Ever since I landed in the hospital with diabetes I have been eating breakfast I like hot breakfasts so I have taken to cooking my own. They range from oatmeal to more involved dishes. I also started posting pitures of them on Facebook. My friends have gotten so used to seeing my breakfast posts wit descriptions and pictures that if I missed a few days phones start ringing and search parties organized. LOL
In addition when I go visit friends and stay at their place, see to it that I have my favorite ingredients on had so I can cook for them.
Do you cook your breakfasts and what are some of the dishes you like to cook for breakfast?
Here is what I cooked this morning.

TA DA! Breakfast! Eggs seasoned with Scarborough fair and pepper cooked on a flour tortilla in a buttered fry pan and topped with cooked chorizo, sauteed potato, scallion, and mushrooms, diced bell peppers in 3 colors, cheddar cheese, salted thin sliced tomato. Served with coffee and strawberries.

That looks yummy.
Probably 3-4 days a week i make eggs for the family with some sort of sides (veggies, bacon, potatoes etc) and sometimes this takes the form of a sort of scramble. We have a "European" breakfast the other times - wasa bread, cheese, cold cuts, fruit and veggies. Once in a while i make pancakes.
I put on a pot of oatmeal once and only 2 of the 6 in the family had any
Breakfast is my favorite.
Oh let's see, low carb sausage gravy. Basically just make gravy but instead of flour you use xanthan gum. The texture is a little tiny bit off from the real deal but hey, low carb and delicious. Throw that over scrambled eggs and enjoy.
Another fun thing is taking some sort of thin sliced preserved deli meat product of choice (ham, prosciutto, capicola, salami, turkey, whatever) and lining a cupcake pan cup with it, cracking an egg in, and sprinkling some cheese on top. Bake for about 15 minutes at 350, pop it out and enjoy.
Scrambled eggs smothered in leftover green chile or red chili(no beans).
A crustless green chile, ham, mushroom, and cheese quiche is also pretty awesome and very easy to make. Any quiche is pretty simple really, and you can get crazy with the ingredients.
Hi Colleen,
Some good ideas Colleen. I do most of my cooking on top of the stove. Your quiche sounds good and similar to a frutata type dish I made up on the stove top before I knew what a frutata was. I like fresh veggies and cheese in my breakfast with some sort of breakfast meat.

A quiche isn't much more than a frittata in a crust. Mixing stuff into eggs and cooking them up is about the most versatile breakfast idea there is.
Also, yes, coffee is life. I've been drinking this lately and it is fantastic https://nmpinoncoffee.com/product/dark-pinon/

Hi Robyn,
My staple dishes are scrambled egg dishes with various meats and veggies, omelets, separate items of eggs, a breakfast meat and fried potato seasoned with usually Rosemary and with bits of diced onion and peppers.
For oatmeal I never use instant varieties, rather I use good old fashioned rolled oats or steel cut oats with cinnamon cooked right in. Old fashioned and steel cut take a bit longer to cook but they are less mushy and I use less water so they are more chewy. Brown sugar makes them taste better yet.
Steel cut oats for the win!

That looks awesome! My favorite is this vegan breakfast. It's tofu scramble with grits! (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170413/cb5cd65c95425d1699c3df7ed658da2e.jpg)
I had two big bowls of Cap'n Crunch the other night for dinner. Hey, I'm an adult. That means I'm under no obligation to act like one. 8)
Weekdays I go for simple. Old Fashioned rolled oats, bit of sea salt, tablespoon each of raisins and dried cranberries. Dash of cream or butter. Strong black coffee.
Weekends I devote more time. Cube 2 rashers bacon, chop one each potato, onion, zuccinni, mushrooms. Fry in cast iron then add 2 or 3 farm fresh eggs. Strong black coffee.
During the warm summer months I eat sitting naked on the patio, soaking in the Sun's power. Thanking Father God for the opportunity.
I am not a gourmet chef and your breakfast looks yummy, but I thoroughly enjoy cooking two over easy eggs every morning, one for me and one for my best friend in the world, my yellow lab, Bella!
My standard weekday breakfast is two or three eggs, scrambled or hard boiled, black olives, a can of sardines, and a drink I make with water, apple cider vinegar, chia seeds, and nutritional yeast.
It sounds pretty disgusting but it's quick and actually leaves me energized for hours.
In the weekends it's usually big omelets and bacon.

