Breakfast Foods

[Anndreak]

What does everyone's breakfastes consist of? I've been eating oatmeal for months now and I need some new ideas to spice things up. Any sugguestions?

I sometimes like to eat lunch or dinner leftovers for breakfast. Yesterday I had a baked sweet potato, curried lentils, and sweet-and-sour red cabbage. Today it was oatmeal with berries.

I buy the frozen shredded hashbrowns and microwave them and throw on some ketchup...not super exciting, but a nice change.

Smashed potatoes with cut green beans during the work week. Weekends varies from oatmeal to beans and corn tortillas. Lately, I've been doing my oatmeal as a granola and snacking on it during the day.

I'm big on having a green fruit smoothie for breakfast. Sometimes I just have a bowl of puffed rice with rice milk. Sometimes its just a piece of fruit. I've never been a big breakfast eater so sometimes I force myself to eat something in the morning. I've found if I eat beans at breakfast, I'm barely hungry the rest of the day......but I hardly ever want beans in the morning.

I usually do oatmeal w/froz blueberries, and two fruits. Sometimes I switch out the oatmeal for a sweet tater. Weekends, I often eat a soup I have going in the crockpot the night before.

I have potatoes—either small roasted potatoes with unsweetened ketchup, or a baked potato with mwl hummus. I make a bunch over the weekend and only have to reheat them in the morning. Nice and easy.

I like steel cut oatmeal best. It's slightly crunchy. It takes a little more time that regular oatmeal, so I make a big pot of it, and what I don't eat the first day I put into some single serving microwave proof Tupperware dishes and refrigerate. In the morning I can grab, nuke, and add some fresh berries and a little soy milk.

I also like multigrain cooked cereal or puffed cereal with fruit.

Yams are nice, too. Any time.

My fave these days is some sort of green (romaine, mixed baby, spinach, green or red leaf), tomato, Nayonaise, on either corn thins or Ezekiel English Muffins. (I'm doing the regular program.)

On the weekend I either make grits or hash browns with one 'sausage'.

I saw this recipe and think this looks pretty good for breakfast.

Also, there is a sweetpotato apple recipe somewhere it seemed it would do okay for desert or breakfast.

My breakfast is no different from lunch or dinner. For example:
- Already baked potato (or two), reheated.
- Vegs.
- Fruit.
- Small cup of pumpkin/hazelnut pudding (to add fiber and to help me gain weight, because it contains sugar).
