Breakfast | Pad Patter 11.16

I'm not usually much of a breakfast eater but often mid day I will have steel cut oats with blueberries and/or bananas, cinnamon, stevia and milk or sometimes I mix in bananas and peanut butter with raisins.

What we often do since we don't eat much breakfast around here is to have breakfast for dinner sometimes. My fave is an egg scramble with chopped onions, peppers, sausage, jalapeno cheese, avocado, salt & pepper & 21 Seasoning Salute spice from Trader Joes. We had this for dinner last night.

 

I eat anything for breakfast, including leftovers.

Daniel had bacon and toast this morning.

I had boiled eggs. Yippee for low carb. LOL

Daniel will eat cereal, breakfast biscuits (frozen with chicken in them), sausage patties and toast, pancakes.

 

I love leftover pizza for breakfast, seriously.
I'm home with a lupus flare today so I made myself carne asada this morning & had it with tortillas. There's controversy over whether red meat actually makes inflammation worse. All I know is it helps me.

Usually I don't make time for breakfast. I keep crackers, tuna, nuts, rice a roni, & beef jerky in my office. So, there's always something to snack on. My little guy doesn't like breakfast much. The 8yr old loves breakfast. Cereal, oatmeal, pancakes, or waffles. Hubby eats 2 huge bowls of cereal every morning. Even if we're going out for breakfast, he will still eat a bowl of cereal first. It drives me nuts.

 

I can eat anything, anytime, mostly. Cold leftover pizza is a favorite, lol! We don't have it often though. Otherwise, it depends on if we are home.... Peter will make breakfast sandwiches, eggs, sometimes sausage, hashbrowns or the like. Shayne will sometimes make cinnamon rolls, if we have them.

During the week, the kids will have a bowl cereal, yogurt and fruit. If no cereal, then a doughnut. We have a deal, if they want sugary cereals/doughnutS, then they have to have the fruit and yogurt to balance it out. I will bring a Special K sandwich and greek yogurt to eat mid morning. Sometimes, if I am not hungry, I'll grab a jalapeno KIND bar. YUM.

We do breakfast for dinner, but different. It's waffles, fruit and togurt. lol! And, only on soccer nights, usually.

 

I'm pretty sure my body would shut down like a car without fuel if I didn't have some type of breakfast asap. But I'm not picky: Cinnamon Toast Crunch and some coffee is all I need.

I don't like pancakes but the kids love them, so on the weekends DH makes pancakes for the kids (and himself) and lets me sleep in. It's a win-win! I will wake up for his doughnuts, though. @bestcee Courtney, I hope you get a chance to make some (or cinnamon rolls) of your own this weekend!

 

I have be up for a few hours before I'm hungry for breakfast. I'm not a big breakfast food fan, so I usually grab a bar of some kinds (current favorite is Kind's Dark Chocolate Cherry). I tend to pick one type of bar and eat it every single day until I get tired of it and switch (some of these last years, some just a couple of months). I have a small can of tomato juice most days as well.

My husband and son rarely eat breakfast during the week.

I fix my daughter eggs every morning for breakfast. She always eats a decent breakfast. I started making her eggs last year when I felt guilty about her never being home from dance in time to have a hot, freshly made, home cooked meal (her dinner was always a heated up plate). It continued this year because of the same reason and because she has the last lunch period this year in high school. More fuel to get her further into her day.

 

usually I am a dry cereal eater and an occasional yogurt... I get sick from eggs as "eggs" even though I love the smell of cooked eggs... but unless we are away I am a dry cereal/yogurt eater.

 

The kiddo has cereal, oatmeal, or french toast sticks for breakfast on school days, and then usually goes and eats something in the cafeteria as well :/. I have 2 hard boiled eggs, whole wheat toast, and a grapefruit for breakfast on work days, when I get to work... I just can't eat for a couple of hours after I wake up. On weekends we have french toast or scrambled eggs, but only because DH cooks breakfast haha. Otherwise I probably wouldn't eat anything and DS is always most happy with just cereal.

 

Weekdays I'll have cereal with yogurt and fruit or oatmeal with dried fruit or a bagel with peanut butter and jam with lots of coffee. Weekends we usually have bacon and eggs or pancakes or eggs benny. If I don't eat breakfast I'm not a happy camper!