Hi Amada,
I can do the toast and grits. The tofu on the other hand I would probably pass on though I'm sure it can be prepared in many ways and likely Delicious ways. I do believe in letting people eat the foods they chose to eat even if they my not coincide with my choices. Enjoy your breakfast and yes, it does look good.
I have never been able to wrap my head around the vegan or vegetarian mindset. I'm a meat eater and like it. Veggies, salads and fruit make good snacks and side dishes. I feel the same about non gmo attitudes. I've been around too long to worry much about how healthy foods are for me and am perfectly happy eating cheaper plain ol foods as long as they taste good.
Hugs Amanda,

Hi Karen,
Thank you.
Simple breakfasts are good also. Nothing wrong with them at all.
I am not a gourmet cook either. I've never had a cooking lesson in my life other than those from my mom when I was growing up. I learned to mend clothes, do laundry so I could help out and take care of myself once I left home.
I do like to experiment though and have a fair idea of when will go with what food wise. Clothes? Well that is a whole different story.
Enjoy your eggs with your best friend,
Hugs,
Jeanette

Sausage is good. Especially Polish Sausage. The sauce is a Mexican Tomato Sauce called "El Pato" It comes in a yellow can and is the Hispanic foods section of Safeway and Winco in my area, but is available in most grocery stores I have been in. Not sure about over seas. There are others like Herdes that are good. Just not as good. If you don't like spicy food maybe this is not for you as the sauce is pica.

I had looked up El Pato but they had a few different ones. I suspected you meant the tomato but wasn't sure. Winco huh? If I remember right you are up here in the PNW somewhere like I am. We may have to arrange a meet someday.

That would be great. Perhaps some Wednesday evening at the Ingersoll Gender Center in Seattle or the Rainbow Center in Tacoma.
Those little cans from the Mexican section of the grocery store are great. The salsa verde is almost universally good from any of the brands you're likely to find. The chipotle peppers in adobo sauce are also fantastic but might be a little hotter than some like.
Once in a while and for no other reason than i've spent a lot of time in Japan in the past, we do a sort of light Japanese breakfast that consists of rice, fish, and miso soup.
Sometimes also Japanese pancakes - imagine your standard pancake batter with whipped up egg whites folded into it and then cooked inside metal rings over the stove. The result is extremely fluffy pancakes that are served with fruit.
I find it impossible to eat for several hours after waking up. I don't much like the feeling of eating unless hungry.
So breakfast consists of coffee.

Kylo and Dev,
I too used to have only coffee and usually one meal a day eaten whenever I got home from work which was at all hours. I heard over and over that my eating habits were not healthy. I never listened until I developed diabetes and wound up in the hospital for 6 days. That was the trigger to try to eat 3 meals a day and keep a loose eye on my carb/sugar intake. Lecture over. lol Ejoy your breakfasts.
Here's my breakfast this morning, Just basic fare.

I know I promoted my wieners and potato's in salsa. but most days it is fruit and a scoop of cottage cheese for breakfast. No toast, In fact if I can get away from consuming any kind of bread, I do.
Usually it's oatmeal made with oat milk, topped with fruit of the day and washed down with a cup of liquorice or green tea.
I've actually only started eating breakfast recently to try and get my cholesterol down, oats are supposed to be good for that so the nurse says. High cholesterol is genetic thing in my family which I can't do too much about other than avoid all the nice, tasty things.
Yay, oatmeal.
Hungrily,
Sadie.

I love good breads but one slice sends my blood sugar sky high and it take hours to come back down. I have to watch my carb and sugar intake since I became a diabetic when the removed half my pancreas. Having to cut back on the breads (and other goodies) I love is killing me but if I don't my diabetes could kill me instead.
I splurged a bit the other day and 4.5 hours after I ate lunch my blood sugar was 307.

Yes Sadie Oats are supposed to be good for the cholesterol. I was recently put back on a statin because my readings were creeping back up again. My doctor had me stop before because of liver enzymes starting to elevate. I didn't take anything for a couple years.
Too much eating of all those nice tasty things... lol You can have the tea, I'll stick to my coffee.

Good morning folks,
Did you enjoy your breakfasts this morning?
I fixed myself a simple favorite. Steak and eggs I cooked the staekin butter with garlic, salt and pepper. 2 fried eggs, and 2 thin slices of fresh sliced Italian bread with butter and slices of a mandarin orange.

Bon appetit
Jeanette
This morning I waited too long to go out and run and by the time I started it was really sunny and nearly 80 degrees. So, after getting way hot and cutting it short after about 55 min I went home and rewarded myself with a three egg cheese and onion omelette made with pastured eggs, cooked in bacon grease and covered in a lot of sour cream with four pieces of bacon on the side. Yummmm.
Now I've got a big corned beef in the slow cooker for tonight and am going to try spaghetti squash for the first time.
Conform and be dull. —James Frank Dobie, The Voice of the Coyote
Wow Deborah, and you were doing so well. Omelets are delicious but then you said something terrible about sour cream. :( It just doesn't belong in that dish. And corned beef? Yes please. Corned beef is a favorite around here. I bought 6 packages this last St Patty's week when they were on sale. Two are already gone. Spaghetti squash? I'll pass. Tried it again at my daughter's place when I last saw her and I'll still pass on it. You can have all of my serving. Please pass the corned beef. ;D ;D
Hugs,
Jeanette
Well, the spaghetti squash try out was a great success. After cooking it I sautéed it in a tbsp of olive oil with three minced garlic cloves. I added some salt, pepper, Italian spices and two tbsp of nutritional yeast. That gave it a cheesy taste. It was excellent, much better than I was expecting, so I'll be having this again.
Conform and be dull. —James Frank Dobie, The Voice of the Coyote

