I’m pretty sure I’ve seen this kind of thread before, but I couldn’t find one that was recent, so here’s another one.

For many years I ate cereal almost every day – usually Life, Cheerios, Grape Nuts, or plain Corn Flakes, with whole milk and a glass of OJ. Recently I’ve changed to 2 small corn tortillas with refried beans and salsa and sometimes one fried egg (for health reasons). I got a cute little 1.5 cup saucepan just for refried beans 🙂 Now my OJ is 50% watered down to try and cut down on sugar.

What’s yours?

A large coffee with cream and cinnamon. A yogurt or a banana if I’m hungry, but that rarely happens before lunchtime (being hungry, that is).

If I need to be out the door in five or so minutes, it’s either scrambled eggs or Fiber One.

I can’t eat cereal, toast, or fruit at breakfast, or I’ll be starving by 10:00. I’ve been eating a bowl full of some combination of beans, mashed squash, and fried egg most mornings. If there are dinner leftovers (meat and veg) I’ll have those.

Depends a bit on the season, but one of these:

- 1/2 c. Greek yogurt, usually flavored, topped with 1 c. berries or other fruit and 1/4 c. granola
- overnight oatmeal - I especially like the [mango / almond](http://www.theyummylife.com/recipes/219/Mango+Almond+Refrigerator+Oatmeal) version

We used to get Market Day turkey sausages and a couple of those with a glass of OJ was good for me. Our don’t school doesn’t do MD for a fundraiser any more so I’m out on that front. We did try some Jimmy Dean Turkey Sausage once and they were decent.

I can’t eat food when I first wake up. Civilized people eat breakfast at 10:00 am. I am (semi) civilized, so I do the same. Since that means eating it at work on weekdays, I have a piece of whole grain toast, a piece of fruit and a cup of tea.

On weekends, though, I do a sort of brunch and have eggs with my toast, fruit, and tea.

My go-to breakfast is a one-egg omelette with cheese (preferably [etorki](http://www.cheese.com/etorki/), but swiss is good). Takes about five minutes ot cook.

If I’m rushed, I usually have some Jimmy Dean biscuits with bacon and cheese. Or just a bowl of cereal.
