What do you normally eat for breakfast?

I'm sorry, I just can't stop talking about food. :P

I was reading the latest issue of Saveur magazine last night and this morning, and it has to be one of the most interesting things I've ever had the pleasure of reading. It's all about breakfast, which is quite frankly the most important and wonderful meal of the day. The magazine had a number of different articles about what people eat for breakfast all over the world, in addition to recipes for all these magical foods I'd never heard of. :D

I typically don't have much time these days between work and school, so my breakfast is usually whole wheat toast with butter and raspberry, orange or apricot preserves, maybe some sunflower butter. I almost always have tea in the morning - I think my favorite is coconut chai at the moment. If I'm really short for time I'll have my standard soy milk and mega fiber hippie cereal. :)

If I do have time though, I'll make biscuits and gravy or sometimes Jace will make pancakes. I've only made french toast once with friends, but I'd like to get that going more often. I also really like to heat up different soy sausages and have those with toast and hot cereal.

I also like having hot multigrain cereal with apples cut up in it, with cinnamon and honey. That will never get old.

So what do you eat for breakfast? I want to know all about it!

Nutritional experts have referred to breakfast as the most important meal of the day, citing studies that find that people who skip breakfast are disproportionately likely to have problems with concentration, metabolism, and weight....I'am not an expert so, a simple breakfast like: variety of asian bread ( coconut bread, ensaymada, hopia w/ onions etc. ) if there no bread I prefer for a wheat biscuit & a fruit like banana or apple or orange & a cup of green tea w/ lemon & honey...that's it ! :-)

I think that breakfast is essential, too important
!But my breakfast simple example: a green onion roll and a cup of milk, a pancake and milk, a red bean bread and apples, I felt it was delicious!
In the breakfast habits of the majority of Chinese people! You can also come here to taste!

i, for some reason don't like eating when i get up....
MiriadaTheCarrot says: Mar 4, 2010. 3:52 PM
I only eat breakfast on weekends (I get up too early for food on weekdays), but often it's pitta bread (toasted) with yeast extract and cucumber or tomatoes. thick slices of cucumber so it makes a loud crunching noise to annoy my sister.
Sometimes I make farina/semolina with soyamilk and eat it with a bit of jam.
The two weeks after Christmas, it's leftover Christmas food for breakfast, like beetroot soup, cabbage and mushroom vol-au-vent, carrot and almond flan, roast mediterranean vegetable flan... lasts for ages.

I have to give them a good scrubbing, and boil throughly - like other vegatables they're toxic unless boiled twice.

It wasn't for breakfast, but my brother (12) made himself a nacho yesterday (yeah, "a" nacho-my sister made him quit after that) that had on it: -Cheddar cheese -Steak sauce -Liquid smoke -Mayonnaise -Sweet and sour sauce -Mustard >_<

Well, I have to fess up. I work the midnight shift, so, my "breakfast" (8 AM meal), is more like a midnight snack!
RED^WINGED^PEGASUS says: Apr 30, 2009. 10:38 PM
Well you should really tried chilaquiles its a Mexican dish for breakfast but can be eaten at every meal time. It consists of tortillas of course with mole' and queso fresco fresh cheese that is and toped with onions and or parsley .I know sounds strange to have such a strong dish but its bold its empowering and plush its vegetarian unless you add chicken. The dish is best when the tortillas are slightly fried enough to give it a crispy edge that and wit the spicy and sweet mole' OH its really good.

A bowl of cereal on weekdays, favorites being Cinnamon Toast Crunch and puffed rice. On weekends, homemade waffles, pancakes, corned beef hash, or... more cereal. But i still love chicken fried steak, biscits and gravy, doughnuts, or oatmeal. I LOVE BREAKFAST!

Breakfast Burrito- Tortilla (big size, I like flour but it is fattening) Scrambled eggs Bacon or Sausage or Both Potatoes (diced or hash style) Cheese (I like mozzarella or you can use 4 cheese Mexican) Ketchup/BBQ sauce/Salsa What's good about this breakfast is its versatile because you can add: peppers, tomatoes, lettuce, onion or you can toast the tortilla (and make it crunchy), you can make your eggs sunny side up so when you bite in yolk goes all around it. you can also make tacos/quesadilla/tostado/taquitos with the same ingredients.

