What's for breakfast?

[Calypso 464]

One day, my husband and his officemate had a conversation about breakfast. My husband commented that oatmeal, bagels and cereal are starting to get less appealing to him and he wished that he'd have assorted flavors for breakfast. Then his officemate seriously replied, "That's why I have five different types of cereal at home."

So what do you guys make for breakfast? In the Philippines, we would eat rice morning, noon and nighttime. Heck, we even make pork adobo and rice for breakfast! I know I cannot do that since my husband won't eat anything heavy at the start of the day.

Feel free to share some recipes, doable ideas and websites where you get breakfast concepts from.

If you live in the Philippines you will eat rice for breakfast with eggs or bacon. They eat rice for breakfast, lunch and dinner and the Filipinos are very skinny - go figure. I did eat rice all 3 meals and I lost weight. The reason is that you walk every where unlike the US where you hop in the car to go anywhere.

I like rice, spam and eggs from Burger King or McDonalds. Or if I am hungry the Spam, portuguese sausage, spam, eggs and rice is good. Or in your case a fruit smoothie is good too.

We usually eat cereal or toast with coffee or hot chocolate for breakfast during the week. During the weekends it's a whole different deal since we don't have to go to work. I usually make omelettes, which are pretty much eggs with whatever else you want to put in them like ham, bacon, sausage, peppers, mushrooms, etc. I also like to make pancakes, waffles, crepes which you can have with fruit or veggies or whatever else you want to put in them. Breakfast burritos are also a good option, same for sandwiches with different breads like croissants, English muffins or even bagels. Another idea would be making french toast and vary it each day with different types of eggs on the side, scrambled, over easy or sunny side up. Heck, even in Mexico and Colombia people like to eat beans for breakfast, nothing wrong with that.

As much as I love rice I don't think I could eat it for breakfast, lunch AND dinner!

Our week-day breakfasts are usually pretty simple... my husband has a banana and a bagel and I have a cup of coffee/chocolate and a toast with jelly or something.

Since neither of us work during the weekend we have more time to make something... we usually have either eggs with bacon, cereal, biscuits, croissant sandwiches or pancakes. Pretty much the same every weekend but having it after a whole week it does not really get old for us Btw, even though I don't eat much cereal, I do too like having like 3 or 4 different cereals at home!

Breakfast.... always start with fresh brewed coffee

Bacon/sausage/link/hotdog

Sunny side up egg/scrambled egg/cheesy egg/veggie omelet

Rice/bread/pancake/biscuit

Then, finished up with juice

But if I have work, I just have coffee and cookies. I have no time to eat in the morning.

Bacon, sausage, toast, apple sauce, yogurt, fruits, waffles, pancakes, eggs, biscuits, English muffin with Canadian bacon and cheese.

Why don't you ask him what he would like to eat? You both don't need to eat the same thing, my hubby eats cereal and I have a bagel with cream cheese or waffles.

In order to awake from my coma . . . Starbucks coffee, freshly ground before the wife and I go to bed, then freshly brewed via timer 5 minutes before we have to get up.

Then a bowl of Kellogs corn flakes with non-fat milk, followed by an onion bagel with one fried egg, non-fat Munster cheese, and a slice of fake meat (we are vegetarians).

That's my routine, and I like to stick to it. On the weekend we often go out for brunch, but aside from a glass of what they mistakenly call Champagne here we have usually eggs with potatoes, perhaps a slice of toast, and that's it.

No different to when I was in Britain.

Marmite on toast and either: Weetabix, All-Bran, or Coco-Pops.

If we ever eat out for breakfast, I might be tempted by steak and eggs, or huevos rancheros. But a lot of the traditional American stuff leaves me completely cold. American "bacon", pancakes, French toast. Meh.

[Dr. Obvious 49]

Monday - Friday: Instant oatmeal or cold cereal. Rarely, breakfast burritos or French toast. Lazy like that.

Saturday, Sunday, Holidays: Most likely pancakes with different toppings. Occasionally other things like donuts, danish, bread, biscuits, herring, rolls, jam, eggs, sausage, bacon, smoked salmon, cheese. Just depends.

Husband complains about sausage and bacon for breakfast. Not because he doesn't like it, rather it is just wrong for breakfast. Whateverz, person who eats cold pickled herring for breakfast.

Me: oatmeal or granola, flavoured different ways. Tea with milk and sugar. I sometimes make sprouted brown rice with maple syrup for a breakfast treat!

The kids: toast with butter or toaster waffle, dry cereal, milk in a cup.

I need to have some kind of protein with my breakfast (I find if I eat an all-carbs breakfast I'm already hungry in less than 2 hours), so usually it's eggs or sausage links. I combine it with a small serving of complex carbs (whole wheat bread, or brown rice) and usually a piece of fruit like an apple or orange, and a glass of milk. Usually keeps me going until lunchtime but isn't too heavy to weigh me down.

I notice that in a lot of other countries, there's not as much of a distinction between "breakfast food" and "lunch/dinner food" as there is here in the USA. My sister and I had to explain this to my parents when we were both describing breakfasts in the countries we've visited and my stepdad remarked that it didn't sound like "breakfast food." The breakfasts Victor and I eat vary a great deal - sometimes it's something specific, but sometimes we just eat our leftovers from dinner the night before (especially if it's homemade pizza, which makes a great breakfast the next day).

take a piece of bread - cut out a circle from the middle, about 2 inches across.

butter the bread on both sides,

place on a hot skillet

then crack an egg into the hole.

when the egg has almost cooked all the way through, flip it, brown the other side of the bread.

give him 3 of these with turkey sausage.

good luck !
