31 Products For Quick, Easy Breakfasts
A two-slice slim toaster you'll DEFINITELY have room for on your kitchen counter. It fits on my minuscule countertop and has transformed my breakfast game because I don't have to turn on my oven just for a piece of breakfast toast. And a "Bread Buddy" dispenser made specifically for keeping sandwich bread fresh with this container that keeps it a bit more airtight than other methods (sorry, bread box). Plus, once the loaf is in there you can use the bag to pull up slices. Oh, and the reviewers have the receipts on it helping keep their bread fresh for much longer. An airtight Deli ProKeeper to help keep your cold cuts and sliced cheese fresher for much longer. No more going to make a breakfast sandwich and realizing your cheese has gotten all gross. (A tragedy!) A SwitchBot Smart Switch Button Pusher you can program so the coffee machine cuts on each morning before you can zombie-walk to the kitchen for the stuff you need to get you going before you even want to think about the delish smell of bacon. (It also works with Alexa and Google Home!) A breakfast sandwich maker that'll help you put your Bacon, Egg, and Cheese (or BEC) where your mouth truly is without running out to grab one someone else made for you. In under a mere five minutes, this bad boy will cook an egg, toast bread, warm precooked meat, and melt cheese FOR you. Oxo's portable Cold Brew Rapid Brewer if you guzzle coffee like it's your main salaried job where you have a corner office in the C-suite. It whips up cold brew in a mere five minutes, which is even better news if you've gotten sticker shock from Aeropress but need something that'll work both at home and on the go. (For the record, some reviewers call it "Aeropress 2.0" because they prefer the Oxo version.) Or a mason jar cold brew maker awaiting you in the fridge if you prefer the chilled stuff and would like to gulp it down ASAP. Psst, you can also use this to brew iced tea. A HyperChiller you can park directly below your *hot* coffee machine to cool down your caffeine in under a minute because you have homemade BECs to make! A super entertaining rolling egg dispenser to help you save some space in the fridge, put a new egg forward within your reach after you take out one, *and* help you quickly clock how many eggs you have left for your omelet. A rapid egg cooker will get your favorite breakfast *just* how you like it, rather than tossing improperly cooked eggs (for the millionth time). And while you're at it, save a few hard-boiled eggs for your packed lunch salad. A super efficient Oxo Tot grape cutter anyone with kids or just an appreciation for grapes (or grape tomatoes!) can really appreciate. A Baby Brezza Formula Pro Advanced for tired parents who could use the help. This mixes baby formula to the correct temp and consistency, so you don't have to and focus on feeding yourself some breakfast. Barebell's "Soft" Protein Bars for when you've gotta grab something and make it QUICK but delish. Each has 16 grams of protein in case you're the type who becomes a MONSTER without enough protein. I'm personally kinda obsessed with Cookie & Cream, and Cookie Dough flavors. A "Magic Tap" automatic drink dispenser so kids can help themselves to some OJ without them trying to pull the whole container out of the fridge (which has def spelled disaster in the past). It's battery-operated and spillproof! Plus, a cereal dispenser because you've had a few too many bleary-eyed accidents of toppled cereal boxes. And with this, your breakfast will stay fresher for longer than in improperly closed cereal bags. A rotating whisk blender to help you quickly beat eggs when making scrambled eggs for an army. BTW, I take mine low and slow. A personal blender that'll make whipping up a drinkable breakfast that much easier. No more dragging the full-size blender out of the kitchen cabinet or losing tasty gloops of smoothie when you transfer said breakfast to a drinking vessel. A self-stirring mug if you'd rather die than take your coffee black, but hate how long it takes your creamer and sugar to actually blend. An egg bite maker because you can't choke down any more instant oatmeal for like at least two weeks and you wake up craving Starbies egg bites. This'll help you make 'em on the cheap(er), customize them as you like, and freeze them to enjoy later. A microwave bacon