I rarely eat breakfast food.. I get home from work at about 7am. Though I can't blame that as I wasn't big into it before. I usually eat leftovers, and cook later. I have gone outside; gotten out the barbecue grill, and cooked up steak, and potatoes in the early morning occasionally though! : D

I've changed up my breakfast lately. I'm trying to cut down on the amount of carbs I eat for breakfast because it's better that you eat less so early in the morning. Now I'm doing about 3/4 a cup or plain yogurt, a handful of bran flakes, a handful of dried fruit and a bit of honey. It's so good. :D

Goodhart says: Oct 14, 2008. 4:22 PM
I try (since my operation) to balance mine a bit. 1 1/2 cups of stone rolled oat (meal, not the favored kind with all the sugar and junk in it), a half cup of Egg Beaters mixed in. Cooked in the Microwave for 2 minutes, I then add wheat germ (about a half cup) and olive oil (a tbsp or so), a dash of low sodium salt, and a few tbls of ground flax seed. After reheating for a short bit, I add a piece of cheese and melt/stir that in. Now I have every food group except fruit, and so I will grab an apple or orange along with my bowl of enhanced oatmeal :-)

Goodhart in reply to GoodhartDec 24, 2008. 4:11 PM
I forgot, I also tend to add crushed red hot pepper or cayenne pepper to the oatmeal too......keeps me warm all winter ;-)

i only have about 5 min to cook/make and eat breakfast, also i find cereal and toast boring :( Do you know any relatively quick tasty breakfasts ?
237
jessyratfink (author) in reply to =SMART=Oct 28, 2008. 6:20 AM
My favorite is this:

Bob's 8 grain hot cereal
An apple, chopped finely
A bit of honey
Cinnamon if you want

You just mix it all together (it's 1/4 cup of cereal and 3/4 cup of water) and nuke it for five minutes or so. It's delicious. The apples and honey get really gooey and wonderful. Plus, it's really filling and quite healthy.
32
=SMART= in reply to jessyratfinkOct 29, 2008. 8:47 AM
wow ! That sounds delicious ! I'm definitely going to try that :D Thanks, i cant wait for breakfast lol, i think im going to have some now :P
237
jessyratfink (author) in reply to =SMART=Oct 31, 2008. 4:33 PM

32
=SMART= in reply to jessyratfinkJan 27, 2011. 5:37 PM
Hell yea i did ! It was delicious !! I diddnt have any of the Bob's cereal so i mixed oat's with a similar kind of various grain cereal, then i did what you said and added water, apple bits and honey (also a bit of maple syrup, i love that stuff :P ) then i microwaved it for 5 min. I made some for my brother too, he loves it too, he keeps on making me make it for him lol. Its my new favorite food ... well its in a tie with beef stroganoff but as their completely different meals i guess i don't have to decide !
237
jessyratfink (author) in reply to =SMART=Oct 31, 2008. 4:56 PM
Yay! I'm so happy you liked it. :D It's also really good with peaches and mangoes. And cardamom and ginger are good, too. I could really write an entire instructable over it, hahaha.

Kiteman says: Oct 14, 2008. 1:47 PM
Breakfast is my most variable meal. Sometimes nothing, but then I'll have a handful of dried apricots or prunes when I get to work (I keep a bag in my desk drawer). Sometimes cereal like Shreddies, cornflakes or Shredded Wheat. Sometimes fresh fruit (especially a banana). Sometimes fruit pie, if there's any left from the night before. If I'm feeling extravagant, a bar of Fruit and Nut on the way to work. Very occasionally, the boys will fancy waffles, and get carried away toasting them, so I end up having waffles for breakfast at the weekend. When I was at university, a frequent breakfast was a pint of orange juice and a Marathon Bar (now Snickers) bought from the corner shop on the walk to the first lecture.

Kiteman in reply to PlasmanaOct 29, 2008. 2:08 PM
Yup!

It's not officially "breakfast" - I just like to snack on dried fruit - but sometimes it becomes breakfast if I'm slow off the mark.

Never heard of it before this morning! I can check when I go shopping today just to be sure, but I'm not sure they sell it in the US.

NachoMahma in reply to jessyratfinkOct 14, 2008. 12:30 PM
. From Wikipedia article on Weetabix:
The cereal is manufactured in Burton Latimer, United Kingdom and in Canada and exported to over 80 countries. (my emphasis)
. I don't remember seeing any in the grocery stores around here, but I live in a small Southern US town and I don't go grocery shopping much.
. Happy hunting

we do have a product called Shredded Wheat, and we could, at one time, get the REALLY big biscuit type, but I don't see that one in the stores anymore either. People are favoring miniWheats (especially the sugar coated ones *bleh*)

Goodhart in reply to Lithium RainOct 15, 2008. 4:22 PM
Well, I have read that metabolism doesn't really change much with age, but we do slow down our activity sometimes with age......and that effects how much energy we burn as opposed to storing it :-) Extra exercise to increase the metabolic rate a little, but it also burns off calories consumed, which is what I am after right now :-)

Nothing like it IMO

http://home.uchicago.edu/~nmchang/

This person seems to have tryed to eat it dry, if you can find them try it but just with milk and maybe a teaspoon of sugar if you have a sweet tooth (BTW Let the milk soak into the weetabix or put on enougth to cover it fully)

Me, for breakfast I have Marmite on toast or ready brek or weetabix.