 

I'm usually not big on breakfast, but I do love some bacon!! Normally I'm not hungry until several hours after I wake up, and some days if I'm busy with work it can be late afternoon or early evening before I eat my first (and maybe only) meal of the day! I always feel better if I throw some intermittent fasting into my eating routine, so I don't stress about eating meals at certain times- when my body is hungry, I try to give it good food. When it's not, I don't eat.

 

When I do bother to eat breakfast, it's cereal probably 95% of the time. Occasionally I'll have a bagel or Pop Tart. My kids absolutely will not eat breakfast on school days. It drives me NUTS. I don't know how they can do that, but they're both good students and well behaved. On weekends, my son will make himself some eggs or a bagel. He's not a cereal eater. My daughter is like me, she loves cereal.

 

Hmmm I'm a Just Right cereal and chopped up banana kind of brekkie eater, although I do like some yummy bacon and eggs every now and then

 

We make fresh fruit salad every morning and at the moment this is apples, oranges, strawberries, kiwi fruit, pineapple, watermelon and papaya. This varies depending on what is fresh at the moment. I eat mine with a little plain Greek yoghurt and organic dried goji berries. Partner also has a bowl of gluten free cereal with coconut sugar and milk and sometimes toast. Fruit suits me well.

 

I'm up and out the door by 6:30 am so my hubby is in charge of getting the boys fed and to school... which means they have to make their own. Mostly they prefer cereal, oatmeal or frozen waffles. I am NOT hungry that early in the morning, so I take a frozen breakfast sandwich to work and make it there at about 8:00. I don't know what my hubby eats. I think cereal too. If he gets up with enough time, otherwise it's subway on the way to work for him.

On the weekends we like to make eggs and grits for late breakfast/early lunch or belgium waffles with fruit toppings and whipped cream.

 

I LOVE pretty much all breakfast foods. My kids aren't big on cereal (they usually just want to munch on it for snack time). We rotate through few things.

Bagels, Eggs, Bacon
Biscuits and Gravy
Pancakes, Fruit, Bacon
Cinnamon Rolls
Chocolate Chip Muffins
Grits, Eggs, Sausage
Waffles, Fruit, Bacon

We usually have big breakfasts, small lunches and big dinners.

 

I have to wait awhile after I get up because I get sick if I eat too soon out of bed. (I know, I'm weird.) I like leftovers on occasion. I also like bacon and eggs but won't make them. Last weekend, I made waffles that were yummy. Tim will make crepes once in a blue moon. And most days I just skip it entirely. I love to have a cold Mt. Dew when I first get up. Sometimes I'll eat some nuts.

This morning, I had to leave the house early and knew I was going to be out all day, so I had a hot cocoa and snowman cookie from Starbucks. Breakfast of champions.

 

My 2yo and I don't really eat breakfast. He will ask for things & then throw them in the trash after taking a bite or two. We eat an early lunch around 11:30 instead and sometimes a snack around 10.

My 7yo has a granola bar, juice, & two pieces of cinnamon toast for breakfast on school days.

On Saturdays (and sometimes Sundays depending on how much they eat Saturday!) the kids have donut holes from either Dunkin or the store.

My DH has a bowl of oatmeal every. single. day. He becomes a psycho hose beast without his oatmeal. Srsly.

 

I learned in my late teens, after a couple of fainting incidents, that I must eat breakfast, and I feel best and last longest the more protein it has. A few years ago I started making scrambled egg burritos with various veggies and sometimes meat or mushrooms added in. (I can't eat dairy, but cheese would also be good for those who can.) Most often the veggies are bell peppers and spinach. Vidalia onions or green onions are also favorites. And often I include avocado and/or salsa too!

I happen to have a photo of one I made early this year for a photography project.

I make these egg burritos almost every day for my husband and me. My kids prefer leftovers or pancakes or oatmeal, and they get up later and don't like to eat right away.

 

i struggle to eat breakfast (if i do it's after 10:30 most days) but i know it's 'the most important meal etc' and fortunately my kids et it without too much drama - DD will even make herself eggs now on weekends! but usually it's just cereal or porridge (DS has eaten and loved cinnamon porridge for so long he called himself 'byron cinnamon' for a good year when he was about 3 or 4 - he still hates alexander as his middle name, but as long as he eats the porridge i dont care what he calls himself)
