About different breakfasts

Marianne72

Since retiring, I've had time to spend making creative breakfasts. I recorded these in my Journal for six months, with different things every day. I was surprised how easy it was. For example, humble beans on toast can be flavoured in many ways [soy, brown sauce, red sauce, curry paste & raisins]. I watched a Ruth Goodman documentary about Victorian breakfasts and it was a heart attack on a plate, a banquet that included kippers, kidneys, sausages, mushrooms and eggs in several ways. My favourites now are 'something on toast' [beans, eggs, tomatoes, mushrooms], bitesize shredded wheat with banana, followed by fresh fruit and homemade yoghurt. I enjoy kippers but difficulty disposing of the skin and the smell makes this a rarity.

What are your 'go to' breakfasts? Do you eat early or late [brunch]. Do you like the same things every day or a variety?

Parents

  • Most of us have have cereal weekdays (though this is a mix-up of several different boxes but not chocolate ones), bagel on saturday (for me with marmalade), and currently frozen pastry cooked up hot on a sunday.

    The main difficulty being everyone has a different thing on their cereal, my son takes coconut, my husband almond and I have no-sugar oat/almond. Coupled with my son likes a smoothie to drink (not juice) and my daughter likes juice (more than a smoothie), there is a lot of things to get out the fridge!

    My daughter is not a breakfast person.  It can be be stressful to get her to eat before 8.30, which is when school starts (it was easier in the holidays). Sometimes it is dry cereal, with some orange juice on the side (she doesn't do milk except for some oat in tea), sometimes fresh fruit, sometimes yogurt, on a weekend sometimes toast, fried egg on toast with roast tomatoes, possibly a sausage or bacon, not so much beans in the morning now but did for a while (prefers beans on toast for lunch/dinner). We went to a pancake house once for brunch and she had tomato pasta. She won't have bagels or pastries. It can be stressful to get her breakfast.
