mooooom Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 I need some easy breakfast ideas for eating in the car - we seem to have a lot of very early departures scheduled for the summer. TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beth S Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 This is our standard leave-at-6-am-on-vacation breakfast, which we will be eating next week! With butter & jelly. Each is wrapped in a paper towel to prevent spills. Then a sippy cup with juice for each. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crazycoffeechic Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 I cook up a big pan of biscuits and get the already cooked frozen sausages put them together. Wrap them up in paper towels, put them in a gallon freezer bag and stick them in the freezer. Dh has breakfast every morning.:001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lakeside Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 Breakfast burritos. These can be as simple as scrambled eggs in a tortilla. Yogurt and granola cups. We've made these ahead of time when we're going on early road trips. We put granola on the bottom of one of those paper coffee cups that has a lid, then some blueberries, and topped it with yogurt. Put the lid on it and pop it in the fridge until morning. (Ideally if you had some sort of reusable container to use that would be better, but those cups worked well in a pinch.) Now that I'm hungry, I'd better go make breakfast!:001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laura Corin Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 Omelettes wrapped in tortillas with grapes on the side? Laura Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snickelfritz Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 but, I stocked up on single serve milk cartons (the Horizons brand) and string cheese for this very reason. What I usually do is have them eat a quick piece of fruit while we're getting dressed. Then I take the milk, cheese, and a plastic bag of cheerios or some other similar dry cereal and they finish eating while we drive. Mine are younger and I can clean up cheese and cheerios, but I don't want to have to clean smashed banana out of the carpets. A friend does cereal bars, but my kids won't eat them.

mysticamethyst Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 I have snack cups for granola and cut up fruit, ziploc bags for popcorn and dry cerel. I love the idea of baking biscuts and sausage and freezing them, I will try that this weekend. Pancakes with a sausage rolled up is good too, but we skip the syrup.

sheryl Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 This needs to be prepared in advance, or use leftovers. I make our own egg roll ups this way: Tortilla shells Scrambled egg, egg substitute or combo of both Sausage links or soy sausage links Shredded cheese Broil sausages. At same time, lightly heat up the tortilla shells. This works BEST on parchment paper. After cooled down, dice or slice and add to finsihed scrambled egges. Toss, and add cheese. Place into tortilla shell and "roll up". Put back in oven for about 5 minutes. Roll entire "roll" in paper towel or more parchment paper and again in paper towel or what not to keep from getting burned. Grab a fruit and water and GOOOOOOOOOO......... HTH. It's hot, yummy and nutritious. Sheryl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bairnmama Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 We use the Quaker breakfast cookies, granola bars, or dry cereal in baggies with a juice box. It's all easy to clean up and doesn't spoil if left forgotten in the car on a hot day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