Sorry girls, spaghetti squash is off my menu. I've tried it a couple times and it's been a no go. I will leave it all to you and my daughter's family. Make mine zucchini.
Hugs,
Jeanette
Also a fan of that squash prepared as Deborah described. Never really got into it with marinara on it though. Some people truly treat it like pasta.
Sour cream on omelets definitely but to me it has to be a spicy omelet like chorizo or the like. That balances it out.
This morning's breakfast was quinoa salad with cucumbers and tomatoes in sort of a middle eastern dressing. I'm watching the intake very closely now as i am starting to lose more and more weight. Low cal and tasty breakfasts are not mutually exclusive though.
Spaghetti squash took me a few tries to get it right. I find that doing it in the microwave is by far the easiest. Stab it on both sides, then 7-10 minutes depending on size, flip it, another 7-10 and let it cool a bit. Hack it open, scrape the seeds, and get to shredding.
I like treating it like pasta, it works great with just about any sauce I've thrown on it even if it's just olive oil with garlic. It's also good tossed into eggs when scrambling.
Making "zoodles" with one of those spiralizers with zucchini or yellow squash is really good too. Spiralize it, sautee it briefly with a bit of olive oil, then toss it on a plate and sauce it. Or eat it as is. Down side: those have about three times the potassium of spaghetti squash, so for those of us on spiro it is a concern. It isn't as bad as a potato (a little over half as much potassium), but not something I think that I should be having every day.

Good morning Robyn,
You, Deborah and anyone else that like spaghetti squash can have my share, really I won't mind at all. I don't want to see food go to waste. Sour cream does have it's uses. I love stroganoff for example and I will agree that it would balance a spicy omelet. I would pass on it though as I prefer to on tacos, enchiladas, burritos and the like. I won't scrape it off like i do guacamole though.
Quinoa salad huh? Quinoa may be a food I have not tried yet. I will have to look into it as you salad does sound worth trying.
Weight loss? Congrats on being able to do that and I hope you are able to keep it up to reach your goal and get a girlish figure. More power to you Robyn.
Alas, I have a terrible problem with trying to control how much I eat and what I eat. I love the foods I am used to and fail continuously at controlling how much I eat. I think I am allergic to anything that would be considered heathy foods though my daughter had told me I and eating a lot healtier than I used to since developing diabetes. At least I try to cut back of the carb intake and am aware when I don't. I just love those food that are not good for me.
I had leftover pizza for breakfast this morning but only one slice. (that was the last slice. My sister ate the other 2)

Jeanette

I've never done a tofu scramble that looks interesting. How do you get the tofu to take on a flavor profile? Something like smoked paprika for instance?
I've found that sauteing it with a bit of olive oil and seasonings does wonders.
Also pan frying ~5mm thick slices of extra firm tofu with a bit of garlic salt on them until they get a bit crispy is really tasty.
We should start a food thread hehe

Thank you! I really love to imagine that I'm good at food! [emoji12]
Tofu's always been a challenge for me because I, as rule of thumb, tend to be minimalist with spices. My prefered method is to cube the tofu and mix it with hashbrowns and peppers; then I add in Daiya(aka coconut cheese aka pretend/wannabe cheese). It's really interesting to me that it tastes SO butterry! lol I had to double-check the ingrediants. I've also tried the more common method, but I really don't like the tactile sensation of squishing the tofu barehanded. ...We need to make more food talk happen! [emoji23]
If you want it to look more egg like without going hands-on, you might give a potato ricer a try.
Shakshuka is my go-to when I actually have time to cook breakfast! It's poached eggs in a spicy tomato sauce. I'll usually get some crusty French bread to eat on the side.
I just do smoothies or prepped egg muffins most of the time during the week. I have to work super early in the morning, but I'm off around noon so lunch and dinner I get to spend a little more time putting together.
Morning folks,
This morning I have visitors so I cooked a scramble for them and myself. it consisted of scrambled eggs of course, maple sausage, chorizo. onions, 4 colors of bell pepper and sliced tomato on the side.

