A light and balanced meal that prepare us the day ahead of us.

Nowadays due to our busy schedules, we barely have time for our breakfasts before breezing out of our homes.

We should have a fine breakfast with our family at least once a week, if not everyday.

Here are some suggestions.

Do you make a quick visit to your local shop, or do you just abort the cooking?

Allice Henneman, an Extension Educator of University of Nebraska, Lincoln, prepared a list of substitute ingredients you can use if you realize you are short of one of the ingredients.

Here is the link (pdf, html).
