Easy Easy Rice
My kids love rice and it's good for them. It makes a great breakfast if you are tired of boxed cereal (or tired of the price of boxed cereal). Hot rice with a little sugar and milk is a great substitute. However, I hated standing over the stove stirring rice as it cooked. So, I've found two methods of cooking rice that make it super easy.

• 1 cup uncooked white rice
• 2 cups water

2) Use a double boiler. Place 2-3 inches of water in the bottom pan. Put rice and water in the upper pan and cook on high setting for 30 minutes. No stirring required. (See, I told you it was easy!)

Makes 3 servings, 1 cup each.

Easy Easy Oatmeal
This is another great breakfast idea. Instead of paying extra money for instant oatmeal in the single serve packages, use quick oats in the microwave. This is just as quick and far less expensive. And again, there is no standing over the stove stirring for this recipe!

• ½ cup uncooked quick oats
• 1 cup water
• dash salt
• ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 3 tablespoons raisens (substitute any fruit)
• milk to taste

• 1¼ cup all purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 beaten egg
• 1 cup milk
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Makes about 10 standard size pancakes.

French Toast
So easy, and the kids LOVE them.

• 4 eggs
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1 teaspoon cinn.
• ¼ cup milk
• 12 slices of bread (any type)

Sausage Casserole
This casserole can be made the night before needed and used the next morning. It's great when you know you are going to have overnight guests and little time in the morning.

• 1 lb. package of sausage, cooked, drained, and crumbled
• 4½ cups dry bread cubes
• 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar chesse
• 10 beaten eggs
• 4 cups milk
• 1 teas. dry mustard
• 1 teas. salt
• ½ cup chopped onion
• pepper to taste
• ½ cup sliced mushrooms
• ½ cup chopped tomatoes (optional)
• ½ cup chopped green peppers (optional)

Cover and chill overnight. Bake uncovered at 325ºF for 1 hour.

Sausage & Hashbrowns Casserole
This is the same as the above recipe except you use hashbrowns instead of bread crumbs and you reduce the amount of milk.

• 1 lb. package of sausage, cooked, drained, and crumbled
• 1 frozen package of Hashbrown potatoes
• 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar chesse
• 10 beaten eggs
• 1 cup milk
• 1 teas. dry mustard
• 1 teas. salt
• ½ cup chopped onion
• pepper to taste
• ½ cup sliced mushrooms
• ½ cup chopped tomatoes (opional)
• ½ cup chopped green peppers (optional)

Cover and chill overnight. Bake uncovered at 325ºF for 1 hour.

Crock Pot Sausage & Potatoes
This recipe is even better for overnight guest because you can fix it the night before and get 8 hours of sleep and the breakfast is hot and ready to eat the next morning.

• 1½ lbs. sliced smoked sausage
• 1 frozen (2 lb.) package of hashbrowns
• 1 cup chopped onion
