Last night Free Range Hubby and I made nearly a month's worth of breakfast foods to put in the freezer. We started at 7:40 right after Free Range Bennett went to bed. Including the cleanup, bagging, labeling, and storing, we finished at 9:45. I think we even lunches for the following day during that time.
So after 2ish hours we had plain pancakes (whole wheat), berry pancakes (made with frozen berries bought from the store), cinnamon-vanilla pancakes, french toast sticks, and breakfast burritos. I'm excited about having all of these homemade breakfasts to enjoy throughout the month!
Like I said before, breakfast is the meal that we rely on most heavily for processed foods. Most of the other blogs I read talk about doing lots of lunches and dinners, but I haven't found many people who premake breakfast foods. If you can't do the whole once-a-month freezer cooking thing, I suggest doing what we have done. Just pick out what time of day you're most likely to resort to the processed stuff and prepare a couple of things ahead of time. One of the things I've learned through all of this is the transition to whole foods is not an overnight process, true change comes when you do it little by little. Baby steps!
