What's For Breakfast? Please don't say toast....
 
I'm just all out of ideas for breakfast and I need to eat so I can take medicine. Yuck. It's difficult to think of something good to eat. What are you having this morning?

Kris in MI 10/07/11 07:59 AM

A fried egg with a piece of toast (I'm trying to teach myself to eat protein for breakfast rather than just carbs--toast, muffin, bagel, etc).

Jo 10/07/11 08:05 AM

I made fresh pear sauce, so I hope we have waffles with bacon and maple syrup. We had it the other day, when I made a batch of pears sauce and it was so good.
We got lots of pears from our tree this year and I don't want to waste them.

soulsurvivor 10/07/11 08:12 AM

I don't have any bread to make toast. :awh:

Grandmotherbear 10/07/11 08:20 AM

Have you pancake mix? I buy the just add water kind, but add eggs, buttermilk, wheat germ, flxseed and soy or quinoa flour to make optimal nutrition and still have GFB agreeable to eat it.
Yogurt? Fruit to whiz in blender instant Smoothie w/milk? Pizza? Leftover Chinese food? Slice of pie with ice cream? Hard boiled eggs? (Only way I can eat eggs w/o a bread product) Even a bowel of the kids cereal will help. Or pull out the peanut butter jar and eat a heaping tablespoosnful off the spoon.
Edited to add we got Pepperidge Farm Pumpkin Cinnamon Swirl bread on a 2 for 1 special @ Publix so that's what we are using for French Toast this A.M>

Alice In TX/MO 10/07/11 08:21 AM

I stopped eating most carbs, so breakfast was a scrambled egg with chorizo.

lll 10/07/11 08:28 AM

I'm going to tell you the same thing I have told my husband. You don't have to just eat breakfast foods for breakfast. Now I'm not saying eat a 5 course meal but just the other day he had a sandwich with leftover turkey. He said it was the best breakfast he's had in days. He got out of the boring rut.

pheasantplucker 10/07/11 08:33 AM

fried mush

vicki in NW OH 10/07/11 08:35 AM

An egg and gluten-free toast with blueberry jam and almond milk.

Cornhusker 10/07/11 08:40 AM

A dab of turkey sausage browned with onion and mushroom, one egg scrambled into the mix, then I put the whole mess into a small tortilla and brown it until it's a little crispy and a cup of skim milk.
Light but seems to hold me through the morning until break time.

sewsilly 10/07/11 08:58 AM

Left over cheesy bread sticks (made from homemade pizza dough) and scrambled eggs.

stamphappy 10/07/11 09:08 AM

mmm, mmm, good----cold leftover pizza or fried chicken!

SunsetSonata 10/07/11 09:09 AM

You know what tastes much, much better than pancakes....

Crepes. YUMMY and easy: 1 cup flour, 1 1/2 cup milk, 3 eggs, 1/2 tsp salt, dash vanilla. Delicious topped with jam, or syrup, or even just powdered sugar. I don't even roll mine up, but people stuff with everything from fruit to cottage cheese.

Ardie/WI 10/07/11 09:12 AM

I'm gonna try some soda crackers before taking my meds, hoping that might settle my tummy down.

ErinP 10/07/11 09:15 AM

Scrambled eggs with sausage mixed it, thrown into tortillas and out the door we go. ;)

We try to avoid most carbs at breakfast, too. It's a good way to set yourself up for a blood sugar crash around 10AM...

andabigmac 10/07/11 09:16 AM

Leftover chicken and vegetable soup from dinner and a few animal cookies that I swiped from the goats.

huzzyjr 10/07/11 09:17 AM

I'm not a breakfast food eater either. I eat whatever is left over from the day before. Or grilled cheese, quesidilla, summer sausage and cheese with crackers and sweet pickles.

farmwoman59 10/07/11 09:17 AM

Fried okra..

Suzyq2u 10/07/11 09:18 AM

wakey wakey, eggs and bakey


cider 10/07/11 09:22 AM

Cottage cheese and peaches.

Rainy 10/07/11 09:34 AM

I fixed my son bacon and toast, before he left for school

jen74145 10/07/11 09:43 AM

Coffee isn't breakfast?!

