?Favorite "housekeeping" breakfast

Recommended Posts

Gotta feed 6 with a fridge, cooktop, microwave....time and clean-up count! What is your favorite?

If time and clean up are paramount:

Prep: hard boil eggs before trip (2 eggs/ person / day)

uncooked oatmeal (prefer thick rolled oats in bulk -get in 50# bag)

butter

honey

cinnamon

fruit of choice ( I prefer raisins and bananas)

milk, water and orange juice

one spoon, one glass and one bowl per person

Morning of:

Set out items, everyone serves/prepares/cleans up their own.

1) Drink glass of water (20 to 30 seconds) and then glass of orange juice. (20 to 30 seconds)

2) Peel first hard boiled egg and pop in mouth whole. (20 to 30 seconds)

3) While chewing first egg take bowl and add dry oatmeal (1 to 2 cups), butter, honey, cinnamon, raisins, fruit of choice

and milk. (30 seconds)

4) Let oatmeal mixture soak while peel and eat second egg. (60 seconds)

5) Eat oatmeal mixture, add extra milk if want more moisture. (5 minutes max)

6) Repeat oatmeal mix if need more to fill your tank up. (5 1/2 minutes)

7) Rinse out glass/bowl spoon, or use plastic/paper. ( 5 to 30 seconds)

8 1/2 minutes max (14 minutes if you are a slow 2 bowl eater) for a low odor (less bear problems), easy clean up, balanced breakfast that will stick with you, get you out the door faster and earlier. Add in a short trip to the outhouse and you are good for the day. Unlike a lot of other breakfasts, it will not gas your fellow fisherman out of the fish house or the deer/elk out of the area, not turn the outhouse into a toxic waste dump requiring a haz-mat suit to enter, not make you go thru a roll of toilet paper out in the woods, or make you suddenly have to quick run the boat or sled to shore and head for the bushes to unload!

Guys at first often balk at it, but once they try it a couple times most prefer it!

Time saved can mean extra time for sleep, or getting in more hunting or fishing. Also very cheap breakfast to make. If want something hot can boil hot water to add to bowl, but that adds some time.

Nothing worse than guys who intentionally pig out on greasy/spicy meals and then eat up prime fishing or hunting time and stink up tent, house/cabin and equipment with their spicy, greasy cooking and their upset, out of whack digestive systems!

This has been a opening day of fishing breakfast for a number of years. Note we use a toaster which you did not list. Bake your bacon ahead of time and chop it up when it cools. Keep in a good ziplock bag. When you want to cook take a small Pyrex bowl(3" in diameter)spray some Pam on the inside. Mix up one egg and put in bowl and toss in some bacon. Nuke for about a minute and toast a english muffin at the same time. Take a slice of cheddar cheese on toss it on the eggs and nuke for another 15-20 seconds or when the cheese melts. Butter up the english muffin and take one of the muffins and put it on the cheese side of the eggs. The eggs should come right out but if not just give the muffin a twist and it will release the egg from the bowl.These are way better than what you get at McDs. We will also use sausage or ham. Want to jazz it up add green pepper, jaloponos, onions or what ever floats your boat.

    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
    • I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.
    • reviving an old thread due to running into the same issue with the same year of house. not expecting anything from yetti and I already have replacement parts ordered and on the way.   I am looking for some input or feedback on how to replace the leaf springs themselves.    If I jack the house up and remove the tire, is it possible to pivot the axel assembly low enough to get to the other end of the leaf spring and remove that one bolt?   Or do I have to remove the entire pivot arm to get to it? Then I also have to factor in brake wire as well then. What a mess   My house is currently an hour away from my home at a relatives, going to go back up and look it over again and try to figure out a game plan.           Above pic is with house lowered on ice, the other end of that leaf is what I need to get to.   above pic is side that middle bolt broke and bottom 2 leafs fell out here is other side that didnt break but you can see bottom half of leaf already did but atleast bolt is still in there here is hub assembly in my garage with house lowered and tires off when I put new tires on it a couple months ago. hopefully I can raise house high enough that it can drop down far enough and not snap brake cable there so I can get to that other end of the leaf spring.
    • Chef boyardee pizza from the box!