cooker so you can say, "I ordered bacon for the table" like when you go to the diner with your family. Except with this, you won't have to babysit bacon on the stove to help prep breakfast. A reusable bacon grease absorber to get the extra grease off of your fave breakfast meat with a reusable kitchen tool! No, you don't need to go to the diner or in a drive-thru for an amazing first meal of the day. (Now repeat it as a mantra.) A pack of reusable produce-saving bags that'll come in handy to keep bananas fresh as a breakfast topping for toast, bananas, cereal, a protein bar. The world is your oyster when the fruit you brought three days ago isn't already relegated to "this is for banana bread" territory. A pancake batter dispenser and mixer can make squeezing out some mess-free pancakes easy as pie. Sometimes your family (and cravings) demand pancakes but this'll make making them feel like way less of a *thing*, A container of Cinnamon Toast Crunch Cinnadust in case you want to actually make the namesake in the oven. But it'll also be a delicious level up for oatmeal, yogurt, coffee drinks, and more! Some keto-friendly everything bagels at $2 a pop (unless you sign up for a subscription) to help you build a DIY breakfast sandwich at home instead of standing in line 20 minutes at the fancy bagel shop in your neighborhood. You pop 'em in the freezer once you get 'em so you can make your own Bagel Friday at home. A bagel guillotine in case you've wanted one since you saw Seth Cohen use it on The O.C. but now realize it could be the perfect motivation to do breakfast at home. Also, it's safer than using a regular knife! A teensy mini waffle maker that'll whip up a fresh Eggo-like waffle OR help you meal-prep like a pro with your own frozen waffles you can grab outta the freezer and pop into your toaster. A three-in-one avocado slicer if you haven't quite perfected the at-home avocado toast yet. My formula? A slice of toasted seeded bread, half an avocado, red pepper flakes, and a cup of romaine or baby spinach on top. A pack of instant cold-stirred foam caramel iced lattes can satisfy your "I need a fancy coffee" excuse for grabbing breakfast outside of the house. This comes out to just over $1/drink and reviewers say gives you a satisfying froth. A pack of French vanilla-flavored Nutpods that'll give your classic ole Folgers coffee a somebody-else-fixed-this taste — even if your body is like noooooo to actual dairy. It's an unsweetened dairy-free creamer made with almonds and coconuts in a formula that'll surely satisfy most folks' diet restrictions. It's also vegan, gluten-free, and keto- and Paleo-friendly. And a compact milk frother to help you whip up some super indulgent frothy coffees in a few mere seconds. And because it has a nice, handy stand for your countertop, you'll put it to work.

‘The only thing I regret is playing sh*t': Brandon Smith opens up ahead of Souths move, urges Roosters to spend his cash wisely
A candid Brandon Smith says his only regret at the Roosters was 'playing sh*t' as he prepares to make a mid-season switch to the Rabbitohs that was fuelled this week by a contract signing that had nothing to do with rugby league. There were reports the New Zealand international had signed something official on Wednesday, but it turns out that was actually a deal with Nando's to promote their new PERi mac and cheese that is about to land in Australia. 'It's been a rollercoaster few days, and I don't know if that photo was the catalyst for what's happened in this whole sh*t fight of a storm we're going through right now,' he told the NewsWire at a Nando's store in Sydney. 'I'm starting to get to the end of it and I think it'll all be sorted by the end of the week and we can all move on.' THE CONTRACT SAGA Speculation around Smith's future has dragged on for much of the year, with the injured hooker signing on March 19 to join the Rabbitohs for the next two seasons. But that's set to be fast-tracked with Smith having played his final game for the Roosters after joining them in 2023 from the Storm. He trained with the reserve grade side on Wednesday and said it was 'pretty weird' walking in and having to chat with Lindsay Collins and other players, with things becoming normal once the session started. It's been a hectic few months for the 'Cheese', who credits his nearest and dearest for helping him navigate his way through it all, which included him finding out about the early release while he was at Angus Crichton's wedding. 