1.
Stop trying to spread rock-solid butter on warm toast. Shred it on a cheese grater for buttery goodness and zero holes in your bread. -
2.
A couple of rounds in the microwave is the perfect way to crisp a single serving of bacon FAST. -
3.
Got bagels but no cream cheese? Ricotta is every bit as delicious and has extra protein! -
4.
Put pre-made cinnamon rolls in your waffle iron for 2-3 minutes and voila! Cinna-waffles. -
5.
Skip all the splattering grease, and do the same thing with frozen potatoes (in this case, tater tots) for easy hash browns. -
6.
Cereal settles. Flip the bag (or the entire box) before you open it to redistribute any clusters or larger pieces. This will also prevent you from pouring a bowl of dust when you reach the bottom. -
7.
Bake eggs, cheese, meat and maybe even a veggie or two in muffin tins for grab-and-go Frittata Cups. -
8.
No longer do scrambled eggs require a bowl, whisk, skillet, spatula, and plate! A mug + microwave = perfection. -
9.
Only interested in the egg whites? Use a water bottle to suck up (and save!) the yolks in 2 seconds flat. -
10.
Do you love yogurt but constantly forget to bring a spoon? Folding the foil lid works fine in a pinch! -
11.
Even instant oatmeal takes time to heat and cool. Instead mix oats, milk/water and fruit in a jar, and put it in the fridge before bed. It softens overnight and tastes good cold. -
12.
Using a kettle for tea takes too long and produces water that's WAY too hot. Plop a few tea bags in your coffee maker and run as usual for cuppa that's just right. -
13.
It's 2015...are you still trying to pour perfect pancakes from the bowl? This ketchup bottle trick will change your life. -
14.
The hot dog version of peanut butter and banana toast requires zero slicing and can be held in one hand while searching for your keys. -
15.
Omelets are delicious but you have to be Bobby Flay to flip them correctly. Skip the stress by making it in a sandwich press instead! -
16.
Prefer your eggs sunny side up? Use an onion ring to keep it from running all over the pan. -
17.
And if you like fruit for breakfast, just make sure you don't waste any time peeling the old fashioned way... -
18.
Peeling is a bother? Not anymore.
