Breakfast woes

[Sparticle]

Let me start by saying we're living in an RV and cooking outside for most meals, but we can re-heat a little in the mornings when it's not hot.

I'm really sick of everything normal for breakfast and need ideas. We don't eat meat. Here is what we eat to death and are sick of

bread (loaf, biscuits, pancakes, waffles etc)
Eggs (scrambled and fried)
oatmeal and grits
fried potatoes

any ideas

Once in awhile, if we are in a hurry or it's extra hot, we pop open jars of peaches or applesauce, make toast or cinnamon toast and a glass of milk. My kids love it.

Homemade granola. Standard summer breakfast here.

rice/ rice pudding make a stew and eat it all day. Breakfast wasn't always that different from lunch or dinner. cottage cheese and fruit. yougert w/ granola/ grape nuts on top. egg salad tuna fish.

I second rice puddin! Ate that a lot as kid. I lvoe it.

Captain Crunch? Sorry, couldnt resist. How about some other grains? Buckwheat, millet, .... All kinds of nuts and fruit though unless you grow your own, its not cheap.

In places like Turkey, people eat pita type bread, tomato wedges, green bell pepper chunks, olives and yogurt or feta cheese.

Leftover pizza is always good for breakfast.

Yogurt and fruit.

Gorp (trail mix)

Or skip breakfast and do brunch later

Fruit and yogurt or kefir is a fav. of mine. I also really like bob's red mill 10 grain hot cereal...it is sooo much better than oatmeal.

Oh I second yogurt and fruit <3

I've been baking biscuits most weeks because they are easier than bread and doing breakfast sandwiches. I usually rehydrate a little tvp and cook it with the eggs. Once in a while I splurge on veggie sausage patties from the store.

If you have a little crockpot this wheat cereal is a spin on the oatmeal idea http://viggiesveggies.com/?p=672

I do a lot of green smoothies as well in the blender. I use OJ, frozen fruit, and whatever greens I have on hand (spinach or kale are best IMO)

[byexample]

Fritata and Quiche are both nice alternatives to fried and scrambled eggs. And quiche is pretty good cold. Both are delightful with veggies and/or cheese. I like a quiche with chilis, onions, & cheese. Ummm.

Another idea I have for you is breakfast enchiladas. Roll up scrambled eggs, cheese, and fried potatoes in a warmed corn tortilla and smoother in enchilada sauce (red or green). Very tasty alternative to a traditional breakfast.

As far as pancakes go try substituting nut flour for 1/2 of the regular flour and you get a very tasty alternative pancake. I like mine with pecan flour and blueberries. Yummy!

My favorite breakfast is a tomato sandwich. Two slices whole wheat bread, mayo, garden fresh tomato slices, salt and pepper. 'Nuff said!

Also can't go wrong with PB&J.

I just eat whatever I feel like. It dosen't have to be "breakfast" food. Today was cold steak. Then after tending things ourside- cucumbers with sour cream. I graze all day.

Mmm such good ideas. Before moving to the RV I ate Granola and yogurt every day. My skin got very itchy and after some research I found out it was because I ate too much yogurt, fermented foods and vinegar. I can't cut out the vinegar, so I cut the yogurt.

Today we ate left over humous and pita and that was good cold. I LOVE these ideas. The blender idea sounds good, but not enough power to run that.

We do breakfast burritos a lot with fried potatoes, but sick of that too! I think my body just doesn't want bread, cheese, eggs and potatoes for a while - at least for breakfast.

I think I will get a small single pane window and put over the hay box cooker to cook some granola. I can get raw milk down the street. Sadly my solar cooker was killed by the dogs - guess the granola smelled too good and they broke into it.

Do you have a recipe you like for rice pudding? I love the Indian version of it - Kheer

Mother-in-law making the big trip in to town today to get our groceries, adding this to the list. Thanks

You might try spicing up your potatoes by making hash browns and adding grated parsnips and carrots to them. You could always turn your eggs and bread into french toast. I don't know about breakfast but coleslaw and cheese makes a killer sandwich.

We've Doctored our pancakes every way I can think of, whole wheat, wheat bran, nuts etc.

NEVER heard of pecan flour, that's going on the list too! Wonder where I'd get that here though.

I have been fighting with the closest stores (30 min one way) just to get decent Kale, Collards and Real apple cider vinegar. It's over an hour to get anything "exotic" that used to be my routine diet. We're building our homestead now and growing food I like is top of the list.

Rice pudding is easy....no "recipe" needed.
I always cook extra rice just so I can make rice pudding.

To a big mixing bowl-full of cooked rice (hot or cold, doesn't matter), add a couple eggs, a spoonful of vanilla, couple dashes of cinnamon and whatever spices you want (I like nutmeg or ginger, too!) and enough milk to make it soupy. Add raisens if desired. (It's sort of like making eggnog and pouring it over the rice....same thing).

Microwave on high for about 8 to 12 minutes, stirring every 3 or 4 minutes. It thickens more as it cools, too.

Good hot or cold!

I'm terribly predictable: two slices of cold toast with butter, one with cheese or turkey, one with jam or nutella and a cup of strong black tea with French vanilla coffee creamer. But when I cook rice for dinner, I always cook a cup more to warm up the next day with milk, cinnamon and dried fruits for a breakfast treat. Works like a charm, especially on cold days.

Nothing satisfies like bacon.
