LOVE Sunday after Mass we head to a local diner. Can't beat the smell of coffee and frying in a diner!!!

We stop by McD on the way to church (we get there early to make coffee and set things up for after service treats) . . . and pick up two sausage patties for me and a breakfast burrito for DH and coffee (for it takes a LONG time to make 100 cups!). I'm not fond of most of the breakfast food at McD and the sausage works for me!

Leftover hot and sour soup.

I just had a rice cake with peanut butter and a cup of coffee. Just got back from a two week cruise and of course I ate too much so trying to get some control back.

My daughter and family are in town... well, about to leave town and I'll meet them at the Runway Cafe at Wiley Post airport. She has been staying with her dad this time.

Sunday is the one day a week that we have an old fashioned hearty breakfast, usually here at home but occasionally out. Today it was the special very thick-sliced bacon that I sometimes get at the local meat market, very low and slow in the frying pan so that all the fat renders out but it doesn't burn in the meantime. Fried potatoes, eggs, toast.

Marilyn, I have tried and tried to like oatmeal - can't. We had to eat it as a kid and I hated it then and still do. I've had it all kinds of ways and I've tried steel-cut, old fashioned, quick, brown sugar, maple sugar, cinnamon - nada. I wish I liked it because it's so good for you. I'll make myself eat it if I break down and make some but I have to force it down.

Egg,bacon and sausage for me. All that plus add rice and bread fried in butter to SOs plate. Sunday is his one day off usually and otherwise he eats little to nothing for breakfast and just stays hungry all day so on Sunday I try to get some sort of calories in him. Sometimes I add fried potatoes, but he didn't want them this morning. We'll be full until late tonight off of that meal.

In a few minutes, we’ll be heading out to a local volunteer fire company to have their once a month fund raising breakfast. Eggs cooked to order, pancakes, toast, choice of two meats (ham, mackerel, sausage or bacon), Dutch fries, coffee, tea, and orange juice. They’ll serve 400-500 people this morning.

Stopped by Waffle House on the way to work this morning to get a to-go meal. Had a craving for cheesy eggs, raisin toast and bacon.

Just black coffee for me, but my son has requested waffles. My husband made a batch last weekend and we have some leftover in the freezer. I'll make homemade syrup they all like so much.

An omelet filled with "Cajun Crab Dip" and shredded cheese, with toast and a large latte.

ritaweeda - I feel the same way about oatmeal as you do. I too had to eat it as a child and hated it then and still hate it. I hate the gumminess of it.

Feathers - How do you make homemade syrup - is this like a blueberry syrup?

I'm going for our regular Sunday hike with neighbourhood friends this morning and had 2 slices of toast with a slice of swiss cheese and 1/4 of an avocado in between and 1/2 banana and coffee.

Blfenton, here is the basic recipe I start with:

Mix equal parts brown sugar and water, bring to boil. Add a pinch of salt. Slowly stir in about a tablespoon of cornstarch that's been dissolved in a bit of cold water. Let this simmer a few minutes to cook the corn starch. Remove from heat and as it cools add any of the following:

Maple extract, for traditional maple flavor.

Any other extract. I always add vanilla.

Fruit combos: Add the zest and juice of an orange. Or the zest/juice of a lemon with some muddled blueberries. Or almond extract with muddled cherries.

Leftovers keep in the fridge for several days, so I usually make a batch on Sundays for the week. Serve it over crepes, pancakes, etc., and also over oatmeal and yogurt.

I've been making homemade syrups since my kids were young and I realized store-bought bottled syrup is just sugar-water and flavoring. And for what you get, it's expensive (the exception being real maple syrup, of course).

This post made me hungry for steel ground oatmeal, along with a couple slices of toast made from homemade flax bread and a bite of peach crumble that I made yesterday.

Love oatmeal thick, not runny and really good on crispy buttered toast.

I buy mine at Sprouts, in bulk.

My breakfast will be lunch. Sausage patties and cheese eggs.

I love oatmeal too........thick and gooey and cooked long and slow. Scottish porridge that I grew up with :-) Best served with a pat of butter and demerara sugar.

I am thinking it is time to make a Dutch Baby for a late morning breakfast with a cup of green jasmine tea.

I'm another who doesn't care for oatmeal. It's a texture problem; I have a great deal of difficulty eating anything that I perceive to be slimy or gloppy. Included in those things are runny eggs, oatmeal, chicken skin that isn't crisp and salads that have too much mayo in them (potato, pasta, egg salad, etc.).

Breakfast this morning is going to be a pork verde burrito with a side of fruit salad topped with yogurt and a couple spoonfuls of coconut granola.

Over easy egg along with a few slices of bacon, coffee.

Just take it slow and easy, rob. :-)

We had scones and mixed cantaloupe, watermelon, honeydew and blueberries. First time I've had decent honeydew in eons.

What kind of surgery? Protein will make you feel better and heal faster..

I had the usual....grapefruit juice, coffee, home made bread toasted with home made jelly....crab apple today.

Hysterectomy :( Six days into "three-four week recovery". Patience isn't my forte

Sunday DH and I do a Cryptic crossword together and then have brunch which he is cooking these days. Bacon, egg (scrambled today) OJ and toast. The toast is made from homemade bread and DH has been experimenting with various wheats which he mills and bolts himself-makes a thorough mess but he enjoys himself. You got your hard wheat, soft wheat, winter wheat, spring wheat, red wheat, white wheat in a mind numbing conflation of varieties that have to be minutely examined for qualities like protein percentages and lord knows what else. This particular bread is very good. I cant say that every week.

I made Hash browns and boudin and a Sliced tomato.

I made apple muffins. New recipe from King Arthur. They're really good!

gardengal...I found this funny cause hubby grew up in boarding schools in Scotland and can't stand any kind of porridge or oatmeal! Woke up to it every day for 7 years!

I love oatmeal but it was not a norm growing up....we had the egg, toast, sausage or bacon most often....so oatmeal was a nice change....perspective is funny. And let me have some cold Cheerio's and I would go crazy! Cold cereal to my father was him failing to make a decent breakfast....we loved it. To this day my husband is shocked my first cold cereal choice is Cheerio's

An old childhood favorite this morning...Eggs a la Goldenrod. My mom made them often, but we just called them Goldenrods.

And I just had one of my favorites......a bacon sarnie! Very crisp bacon between toasted and buttered sourdough bread.

A bowl of Wheat Chex.

Impossible quiche today and tomorrow. I love this stuff and starting making it because of KT the last couple of months. Someone posted the recipe and it always turns out wonderful. Great reheated also.

I went to the grocery yesterday and decided to get some of the olive bruschetta mix from the olive bar, and a mixed grain baguette. So this morning I had sliced baguette topped with a hard boiled egg chopped up with some of the olive, and a thin slice of mozzarella all warmed in the toaster oven.

Judy Good, would you mind posting the recipe for the Impossible Quiche, please. I did a search and it did not turn up.

I also like oatmeal, sometimes I like it savory with a sprinkle of parmesan and salt and pepper. Other times I'll have it with a drizzle of maple syrup or a spoonful of homemade jam. I seldom have it for breakfast, though, it's more likely that I'll have it for a quick supper.

Here it was a special breakfast, my grandson spent the night and it was his 14th birthday. Breakfast request was scrambled eggs with cheese, bacon and crepes with Nutella and powered sugar. The smell of bacon got him right out of bed, LOL.

I had one egg, over easy, and a slice of toast, like pretty much every other day. Black coffee for me, chocolate milk for the birthday boy.
