Did you know that February is National Hot Breakfast Month? My kids’ favorite things to eat for breakfast are hot items: pancakes, waffles, eggs, and toast. While making a hot breakfast takes more time, I’m always on the lookout for ways to make recipes a little easier. Sometimes I can prepare breakfast the night before, like I do with my Baked Oatmeal. I also like to take a Kitchen Prep Day and make ahead items like Pancakes, Waffles, or breakfast burritos and freeze individually. Check out these recipes to celebrate National Hot Breakfast Month now, or later!

Do you make ahead breakfast items and freeze? What do you eat for breakfast?
We love homefries and I really don’t want to start from scratch in the morning as they take too long. I found that I can peel and cube potatoes and boil them until they are just beginning to get tender which is usually 10 minutes. Drain and pour onto a large baking sheet to cool to room temp. Then I put just enough into a ziploc freezer bag for them to be in a single layer when the bag is laid flat. Stack them in the freezer and they are all ready to be quickly browned in a skillet in just 10 minutes or so. I tried flash freezing but they stick to the baking sheet, so I tried them on wax and parchment aper and they were still stuck fast so the freezer bag works best. These potatoes are absolutely delicious! I often prep a batch when I have potatoes that are starting to sprout and need to be used up. Last week I did about 8 pounds so we are set for awhile.
Thank you so much for these great ideas!
We do French Toast Sticks at our house. They freeze great! Just heat them up & dip in maple syrup … yum! And I love that you can add veggie puree.

Ingredients:
30 slices whole wheat bread
.25 cups butter, melted
8 eggs
.33 cups sugar
1.33 cups milk
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 teaspoon cinnamon
.5 cups butternut squash puree (could also use sweet potato, pumpkin or acorn squash)
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Slice bread slices into thirds. In a large bowl mix all ingredients except sliced bread (I use the blender!). Spray a cookie sheet with cooking spray. Dip bread pieces, one by one, in the batter until coated and then place on the cookie sheet. Bake for 30 minutes turning over half-way through to ensure even cooking on both sides. When done, remove to cooling rack. Serve or freeze.
Freezing Directions:
Allow to cool on cooling rack completely or place on a cool cookie sheet and place in freezer for 10-15 minutes or until partially frozen (flash freezing). Place in Ziploc freezer bag and place in freezer until ready to use. To serve: microwave 30-45 seconds.
