Speaker 1: Welcome to Before Breakfast, a production of iHeartRadio.
Speaker 2: Good Morning.
Speaker 1: This is Laura. Welcome to the Before Breakfast podcast. Today's
Speaker 1: tip is to make muffins on Sunday night. There is
Speaker 1: no point spending all of Sunday preparing for the week ahead.
Speaker 1: But a quick batch of muffins could be dessert on
Speaker 1: Sunday and a breakfast treat for Monday, a little present
Speaker 1: to start the week.
Speaker 2: Well. So longtime listeners know that I am frequently counseling
Speaker 2: people not to do too much to get ready the
Speaker 2: night before. Getting ready the night before tends not to
Speaker 2: save time. It just spreads your getting ready over the
Speaker 2: night and the morning too. The same philosophy extends to
Speaker 2: the weekend. Your weekday's self will figure things out. Don't
Speaker 2: sacrifice your leisure or family time on the weekend out
Speaker 2: of some notion that this will somehow make the week
Speaker 2: go perfectly. Nothing will make the week go perfectly. Rather
Speaker 2: than bake elaborate meals on the weekend to reheat during
Speaker 2: the week, you're better off just having really simple meals.
Speaker 2: Now that said, it's always fun to have some sort
Speaker 2: of little motivational treat on Monday morning. You are probably
Speaker 2: not going to get up to make an elaborate breakfast.
Speaker 2: But if you make muffins on Sunday night, you can
Speaker 2: have one for dessert, and then the rest can be
Speaker 2: eaten in the morning or mornings. If they last that long,
Speaker 2: you'll wake up to something yummy. Of course, I know
Speaker 2: this tip doesn't work for everyone. If I personally make
Speaker 2: half a dozen monthins on Sunday, they will be eaten
Speaker 2: by my horde of children long before Monday. I have
Speaker 2: to hide one somewhere if I'm going to eat it
Speaker 2: for breakfast. Some muffins are not necessarily that healthy, though
Speaker 2: I'm sure you can come up with something more virtuous
Speaker 2: if you want, and you could eat that muffin with
Speaker 2: a hard boiled egg or fruit to make it a
Speaker 2: more balanced meal. But making something quick, easy and fun
Speaker 2: on Sunday night can be a way to make Monday
Speaker 2: go a little smoother. Rather than figuring out breakfast, you're
Speaker 2: grabbing a pre made breakfast. It's like a pop tart,
Speaker 2: but better You could eat it on the road if
Speaker 2: need be, which means that maybe you can get a
Speaker 2: little extra sleep, given how many people have trouble falling
Speaker 2: asleep Sunday night. That could be a good thing. There
Speaker 2: is no need to overthink this. Use a mix if
Speaker 2: you want, but try making yourself a little breakfast treat
Speaker 2: on Sunday night and you just might find Monday mornings
Speaker 2: a little sweeter before and during breakfast. In the meantime,
Speaker 2: this is Laura. Thanks for listening, and here's to making
Speaker 2: the most of our pid. Thanks for listening to Before Breakfast.
