Breakfast and Lunch Ideas
by Chef Nick Cavataio

Do you struggle with serving the same old stuff every
day for breakfast and lunch? Tired of toast and juice,
or peanut butter and jelly? Why not schedule a
rotation for these two meals. Maybe you can pick out
your 14 favorite breakfasts and lunches and place them
on the calendar. This will eliminate the decision-making
in the early hours of the day and aid you in shopping.
You can make sure you have what you need on-hand
for these meals. Post the calendar on your refrigerator,
or some other safe place and refer to it in the morning
to know what you will have to do to prepare in advance
for these meals.

Feel free to substitute lunch items for breakfast items.
There is no law stating that waffles are only for
breakfast or grilled cheese sandwiches are only for
lunch! Use your creativity to come up with your own
list of what can be frozen. Once a week or so, you
can look over your lunch and breakfast choices and
make a shopping list that includes any items you will
need.
