Peanut Butter Toast + Fresh FruitWith August underway, gone are the mornings of leisurely breakfasts we all enjoyed over summer vacation.  But even with the hustle and bustle of fall schedules, it is still important to start the day off with a nutritious and filling meal!  Here are few quick and easy breakfast ideas that will start your busiest mornings off on the right foot.

Peanut Butter Toast: Packed with protein, peanut butter provides energy for hours!  One of our favorite “on the go” breakfasts includes a couple slices of toasted bread topped with a generous spread of peanut butter.  To make this meal even more delicious add honey, bananas or even raisins.

Pancakes: Don’t have time to go out for pancakes at your favorite Denver breakfast spot?  No problem!  Make a large batch of pancakes over the weekend and either freeze or store them in the fridge.  Pancakes reheat beautifully in the microwave or toaster oven within just minutes.  Add a bit of fresh fruit, syrup and butter and you’re ready to eat!

Incredible Eggs:  Eggs may seem like a weekend staple, but they are quick and easy to prepare any day of the week.  Hard boil eggs the evening before if you are very short on time.  A hardboiled egg makes a great meal when served with a banana and a slice of toast.  Fried eggs are also quick and easy; they cook within just a couple of minutes and will satisfy hunger pangs throughout the morning.

Oatmeal: Nutritious and delicious!  Slow-cooked traditional oatmeal can be made a night in advance, or quick cooking oats make a speedy morning meal.  Simply add a bit of fresh fruit or brown sugar and you are ready to roll!

And remember, The Original Pancake House Denver will be here to serve you a splendid breakfast when the weekend comes around or when the kids are out of school!
