Kristi I'm a fan of breakfast food If you peruse the frozen food aisle at the grocery store you'll find you can freeze pretty much any "breakfast foods" You can easily make your own and freeze them. In the long run it's cheaper and you (mostly, ha ha!) control the ingredients. I'm making a few assumptions: (1) you have a microwave, (2) you don't have health or religious reasons for not eating specific things, (3) you aren't a vegetarian* *You can buy vegetarian breakfast "sausage" and perhaps even "bacon" (Morningstar Farms is a brand I've seen); I cannot vouch for what the stuff tastes like! If you like bacon, the pre-cooked bacon (just heat & eat) isn't bad but it can be pricy. Pre-cooked sausage links and patties have been around forever. But, in your spare time (!!) you can always buy the real deal and cook it in batches yourself. I like the (fairly recent development) frozen (uncooked) buttermilk biscuits. You can pop as few or as many as you want in the oven, which is a real plus. And there's always English muffins, so... .... you could assemble breakfast sandwiches ahead of time and freeze them. Bake some biscuits or toast some muffins. Let them cool then split them. Throw on some cooked bacon or sausage (or the vegetarian version thereof), a slice of cheese and a bit of scrambled egg. Wrap well and freeze. No need to thaw; when you're ready just pop one or two in the microwave on medium power 2-3 minutes until heated through. I gather fruit smoothies are a popular thing for breakfast with some folks. Me, I just can't take something that cold and sweet in the morning. (In general, sweets aren't my thing.) Fruit yoghurt, perhaps? EggO toaster waffles? Jill |

Kristi When I was working I used to make 5 peanut butter sandwiches on Sunday, freeze them, and each night take one out for the next morning. Then I'd eat it at work, but you could eat it on your drive in. Bobble |

if waffles and pancakes are something you want to eat, they freeze
wonderfully, reheat in microwave or toaster, also, if you make them from scratch are very inexpensive, I tried to do breakfast sandwiches and they froze beautifully I used eggs Canadian bacon, not cheap, ff cheese and egg beaters, also not cheap, if I ever do it again I will make the eggs and meat, toast the muffins and assemble after frozen, or store in separate containers having the ability to heat the egg separately first, the advantage will be not cooking in the morning, Lee jmcquown wrote in message . ..

Wanted to give you all an update in my vet tech life....... So I lost my job last friday and spend the next day updating and email out my resume. I had a line on a website, Vet Staffing services, which is like a temp agency for vet techs, and I posted my resume I got a call literally an HOUR later, The guy that runs it is a management consultant for veteirnary clinics, helping clinics reach their fullest potential. And he had been looking for someone. There is a clinic out in Westlake Village, (Thousand Oaks, which is Northwest of LA County). It's very small, only one doctor, and has been open about 2-3 years. The doctor has 2 techs that are reasonably proficient, but had a few entry level techs with no training. And their training protocol was outdated. they needed someone skilled to not only help them as a skilled tech but to help train their entry level techs AND receptionists in basic skills. And the management consultant had been looking feverishly for an ideal candidate..... and then my resume crossed his desk....... I went in for an interview with the consuntant on Monday and was sent out to Westlake the same day. I'm going to be there 3 days a week, not only being a vet tech, but training the employees and helping them rewrite their training protocol. I jumped right in and so far have impressed the employees and the doctor with my ability to not only know what I'm doing without excessive explanatoin, but ALSO have some skills to show them. They only recently have started using their digital dental x- ray....Well at the last place not only was I trained, but got to the point where Dr. S could say, "Okay shoot xrays of those suspcious teeth and come get me when you're done." It's the same program and though I'm not an expert, I know more than the average tech and can get what is needed. Oh and this doctor also sees exotics, which I have no training in, but because I'm already trained in general, to doctor had no problem yesterday teaching me how to tube feed a cockatiel or have me restrain a Macaw. (BTW, those huge birds can be INTIMIDATING!) It's only a few days a week, so about half the hours, but pays 1 extra dollar an hour than the last place (so small pay increase) And this only so far is for 6 weeks, to help get their entry techs up to speed while also working as a tech. But if I play my cards right adn things go well, there is the small possibilty this could turn into a full time position. and I found out that one of the proficient techs will be leaving in August for Vet School.....hmmmmmm The only drawback to this place is the location. It's a good 25 miles by freeway on the 101, which isn't a great freeway at times. But aside from that, the doctor has seemed to have put a lot of trust in me so it is very promising....... Thanks for all the purrs and I'll keep you updated..... Kristi Congratulations on the job, Kristi. If you don't mind, we'll continue the purrs that it works out well for you.

I was also thinking if you went and got the stuff for breakfast casserole,
which can be as cheap or pricey as you want, made a couple of versions, let it cool and froze it it would reheat nicely... butter the baking pan, layer bread in the bottom, butter it if you like or spray with olive oil. then layer in meat, mushrooms, onions, left over vegetables, peppers, sausage or hamburger you cooked or bacon you cooked and crumbled up then a layer of cheese, then another bread, repeat, if the pan is deep enough, then beat eggs and pour over, let sit overnight in refrigerator, bake at 325/350 until eggs are firm, allow too cool cut and freeze,, Lee Susan M wrote in message ... jmcquown wrote: Mischief wrote: Anyway, I need some menu ideas, since I'm short on cash and have though there is this nice Italian deli nearby that is calling my name......anyone have some good recipes that could be frozen or good for someone on the go??
