What Did You Have For Breakfast?

[StarSong]

Yes, SS, I have an ongoing battle with using different sweeteners, I try to keep it to a minimum..I have not tried the applesauce, but will.

I buy Aldi's unsweetened applesauce, but can't get through a full jar before it spoils. When opening a new jar I split it into about 1 cup portions. Keep one in the fridge and freeze the rest.

Homemade Biscuits and Sausage Gravy... Yummy!

 

[StarSong]

Having some of the lentil soup I froze last week, to which I just added about two cups additional veggies, approx a cup of cooked barley and some seared tofu.

I rarely eat foods at their traditional mealtimes. Breakfast is almost always very heavy in vegetables. I'm much more apt to eat oatmeal for a snack or dinner than breakfast.

 

[Ruthanne]

Chicken and a salad..it was my first meal today so I'll call it Breakfast

 

[DebraMae]

Orange/pecan bread and coffee.

 

[Disgustedman]

Lumberjack slam at Denny's. I was served with probably 30% more food, for less than the Elmers' restaurant last month, for $3 less.

Going back in two weeks.

 

[PeppermintPatty]

Old fashioned oatmeal. I saw the oatmeal thread.

On Saturdays, I treat myself and have eggs, sausages or bacon, and waffles or pancakes. Today it was scrambled eggs with sausages and a waffle.

 

[dobielvr]

Some Genoa salami and lahvosh. (Armenian cracker bread)

 

[StarSong]

Old fashioned oatmeal. I saw the oatmeal thread.

I nearly always consume rolled (old fashioned) oats) in one form or another at least once a day. Threw 1/4 cup of uncooked oats into my morning vegetable stir fry today. I LOVE oats!

 

[OneEyedDiva]

"Barbequed" eggs and a slice of toast. No I didn't cook them on a grill. I used egg whites and added a little butter, lemon pepper, dried basil and Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ sauce when they were almost done. So good!

 

[Pappy]

A breakfast bar, banana and coffee.

 

[Twostep]

A pot of pitch black coffee, a chocolate covered donut sliced four ways and a good looking guy to share it with.

 

[OneEyedDiva]

One cheese blintz with agave, scrambled egg whites with lemon pepper and dried basil and green tea.

 

[StarSong]

A big stir fry of assorted vegetables, various leafy greens, berries, seared tofu, pickled ginger, and a few tablespoons of raw rolled oats that cooked along with them.

 

[RadishRose]

A thawed portion of roast pork loin on a bun w/ mayo. Coffee.

Sounds good. Are you using any kind of an oil for frying?

No oil. My standard breakfast:

I dry saute onions then garlic. Take that mix from the pan and dry sear some mushrooms. Add the onion/garlic back to the pan, add a little water or unsweetened fruit juice, plus a good helping of the frozen vegetable mix that I make up in advance (about 10 different veggies). Then I cut up some baby bok choy, napa cabbage if I have it, a couple of handfuls each of Costco power greens, shredded green cole slaw mix, a little shredded purple cabbage and a handful of arugula when I have it.

I also add 1/2 cup defrosted mixed berries, about 1 tbsp sliced pickled ginger, some seared tofu and rolled oats.

Occasionally top it with a few thin slices of avocado, but usually not. It's a lot of food as far as bulk goes, but I'm almost always hungry again within 3 hours. Like now.

Today's lunch will be a quite large red leaf lettuce salad with assorted fruit and veggies, along with cooked barley and tofu to add staying power.

Leftover pizza

Leftover pizza

The breakfast of champions!

 

[StarSong]

My breakfast surely sounds like a lot of effort and a ton of food @dobielvr, but only takes about 30 minutes to whip up. Lots of nutrients and fiber, and the results are similar to the old adage about eating a a big meal at a Chinese restaurant but being hungry an hour later because it's mostly vegetables.

Although I'm consuming about 3-4 cups of cooked down food, it surely comes down to fewer than 500 calories. Very little fat or sodium. Far less than eggs, bacon or sausage, and potatoes and/or toast.

 

[Twostep]

I have serious cravings for canned ravioli. Cold!
