I often hear the argument that home-cooked breakfasts are a luxury...that it is faster and more convenient to grab fast food on the go than to crack an egg or two and cook an omelet. NOT TRUE.
It is healthier and more budget-friendly to prepare a good breakfast at home - even if one must eat it "on the run" - than to grab "fast food." Just check the ingredients list of your favorite breakfast foods - I was horrified when I did this years ago!
This morning, I made a simple mushroom omelet for breakfast. It was a matter of seconds to slice a few mushrooms. Maybe a minute to sauté in a lump of butter. And then another minute or two to crack eggs, whip with a bit of milk, pour into the pan with the mushrooms, and cook til finished.
In total, it approximately 5 minutes to make a healthy and delicious omelet from scratch. Significantly less time than driving to a fast food outlet, waiting on line to order, waiting to pay, and waiting for the food. And significantly healthier than even the "healthiest" fast food fare.
On mornings when I know we will be rushed, I prep breakfast the night before - soaked oats oatmeal with raisins, or (homemade) yoghurt cups with fruit, or even scrambled egg with cheese sandwiches or french toast to warm up in the oven as we get ready for the day.
