Breakfast for a Month

Dylan and I have to be out of the house by 7:30am.
As much as I would like to prepare a nutritious, healthy
breakfast for the kid, it's just not happening. The way our
schedules work out, he enters the kitchen just as I'm about
to begin the great transormation from morning hag to
beautiful, gorgeous, I can't believe she's over 40 mom.
(ok, so I'm stretching it, but you get the idea - makeup time)
Yes, he can get himself a bowl of cereal.
He can even make scrambled eggs.
I used to buy frozen waffles.
They fall into the category of what I call "Stupid Food".
Also in that category are:
-frozen pizza
-chicken nuggets
-bagel bites
Once a child is eating what you're eating, you have
to stop buying that garbage.
Cook one meal for the family, everyone eats it or they don't eat.
Anyway.....
I decided to make my own "stupid food", but it's made with real
ingredients so it's not stupid.
AND since I make a lot of it and freeze it so Dylan can just
pull it out of the freezer in the AM and pop it in the microwave,
I like to call it Smart Food - not to be confused with the pop corn.

So here we go, lots of pancakes and french toast.


Now you need a piece of wax paper.
Come on, I know you have some in your pantry.
You probably have the first box you ever bought,
you know, when you first got married and moved into
your new house?
Place a piece of french toast on the wax paper at a diagonal
and fold the corner over.


Put another piece on top. Each of my little packages
has two slices of french toast or three pancakes.



Fold the sides in so they overlap.


Now, my favorite part, which I think is pretty clever.
Yeah, I know, I need to get out more.
Take that tail piece that's sticking out......



.....and tuck it in between the two slices!
(Kerry is a giant loser)



And Voila'! You have a nice little packaged breakfast.


Breakfast for a month.


You know that he had a bagel this morning and cereal yesterday, right?
Why do I bother??