The mess hall is where I learned to love it. To this day, I still consume everything I eat in six minutes. Thanks, Drill Sergeant!
I usually use ground beef, but the jar of sliced dried beef makes a mean one too, although it's a bit salty. If I have tuna cravings, I do a casserole, but this is a breakfast thread...or elevenses...or brunch...early lunch..........
I cook breakfast maybe once or twice a week. Depending on how many eggs I have.. I usually go all out with cooking dinner and a lot of times I'm making something for dinner that requires an egg for binding. I get a 18 pack and they surprisingly go pretty quick. I'm honestly surprised because I don't even like eggs that much. That's why the only time I make breakfast is either when I'm in the mood or I have a surplus of clean pans that I can "go wild" in the morning per se.
I've been thinking about starting to make fruit/oatmeal cups lately. Onely because my mom is old and diabetic and secondly my hubby isn't particular fan of salty greasy breakfasts.
I forgot to mention what I usually make.. usually I make a scramble of eggs with some potatoes o' brien to make it further. Its amazing how many calories are in an egg and how far it goes. You beat up four eggs for two people (me and hubby) and it literally looks either a whopping serving for one person, or a reasonable serving for one and scant serving for the second. Eggs are really good at disappearing when scrambled. When I make that I usually pepper the potatoe o' brien with a dash of cayenne pepper.
During the holidays I make a different version of that with kale. Same process of starting with the potatoes o' brien then adding some kale to cook down than the eggs. I add italian seasoning to the kale and potato mixture before adding eggs. When eggs are cooked top with mozzarella cheese and its a decadent breakfast indeed.
I've made two omelets. One was filled with cooked diced tomatoes, spinach and red onion. The other I made the other days was with some leftover green and red bell peppers, red onion. Omelets are pretty fun to make and very easy once you understand the technique.
But yeah dinner is my MO. I regularly spend 2 hours in the kitchen at night sipping some beer and making dinner.
I made Japanese style for everyone this morning because for some reason i could not sleep past about 5. Cold noodles, miso soup with little sheets of seaweed, rice, and a bit of fruit.
Your breakfasts all look soooo good! Mine is always the exact same thing ... brown bread with a little olive oil, black coffee, and a cup of hot water. Occasionally I'll poach an egg, but that's rare.

My three favorites are:
BLT with mayo on toast (sometimes with cilantro), bacon, egg, cheese on a roll with salt pepper and ketchup (a Long Island standard) , and hash browns covered with sausage gravy and 3 eggs over easy on top.
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Here is my breakfast menu for most mornings.
3 eggs over easy with sourdough toast and pre cooked unsalted bacon. This is followed by steel cut oats or yogurt and berries with nuts. 2 coffees and a couple glasses of milk.
Other mornings. Homemade Blueberry pancakes with over easy eggs and bacon.
Another favourite. Breakfast wraps. Start with a large wholewheat wrap. add scrambled eggs, chopped bacon, green peppers, mushrooms and homemade Salsa. Wrap it and eat.
Yum..looking through some of the other memes items listed here....
What to do with leftover steak? Why make a breakfast burrito of course.
I sliced some of the steak, added sliced onion, bell peppers and jalapenos in a fry pan and cooked a bit. Meanwhile I scrambled an egg which I then added to the steak/pepper mix and toasted a flour tortilla on the stove top. Put mthe filling on the tortilla, add cheese fold and eat.

So I've been thinking really
hard about all this healthy
eating habits and good start
to the day stuff a lot.
I mean, I'm a bit older now
and it would be nice if I took
better care of myself like
all of you do. So I decided to
start with breakfast food
that I like. Bacon. A pound
of thick cut bacon, cooked
completely crisp
(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi1279.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fy537%2FDevlynMarie%2F20170422_151446_zps3kr5bn4v.jpg&hash=141fae720b26c5c983b13b17fa1b216d2e229faa)
You can't have just bacon,
of course. That wouldn't be
a healthy decision, and after all,
the point of all of us sharing
our dishes and encouraging
one another to do better with
our eating habits is to enjoy
the benefits of a healthier life.
So I made a sauce.

In a saucepan I mixed:
2 cups sugar
1 cup light corn syrup
1 cup water
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Bring it it to 250° F then
put the bacon (remember the bacon?)
into the boiling sugar. From
here on it's constant stirring
over medium heat until it's 290° F.
Then in goes 3 tablespoons of
butter followed by 3 teaspoons
of baking soda. Stir vigorously
until frothing, then pour on a
sheet pan and pull towards
edges quickly. Allow to cool.

OMG Devlyn, That looks and sounds so delicious. I'm not so sure about it's healthy properties though. It could just raise my blood sugar level a but higher than even I would like to see it. (my doc already would have issues with some of the stuff I make) But is sure looks good. And it does not sound difficult to make either. I'd be tempted to swap maple extract in for the vanilla thought to get it even more of a maple flavor. Maple and sugar go well with each other.
thanks for the recipe Devlyn.
Hugs,
Jeanette
I should point out that I stirred until the brittle was frothing, not me! :laugh:
You're making me hungry, Devlyn! I'm definitely going to have to try this.

I'm getting ready to make a three egg omelette with pastured eggs, cheese, sweet peppers, onion, pulled pork BBQ, and of course topped with 1498 Trinidad Scorpion Hot Sauce.
I made my wife one earlier and she said it was really good.

Good afternoon Davina,
You got me on a couple items, can you elaborate for someone across the pond?
Porridge - I think that would be like a bowl of oatmeal?
U.K. style bacon - I haven't heard that one before.
Fried bread - sounds obvious but I can be wrong.

Hi Kadence,
I worry more about the carbs than potassium as I am diabetic. I too take spironolactone. I will use a medium potato for 2 or three breakfasts. I will usually have about half a potato for supper. I don't really worry about the potassium.
If you do, then I would suggest asking your doctor about your concerns and get their thoughts on the subject.

Gertrude's breakfast sounds really good to me. I could make a few and refrigerate, ready to grab breakfasts for a few days.
I most often cook rolled oats with flaxseed meal, real not instant oatmeal. It has a different texture than the instant stuff, and a different mix of carbs that digest more slowly, a lower glycemic index.
Runner up for cooking is a simple scramble with sautéed diced peppers and onions, a half English muffin, and butter or reduced sugar preserves.