'I'm trying to hold myself together. I've got a great partner who's helping me out with everything,' he said. 'My partner Isabella has had to call the Bunnies while I'm doing all my other stuff, and she's been dealing with other people while I was at training yesterday. I'm very lucky I've got her by my side. 'All you can do is hold your head up high. I wasn't feeling great when I went into training yesterday, but you've got to do it.' RED, WHYTE AND BLUE Smith played 41 games for the Roosters but there were always question marks over whether he truly fitted in and where he would play once he returned from injury given Connor Watson has done so well at hooker. Coach Trent Robinson spoke with Smith on Wednesday to explain why the club wanted to move him on now to save cash, with Smith urging the club to spend the money wisely and to invest in their talented players coming through. 'I told Robbo yesterday that I understand it completely because I'm probably still another eight weeks away,' the injured star said. 'The Roosters have such a great crop of young players coming through at the moment in Naufahu Whyte and Blake Steep, and I hope to God that my money is going to re-signing these guys and not bringing someone in. 'If Naufahu Whyte or Blake Steep hit the open market, there could be some dramas with the Roosters trying to keep them because Blake is a 19-year-old talent that you don't see very often and Naufahu has been one of the best props in the game. 'This is a business, and I get it. They're probably getting enough value out of Connor and Zach Dockar-Clay at the hooker role, so my money can be spent elsewhere. 'The club has done a lot for me over my three-year tenure, so I don't have any qualms with it. 'The only thing that has been hard is that it all came suddenly. I had just woken up from a recovery party after a wedding for one of the Roosters players and was getting calls from my manager sending me the articles coming out.' NO REGRETS Smith gave an infamous podcast interview back in 2021 about his desire to win a premiership with the Roosters while he was still playing for the Storm, and while that never eventuated, he made it clear the past few years hadn't been a failure. 'I've got no regrets coming to the club,' he said. 'I probably regret not playing better for them and not winning a premiership for them. I regret all that, but that's part of footy. How many signings go to a club and win premierships? 'If I could, I would still do the exact same move that I did. Well, maybe I wouldn't have done a podcast like I did last time when I left my club (the Storm). 'But I take nothing back. Trent Robinson is a great coach, they've got great people and I've made best friends at the club. 'The only thing I regret is playing sh*t.' THE WAYNE TRAIN All roads now lead to South Sydney – the Roosters' fiercest rivals – with Smith set to finally link up with master coach Wayne Bennett after a false start a few years ago when he told him he would join him at the Dolphins. 'I dudded Wayne and I broke his trust because I told him I was going there,' he said. 'Two years down the track, he's still interested in me. That shows me he wants me. Every chat I've had with him over the past two days, he's been outstanding. 'The feeling of not being wanted is bad, but being wanted is better.' THE MIDDLE MAN The only question now is where Smith will play for the Rabbitohs, with the 2020 premiership winner not fussed whether he plays hooker, lock or off the bench. Cameron Murray will be the lock when he returns from injury next year, while Peter Mamouzelos was playing well before he hurt his elbow at Magic Round. Smith's versatility is one of his biggest strengths, and he'd gladly return as an impact player off the bench once he finally gets the green light to come back from his devastating knee injury. 'I'm 28 going on 29, so this contract isn't about me,' he said. 'It's about my career and me wanting to win games and put the club before myself. 'I want to win games whether I play lock or hooker or prop. Whatever Wayne needs, I'll do it. 'I'm not set on being a hooker and I'm not set on being a lock. I'd play on the bench if I had to. I just want to enjoy my football again and get back to form.'

