2 weeks of breakfasts

This plan makes 16 take-with-you breakfasts for procrastinating picky
eaters who can't manage to eat breakfast in the house before they
leave for work, but do have access to a microwave, a vending machine
that sells milk and a water fountain at work and aren't glared at if
they eat at their desk. i.e. me.

You do have to remember to grab one out of the fridge as you're
leaving each morning, though!

* Breakfast Tacos with Salsa
* Bowl of Peaches with sugar
* Vanilla Yogurt and Blueberries
* Bowl of Oatmeal, plus a Banana for Later

Keep on hand: sugar packets, tupperware, oatmeal, lunch sacks.

Grocery list:

thin flour tortillas
1 lb sausage
Jar of salsa
Packet of 4 active vanilla yogurts
3-5 eggs
Blueberries
Bananas
Jar of peaches


5 min:
Whatever day you're cooking dinners anyway, use the pan briefly to
scramble the eggs and cook up the sausage. Store in fridge.

20 min:
Measure .75 cups oatmeal each into 4 plastic bowls. Store with a
sugar packet.
Make 8 breakfast tacos and store 2 to a container, each with a Saran-
wrap pouch of salsa.
Measure 4 portions blueberries into baggies and store with the yogurt.
Measure 5-6 peach slices each into 4 containers and store with a
sugar packet.

For the next 16 days, rotate between the four meals. Need to record:
actual assembly time; cost; and whether I really eat all these dang
things.

Possible future (or lazy) additions: Waldorf salad (only keeps 2 days
though); Small bowl with milk + baggie of healthy cereal; Snausages +
a paper towel (not the dog food, but rather our name for those
sausage-biscuit frozen sandwiches); Cheese n' apples (drizzled with a
tsp of lemon juice?); ham n' mustard rolls?; fruit cups with mandarin
oranges?
