What do you have for breakfast?

Cafe Society

I’m looking to expand my current breakfast selections.

My breakfast usually consists of either: cereal, dunkin’ donuts, fried eggs or a martini (breakfast of champions you know)*. Usually it is just cereal every morning until I realize I don’t have any milk or cereal. Then I go for eggs. I have donuts and coffee every Sunday.

I wish I could add something new to the line up. So tell me what you guys eat and then I’ll decide if there is anything else out there worth eating for breakfast.

*So I don’t really drink martinis for breakfast, but I could not resist the obscure reference.

Since I started Weight Watchers: 3 vegetarian sausages, a bowl of Maple Raisin Oatmeal, and a yogurt. Every day. Plus maybe a Rice Shake if I want a little extra fiber thrown in.

It’s not glamorous, but I’m shedding the lbs. and that’s the goal right now.

3

EAS AdvantEdge Coffee House protein shake.

4

Bacon or sausage and eggs, no taters, no toast, and never any grits. Sometimes an omlette, but those make good dinners, too.

5

Lowlowfat, sugarless yoghurt and crisp bread.

6

Winter:
Porridge with either stewed apple and cinnamon, banana and nuts, or a milo breakfast shake sprinked over the top

Summer:
Rolled oats, chopped fruit, a handful of nuts and seeds and non-fat plain yoghurt.

Weekends:
No holds barred brunch - pancakes, bomboloni or poached eggs on toast.

Today I had two cookies and a hot orange pekoe tea.

8

What kind of cereal do you have? The same kind all the time? You could mix it up with different kinds of hot cereal, or granola or museli. I also like different kinds of fruit (fresh and dried) on my cereal.

9

Usually, scrambled eggs with feta cheese and Tabasco, a piece of toast with jam, coffee, and a banana.
Or, a Belgian waffle with syrup, banana, coffee, and maybe some cottage cheese.

If I go out to a place like Denny’s, I’ll get the pancakes with cinnamon apple topping and an egg or two, and of course, coffee.

10

A big mug of strong tea, usually with milk & sugar.

This may be accompanied by scrambled eggs and toast, and maybe a couple of strips of Morningstar Farms veggie bacon. Or a Swiss cheese and salsa omelet. Or hot cereal, usually Irish oatmeal or that wonderful multigrain cereal from Trader Joe’s, with a liberal dollop of brown sugar. Or cold cereal, either Raisin Bran (Kellogg’s) or Uncle Sam. Or some Mintz’s Blintzes. Or a couple of English muffins with butter and blackberry jam (or lime marmalade).

Of course, the IDEAL breakfast is cold leftover pizza…but mine never lasts until morning.

11

Work days, I start with a bowl of oatmeal. If I’m out of oatmeal, I swipe some of my wife’s granola and my daughter’s yogourt :wink:

When I arrive at work the catered breakfast table is laden, so I grab a bagel (sesame seed or cinnamon/raisin) and slather it with cream cheese or jam, munch on a few veggies/pieces of fruit, and drink my second cup of OJ.

On my days off, I root through the fridge and get fancy. Which usually means dirty scrambled eggs (mushrooms, tomato, cheese mixed right in, along with whatever fresh herb is in the fridge).

12

I gotta agree with Biffy – leftover pizza is the BEST!

A hunk of baguette and real butter is pretty darned wonderful.

I don’t know what the equivalent is outside the US, but I like GrapeNuts (“Tastes like wild hickory nuts!”), either stirred into yogurt or, in winter, nuked with a little milk for 30 seconds to get it hot enough that a tablespoon of fruit spread will melt into it. Yum!

13

Pretty plain stuff for me.

  • Fruit (changes from day-to-day: apple, orange, grapefruit, pineapple, strawberries, melon)
  • 1 slice of toast, sometimes with a slice of cheese melted on it.
  • Coffee
14

While I was unemployed breakfast was usually a pot of coffee. I’d never get round to eating food until noon. And then it was likely to be leftovers.

Now I have cold cereal. At the cafeteria it’s Total, Wheaties, or Cheerios (in that order, depending on what they have). At home I have shredded wheat with some fresh berries on it.

And only half a pot of coffee, due to time constraints. (Plus hot black tea at work.)

If my girlfriend and I go out for breakfast (one weekend morning every week or two), pancakes or sausage and eggs. And coffee.

15

It’s pretty much the same every day:

  • a bowl of sultana bran with low-fat milk;
  • two slices of toast with vegemite in summer or crumpets with vegemite in winter;
  • some orange juice
  • a piece of fruit. At the moment it’s a mandarin or an apple. It used to be a banana until they got too expensive.
16

And cheddar cheese! Toasted in the oven!

Unfortunately, I’ve been told Vegemite makes my breath smell bad; so I haven’t been eating it weekdays. And bad breath isn’t good with a g/f either. :frowning:

There are advantages to being unemployed!

17

I generally eat either:

  1. Bowl of oatmeal with dried blueberries

  2. 2 pieces of whole grain toast, natural peanut butter

  3. Whole wheat tortilla, egg beaters, salsa, spinach leaves

  4. Whole wheat tortilla smeared with peanut butter, heated and wrapped around a banana

18

Super Big Gulp Diet Coke from the 7-11 and an EAS/Atkins type bar.

Just about every morning.

19

I have a glass of grapefruit juice to wake me up while I make my breakfast. Here’s what I have then:
A slice of melon (Cranshaw is my favorite with a splash of lime juice over it)
Two pieces of toast (currently cinnamon raisin toast with honey butter)
Organic Sumatra coffee, made from freshly ground beans
Then I have a glass of water and take all my prescriptions and vitamins.

On Sundays I add two slices of crisp bacon and an egg that has been soft boiled, scrambled or fried.