Dejected Brandon Smith breaks his silence on shock Rabbitohs move: 'It doesn't feel like I'm very wanted'
Brandon Smith appeared dejected and a little frustrated as he opened up about the bombshell news that he was verging on a mid-season move to the Rabbitohs on Wednesday night. The 28-year-old premiership winner, who joined the Sydney Roosters back in 2023, had been set to jump ship to their rivals, the Bunnies, in 2026. But following secret talks in the last three weeks, that move has been fast-tracked. Smith, speaking on the bye-round podcast, appeared as though he had been blindsided by the move, revealing he had received a call from his manager in the morning, telling him that a development in contract talks had emerged overnight. Having also seen plenty of headlines flying around on Wednesday morning, Smith then received a call from Roosters boss Trent Robinson and said the senior coach appeared shocked by the news too. Smith looks now set for an immediate exit with both clubs on the verge of finalising the deal, but they are understood to be haggling over around $40,000, according to The Daily Telegraph. The Roosters are demanding $200,000 for the star hooker, but the Souths, constrained by their salary cap, are unwilling to budge on a fee of $160,000. Having attended his team-mate Angus Crichton's wedding on Monday, Smith reflected on a rollercoaster week on the The Bye Round Podcast, telling footy great James Graham the way in which the news had come out about his impending exit was 'a strange one'. Smith, affectionately known as 'Cheese' by his team-mates, was also questioned on whether he feels like he's played his last game for the Roosters, replying: 'It definitely looks that way by the conversations I'm having and articles I'm seeing. 'It doesn't seem like I'm very wanted... I just... I don't know.' He was also pressed on whether he'd spoken to anyone from the club regarding the situation. 'Robbo [Trent Robinson] rang me on the way here,' he replied. 'It was a good conversation, it was nice. He was like: "Mate, we're just trying to save some money". 'It was direct, but he was also pretty surprised by how it came about today.' Cheese is now part of an exodus of players who are set to leave the Roosters this year, with Dom Young also set to be shifted to free up salary cap space, while Sandon Smith is in the shop window. During the podcast, Smith appeared reserved and downbeat compared to his usual lighthearted self, as he opened up on what the immediate future looks like for him while he is still contracted to the Roosters. Having been ruled out with a knee injury at the start of the season, he added he'd be heading back into training this week to work with the reserve-grade side this week. He is due back from the injury in around six weeks. 'I guess it's going to be hard to go into training,' he said, noting also that the Roosters have a bye this week. 'I've still got to do that. We're meant to have a week off. I'm training with the reserve-grade side this week. 'I guess it's going to be a weird feeling going into the club. It's not going to happen overnight. It can't. They're not going to be able to draw up a contract overnight. 'No one is answering their phone at the moment as well...' 'It's going to be an awkward one,' he added. The 28-year-old opened up on the moment he found out that he could be off to the Bunnies and expressed worries to his partner about having to move. 'Obviously, she [his partner] didn't get any time to prepare for that news. It's just all s*** for everyone around you that has had to read that news and they're expected to just get up and ship out with you. 'Imagine if I was going to Canberra!' Cheese then admitted he 'didn't feel like he had autonomy' over the move and confirmed to the podcasters that the Roosters would be looking to play him in the reserves for the remainder of the season, should he stay on with the tricolours. Charlie White asked him: 'I heard the Chooks in the last couple of days told you that you were going to play reserve grade for the rest of the year if you do come back as well?' Smith replied: 'Yeah, pretty much. I think so. I think they told my manager that. I don't know if they were real words or empty words. 'When I heard that news, I felt like I wanted to dig my teeth in. "I'll get paid $900,000 to sit in the reserve grade, I don't care". But that is not the point - now I feel like s***.' It is interesting that the Roosters would let someone with the skills and experience of Smith go, especially while they're still in the hunt for finals. But it signals that Sydney are looking to free up some salary space to land Daly Cherry-Evans from Manly, with the Roosters the hot favourites to land the half-back. Speaking on the podcast, Briath Anasta told Fox Footy that he felt Smith was 'blindsided' by the move. Journalist Michael Carayannis replied: 'You can see the disappointment and even the sense of embarrassment. That was tough to watch and listen to.'
