Breakfast Ideas
We're needing breakfast ideas here.
I would rather avoid cereal (expensive and not healthy) in favor of other foods. Non-traditional breakfast foods are fine. What did YOU eat for breakfast today? Yesterday? The day before? I just need help in brainstorming ideas so that we don't get so stuck in a rut. All suggestions are very welcome! Thanks!

Re: Breakfast Ideas
Monday's we do muffins... whatever kind I can scrounge together, sweet or savory
Tuesdays we do muffin tin meals... Wednesdays are 'whatever Wednesday' and basically I just figure out something to give them... Thursday's are smoothie "Thirsty Thursday"... Fridays are some version of French toast. Saturday's we do a big breakfast with meat, eggs and either biscuits or pancakes... and Sunday is Cinnamon Rolls. |

Re: Breakfast Ideas
Thanks for starting this I had been meaning to start one like it for a while!
I usually have Vector cereal mainly for the convenience factor. Greek yogurt and pb toast were favorites when I was working. I sometimes do left overs or make a small quiches early in the week and heat them up. I would love to find a yummy easy to make a small batch of oatmeal because it is usually only me eating breakfast here in the morning as DH makes his own. |

Re: Breakfast Ideas
I really, really dislike cooking first thing in the morning, so most of what we do for breakfast is easy. Some of my go-to breakfasts:
- Waffles, pancakes, or french toast made in big batches and frozen. Can be popped in the toaster, same as you would do with store-bought waffles. - Oatmeal. Put in the crock pot before bed, and wake up to yummy breakfast. - Breakfast burritos. Buy approx a million eggs when they're on sale, scramble (along with whatever you like), wrap in tortillas, and freeze. Take them out as you need them and heat in the microwave. - Yogurt with fruit and granola.

Re: Breakfast Ideas
We mix & match these items -
*Oatmeal or Malt O Meal *Eggs - scrambled with cream cheese, with salsa or with meat(ham, sausage). Fried served on a bread, roll or bagel. Omelets. *Pancakes - plain, with fruit mixed in or fruit topping, or, gluttonously, coffee cake topping. Rarely french toast or waffles. *Hashbrowns or fried potatoes *Sausage or ham, on occasion. *Toast & jam, bagels & PB or bagels & cream cheese. *Smoothies or fruit salad. *Yogurt - plain, with fruit, granola or cereal. *Breakfast burritos |

Re: Breakfast Ideas
Today's breakfast was a little non traditional. Leftover ratatouille with fried eggs on top. Most days I don't have the time to cook eggs and we make a smoothie (yogurt, banana, peanut butter, and frozen berries).
I liked having leftover veggies with eggs a lot.

Re: Breakfast Ideas
We've found that we have more energy when we don't do grains at breakfast, but DH hates eggs and we're sick of green smoothies. Any more suggestions for non-egg or baked/flour-based breakfasts?

Re: Breakfast Ideas
fruit and cheese? I am partial to watermelon with feta, dh likes can fruit with cottage cheese. The kids like colby-jack with something like an apple or grapes next to it rather than mixed like dh's and mine.

Re: Breakfast Ideas
Someone once posted they had good success with peanut butter balls.
Yogurt parfaits can be fun. Could you do breakfast kabobs? Meat, cheese, cherry tomatoes, pineapple chunks? |
