OT- Favorite Breakfast - YouLookFab Forum

Steffie

It is so, so naughty.... but biscuits and sausage gravy. I had never even heard of it before I moved to the South. I'm pretty sure it can kill you, but oh my GOODness, it is delicious!!

When I know I'll be needing a stick-to-my-ribs breakfast that will keep me energized and full until mid-afternoon (won't even think about lunch), my favorite breakfast is old fashioned oatmeal with a handful of raisins, a big spoonfull of chunky, salted natural peanut butter stirred in, with a dash of ground ginger, cloves and cinnamon, topped with some skim milk. Yummy, healthy and very filling.

I cannot wake up without my breakfast: this is my most important meal of the day! My usual fare is fruit + high fiber/low sugar cereal + nuts + yougurt (I hate milk!) or oatmeal with nuts, fruit and honey + coffee.

I love savory--eggs, bacon, sausage, fish, rice, etc. 9 times out of 10 though, I eat old fashion rolled oats with milk. If I'm feeling inspired, I throw in some raisins and cinnamon.

I like to save my calories for other meals, so I go "light" in the a.m. My favorite right now is a buttermilk shake. I know it sounds horrible, but it is super yummy. 1/2 cup frozen peaches, 1 cup buttermilk, 1 t. vanilla and a little sweetner. Whip it up in the blender and waalaa, you have a peach milkshake! Only 2 points for WW (if I remember right)

Vani, that Idlii sounds delish. I think that may be the only way I could palate cream of wheat!

My usual breakfast is oatmeal sprinkled with cinnamon, raisins and chocolate chips and a large glass of OJ.

One of my favorites is scrambled eggs, fried catfish (in the pic, take out the ham), biscuits and gravy, and a cheesy hashbrown casserole. This is the "Uncle Herschel's Favorite " at Cracker Barrel restaurant.

Sveta- do you mix the yogurt into your cereal, or do you eat it plain?
I eat cereal plain when I eat it.
I really prefer a sweet breakfast, but then I feel like poo the rest of the day, so I am trying to learn to like savory.

Mmm, breakfast is my favorite meal of the day. Asking me to pick a favorite breakfast is like asking me to pick my favorite child! Sweet or savory, there are so many yummy ones. I do cycle through periods of eating one type of breakfast then move on (or rather, back) to another fave. I also go through periods where I only have tea (loose leaf or Stash tea bags) or only coffee (a good espresso please). Here are a few current faves: croissants (plain or chocolate filled); fresh bread with cheese and/or ham or sometimes jam and butter (this morning it was an olive bread with cheese and butter); toast with sunflower butter or almond butter; and homemade pumpkin whole wheat muffins. Usually have a bit of fresh fruit or orange juice too. Weekend breakfasts tend to be various pancakes, including Dutch baby pancakes (also known as the Huffy Puffy ~ love these with sliced apples sauteed in butter and cinnamon or else piled high with fresh berries), or some type of egg dish.

When it gets colder, I'll be eating a lot more hot cereals like steelcut oatmeal and cream of wheat. Extra delish with currants or raisins and sprinkled with cinnamon or cocoa powder!

Kris, I mix yougurt with the cereal and fruit. It softens the cereal but doesn't make it all mushy as milk does.
I attribute a big chunk of my weight loss due to eating low sugar / high fiber cereal for breakfast (I mean really high fiber - at least 7g of fiber per 35 g of cerial!) It fills me up so I don't snack at all during the day (except for an apple). You need to have protein as well and yougurt and nuts supply it for me.
I like Nature Path cereal and buy it at Costco.

Easy! Toasted garlic bagel with lox and cream cheese, with tomato, onions, and capers. LOVE it.

On the weekends, I cook sausage or bacon with scrambled eggs, dark German bread with Swiss fruit-only raspberry preserves or Nutella. On work days, I enjoy a hard boiled egg, Danon Active Probiotic drink, a Kashi crunchy granola bar and fresh fruit if I'm still hungry. I always have two (small) cups of dark roast coffee with a dash of half and half.

Mmm, I love breakfast.
My grandpa used to make me crepe style pancakes every morning when we'd stay with them as kids (and adults!). He made them in the shape of gingerbread men and made them buttons out of butter.
He is not well enough to do that any longer, but last year he taught my husband how to do it (his recipe has been a coveted secret for years). So even though I prefter other things for breakfast, nothing tops my grandpa's pancakes as my favorite.
Right now I eat protein smoothies or turkey sausage, eggs, and a piece of fruit for breakfast every day. I adore steel cut oats but my diet doesn't allow them so it's a treat once in awhile with a splash of milk, raw cane sugar, walnuts, craisins, and raisins. Yum!

At the weekend it's scrambled eggs on poppy seed bread or pain au chocolate! Most mornings I'm so bleary eyed I can only face a bowl of cheerios with semi skimmed milk.

savory - I eat eggs/egg whites most every morning. My favorite would probably be an egg white omelet with veggies, good peppered bacon, and hash browns.

Definitely sweet, I just can't do savoury before 10 am. I'm also one of those people who eat the same thing for breakfast for months on end, then I tire of it and move on to the next thing.

First thing in the morning I can't eat so I would rather go without. By 9 - 10am I am ready for savory. Let's say bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich. I know, I know, I have just appalled everyone. I am sorry. I also love chocolate croissants but I find that I really need protein to charge full-steam ahead. This is strictly week-day speak, not weekend. I would probably be bigger on cereal/muslix because it is tasty and quick, but milk makes me feel yucky. I am against all mushy foods, so that takes out a large swath of breakfast possibilities.

Does anyone else ever eat cheese on toast for breakfast? Maybe it's a Russian thing but I love it. Super yummy.

On a daily basis I just eat cereal or oatmeal, but often times I forget to eat breakfast at all... Like today. It's bad, I know.

It's hard for me to say as I love a good short stack with real maple syrup and a side of links. But I think that my most fav is an egg over easy, hash browns and links served with good old fashioned drip coffee with cream and sugar; I'm dark and bitter enough!

Breakfast food in general is awesome, however. Melon and prosciutto, breakfast breads, doughnuts from Top Pot, a nice Ruby Red grapefruit half with coffee... Mmm. Savory or sweet, I love it!

Edit: maybe I love it because I rarely get to eat breakfast! Boo! I'm not a morning person and never have time...

Perhaps boring was the wrong word? I guess unvaried is more like it. I'm like Inge and go for months eating cereal then months with toast. The only variation is weekends and then it's usually a cooked breakfast of some sort. There are so many yummy ideas here it's making me want to try a different breakfast every morning x

Marianna I love cheese on toast - but usually for when I cant be bothered cooking dinner! My "indulgent" brekky when I'm feeling naughty is thick french toast with berries & maple syrup (and ice cream if I'm hung over). I dont eat this often though because I'm on a low carb diet and it's not exactly low carb so it's usually bacon & egg on toast or english muffin.
