When school is in session, easy dinners and quick breakfasts are essential for staying on schedule. We are going to make school days easier with make-ahead breakfasts and dinners, and some freezer-friendly snacks.
Waffle Breakfast Sandwich
Make your morning routine easy with these bacon, egg and cheese waffle sandwiches you can make ahead and freeze. Simply whisk 7 eggs, pour them into a baking dish, place 7 slices of turkey bacon on a baking sheet and bake both at 400 degrees for 15 minutes. Remove and allow to cool. Cut the eggs and bacon to fit your frozen waffles, place between two waffles along with a slice of cheese. Place your waffle sandwiches on a Cuisinart 5-in-1 Grill Griddler Panini Maker Bundle with Bonus Waffle Attachment from Buydig.com and cook until golden. Let them cool and wrap in freezer paper, and you have breakfast sandwiches to go!
Rollup Blender Pancakes
Combine the ingredients in this recipe in a Cuisinart SmartPower Deluxe Die Cast Blender and brown in a skillet from the Cuisinart Chef’s Classic Stainless Cookware 10 pc. Set. These pancakes can be stored in the refrigerator for a few days in a Ziploc bag. Remove, reheat in the microwave and spread fruit, whipped cream, jam or whatever filling you desire and roll up the pancakes.
Cheddar BBQ Meatloaf Muffins
Just use your regular recipe for meatloaf, and press the beef in a muffin tin from your Cuisinart Chef’s Classic Nonstick Bakeware 4-Piece Starter Set instead of the usual large pan. Right before the beef is done, brush some barbecue sauce on the tops and top the mini meatloafs with shredded cheddar cheese. Place the pan back into the Cuisinart Chef’s Toaster Convection Oven from Buydig.com until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Double this recipe and freeze for the busy school nights. After baking, remove the muffins from the pan to cool. Wrap each individual portion with foil and freeze. When you are ready to eat, simply thaw overnight in the refrigerator or on the counter for 4 hours. Place muffins on a pan in their foil pockets and bake at 375 degrees for 2 minutes.
Nutella and Banana Sushi
This super easy snack is perfect for hungry kids after school, and they can even help you make them. Spread about 1 tablespoon of Nutella on a whole wheat wrap. Place a whole banana at the edge of the wrap and roll it up. Slice into sections with one of your Cuisinart Advantage 12-Piece Knife Set. Sometimes it’s the simple things that are the best!
Jump start your mornings with these healthy breakfasts, and skip the drive-thru for dinner this year.
