but the I was happy to share some of our recipes. When asked about School Morning Breakfasts, I started listing out our rotation and realized we actually have a lot of different options! So I decided to share here.

I am very blessed in that I have a husband who typically makes breakfast for everyone. It makes me smile because I remember my Dad making breakfast for us more often in different seasons, and I love the help. I typically make lunches and dinners, so I appreciate the break.

Here is our master list, and I will come back to link recipes as I publish them! Because we want breakfast to take maybe 10-15 minutes to prepare, max, most of the items listed are made ahead of time and frozen or refrigerated, then reheated
