Are you back at the books this week? Classes at the college where I teach started today, and I have to admit I’ve been scrambling (sshhh, don’t tell my students).

Of course I’m prepared for classes (wouldn’t do to ask for an extension this early in the term, would it?), but with a new cookbook in the works, I’ve been scrambling like crazy . . . and then just too plain tired to cook much that’s new for the HH and me. (And speaking of cookbooks, you’ll find even MORE breakfast recipes in my two books, Naturally Sweet & Gluten-Free and Living Candida-Free, plus loads of other recipes, too).

Well, it occurred to me that many of you with children–or those who are students yourselves, or even those of you getting back into the swing of the workforce after a languid summer of cottage-bound weekends, drinks on the patio and backyard gardening–might possibly be in the same boat as I am. I mean, who has time to cook breakfast with the sudden return of rushed backpacks and school lunches, leaving the house 15 minutes earlier to avoid the instant autumn traffic, or sneaking in a few extra zzzz’s when it’s getting darker and darker every morning as the alarm goes off? But I love breakfast and couldn’t imagine doing without it.

So I gathered together some of my best and easiest go-to breakfasts that provide a full and nourishing meal in less than 10 minutes. These are dishes you can cook up in that time, or else meals you can prepare in advance and then just grab to have on the road. Yes, I admit it: I’ve spent many a commute to work sipping on a green smoothie (though not talking on my cell phone, because we all know that’s just silly).

Here are 40+ tried-and-true quick breakfasts from me as well as a host of other bloggers. And hey, the time we make it through this list, it will be almost November–plenty of time to adjust to the new morning routine. By then, we might just feel like cooking breakfast again.
