Make your mornings a little less hectic with these overnight breakfast recipes. Prep the night before and enjoy a warm, comforting meal in the morning.

This no-brainer meal can be one of the tastiest concoctions. All you need is a little imagination. A wonderful way to come up with a new family favorite. Take any meat and vegetables you have in your fridge and start sauteing! Add a pinch of your favorite sauce like soy sauce or your favorite spice like curry. The options are unlimited.

2 cups grain (rice, barley, noodles, pasta, couscous, etc.)
1 pound meat or vegetarian protein (chicken, pork, beef, tofu, beans, etc.)
4 cups chopped vegetables (carrots, peppers, peas, broccoli, etc.)
3 tablespoons olive or canola oil
1/2 teaspoon Adobo seasoning or garlic salt
Pour 2 Tb. oil into large skillet over medium heat. Saute veggies using firm, longer-cooking ones first (onions, carrots), and cook for 2-3 minutes. Follow with medium-firm (zucchini, peppers) for 2-3 minutes, then ending with softer ones with a final saute for 2-3 minutes.
Sprinkle all with Adobo or salt and spoon cooked grain on top. Lower heat, cover and simmer for 5-10 minutes.
Meanwhile, for meat or tofu, saute in 1 Tb. oil until well done, sprinkling with garlic salt and a dash of soy sauce if desired.
When meat is done, stir into rice and veggie mixture and serve.

What's the secret ingredient in these cakes? Pudding mix. It not only adds flavor but it gives the cake a richer, creamier texture. No one will know your secret ingredient!
The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.
