WEBVTT - Make muffins on Sunday night

0:00:03.480 --> 0:00:08.000
<v Speaker 1>Welcome to Before Breakfast, a production of iHeartRadio.

0:00:08.840 --> 0:00:09.400
<v Speaker 2>Good Morning.

0:00:10.760 --> 0:00:16.840
<v Speaker 1>This is Laura. Welcome to the Before Breakfast podcast. Today's

0:00:16.880 --> 0:00:21.919
<v Speaker 1>tip is to make muffins on Sunday night. There is

0:00:22.040 --> 0:00:25.400
<v Speaker 1>no point spending all of Sunday preparing for the week ahead.

0:00:26.360 --> 0:00:30.040
<v Speaker 1>But a quick batch of muffins could be dessert on

0:00:30.120 --> 0:00:34.400
<v Speaker 1>Sunday and a breakfast treat for Monday, a little present

0:00:34.960 --> 0:00:35.680
<v Speaker 1>to start the week.

0:00:35.680 --> 0:00:41.080
<v Speaker 2>Well. So longtime listeners know that I am frequently counseling

0:00:41.120 --> 0:00:43.479
<v Speaker 2>people not to do too much to get ready the

0:00:43.560 --> 0:00:47.760
<v Speaker 2>night before. Getting ready the night before tends not to

0:00:47.840 --> 0:00:51.920
<v Speaker 2>save time. It just spreads your getting ready over the

0:00:52.000 --> 0:00:56.760
<v Speaker 2>night and the morning too. The same philosophy extends to

0:00:56.800 --> 0:01:02.520
<v Speaker 2>the weekend. Your weekday's self will figure things out. Don't

0:01:02.560 --> 0:01:06.760
<v Speaker 2>sacrifice your leisure or family time on the weekend out

0:01:06.760 --> 0:01:09.319
<v Speaker 2>of some notion that this will somehow make the week

0:01:09.560 --> 0:01:15.880
<v Speaker 2>go perfectly. Nothing will make the week go perfectly. Rather

0:01:15.920 --> 0:01:18.520
<v Speaker 2>than bake elaborate meals on the weekend to reheat during

0:01:18.520 --> 0:01:23.080
<v Speaker 2>the week, you're better off just having really simple meals.

0:01:24.319 --> 0:01:26.679
<v Speaker 2>Now that said, it's always fun to have some sort

0:01:26.680 --> 0:01:30.880
<v Speaker 2>of little motivational treat on Monday morning. You are probably

0:01:30.920 --> 0:01:33.280
<v Speaker 2>not going to get up to make an elaborate breakfast.

0:01:34.240 --> 0:01:37.800
<v Speaker 2>But if you make muffins on Sunday night, you can

0:01:37.840 --> 0:01:40.399
<v Speaker 2>have one for dessert, and then the rest can be

0:01:40.440 --> 0:01:44.039
<v Speaker 2>eaten in the morning or mornings. If they last that long,

0:01:45.120 --> 0:01:48.760
<v Speaker 2>you'll wake up to something yummy. Of course, I know

0:01:48.840 --> 0:01:52.560
<v Speaker 2>this tip doesn't work for everyone. If I personally make

0:01:52.840 --> 0:01:56.120
<v Speaker 2>half a dozen monthins on Sunday, they will be eaten

0:01:56.640 --> 0:02:00.440
<v Speaker 2>by my horde of children long before Monday. I have

0:02:00.560 --> 0:02:02.960
<v Speaker 2>to hide one somewhere if I'm going to eat it

0:02:03.000 --> 0:02:07.600
<v Speaker 2>for breakfast. Some muffins are not necessarily that healthy, though

0:02:07.680 --> 0:02:09.680
<v Speaker 2>I'm sure you can come up with something more virtuous

0:02:09.720 --> 0:02:12.960
<v Speaker 2>if you want, and you could eat that muffin with

0:02:13.000 --> 0:02:15.600
<v Speaker 2>a hard boiled egg or fruit to make it a

0:02:15.639 --> 0:02:20.880
<v Speaker 2>more balanced meal. But making something quick, easy and fun

0:02:21.040 --> 0:02:23.680
<v Speaker 2>on Sunday night can be a way to make Monday

0:02:23.720 --> 0:02:28.120
<v Speaker 2>go a little smoother. Rather than figuring out breakfast, you're

0:02:28.160 --> 0:02:31.520
<v Speaker 2>grabbing a pre made breakfast. It's like a pop tart,

0:02:32.120 --> 0:02:34.920
<v Speaker 2>but better You could eat it on the road if

0:02:35.000 --> 0:02:36.560
<v Speaker 2>need be, which means that maybe you can get a

0:02:36.600 --> 0:02:40.320
<v Speaker 2>little extra sleep, given how many people have trouble falling

0:02:40.360 --> 0:02:44.960
<v Speaker 2>asleep Sunday night. That could be a good thing. There

0:02:45.040 --> 0:02:48.480
<v Speaker 2>is no need to overthink this. Use a mix if

0:02:48.520 --> 0:02:52.360
<v Speaker 2>you want, but try making yourself a little breakfast treat

0:02:52.360 --> 0:02:55.960
<v Speaker 2>on Sunday night and you just might find Monday mornings

0:02:56.000 --> 0:03:02.880
<v Speaker 2>a little sweeter before and during breakfast. In the meantime,

0:03:03.760 --> 0:03:08.080
