breakfast

Okay, let me start off by saying I am a true coffee lover!!!!! I do not start my day without one and I definitely enjoy more than one a day. Usually, I just add some milk and half a teaspoon of sugar. On the rare occasion, I buy the specialty creamers, you know the International Delight flavored...

One of my hubby's favorite weekend breakfasts are breakfast burritos. Basically, he gets a tortilla, scrambles a couple eggs, adds some refried beans, salsa, cheese, and chorizo sausage if we have it...and wraps it all up. It's probably not the most low calorie of breakfasts but he thinks it's...

I find videos like this fascinating and informative. Having lived in Australia, the USA and right now Japan, I can say that those three "stereotypical" representations of breakfast are reasonably accurate! Is your country on there? Would you say the video represents your country's average...

Many years ago when my children were small, I use to make a breakfast cookie that they all liked. It had eggs, of course, along with bacon and orange juice and wheat germ. They were easy to make, but because of the bacon in them, I stored them in the refrigerator. On mornings when we over...

I used to make homemade granola bars quite often when my kids were little. It was just a variation of a good, oatmeal, cookie recipe that I had. It was a healthier version than most cookies, so I just made them into bars with fruits and nuts and oats. The kids loved them. What do you think...

In my house we do not eat grits very often but when we do there is always some leftover. I hate to throw food out but leftover grits do not taste very good to me. I found a recipe to make oats and grits muffins which did not sound too good to me but I gave a try and was surprised that they...

I've been and will continue to be staying at a hotel for the next few weeks, and I've been taking advantage of the "free" continental breakfast offered each morning, since eating at restaurants and even buying microwavable food is starting to add up rather quickly. I was a bit surprised to see...

If I could have only 1 item for breakfast, I would choose some kind of cereal, preferably oatmeal or oat flakes. These can be fairly filling and would keep me satisfied for a few hours. Using raisins with the oats would be an added bonus. My next choice after oats would be 2 fried eggs or 2...

Have you ever made your own granola? It looks like it would be cheaper to make as opposed to buying it at the store, but I am not sure what all to put in mine. I know there is nuts and oats in it, but what else should I add?

I saw this video about what constitutes a complete breakfast (from the perspective of science!) and I thought it was pretty neat. They said yogurt and fruit is a good complete breakfast, particularly greek yogurt since it's higher in protein, but also contains carbs. Would you say that you...

I know plenty of people that advocate for both ways. My husband loves to have a big hearty breakfast as he's always saying that it gives him the rest of the day to burn it off. He's quite a strict three meals a day person with no snacks in between. I'm more of a grazer on the other hand so I...

Sometimes on a busy work night, breakfast for dinner is the perfect meal. Instead of meatloaf and mash potatoes, bacon, eggs and pancakes are just as satisfying and far less of a hassle. Does anyone here ever crave a hearty breakfast at times other than the morning? How often do you have...

do you like multi-grain cereals? There are quite a few of them you can buy either in boxes or bulk. Many of them have many many grains in them. I often don't like some of the ingredients in those mixes and have thought about buying several grains I do like separately and mixing my own.

Have you ever made your own granola? The basic recipe is pretty easy, but making it taste as good as the store bought kinds is another matter.

What are your favorite toppings or spreads when you make toast in the mornings? For me, I would probably say peanut butter is my main one. It's something that is always in our pantry as a staple. Sometimes I'll add honey with the PB for a sweeter kick, or sometimes I'll have strawberry jam...

I just finished eating my favorite breakfast, which is (currently) a poached egg on toast. I like that it's a fast meal, and doesn't take much longer to prepare than instant oatmeal, but is much more satisfying, and feels healthier. What's your favorite breakfast? Do you save it for special...

Any idea for breakfast starters? I'm pretty new at wanting to learn how to cook/bake and only know a few starter recipes. But these seem more suitable for midday or evening events. I'm going to a special breakfast event and we've been asked to give ideas, since it's going to be almost a sort of...

We know that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. What makes a complete breakfast for you? I would say that a glass of fruit juice or some fresh fruit like orange, grapefruit or apple, would be a good start to a breakfast. Following that, about 15 minutes or so afterwards, some...

When you cook breakfast (aka, you have time for more than a bowl of cereal or some fruit, etc.), what do you eat? Do you regularly cook sweet or savory food for breakfast? I know that breakfast is very different in different parts of the world. I am originally from India, and our traditional...

I've been up cleaning house for a couple hours now and the children are starting to stir. The first thing that comes out of their mouths is "I'm hungry" What to cook on a rainy Sunday? I'm thinking scrambled eggs, turkey bacon, angel biscuits, and turkey sausage gravy. No time to think now...
