You can make up some "instant topping servings" if you're in a rush in the morning, just measure out 1/4 c. raisins with 1/4 tsp cinnamon in separate baggies and you have a "no thought" breakfast. (same goes for the steamed veg-- I have the brocc/carrot/cauliflower measured into 1/2 cup servings in the freezer so it's ready to go in the am.)
Also: you can easily fry or scramble the egg in the savory section, but really, poached is the way to go-- the runny yolk really adds something.
