It’s breakfast time again? Where is the closest drive through? These fast food delights are easy to obtain but expensive and not very healthy. However, convenience sometimes makes these two issues easy to overlook. Did you know that you can make these wonderful treats ahead of time at home for much less? You can also make them healthy for your family. All you need to do is plan ahead and breakfast can be an easy meal every day.

Next time you are cooking breakfast meats like bacon, sausage and ham, just cook a little extra. This will help to make breakfasts that are healthy and inexpensive and easy to warm up. Prepare some pancakes ahead of time and use these as the bread for a great breakfast sandwich.

Toast or use an English muffin and add a slice of your favorite breakfast meat. Top with a slice of your favorite cheese and maybe even a fried egg and presto, breakfast is ready to go.

Pancake griddle sandwiches are another favorite. Take a couple of silver dollar pancakes out of the freezer and add a couple of slices of bacon or a slice of ham and sandwich the meat between the pancakes. Once again you have created a quick and easy breakfast meal.

Grilled cheese sandwiches are always a favorite. You can add a new twist by adding some breakfast meat between two slices of toasted not grilled bread. Add an egg or some cheese and you can eat on the run any morning.

Southwestern egg sandwiches are another treat for the family. Scramble a couple of eggs and add some cheese. Stir in some sausage, bacon or ham, salsa or hot sauce. Place between a couple of slices of bread or in a flour tortilla and roll it up.

Meat filled warm, easy and tasty breakfasts don’t have to be hard to make. Just use your imagination and a little preparation and you can have a hearty breakfast ready in no time.
