Morning, solved

Breakfast

French toast, burritos, pancakes, eggs, and a few things you can make ahead.

Some of these are Saturday projects. Some are Tuesday. Egg muffins and overnight oats are the make-ahead lane. French toast and shakshuka are for when you can stand at the stove.

Eggs are the common thread. Pull them while they still look slightly soft if you are reheating later. They keep cooking off the heat and in the microwave.
