Help me brainstorm some easy breakfast ideas, please
The catch is that they need to be egg-free, not sweet and easy preparation. I'm totally open to non-traditional breakfast items, too.

Re: Help me brainstorm some easy breakfast ideas, please
muffins? there are eggless recipes, and you control how sweet it is

Re: Help me brainstorm some easy breakfast ideas, please
I do steel cut oats in the crock pot a LOT these days. Warm, and easy to control added sugars.

Re: Help me brainstorm some easy breakfast ideas, please
My kids love the flatbread breakfast sandwiches at our local coffee shop, so I started making the same type of thing at home...I buy those flat, round sandwich bread things (kwim? I can't remember the name brand, but I can look it up in the am) a slice of cheese, two slices of bacon (we use the pre cooked stuff, it's WAY easier, not a fatty, and about the same price when I get it from Sams or Costco) and a slice of turkey. I stick it in the convection oven (could use a toaster oven or do it in a pan on the stove tip) just long enough to melt the cheese a bit and Voila! A home made breakfast flat bread sandwich! Sincenothing really needs to be cooked, it takes about 30 seconds to put together and a minute or two to heat. Alternately, you could make one with ham and cheese too.
---------- Post added at 02:05 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:59 AM ---------- Oh and cheesy grits have been a hit around here too. Yogurt with granola? Fresh fruit? Breakfast potatoes? (I've done these in a bigger batch, they reheat well, so you could do them the night before) Ham/turkey and cheese croissant rolls? Those are easy, just buy the tube of croissants, and roll the ham and cheese up inside and bake as directed. We've also been known to eat hummus and pita in the morning.:giggle I try to get some protien into them, and this is something I can get them while also holding the baby. :yes |
Re: Help me brainstorm some easy breakfast ideas, please
Okay so I think I need some recipes.
We haven't eaten oatmeal. In fact, I don't know if any of us like it, but I'm willing to try it. I don't know the first thing about making it so please share your crockpot recipe. What do you top your oatmeal with? I looked for some eggless muffin recipes and am coming up short. Do you have any recipes for eggless muffins? The flatbread and croissant sandwiches would be lovely. Great ideas. And again, I've never had grits, so could you share the recipe for that, please? Is it like polenta? Are the breakfast potatoes you mentioned like hashbrowns? I loooove hummus. Hummus and pita would be so easy and yummy. Okay now it's confession time. These are ideas for me. My kids eat breakfast just fine. I, on the other hand, can't stand breakfast. I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that I don't tolerate sweet foods well, especially as the first meal of the day and I'm allergic to eggs. |
Re: Help me brainstorm some easy breakfast ideas, please
:hug2 I usually eat soup and crackers or a sandwich for breakfast. :yes

Re: Help me brainstorm some easy breakfast ideas, please
Bagels and cream cheese might work for you guys (assuming you can find the bagels egg-free). :shrug3 I've did df for a couple of years and was able to find bread and such. I would think that ef would also be possible.
---------- Post added at 02:46 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:43 AM ---------- Ahhhhh, I just read your post saying these are for you. I second the soup or just a plain old sandwich. On days when I'm packing lunches and heading out the door, I just nibble on whatever I'm making for lunch or I'll make an extra one to eat as I go. |

This is my oatmeal recipe. I use all sorts of things as toppings - fresh fruit, dried fruit, nuts, seeds, applesauce. I love oatmeal, and so prefer homemade to the instant packages. |
Re: Help me brainstorm some easy breakfast ideas, please
Soup! I never even thought of it. :doh I adore soup. Did I say I love soup? I could make me a batch of soup (even one that I love and other people in my family don't :shifty) and freeze it in individual portions for breakfast. :jump

In a pinch, I looove the Lipton Instant Cup of Soup in Creamy Chicken flavor. Just add hot water and it's a 60-calorie treat. (I add my crackers as well.) Not sure if there are eggs, though.:think If you have a Vita-Mix or good blender, it's sooo easy to whip up a fast creamy asparagus using canned asparagus, some chicken boullion, your favorite milk and a bit of cornstarch to thicken. Or sub the canned asparagus for cooked broc or cauliflower. I'm a soup girl, too! :) |
Re: Help me brainstorm some easy breakfast ideas, please
Do you like peanut butter?
I do peanut butter on toast Skillet breakfast with peppers, onions, potatoes and leftover chicken Sausages rolled in tortillas or flattened bread dipped in butter and pan fried (easy to freeze and reheat) Stuffed French toast with cream cheese and fruit Cheese and tart apples Lasagna. For some reason I like lasagna in the morning. Yogurt parfait |
Re: Help me brainstorm some easy breakfast ideas, please
Hmmm, cheese and apples. That sounds really good...and easy....and I always have it on hand.
You all are awesome with your ideas. :hug |
Re: Help me brainstorm some easy breakfast ideas, please
Other things I like for breakfast (this is me, my kids and DH are cereal junkies :giggle):
-cottage cheese with chopped apple or pear, and some pumpkin or sunflower seeds - peanut butter mixed with vanilla yogurt, and sliced apple for dipping - cottage cheese mixed with fruit yogurt - multi grain toast with peanut butter and sliced fruit |
Re: Help me brainstorm some easy breakfast ideas, please
Wow, this has helped me a lot. I think I was stuck on traditional breakfast foods and yet knew that wouldn't work for me. So I'm formulating a list of ideas and I'm so excited about it. :ty2
