What do you eat for breakfast?

I used to get the very sweet packets of oatmeal with brown sugar, peaches and cream and an assortment of other things. I don't eat oatmeal much because it's so bland but I have a huge container of it and should really use it up. I might put some strawberries and nuts in it or sprinkle it with a little cinnamon/sugar spice. I also like to but a pat of butter or two on it

You are a perfect candidate for overnight-oats. Look it up, lots of variations. And since you like sweet, this will be like dessert in a storage container.
(Me) sunflower seeds or walnuts, raisins, banana, yogurt. Cover with dry oats, pour water just until you see water above the oats. Don't stir. Put in fridge, keeps for days. Eat cold, Healthy Healthy.

I have a mixture of berries including big huge cherries. There are blueberries, black berries, raspberries, and a couple of others. The president choice brand. There’s no sugar added. I like a touch of pure butter and that’s it. The berries become heated and almost explode with yummy goodness. Oh yeah. 😋

Crock pot - large flake slow cooking steel cut oats cooked in apple juice with chunks of apple, raisins and a touch of cinnamon. Oats are a strange of for celiacs. Some can eat them, some can’t. I can eat them occasionally. I also cook quinoa and or millet. With buckwheat added I can make my own gluten free red river type cereal. That’s also nice with apples, raisins or cranberries added and great with coconut milk.

Thanks, Keesha!

We don't have a particular breakfast that can be classified as our favourite, but the breakfast menu in our house is extensive.

- Toasted bacon, tomato, and aged cheddar cheese sandwiches
- Bacon & eggs
- Hashbrowns & sausages
- Denny's Restaurant style Moons-over-my-hamy
- French Toast
- Pancakes
- Waffles
- Egg Omelettes
- Tasted Denver sandwiches
- Toasted egg sandwiches with jalapeno and cheddar
- Yogurt and fruit
- Hot cereals (oatmeal, Cream of Wheat, Sunny Boy, Red River)

Problem is our appetites aren't what they used to be, and a good number of days we just enjoy a few cups of coffee with a couple slices of toast.

@Aunt Marg My mouth is watering after reading your list! Especially that toasted bacon, tomato, and cheddar sandwich! :love:

Gawd, that sounds good...mouth watering lol.

I never think to make that for myself. When I think of pancakes, I just normally think of syrup...and I always back off because diabetes runs in my fam and that's all I can think about! Silly.

So for breakfast I eat whatever sounds good. This week I've been in to these little naan rounds,,,they're abt 3-4 inches round. I put a little swipe of mayo and a slice of turkey breast. And I had 3 strawberries .

My husband has regular pancakes with that fake maple syrup and loves it. I personally can’t stand my fluffy pancakes drowning in that sugary stuff. Plus I make gluten free pancakes which are super fluffy. Once I pour the batter , I plop those berries onto the batter until , bubbles start to show. Flip and cook until done. With a tad of butter the favour of those hot berries explodes. It’s so tasty. Next time I make these I’ll take a picture so you can so the size of these berries. Yummm. I love pancakes.

Your suggestion is something I’d probably do too. :)

Sounds very interesting! I do eat yogurt and walnuts regularly so I always or mostly always have them on hand and of course there is always water....so far at least :ROFLMAO: but then this is 2020 and who knows what is next...

I’ve tried oatmeal many different ways. It‘s okay but not something I look forward to. I’ve tried:
honey and pumpkin pie spice
honey and cinnamon
chopped nuts
fruit like blueberries, peaches or my favorite baked apples
a drizzle of olive oil and chopped sausage

what have you tried?

Mostly what I've tried ever since I was old enough to leave home is to not eat oatmeal:sick:

Did you live the same as me as a youngster, and ate oatmeal or Cream of Wheat 5 days a week?

My mother got up real early, started the fire in our wood-burning kitchen stove, made the oatmeal and set the pot at the back of the stove. By the time we were up and dressed, that cr@p had congealed. Even just thinking about it now makes me want to hurl. If it had been Cream of Wheat, there'd have been the same problem. Blech. We only had to put up with it during the school year. Summertime we were allowed to eat cold cereal. We'd get dressed and pick whatever berries were in season in the woods behind our house and have berries on our Cheerios or corn flakes...if we didn't eat them all before we got back to the kitchen.

I still prefer fried cornmeal mush. I might even make some and use up some cornmeal that I stored in the freezer. Wait. No syrup. Never mind my post today about not needing anything except milk between now and the first of the year! I'm gonna check DD's cupboard to see if she has syrup.

Apparently nobody but me on this entire board likes fried mush. Hm.

We had cold cereal in the house, too, most for my baby siblings. When baby siblings were really young... mom occasionally bought me Corn Flakes and Puffed Wheat, then Froot Loops came along for the little ones once they were older.

I remember supressing an occasional gag, I was so tired of oatmeal.

No fried mush for me. :)
 
For the past few years it's plain steel cut oats with some ground flax, an apple, and some of whatever fruit we happened to have, berries, orange, melon, etc. Every once in a while when available it may be a mix of steel cut and whole oat groats. By the time breakfast rolls around I've already had my limit of coffee...heavy sigh, limit on coffee...

I seem to be someone that can eat the same thing pretty much everyday and not only enjoy it, but look forward to it. Since April lunch has begun to follow the same pattern too. We've been having the same entree pretty much every day because I came up with something that we both really like. Does this mean I'm truly getting old and set in my ways?
