00:00:03,480 --> 00:00:08,000
Speaker 1: Welcome to Before Breakfast, a production of iHeartRadio.

2
00:00:08,840 --> 00:00:09,400
Speaker 2: Good Morning.

3
00:00:10,760 --> 00:00:16,840
Speaker 1: This is Laura. Welcome to the Before Breakfast podcast. Today's

4
00:00:16,880 --> 00:00:21,919
Speaker 1: tip is to make muffins on Sunday night. There is

5
00:00:22,040 --> 00:00:25,400
Speaker 1: no point spending all of Sunday preparing for the week ahead.

6
00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:30,040
Speaker 1: But a quick batch of muffins could be dessert on

7
00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:34,400
Speaker 1: Sunday and a breakfast treat for Monday, a little present

8
00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:35,680
Speaker 1: to start the week.

9
00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:41,080
Speaker 2: Well. So longtime listeners know that I am frequently counseling

10
00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:43,479
Speaker 2: people not to do too much to get ready the

11
00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:47,760
Speaker 2: night before. Getting ready the night before tends not to

12
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:51,920
Speaker 2: save time. It just spreads your getting ready over the

13
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:56,760
Speaker 2: night and the morning too. The same philosophy extends to

14
00:00:56,800 --> 00:01:02,520
Speaker 2: the weekend. Your weekday's self will figure things out. Don't

15
00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:06,760
Speaker 2: sacrifice your leisure or family time on the weekend out

16
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:09,319
Speaker 2: of some notion that this will somehow make the week

17
00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:15,880
Speaker 2: go perfectly. Nothing will make the week go perfectly. Rather

18
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:18,520
Speaker 2: than bake elaborate meals on the weekend to reheat during

19
00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:23,080
Speaker 2: the week, you're better off just having really simple meals.

20
00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:26,679
Speaker 2: Now that said, it's always fun to have some sort

21
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:30,880
Speaker 2: of little motivational treat on Monday morning. You are probably

22
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:33,280
Speaker 2: not going to get up to make an elaborate breakfast.

23
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:37,800
Speaker 2: But if you make muffins on Sunday night, you can

24
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:40,399
Speaker 2: have one for dessert, and then the rest can be

25
00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:44,039
Speaker 2: eaten in the morning or mornings. If they last that long,

26
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:48,760
Speaker 2: you'll wake up to something yummy. Of course, I know

27
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:52,560
Speaker 2: this tip doesn't work for everyone. If I personally make

28
00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:56,120
Speaker 2: half a dozen monthins on Sunday, they will be eaten

29
00:01:56,640 --> 00:02:00,440
Speaker 2: by my horde of children long before Monday. I have

30
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:02,960
Speaker 2: to hide one somewhere if I'm going to eat it

31
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:07,600
Speaker 2: for breakfast. Some muffins are not necessarily that healthy, though

32
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:09,680
Speaker 2: I'm sure you can come up with something more virtuous

33
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:12,960
Speaker 2: if you want, and you could eat that muffin with

34
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:15,600
Speaker 2: a hard boiled egg or fruit to make it a

35
00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:20,880
Speaker 2: more balanced meal. But making something quick, easy and fun

36
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:23,680
Speaker 2: on Sunday night can be a way to make Monday

37
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:28,120
Speaker 2: go a little smoother. Rather than figuring out breakfast, you're

38
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:31,520
Speaker 2: grabbing a pre made breakfast. It's like a pop tart,

39
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:34,920
Speaker 2: but better You could eat it on the road if

40
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:36,560
Speaker 2: need be, which means that maybe you can get a

41
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 2: little extra sleep, given how many people have trouble falling

42
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:44,960
Speaker 2: asleep Sunday night. That could be a good thing. There

43
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:48,480
Speaker 2: is no need to overthink this. Use a mix if

44
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:52,360
Speaker 2: you want, but try making yourself a little breakfast treat

45
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:55,960
Speaker 2: on Sunday night and you just might find Monday mornings

46
00:02:56,000 --> 00:03:02,880
Speaker 2: a little sweeter before and during breakfast. In the meantime,
