What do you eat for breakfast?

I put oats, yogurt, cinnamon, fruit, all together in a bowl, mix, then separate into 4, jars about 4 oz each. Put the lid on and put them in the refrigerator. After they sit overnight, the oats have soaked up the liquid from the fruit and yogurt, just warm up and they taste like cooked oatmeal with cream and fruit and whatever else you want to add-like nuts, etc.

Oh, yes. Our biscuits are round like small miniature loaf of bread. I don't know what your biscuits are like, Radish Rose says that you call them cookies. Ours are puffed up like bread, but a little different and we like lots of butter-anyway I do, in the mix and brushed on top! I love my butter!

Our biscuits are just like soft bread, and little.

I think your biscuits are more like our scones.. but savoury and not sweet like ours. Here biscuits are what you call cookies...

British scones...

I don't mind the five minutes it takes to cook oatmeal, which I make with water (rarely eat dairy). I don't generally plan meals ahead anymore.

DH & I keep lots of ingredients on hand so we can make spur of the moment food decisions based on what we feel like eating right then and there.

Yes scones can have fruit in them and do..but not with juice like in the picture. The fruit is almost always raisins or currents..although if you're making them at home you can choose to put anything in them you wish.. but traditional fruit scones have only the currants or raisins.. . The average scone though is made without fruit.. and when sliced open is spread with Jam (jelly) and cream

I like jelly.
 
The only place I know to get fresh baked scones is at Whole Foods and better get there early cuz they go fast! They sell all kinds, even choc chip.

I just like the currant scones and once I had a currant plus orange zest. Fabulous. I am a fan!

Jam and jelly are entirely different. Jelly is actually jelled, where as jam is much more like what is pictured on the right of your image above.

Little kids tend to like jelly because of the lack of "stuff" in it. Adults usually prefer jam.

jam with or without pith or fruit in it basically cheap jam or expensive jam) is all classed as Jam here.. except if we buy the french version in which case it becomes Conserve :D