Wow Trudie is that you or one of your daughters?
Ahh Yes, it's breakfast time again.
This morning it's one of my frittata sort of dishes. made by mixing 3 eggs, a little milk, Scarborough fair seasonings and salt & pepper, ham, yellow and orange bell pepper, onion, mushrooms and jalapenos, then cooking slowly in a covered small fry pan. I served it with a sprinkling of sharp cheddar cheese and mandarin orange slices.
Bon Appetit,

Well, its the weekend, and I've got a slow day today (Yaaay!). So, rather than cold cereal or rolled oats & flaxseed meal, I did my 'leftover scramble':
1/2 cup diced mixed bell peppers
1/2 cup diced sweet onion
Sautéed in a little olive oil...
Add 2 oz leftover rotisserie chicken (Costco... it'll feed me for a week or two; I carve and freeze the bird as soon as I get it, into little frozen parcels good for 2-3 days each as a food safety measure.)
Toss in the pan until hot.
Add 1/4 cup egg substitute
Season with pepper, basil, and garlic; toss for another minute or so until the egg sets.
Serve with a toasted whole wheat mini-bagel (Trader Joe's) and 1/2 tbsp light butter
324 calories; 25 grams carbs, 15 grams fats, 23 grams proteins
Sounds good Michelle. I frequently make use of leftovers in my breakfasts.

It should be less than a boil or you'll over cook the yolk. Boil it and then turn it back to a simmer for a bit. Maybe about 80C.

Mostly it's just to add more "good" fat into my diet. Plus it tastes good and gives me a real energy burst early in the morning. It's all part of eating very low carb, moderate protein, and high fat.

It mixes like cream to an extent. But if you let it sit for a long time it comes to the top. I've tried this with coconut oil too and while it's good, it sits on the top like an oil slick.

Hi folks,
It's morning again and so another breakfast to share with you all. This morning I cooked ham and eggs my way..
I started by chopping up some ham, rainbow of peppers, onion, and jalapeno slices. I sauteed the veggies in butter then added smokey chipolti Tabasco sauce and some tomato paste. I then added the ham and cooked a bit more. I set the cooked mix aside and scramble an eggs with pepper and salt. Next I toasted a soft taco sized flour tortilla. onto which I sprinkled some sharp shredded cheddar cheeze, then the egg, and the meat / veggie mix and sprinkled on a little more cheese/ It was a tasty sinus clearing breakfast.
Bon appetit,
Laurie

Thank you, Alexandria. It tasted good and was pretty spicy as a lot of my cooking tends to be. I tend to judge good Mexican food by how fast the sweat breaks out on my scalp. LOL. There is a Mexican restaurant In Bolivar, Mo that has a vivid green habanero sauce I like and put on everything I eat there, even adding it to the salsa they bring for the tortilla chips. It's pretty hot but good.

Although I love cooking I rarely make breakfast, usually i'll juice some fruit and veggies, but when I have friends staying over I cook them the whole nine lol bacon, eggs, home fries, french toast. I mean none of which I eat since I'm a vegan but when I do cook I'll make a quinoa bowl with veggies and spinach :)
Butter in coffee. I have never heard of that. Is it a common thing in the USA? We make egg coffee back home. At least the older people do. But butter in coffee is new to me. What does it taste like? It seems like it would be nasty. But I can't judge since we eat double salted licorice. Lol
I'm rather lazy and just have cereal, but my favourite thing to have when the mood strikes is a large bacon omelette with loose tea.[emoji5]

This isn't exactly breakfast but I am eating my first ever homemade bone broth right now. It's really good with a very rich flavor. I started it last night simmering beef leg bones with leeks, garlic, chicken gizzards, some salt, and red pepper. The bones had a little meat and fat on them and of course were filled with marrow. This may become a regular thing and is very low cost.

Normally the contents would be fully cooked out and removed. If you want to leave them in, you might run the solids through a blender with some of the broth making a smooth, thick broth.

Me "A grapefruit."
Boss <concerned look> "Are you supposed to have grapefruit with your hormones?"
Me <blank stare> "I don't know....."
The answer is apparently no, I'm not supposed to have grapefruit.
Hugs, Devlyn
Really? I did not know that. I eat grapefruit all the time. What does it do??
They should have a warning sticker on my premarin bottle. Stupid pharmacy!

QuoteIf you drink grapefruit juice amor eat grapefruit often, talk with you doctor.
I am not terribly worried about it in my case because I find grapefruit is extremely bitter and even a single taste is to much. Sometimes my mom would make fresh squeezed orange juice and squeeze a grapefruit in with it. The stuff became undrinkable when she did that. :icon_blah:

Hi Rachel,
I know it looks like a lot and compared to yours it is. I have difficulties keeping the amount down when I cook. It is surprising how quickly things add up. That was just 2 eggs, 2 thin slices of onion, 2 slices each of the peppers, (perhaps 1/4 of a pepper total) and the 2 pieces of sausage. Then the fruit of course.
I like to eat too so that doesn't help. I have actually cut how much I eat by about half. By doing so I am managing to keep my weight about them same. I need to cut it more and get more exercise so I can get some of this 204lbs off.
I don't think I will ever be thin like you though. I looked like death warmed over last time I was 170lbs.
Hugs,
Laurie

I like all those things too but usually cook something similar without the pie crust and on the stove top very close to a proper fritata. They both be good.

Hi Ghost,
Sorry I didn't mean to ignore you. I read what you wrote wrong. I'm going to assume you were talking to me about eggs though I am not sure just which you would like to know how I cook. I don't usually bake anything so that part threw me off. Is there something in particular that I posted you would like ? Most of what I prepare is pretty simple. I'd be happy to give you a How to post or PM for something you think you would like that I cooked.
Hugs,
Laurie
It's breakfast time again and for today's delight I made my own creation very similiar to a fritata but cooked entirely on the stove top. I used 2 eggs, a bit of milk, chorizo, bacon, 4 colors of bell peppers, onion, mushrooms and sharp shredded cheese. It is seasoned wit salt and pepper plus what I call Scarborough fair (in honor of the song by Simon and Garfunkle) it is parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme of course. I served it with the cheese sprinkled on top, a hanful of cherries and salted tomato slices.
I have pictures of the whole process for anyone interested.
Bon Appetit
Laurie

Hi Ghost.
I Will be happy to write up how I cooked the fritata type breakfast I pictured above. It was fluffy in texture and tasted good too. I had never heard of a fritata until I cooked this creation before while experimenting one morning. i posted a picture on mt face book with the caption of "I don't know what you would call it but it's good" One of my friends saw it and responded that it looked like a fritata. I looked it up and sure enough it is about the same. The major difference being that it starts on top of the stove but is then finished cooking in the oven. I cook mine completely on top of the stove.
I will work of writing that up for you. including the pictures and PM them to you.
Hugs,
Laurie
I have either oatmeal or farina every day, with soy milk. I'm a vegetarian, but sometimes I have veggie bacon or sausage because I used to like those. And maybe an egg.
And coffee! Lots of coffee! lol I like either French or Italian roasts, and very strong.
All these breakfasts look good, but that's way too much food for me!

Thank you Raven for the compliment and I will agree it is probably more food than I should be eating for breakfast. Believe it or not I have cut my breakfast down a little. It's difficult for me to envision the amount I will wind up with as I am preparing and adding the individual ingredients. I frequently wind up with enough to feed two people if not more but I am usually the only one to eat it. That does not help me lose weight at all. I'll sometimes eat only half and save the rest for another breakfast especially if it's something like a breakfast burrito filling.
I'm afraid I like my meat too much to ever understand why someone would be a vegetarian. And I fear I am too old to worry about silly things like drinking water from a hose, organic foods, non-GMO foods, cracker crust alfredo or ranch sauce gourmet topping pizzas and the like. I'm a simple person that like to eat water I have always eaten and enjoyed all my like. Let the younger folk have all that fad nonsense, it's not for me. I want real food.
If anyone reading this fall into those categories, I bid you well and hope you enjoy your food like I do.
Hugs,
Laurie
This morning I made waffles with strawberry sauce for Lucas and a strawberry smoothie for myself. Our neighbor gave me a ton of fresh strawberries and I am trying to use them.
Laurie, I'll be 60 in a few months. I decided I needed to lose weight and eat healthier. I stopped eating meat about 4 years ago. I feel much healthier and a lost extra pounds and some muscle mass I didn't want.
I'm small, about 5'5", so extra weight shows. I was determined to get close to my weight in high school! lol. Well almost. I was 125 pounds back then.
I count my calories and try to stay about 1,600 a day. The best part was seeing my ex wife (a petite woman) on Thanksgiving and she said "how did you get thinner than me?!" Lol

I try to eat healthy as much as I can. Today I made an omelet with egg whites, onions, olives and cheddar cheese. I covered the cooked omelet with salsa and hot sauce. To this I added fresh fruit, strawberries and a banana. later I ate a fresh naval orange. Then off to the electrologist and then shopping. What a day! ;)

Raven,
I understand the concern and your motives are certainly good. It's working for you and that is the best part. Congratulations on the results. I am happy for you and I mean that Raven.
As for myself, I'm 64 somewhat overweight being 204 lbs on my 5' 8" body. I think I should loose some weight and as I said before am trying to cut back on my food intake plus get in some exercise by taking walks. If it helps me loose weight so I can wear a sexier dress I'm all for it. But I'm not pushing it or joining a gym where I would have no idea what I'm doing there. I guess I'm lazy.
I'm not in the best of health, my breathing isn't what it used to be, I get winded fairly easy, but I still can get around on my own without aids. I'm living on borrowed time as I see it and intend on enjoying what I like as long as I can and that includes eating foods I like, making road trips at the drop of a hat, turning left or right down another road just to see where it will take me. I will make it to Maine on the next one and cross the last of the 50 states off my bucket list.
I've been told twice that I am going to die within 6 months, I've beat that both times and I don't have time to worry about what's healthy or the current fads. I'm going to eat what I like to eat and live my life as I want to live. My transition is one of those things I refuse to die not having done.
My bucket list is short and pleasures simple.
Now where that perfectly good airplane with the open exit door?.....
Hugs,
Laurie
Laurie, if your not in the best of health, that's the reason to eat healthy. Not a fad. You will improve your quality of life. Your health will improve. You are what you eat. Food is over rated.
I was diagnosed with CLL (chronic lymphocytic leukemia) last year, so for me staying healthy is even more important. I have a lot of things left to accomplish in life. So I need to make sure I have plenty of time left. [emoji3]

