With a family of 8 to get ready and out the door in the morning once school starts there is no question that mornings can be chaotic! I have discovered that keeping our morning routines simple and having Jimmy Dean Simple Scrambles® Breakfast Cups on hand for breakfast makes everything smoother.
Create a simple routine
Mornings are NOT the time I want to deal with a lot of stress and complicated routines. I have taught our children to make the mornings easy and simple. We have re-organized areas in our home to keep shoes, socks, backpacks, and homework in the same spot every day. This keeps us from scrambling for the one sock no one can find, or homework that is lost.
Have a good breakfast
A good breakfast is essential for both my kids and myself! Jimmy Dean Simple Scrambles Breakfast Cups are an easy way to make the mornings flow a little smoother. They are made with real eggs, quick & fresh. This is a fast breakfast for those mornings that are slightly more chaotic. The kids can even take them to go in the car.
I stock up at my favorite grocery store, HEB! They are located in the refrigerated section next to the breakfast sausage & bacon. You can get $1 off when you buy two using this digital coupon.

Think ahead
Smooth morning routines are all about thinking ahead. Little things like stocking up on Jimmy Dean Simple Scrambles Breakfast Cups can make all the difference in the morning.
We do as much prep work the night before. Double-check that everything is in its place for the morning, lunches are packed, outfits picked out, and in bed at a regular time.
Teach the kids the routine & to help themselves
With six children to get out the door, I need them to know the routine and help themselves for the things they need in the morning. I love watching my children help each other gathering all the things they need for school and helping each other get breakfast.
My boys have even started making Jimmy Dean Simple Scrambles breakfast cups for their little sisters!
I am actually kind of excited to get back in the groove of our morning routine!
Stacie says
We keep these and their breakfast sandwiches for breakfast all the time on school days. They’re so much better and more filling than cereal.
Tara Pittman says
These would be great for my boys for an easy breakfast. I love how easy they are too make.
Meagan Ivie says
What a quick, delicious, and filling breakfast! Something my kids can make on their own! Love it.
Valerie says
Those are great reminders. Those Simple Scrambles sound good and would be so convenient to have on hand, even for busy adults.
Celebrate Woman Today says
Having a daily routine is a huge help to everyone! We are so much happier when every single person follows their habits and learned routines.
Sherry says
These are so easy to make. It’s great that the kids can make breakfast by themselves. A hearty meal ready in minutes.
Susan Carraretto says
I can’t imagine getting that many kids out the door in the morning… but those breakfast cups sure would help. I only have to get 2 kids to school and that is enough. LOL
Catalina says
The routine is so important when you have a family with little kids! Thanks for these tips!
Ruth I says
This looks delicious! I need to stock up with this too. Breakfast is the most important meal after all!
Diane Surface says
They are super convenient and very good. We love them for quick “out the door” mornings too. 👍
Kelly Tomlinson says
I hate to get up any earlier than I have to, but my girls love Jimmy Dean sausage for breakfast! So a few mornings a week I’ll give in so I’m more confident they’d had a hearty meal before school.

I’ve got to try these with my boys. Mornings can sometimes be a little rough, ways to make it easier are always welcome.
