What's For Breakfast?

5 years ago

I had not had this in months, had French toast and sausages. I had maple syrup with it and iced tea. Did you have breakfast and what did you have?

    I usually go for the bigger breakfast and little or nothing in the evening for supper. This morning I had an over easy egg with buttered toast, a piece of blueberry pie and iced tea. I have eggs quite often, but do like other things for breakfast. Sue

    That looks different than mine, almost like a cat or squirrel giving an experimental chew. On mine they are roughly circular with smooth edges, I'm assuming from a leaf cutter bee. ez

    As I recover from abdominal (and abominable) surgery, we've declared Wednesday an "Egg Day" -- along with normal Sunday breakfasts. Two fried eggs for DH; one for me -- little butter. Half a gigantic muffin. Coffee for DH; mostly milk-coffee for me. DH has a steering committee meeting this morning for Grand Times, the Senior group that mentors within the high school. I will 'step out' for the first time since Oct. 11 for a late afternoon appointment with my internist -- primarily for blood test to see if my hemoglobin is rising enough. Happy news about Cubs win last night. We don't watch the games; wait to find score in the mornings. Too stressful!

    Artemis, I make overnight steel cut oats about 3 time's a week thru the cold weather for the boys. Simple... 1 cup steel cut oats 4 cups water Add them to the slow cooker/crock pot, stir, cover, cook on low overnight. If you want to add cinnamon wait until right before serving or the cinnamon tends to stick around the edge of the crock and burn. You could add finely diced apples, dried fruit, or nuts night before. I usually just make it plain as that the boys preference.

    Just woke up, slept too long. Stok iced coffee and either a mini waffle and bacon or leftover tamale pie I made yesterday. I froze most of the tamale pie for lunch meals. The waffle is sounding better and I need to use up the mix I made or freeze it.

    Friends insisted that they share various tropical fruits with me for the green stuff from my CSA that I can not eat. This morning it was rambutan, frozen blueberries, some other type of round fruit whose name escapes me and a slice of what is sold as swiss cheese at my grocery store. Since I have never found holes on the inside I have my doubts as to what it is.

    Grits baked with egg, cheese, sausage, peppers, garlic, and herbs. I add Cajun seasoning to my grits as well as chicken broth and hot chilies. I prefer to use chocolate Habanero chilies (half of one is enough), but I often use chile de arbol instead, since I always have those on hand. I generally put three of those, as that would equal the heat of one half of a chocolate Habanero chili. Chocolate Habanero is hotter than regular Habanero, but not all that much.

    I also had English Breakfast tea, but it was not particularly bleak😉.

    I'm coming to your house for breakfast tomorrow, Lars! lol!

    My breakfast was spoon sized shredded wheat, milk, orange, sliced banana and coffee. Will be eating lighter today, since I overate yesterday at dinnertime with a teenburger and onion rings from A&W. Then two bowls of ice cream.

    Potato frittata - similar to a Spanish tortilla, but I make this with onion, red bell pepper, chilies de arbol, potatoes, Monterey Jack and Cheddar cheese (Jack inside, Cheddar on top), and 8-10 eggs. I used two pounds of Yukon Gold potatoes in this one. This is a non-stick pan, which I bought specifically for frittatas, and it has an all metal handle so that it can go into the oven.

    I didn't photograph it after I cut it, as I did not think it was that interesting. I used to make this in cast iron, and it would always partially stick to the pan.

    Notice my new refrigerator hooks, for holding my oven mitts and favorite spatulas. These are the ones I used for serving the frittata, as they do not harm the non-stick surface.

    Some of these breakfasts are mind blowing! I suppose you get used to it but I couldn't face those huge meals at that time of day. Do you eat again that day? How on earth do you move for the rest of the day? And how do you have time and motivation to do all that prep and cooking first thing in the morning?

  • 5 years ago

    That is an odd collection of question marks above. Clearly this is a small slice in ones day and not every day. 40+ posts and mostly simple half avocado, fruit, toast, and an egg. When we make grits/polenta, the rest goes in a small mini bread pan to solidify for another breakfast/lunch to be pan seared. I make a frittata once, sometimes twice a month. Often for dinner but after a long work week it can be a nice sunday brunch...serves 6-8 depending on the amount of eggs and also keeps fine in the fridge for next day lunch.

    This is a cross post with the cooking forum so tossing a breakfast together is no biggie.

    We had a big salad for dinner last night but not that hungry spending the morning in the garden and it got hot so just some fruit and an giant iced tea was fine. Not every day is carb loaded.

    We might do a frittata, waffles, corn cakes, hash browns, omelette, ....once twice a year but most when we have weekend overnight guests or pre-covid a brunch out meeting friends.

    Most in the cooking forum and kitchenTable can regulate their intake depending on the meals the day before or 'what's for dinner'.

    I'm prepping a small rack of ribs and a few salmon fillets to go on the smoker. (smoked salmon for tomorrows Sunday brunch). I would make a small frittata but i only have two eggs at the moment.

    In my home and most here, a breakfast is using your larder and fridge without waste. Ripe avocado, bingo. Fruit, yogurt, granola...english muffin, toast, an egg.

    A frittata can serve many...a meal for brunch...light dinner folowing.

    Yesterday I was craving sauerkraut, so I cooked two Hebrew National low fat hot dogs (an impulse buy from the day before as was some rye bread - hmm maybe I was really craving salt?) and had them on the rye bread with sauerkraut, some dill pickle, a handful of fresh spinach, and Woeber's spicy brown mustard. Followed by a slice of chocolate cream pie. Lately my breakfasts have been happening between 12 - 1 PM.

    Today it was a mix of spinach, rocket (from the garden, it really has a bite!) and cole slaw mix with 2 chopped hard boiled eggs, a spoonful of cottage cheese, and just enough low fat ranch dressing to moisten/flavor - again on the rye bread. That will probably hold me until after 6 or 7pm.

    Lars I love a good Spanish potato tortilla. A couple of years ago Kroger was periodically doing "Taste of" various countries - they brought in some frozen ones that were really darn good. After they started clearancing them I bought several for the freezer. Wish they still carried them.

    I'm amazed no one mentioned oatmeal in this thread. You can add your favorite types of fruit to it, a little brown sugar, nuts (i like to add chopped walnuts or pecans sometimes), and of course a little milk. If there's any left you can refrigerate it and reheat the next morning for an easy breakfast.