Raven,
I wish you a long healthy life doing what works for you. Sorry for your diagnosis.
Counting calories and carbs isn't enjoying my food. Eating "Healthy" isn't enjoying my meals. Neither is pre and pro biotics, non gmo, vegan, non dairy, no carb, low carb, organic or any of that other nonsense. Most of those IMO are nothing but self delusions, brain washing, fads, or greedy marketing and politics.
If a physician told me not to eat a particular food I would listen, I'll keep a bit of an eye on portion size and carbs/sugars due to my diabetes, but I'll not obsess over them, other than that I will eat what I enjoy eating.
Don't get me wrong some "Healthy" dishes are actually good. And I am not saying eating however you want is bad. It's just I do not choose to eat like that or worry about my foods. I believe if it tastes good eat it.
I treat others views on food as I treat other peoples religions, You are welcome to it as long as you don't try to foist it onto me.
Hugs,
Laurie
I enjoy every meal I eat. I just don't eat too much. Feeling stuffed and bloated isn't enjoyable. [emoji3] Everything in moderation. Like if I eat eggs, I have one egg. If I eat a waffle I have one waffle. You get the idea.
Also I'm very educated on nutrition. I know what's a fad and what's not.
What I do enjoy is fitting into cute clothes and having people say I look 35 years old. Lol.
I didn't make my original comment about you, but the thread asked what everyone has for breakfast. So I answered. [emoji4]

Hey Raven,
I'm sorry. Of course you were responding to the thread. I made this thread and I guess am kind of possessive with it.
I was initially responding to your compliment, "All these breakfasts look good, but that's way too much food for me!" , and got carried away with the last part about the amount of food. One thing led to another and off I went on another soap box rant regard one of my personal pet peeves. So it's not your fault at all, it's mine!
I apologize to any eaters I offended with my rant. It's not my place to criticize others for their dietary beliefs.
And I apologize to you personally, Raven. Sorry for being an old jerk.
Hugs,
Laurie

Hi Folks,
For those that want to know my recipe for Stovetop Fritatas here it is ..
Hugs,
Laurie
Sorry it took so long.
Stove top Fritata
1. First thing to do is decide what besides eggs you want in you fritata and gather the ingredients. Some things to consider are vegetables: bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, spinach, etc. and meats: bacon, ham, sausages etc.
2. If you are going to use raw meats cook a small amount of each drain and set aside.
(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FYiC6PCu.jpg&hash=a5e70ad25da586fb8e2c2d7f143e45387afbbe19)
3. Dice or chop small amounts of each vegetables you will be using and set aside. (mushrooms can be raw or sauteed first if desired.)
(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FKCQNo7h.jpg&hash=857ae75edf4bc53c9044e894c16de28a7c1cf185)
4. Preheat a fry pan on med-low heat with a bit of butter to cover the bottom and small enough so the fritata will be 3/8th to 1/2 inch thick.
5. Crack 2 -3 eggs into a mixing container. (I used a 2 cup measuring cup)
6. Add desired spices to the eggs. I use my basics: salt, cracked pepper, and what I call Scarburough fair- Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme.
7 . Add a dash of milk to the eggs.
8. Mix vigorously with a wish or fork until a bit frothy.
9. Add the meat and vegetables and mix well with the eggs.

10. Pour into your preheated fry pan and cover with a lid.
(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FFI4PdFF.jpg&hash=65fc9ce3491daabfc4dd3b16cf96303e13db0d48)
11. Cook slowly keeping it covered until the top is done.
(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FmSIpn1h.jpg&hash=f0ebe8041f219b32d9029c5e53eae2b2e994bfa1)
12. Remove from pan and serve with a sprinkling of cheese and/or any other toping you desire.

2-3 eggs
a dash of milk (maybe a teaspoon
1 tablespoon each (more or less) diced or chopped vegetables; onions, fresh garlic, bell pepper, mushrooms, spinach, jalepenos, etc. ( it's up to you )
1 -2 tablesppons of meat(s) of your choice pre-cooked; sausage, bacon, ham etc. ( again it's up to you )
Spices and herbs to your taste. ( I use salt, cracked black pepper, Parsley (fresh or dried) sage, rosemary, thyme) ( it's up to you )

I had never heard of grits before I moved to the USA .Grits are not really known in Sweden. But then after I met Lucas he started asking for them. His grandmother taught me to make them. Actually they are quite good. She taught me to cook a lot of southern food since I have been in Florida. Lucas loves fried green tomato's. Ewww yuck! And okra, double YUCK!!

