Ill be the first to admit it, Breakfasts are hard. Sleeping in throws off the schedule, early classes and running out the door, or just plain boredom of the average toast and cereal make me very unlikely to eat a healthy breakfast. For me, its an extra challenge, because I don’t like eggs. Yes, thats right. The universal breakfast item is my worst enemy. Therefore, these recipes are SANS-EGG! I’m rebelling! But, to be fair to you oeuf-enthusiasts, I will let you know when you can add them in. I want to share 5 recipes right now with you! Some of the easiest and inexpensive on-the-go breakfast recipes you’ll find!

A homemade, frozen breakfast sandwich, just heat and go! Initial preparation may take some time.
Sausage and Cheese English Muffins
1/2cup shredded sharp cheddar
1/2lb ground pork
1tsp each of Garlic Powder, Crushed Fennel, Rosemary, Thyme, Pepper, Salt
1bag English Muffins, toasted
Optional Oeuf: Scrambled eggs or sunny side up, but not runny yolk.
Olive oil for cooking
In a bowl, mix together the pork with the seasonings. Use a few tablespoons worth of the pork to form a ball, and flattening the ball into a patty about 1/2inch bigger around than the english muffins, repeat this until the pork is gone. In a heated and oiled frying pan, fry the patties until they are cooked all the way through. Set aside. Toast the English muffins and then assemble the sandwiches with 1 or 2 sausage patties (depending on the amount you end up with), cheese, mustard and mayo, and optional eggs. Let cook completely, then put in individual bags and freeze. Use toaster oven, microwave or oven if you like your english muffin crispy.
