What's for Breakfast?

What does your usual get-up-and-go consist of? For me it's coffee and rice cakes (because I actually like them, not any other reason) with hummus and red peppers or tomatoes or cream cheese. The kids get a choice of cereal, toaster tarts (homemade from time to time), muffins, hard boiled eggs, bagels, oatmeal, grits or toast.

Weekends bring pancakes, waffles, bacon, sausage, fried potatoes and the like.

      Mine might as well be. I notice the emoticons aren't working here. Dan needs more coffee too.

      Coffee makes my eyes open, my brain purr and I find I keep making um um sounds as I drift into the morning from my deep sleep and dreams. I am not usually hungry early in the day, but if I wake up to the smell of bacon or pancakes cooking (I miss my Daddy!) then I find the aroma brings out a primal response from my stomach.

    Southern pecan coffee was the brew of the morning.
    Goes down oh sooo smooth.
    It’s what’s required in the morning, per my brain.

    Lately, I've been addicted to Brown Cow Farm, Cream on Top Yogurt. I absolutely love the taste of the maple flavored one. Oh....and an Americano.

      Fage is a brand of Greek yogurt. I've also had Oikos, but it's not *quite* as thick.

    it depends on the day of the week. If it is the weekend then it is sausage, bacon, fried potatoes, gravy, biscuits and eggs. If it is during the week my hubby (has to leave the house at 330 in the morning) grabs a cup of coffee and a sausage biscuit down the road. My kids eat what ever they want for breakfast usually left overs even though I keep breakfast fods here they use them for a snack. While on vacataion I found a really good chocolate filled crossiant. I am going to have to fine the recipe for it. It had two rows of chocolate and chocolate chips in top of a crossiant. I got addicted to having them and a cup of hot chocolate in the morning.

    Leftover shrimp wonton soup broth, (the shrimp were removed) 1/2 cup of coffee at room temperature and a cold coke. In a few days I will prepare eggs on milk toast and toast my late Mother, for this was her go-to food when she needed to feel restored. I wouldn't mind chipped beef gravy. I could easily pick out the meat. That sounds rather good. Later on mashed potatoes and pureed vegetable soup with splash of heavy cream. I use it on the potatoes like a gravy. It is very good

      Cream cheese and sliced tomato? Ever add bacon (if you eat it of course) because it sounds very tasty. Good morning!

    A huge glass of Coca-Cola. Now headed for the kitchen and the coffee pot! Eggs fried over light with buttermilk pancakes, topped with unsalted butter and some maple syrup. Oh, haven't eaten this is a while. WIsh I had a few slices of bacon and a sausage, fried dark and juicy. I don't even need bread. But later today I will be baking 2 loaves of bread.

    Show up in ten hours and I'll share a slice with you!

    If I have a "real" breakfast it is usually pancakes or waffles with Bacon and Diet Coke or OJ. If I have a "light" breakfast it is often a muffin (I love Butter Rum muffins). However, most of the time I don't really do breakfast.

      Um, when I was at GHW P Kitchen, I made banana rum bread pudding every other day. We used brioche and having never eaten it before working there, I fell in love with this dish. Especially the rum cooked bananas.

    When I was ten years old, Daddy taught me how to prepare his secret Cream Chipped Beef. Sometimes he would refer to it as Chipped Beef Gravy. I cannot share his secret recipe with anyone, because I told him I would not show it to anyone other than family, but what I will share is that you must, after adding the evaporated milk, be sure to let it boil for a full seven minutes. Turn the heat down and stir it almost constantly, in order to be certain no one eating it will have problems later. Cannot elaborate anymore than this. I will saw his recipe is the best I have ever tried.

    I normally never do breakfast until I've been up for at least a couple hours. If I don't wait, the food just don't set good. Been this way all my life but trying to learn to eat three meals a day and eat the right stuff too.

    I honestly could do breakfast, three meals a day. I love eggs! ;-D

      Theresa, This looks wickedly good!

      My favorite breakfast is "Sunrise on the Desert".
      My dad taught me this one. (It's a soldier's breakfast)
      Skillet on medium.
      Butter (lots) melted.
      2 slices of bread with a yolk size hole in the middle.
      Put in pan to toast over the butter.
      Crack eggs and put into the hole in the bread.
      Fry until spatula turnable.
      Turn and continue to cook until desired hardness of yolk.
      Flip onto plate and salt and pepper to taste.

      This is also great when camping. No need to toast bread etc.
