What's for breakfast?
Comments (23)Lol, you people are "sick".....talking about breakfast and cat barf at the same time! Nicole, I need to pick up some Pero. Can't drink coffee, too acidic, but enjoy something hot in the morning. This morning, I made shrimp and grits for my houseguests. Big success. :-) Okay, in the spirit of the detour that this thread took, I have a cat barf story that beats all. Our Paco has one of those tall carpet covered cat towers with several levels (basement, mezzanine, 3rd floor apartment, balcony, and the catbird seat). He uses every bit of it. A couple of weeks ago, he had a big snack followed up by a huge drink of water. (Know where I'm going with this?) After his drink, he trotted over to his tower, climbed to the top and immediately (!) started to heave. It landed on each and every level except the basement. Sigh....See MoreGood Morning!

Comments (10)I baked a Krusteze coffee cake from a box Thanksgiving eve. Not bad and easy as could be. Surprisingly, everyone had some for Christmas morning, and DD baked some cheese and sausage pinwheels too. We finished it off today with coffee and tea. I will do that again, but I won't use all the sugar topping as it was just a little too much. I miss that Aunt Jemimah streusel topped coffee cake mix that came with its own pan....See MoreWhat's for breakfast?
Comments (17)I used to have an apple, banana, raisins, peanut butter and a few candied pecans. But, now that I am trying to lose weight, I am just having an apple or pear sliced up with my peanut butter and coffee with my favorite creamer. I still might have the banana, just later as a snack. For years I had a high fiber cereal until one day I just couldn't eat it. Then my next kick was Vitalicious muffins. When I started eating them, I had to order them as few stores carried them. Now they are all over....See MoreWeek 91: What's for breakfast?
Comments (41)I need breakfast. Could skip lunch and even dinner but breakfast sets me up for the day. Monday through Friday: A serving of hot whole grain cereal (Bob's Red Mill 7-Grain is my fav) In winter I add a chopped apple while it's cooking. In summer, it's seasonal berries instead. I top w/ a tiny drizzle of real maple syrup, some steamed skim milk and a smattering of toasted walnuts. On the side I have a small fruit cup of chopped citrus w/ a dollop of yogurt. One cup of coffee with frothed skim milk. My DH loves a hearty breakfast - I don't like heavy or meaty food in the morning. On Saturdays he gets his fix at a breakfast place near our home which has a "Cheers-like" atmosphere. He always gets poached eggs on their homemade hash smothered in hollandaise with buttered rye toast on the side. I enjoy socializing with the workers & regulars, but I can't start the day with a meal like that! Sunday morning - every Sunday morning - it's crepes made by DH. I make crispy bacon to serve on the side and prepare seasonal fruit to put on top or have in a fruit cup with yogurt. The crepes are drizzled and rolled with real maple syrup. I serve marmalade or jams for those who like that as a topping. In summer when I pick berries I make fresh blueberry or raspberry syrups. Lattes for adults & the kids get chocolate milk on Sunday mornings;) The Sunday morning crepe breakfast/brunch is a "thing" with our family. We've done it since our kids were little and now our grandkids look forward to it, too. My weekday staples -...See More- 9 years ago
