Easy breakfasts for one

Ever get tired of the same old things for breakfast?  Cereal one day, toast with jelly another, or maybe even (gasp) head to the donut shop!  Stop, don't do it!  A while back I put together all my recipes for breakfast in one easy list.  As you can see I have listed several variations for the same recipe, so I don't get tired of the same things, but I have to be honest, I don't get bored with these.  I know what you're thinking...I don't have time to fix breakfast before work, but if I have time, you have time.  Most of these will cook while you are getting dressed or fixing your hair (just don't forget about it).  Some of them you can prepare in a plastic container and cook at work if that is possible for you.  Whatever you do, DON'T SKIP BREAKFAST!
