Scary Mommy

Let’s be real: No mom is waking up on a weekday morning hours before her kids to make them homemade breakfasts each day. Chances are you’re already up before the sun to get yourself and your kids out the door and into school and work on time (or at least not that late). So, having some go-to school morning breakfast ideas — ones you can make ahead and reheat or that only take a few minutes to prepare — is everything. And often, your kids’ breakfast needs to be portable enough to eat in the car. These recipes cover all your bases, and most of them can be made ahead so that you don’t have to cook first thing in the morning.
