Breakfeast Crock-pot meals

Posted in recipes and kitchen tips

Ah, yes, breakfast is the most important meal of the day; far too important for dry, sugary cereal.  Yeah, I get it. I know I am not the best mother for giving my kids probably the least nutritious of meals.  The problem is I am generally lucky to fall into bed by midnight and to be honest, morning comes far too early.  I have problems getting out of bed…unless of course one of the kids comes running in and informing another one is pooking (it happened last week with all the flu and viruses in the house.)  I WANT to make a more nutritious meal but I just do not seem to get up in time to make it! …nor do I really have the energy. 

So I was thinking about this the other day when I noticed my crock pot. Ok, so any of you who have been following this blog know I am always on the lookout for great, easy crock-pot meals.  Now, while I know there are a lot of great recipes out there, but so many of them call for special ingredients.  While I know they are great I just do not have the time, energy, or patience to find exotic ingredients nor do I have the money for two pages long of ingredients.

I found a great site with some really (and easy) crock pot meals.  These can be made the night before and ready in the morning.  Also a great plus if you are heading out early in the morning for a day of field trips. These are recipes with eggs, cheese, potatoes, oatmeal and the like.  In other words, normal.

What is also great is all of these are so versatile.  You can easily cut these in half or double or triple the recipe depending upon the size of your family.  Plus you can add or take out ingredients depending upon your family’s taste buds.

I've never thought of using my crockpot for breakfast, probably because I use it so many afternoons I'd have to wash it twice a day, or maybe I could just buy a second one! You have a great blog, by the way.

Thanks for the link to the crock pot meals. I have to work 7-3 in ER the rest of this month. It would be nice to wake up to a nice, hot breakfast for a change.

I will likely post the link to those recipes on my menu blog:
