The Princess gets her favorite breakfast

While Elery and I went to visit his new granddaughter (well, she was born in January, but we hadn't met her yet), The Princess came to babysit the dogs, then spent the night because we were home late. The next morning I asked what she would like for breakfast and she said she had not had crepes in "a long, long time". So, crepes it is.

What does she want in her crepes? Silly question:

Yeah, I need to buy more Nutella, she used it all, and sprinkled the top with powdered sugar. So, what goes with crepes? Fresh local bacon, of course, and somehome smoked Canadian bacon for Elery to put in his crepe with scrambled eggs.. Yes, I know it's unheard of, but I don't care for crepes, I had toast with my eggs.

And her favorite drink:

Yes, she'd prefer bottled Starbucks to my freshly roasted and ground, pour over coffee, made with green beans from Costa Rica. Heathen...

She was happy though, and the dogs were happy, and so I'm happy too.

LindaC, you can borrow Bud, any time! He's got so much energy that I can work him all day just to wear off energy and he's still going full steam at night!

Nancy, like you, I'm not a fan of Starbucks, and I don't care for my coffee cold, I want it hot. She's a kid, though, what does she know? (grin)

Madonna, come visit any time. I'll feed you well, I promise.

2many, I've tried to foist off iced coffee with cream and sugar, with that Torani syrup, with coffee creamer. It's gotta say Starbucks and come in a bottle, LOL.

AnnT, now that she's older, I don't get to spoil her as often. She has friends and dances and sports and practices, now that she's in high school. At least she doesn't have a boyfriend. Yet.

Peppi, I didn't have whipped cream or she'd have added it, I'm sure. Sweet and more sweet, if she could add another layer of sweet, she'd have been even happier.

All the grandkids have their favorites so if they're all here, it's harder. Bud likes chocolate chip pancakes, or plain pancakes with my homecanned apple cinnamon syrup. The Princess likes her crepes, and her Apprentice Princess, Madison, likes strawberries. Plain or sliced or made into jam, she doesn't care, she loves 'em. Maci is a potato eater, as long as we have hash browns she's good to go. Thankfully they all like bacon, but if I hit all the likes, we have a BIG breakfast.

How fun for the Princess! Lucky for her that cheerleading burns so many calories! So where are the pics of the newest little princess in the family? Photos or it didn't happen! LOL

RR, I love my life too. It's busy and crazy and full and sometimes I'm tired, but I love it all. Even that snow out the kitchen window. Tell Maggie to eat an extra cookie for me, but don't tell her that I let Makayla have COFFEE in that Christmas mug by her elbow. Well, about a cup of milk with lots of sugar and a little bit of coffee, but still, it was coffee, and so very "grown up". Bud just wanted milk with his cookies, he's such a brother! Those cookies were SUPPOSED to be checkerboards, LOL, but they were a little.....um......misshapen. (grin) Cathy, we let Makayla pass out presents at the family Christmas party too, she even got to wear my elf hat that plays "We are Santa's Elves". The kids got $50 worth of fun out of that $5 hat! Pat, I like peanut butter on Ritz crackers, I'm not so sure about adding chocolate, I'll have to try that. Ann, playing with the kids is one of life's greatest pleasures for me, they don't expect me to act like a grownup! Annie Annie

Favorite breakfasts?

I've never used protein powder, and have no plans to do so. Soy protein or whey protein isolate isn't something I call food. Breakfasts are from the following overall choices: (they're all my favorites). I do need protein at breakfast. Egg-based: soft or hard cooked eggs, poached eggs, omelettes with cheese and whatever looks good in the fridge, or fried. Sometimes quiche. Sometimes scrambled. When i can, i'll stir up some leafy greens to accompany. Maybe half an avocado. Very occasionally, bacon. Dinner leftovers. Seafood, meat, or tempeh, along with veggies. Basically, dinner for breakfast. Winter often means oatmeal, either rolled oats or steel cut, cooked in water, but i add some whole milk or yogurt at the end. And either berries, apple chunks, or banana, or failing fruit, a little brown sugar. I like my grandmother's touch of a pat of butter to melt in to the top of the oatmeal. Beverage of choice: coffee. Tea is sometimes good for a change. I only drink juice if I am out. And I dislike continental breakfasts, or high carb breakfasts - too sweet or carb-y for me. I get dizzy on that!! When in a hurry, I do hard or soft cooked eggs, or I nuke leftovers. I do love making savory Indian uttapam pancakes, but they are Not Spur of the moment. Basically, rice, lentil, fenugreek, tomato, onion, curry leaf - and the first two ingredients need to soak a bit prior to preparation.

Get Up, It's Time For Breakfast

chisue clarified after your first comment that the studies she saw had to do with coffee that was made using paper filters. In English, a coffee filter is most often is made of paper (and she said explicitly she used a Melita cone, which involves a paper filter). More recently, there are reusable replacements made of fine mesh. I remember seeing a study or two in the past and I think what was thought to be the troublesome part from a health standpoint was material contained in the sediments that could be removed only by using a paper filter. But i don't remember well enough to be certain. I'm not sure what you're thinking of. Your comment above about French press coffee and cafe filtre were not correct.

Do you eat breakfast foods for breakfast or can you eat anything?

I eat a breakfast-type breakfast every morning, and have all my life. Other than cold leftover pizza in college, that is. For the majority of my life though, there is no way I could or would eat leftovers from the night before, etc. My DH is a family practice doc and he’s very into healthful eating. I agree, having been in the healthcare field myself for many years, but I absolutely refuse to eat food that’s “good for me” but tastes boring or ugh! Thank goodness we both love to cook and experiment with recipes, as I can honestly say that we eat delicious breakfasts every day of the week.

Grand kids who help are about the best thing!!
Feed them steak, lobster, bacon and whatever...!
Just tell them to keep coming back....and you will feed them whatever they want!
My current helping grand daughter works for Gramma's bread, soup for her freezer and a bottle of wine.
the boy-kid works for the biggest steak I can find, and a good craft beer.
Sadly, they are moving to distant places!

Ellen, she's 5'7" now, and since competitive cheer is done for the season, she joined the dance team. She's gotta keep moving, you know...

FOAS, come by any time, although it's a long trip to watch two old dogs sleep all day. I'd give you crepes and Nutella and Starbucks, though, if that's what you REALLY wanted. (grin) Or grass fed steak and fresh eggs and homemade bread and good hot coffee if you'd rather.

LindaC, I'm sorry they're moving, who is going to work for bread, steak, wine and beer if they move?

Grankids have all the fun, that looks yummy, but with your coffee please. I've just never cared for Starbucks, bottled or fresh.

Oh, Annie, adopt me. Everything looks so good and I know it was. You have instilled good taste in the Princess. It's a crying shame that all children can't have a grandma like you.

I'm up for adoption as of right now. I'm very good with dogs.

Those crepes look wonderful... Elery has the right idea, Canadian Bacon and eggs in his : ) I also love blueberry filled, with mint sauce.

Have you ever considered making iced coffee with cream and sugar and tempting your Princess with that? Tastes very similar... don't ask how I know : )
