Wouldn't it be nice to wake up to a jar of already made breakfast?

Rolled oats made on the stovetop are so quick and such a thrifty and good for you way to fill up for the day. Give 'em a shot of maple syrup and a dash of chopped nuts and it's pretty darned delicious.

I Heart Cuppycakes

Gotta love Pinterest. We just saw this breakfast cupcake and weren't totally freaked out by it like the sandwich cake we recently spotted, too.

We were craving breakfast during lunchtime hours so we headed to Luci's Healthy Market Place, where breakfast is served all day. Luci's is that cute, cozy and colorful coffee shop/cafe/specialty market on the NW corner of 16th St. and Bethany Home. Parking can be tricky along the convenient street stalls, but you can always swing around and park in the back of the shopping complex, too.

Corner Bakery Cafe in Peoria is the setting for this week's Scrambled. While in the Arrowhead area recently, we wanted to head into Mike and Rhonda's The Place but were scared away by the long lines and decided to keep driving. We wanted some decent morning grub and didn't think we could wait too terribly long without beginning to turn into a cranky "I waited too long to eat" dining companion. A map search on a smartphone listed Corner Bakery Cafe, and even though we weren't sure exactly what it was, we thought we'd give it a go and find out.

We recently got a chance to swing by the Wy~Knot Cafe on 7th St., named after the owner's English Springer Spaniel, Wyatt. This is the spot that has housed Drip and Perc Up Coffee Cafe. Chef/Owner Jackie Percival took it over at the end of December and since then has relied on word of mouth to spread the word on her first full-service cafe.

We're hoping to spread the word, too: For a quaint and comfortable breakfast being served with outstanding service and food, head to this new cafe with the name that begs you to give it a go.

Upon first glance, these little candies really do look like a sunny side up egg with a pair of bacon strips. But, if you squint and get really close to the screen, you will realize that those bacon strips are salted round pretzel sticks.

Over here at the Phoenix New Times, we're big fans of flowcharts, like this one on Jackalope Ranch last week.

We found this one all about breakfast and thought it was clever and actually quite helpful when you've stumbled out of bed and know you should be eating something but just aren't quite set on what to make.

We know you can just get a plain ol' squeeze bottle and cut a large hole, what can we say, we are attracted to bold colors and the heat reistant tip.

We try to keep the gadgets in our home kitchen to a minimum but when we spotted this pancake pen, we knew we needed to have it.

We wanted to try the breakfast (now being served all day long) at Duck and Decanter, the place famous for their nooner sandwiches ordered by the codes and marks on the brown paper bag in which your order arrives. We love the kitchy cozy inviting atmosphere of the Camelback location with high ceilings and plenty of corners, nooks and small (and large) patio areas in which to hide out and work or just relax and eat your sandwich among friends. This place sort of feels like your little-bit crazy hippy uncle's house, the one who'll also make you just about any type of sandwich you're craving.

We were eager to jump on the breakfast cookie trend. We've seen the prepackaged ones here and there for years but given the other trend of home cooking, these are the real deal. It's so nice to wake up on those days that you've done some work ahead of time and know that breakfast is ready. Bon Appetit magazine featured this recipe from Jenny Rosenstrach of Dinner: A Love Story for her breakfast cookie.
