I love the “What’s for dinner” and “What’s for lunch” threads.

My breakfast has been really dull up to today: I made 2 eggs over easy, 4 pieces wheat toast (buttered heavily) and hashbrown patties cooked 15 minutes+ on my GF grill.

Normally I just have yogurt at work.

So what did you have?

Today? Two cups of coffee and a slice of limpa bread. Throw in some fish and few kinds of potatoes and it’s be the perfect Swedish meal.

Limpa! I assume that’s like the Finnish Limpuu? I love that stuff!

This morning for me was eggs with some half & half scrambled in butter, with a dusting of Parmesan on top and a few slices of leftover ham sauteed in butter on the side. Mmmm, butter.

This morning: leftover Chinese food.

Tomorrow morning: it will involve eggs. I haven’t decided what else, yet.

Usually it’s nothing.

Ideally it would be fried diced potatoes and onions, scrambled eggs with American cheese, and maple sausage links, but I rarely have the time and/or inclination to go to that much effort.

We only had two eggs left, and no bread. So I scrambled the (extra-large) eggs and served them on steamed corn tortillas with bacon, shredded Cheddar, and Tapatio. Between the two of us we’ve had four tacos, and there are still enough eggs for a couple more.

Speciality de la maison. Bacon, egg, cheese, onion, HP sauce, english/french mustard, creme fresh in a big ol’ white bread sandwich.

or I might go down the local cafe and have a massive fry up.

My usual breakfast: coffee and oatmeal with plain yogurt, chopped walnuts and blueberries. Occassionally I’ll sub in pomegranate for the blueberries.

Tostadas.

Crispy corn tortilla, black bean refritos, sharp cheese, lettuce and tomato.

I smear the beans on the tostada and sprinkle that with cheese. I put those is the toaster oven (on “light”- sometimes I have to turn the toaster off and just let them sit there to warm up the beans but not over toast the chip) while I chop up a little lettuce and tomato.

Yum!

Pan birote with cream cheese.  
and bacon salt. 😃  
Needed something quick to take with my antibiotics, and ran out of bagels.

Edit to add: I am not a breakfast person, at all, ever. Eating in the morning is hard, though I’ll happily make any amount of breakfast food at night.

I almost _never_ have breakfast for breakfast, unless we go out to breakfast! 😉  
This morning, breakfast was leftover steak and half of a baked potato from last night.

Mmm.

Scrambled eggs, biscuits, and bacon for the kids. I had biscuits and gravy (made it on Monday). Hubby had all four. Washed it all down with apple juice and followed it up with 2 cups of coffee.

Saturday is brunch day. We had bacon, sausage patties, waffles, and eggs. During the week, it’s frozen waffles, bananas, and/or bagels.

Today, MEAT. My gf started some goofy French diet, and I’m being supportive. Nothing but protein, water, and oat bran for the first week. Vacation is a month away and she is 5 pounds over her bikini weight (fuckin holidays).
