Do You Have Time to Eat Breakfast?

on January 18, 2009 at 8:10 AM

muffin We all know that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. But by the time we get everyone up and out the door, how many of us actually have time to eat it?

To the rescue: The Kitchn has a list of several quick and easy breakfast ideas—healthy muffins and bars, frittatas, overnight oatmeal—that you can make ahead, wrap individually, and grab whenever you have a free nano-second.

has shoes that make people stop her on the street and ask "Where did you get those?" but it doesn't work for taxi cabs as she was hit by one ... and lived to tell the tale. She has more freckles than Lohan but way less attitude. And she's a fierce cook with tons of recipes to share -- and wishes she could share some with Bourdain.

I always wake up first and eat before the kids get up. Its my quiet time, I can check my emails and enjoy a hot piece of toast and tea or a grapefruit and a cup of coffee. I try to give myself 30 minutes then start waking the kids up.

I usually gulp down a protein shake...I'm not a big breakfast eater anyway.

I always have a protein and fresh fruit. PNB and banana. Cheese and apple. Sometimes I have a carb but usually not. It's often on the go, but it's there.

I've never been a breakfast eater. Never have been. I'd go to school without breakfast and 'starve' till lunch. I had gastric bypass 8 months ago and I should eat breakfast. Most days I either forget or it doesn't sound appealing to me. If I do ...it's something small like yogurt and a cheese stick or some type of cereal. I do have the time ...just not the 'umph' to want to eat.