Bob's Red Mill makes a great hot cereal; Mighty Fine Hot, I think it's called. :) I eat it plain or with an egg cooked on top. DH sweetens his.

I try to keep soup in the fridge, so there's always lentils or chicken soup if someone needs food but doesn't want to cook.

A few cheese cubes and an apple. Peanut butter, with or without anything else. Eggs in all their forms. A handful of almonds and grapes to match. Veggies and hummus. Leftover baked sweet potato is a favorite with my husband.

Oat Bucket Farm 10/07/11 09:49 AM

An egg, slice of bacon, and a slice of whole wheat toast (or dark rye toast) with real butter. That's the standard breakfast around here.

Elffriend 10/07/11 09:49 AM

Add me to the list of people who don't/can't do carby foods in the mornings. I rarely have typical breakfast foods for breakfast. Today I'll probably have leftover chicken salad.

jwal10 10/07/11 09:59 AM

1/2 a pumpkin muffin with black walnuts and butter and as always yogurt.... with fresh strawberries this morning at 0500. I had to put a hoop over the strawberries because of the rain. The best tasting strawberries ever....James

Pamela 10/07/11 10:08 AM

Scrambled eggs mixed with bacon, green pepper, tomato, onion and mushrooms !

Good heavens no... its all I can do to make coffee before coffee! Theres no way I could fix breakfast till the coffee has had time to kick in. ;)

atobols 10/07/11 10:13 AM

We try to limit grains.

Today's breakfast was 2 eggs and a banana for one kid, 2 eggs and greek yogurt for the other kid, 2 eggs for DH and 2 eggs and the remaining greek yogurt for me. That's a fairly normal breakfast for us.

I think we're in the same boat. Course, mine also often includes hungry people who are hopefully eyeing me, hinting that it sure is chilly out, do we have any XYZ? Or, in a small voice, "Mommy, want brekkist. Sit at table. Make eggs? Juice?"

Eh, could be worse. :)

davel745 10/07/11 10:36 AM

Han and eggs with cooked bread.

ai731 10/07/11 11:40 AM

Home-made cranberry muffins. I bake a dozen muffins 2 or 3 times/week. They are low-fat and use honey/maple syrup instead of sugar. I have two for breakfast almost every morning (they're small). DH has toast for breakfast and takes 2 muffins to work to eat at morning coffee break. I switch between cranberry, blueberry, rhubarb, and zucchini. I'm lucky that DH & I are both the kind of people who don't mind eating the same thing day after day! Blueberry are DH's favourite, cranberry are mine :)

Shamrock 10/07/11 01:35 PM

Leftover dinner?

NickieL 10/07/11 02:19 PM

oatmeal cookie...

GREENCOUNTYPETE 10/07/11 02:27 PM

the other day i had spare ribs, and applesauce.... late last week we had pizza, well you did if you got to it first. we play by the you can eat it anytime rules, so leftovers make a lot of a.m. appearances

mamita 10/07/11 02:29 PM

don't hit me......but peanut butter toast. I know...it's pitiful. I WISH I had some over easy eggs, rye toast, homemade hash browns, homemade sausage, and a bit of sausage gravy over homemade biscuits. but.....I had.........stupid toast. lol

Ruby 10/07/11 02:50 PM

I made a big batch of chicken taco soup, with two kinds of beans and white meat chicken. I've been having a bowl of that for breakfast.

soulsurvivor 10/07/11 06:11 PM

I made it through without eating breakfast and just drank a lot of water. I appreciate all the really great ideas and these give me some planning time before I have to do this all over again in the morning. :o

Maggie 10/07/11 07:02 PM

LOVE the wakey, wakey, eggs & bakey video!!!

Grandmotherbear 10/07/11 08:42 PM

Cook bacon till it's mostly done but still flooby, then line greased muffin tins with it. Break an egg into each cup, add a spoon of tortilla sauce. Fill your other muffin tins with muffins. All go in the oven together. The eggs should be done about the same time as the muffins.
Toad in the hole- melt butter in a skillet and use a drinking glass to cut a circle out of the middle of a slice of bread. Throw the toast in the skillet and break and egg into the middle of the skillet. Best done over medium I think.
The video for wakey wakey never downloaded for me.
