Okay, so mornings are busy and getting up earlier than everyone else to make a home cooked breakfast is just not me. Now, I can whip out a spread on a Saturday morning. But a weekday morning? Nuh-uh.
So, I usually have a box of toaster waffles or pancakes in the freezer for the mornings when a banana or cereal is just not acceptable for Bug. But why pay $2-$3 for a box of frozen ones at the store when you can make your own at home for a fraction of the cost?
Here's what you do:
Make your waffles or pancakes the way you normally do. (I happen to love my recipe)
Lay them out on plates or paper towels and let them cool completely.
Place in freezer bag (you can put foil or wax paper between them to keep them from sticking, but so far, I haven't had any trouble with sticking. I use mine up within a week though.)
When you are ready to eat them, pop them in the toaster.
Ta-da!
Enjoy!

This is a great tip! My 11 month old daughter had pancakes for the first time a few weeks ago at a restaurant and loved them! I knew that pancakes would be such an easy breakfast and a great finger food for her! My dad actually suggested making my own and freezing them. I was able to buy a packet of Bisquik Pancake mix for 75 cents at Kroger's and for less than $1 (factoring in the egg and milk) I was able to make her 13 pancakes! Can't beat that even with sales!
ReplyDeleteI also cook up 10 eggs scrambled and place 10 tortillas out on the counter with cheese, crumbled sausage, and the egg mixture. Roll up and freeze-make great breakfast burritos. Just reheat for about 30sec-1min.