Hi Ghost,
That's how you do it. You get out a pan, some eggs and a few other things and before you know it you have breakfast to eat. Your eggs with sausage does look good. I'm not sure I would call it am omelet from the picture though. It's not folded and I can't see cheese. Okay okay I suppose omelets don't have to have cheese.
It seems like a lot of food unless you are sharing with someone. Oh, wait! I remember eating that much every meal. lol
Good start on your culinary delights Ghost. Keep it up.
I gotta go I hear a pancake calling me...

Hi Alexandria,
Yeah, those people down there do eat some strange stuff. I have to agree with you on the okra but the tomatoes may be okay. I don't think I've had them yet. I stopped at a McDonalds on my way to Floria for breakfast once and was surprised to find a fried bologna McMuffin on the menu. I had heard they like fried chicken for breakfast so I was not surprised to see a McMuffin made with fried chicken too. Yup southerners are a strange breed.
Keep on cooking.
Hugs,
Laurie
They eat chicken and waffles for breakfast. And a lot of these southern people love fried spam sandwiches. I don't even know what spam is. I think it must be tails and snouts and ears. EWWW. And Lucas calls some of my Swedish dishes weird!

Spam consist of some of the best cuts of the pig. I think the reason it has such a bad reputation is because World War II it was given to the solders so much they became sick of it. The regular brand is over salted however the low salt version is much better and still Spiro safe. There is enough fat in it that frying helps it. For a Hawaiian twist, serve it with pineapple. You can fry the spam, put it all back in the same pan then dump a can of diced pineapple in with the spam.

There is one way to eat Okra and that's breading then frying it. Boiling it will produce a pot of snot so it is sometimes used as a thickener in dishes like gumbo but by it's self, frying is the only way to go.
Morning folks,
This morning I wanted pancakes so I cooked a couple.
One egg, two blue berry pancakes, three country sausage, maple syrup, and a scattering of blue berries.

I started out with a bowl of my bone stew (I fill it with too many things to call it broth) and then had my usual weekend three egg cheese omelet topped with sour cream but added something new today. I topped the sour cream with 1/4 cup of the home fermented sauerkraut I started Friday evening. It was really good and the sauerkraut is moving along nicely in its fermentation.

Hi Deborah,
Sounds pretty good but I think I'll pass on the sour cream. I must remember to try making some sauerkraut. It sounds good and simple to make.
Hugs,
Laurie
The sauerkraut is really easy. All you need is cabbage and sea salt. Any other vegetables you want to add just add to the variety. I added cilantro and jalapeños to a mixture of green and red cabbage for my first batch.

Hi Ghost,
That's how you do it. You get out a pan, some eggs and a few other things and before you know it you have breakfast to eat. Your eggs with sausage does look good. I'm not sure I would call it am omelet from the picture though. It's not folded and I can't see cheese. Okay okay I suppose omelets don't have to have cheese.
It seems like a lot of food unless you are sharing with someone. Oh, wait! I remember eating that much every meal. lol
Good start on your culinary delights Ghost. Keep it up.
I gotta go I hear a pancake calling me...
Hugs,
Laurie
Hey Laurie,
You can call me Nathan. [emoji5]
lol I was worried three eggs wasn't enough to cover the sausages and a mans gotta eat!!
Trust me, I can't fold for toffee so it was folded afterwards. Albeit broken but still good!
I love pancakes I might have to visit your house *laughs*
Pancakes are hard to make I keep burning them!

Hi Nathan,
Omelets are a good fairly easy breakfast. The first thing you need is a good nonstick fry pan. I buy cheap ones for about $10 at a department store. It will last me several months before it starts sticking. I still use some oil or butter in the pan and heat it up to a little below medium heat before putting the eggs in. I use 2 - 3 eggs in an 11" fry pan, let it cook a bit before putting the fillers in on one half of the eggs. (Cheese is okay to put on the whole thing. Cover and cook until cheese is melted. Now is the time to fold and serve. There is a trick to folding an omelet.. keep the eggs thin and put fillings only on half (except for cheese) leaving the other half with only melted cheese to fold over. Make sure the egg is free from the pan before attempting to fold and have the turner well under the half being folded.
Try that next time and see if it works better for you.
Hugs,
Laurie

I have an aluminum uncoated pan that has been used for years. It's only used for egg and I just used it today and the eggs didn't stick. To accomplish this, use wood or plastic tools whenever possible and if you must use metal, make sure it's rounded like a spoon so it doesn't scratch the pan. Heat the pan to cooking temperature then hit it with a spray oil like Pam. Clean it with soap and water but use plastic wool if something sticks. I have never had the problem but if the surface should become damaged, steel wool could smooth out any rough spots.
We have used sprays other than the original formula Pam but Pam seems to work best for this. I also remove the pan from the heat and spray it in the sink to keep it from getting all over the stove.
Teflon will hold up pretty well as long is it doesn't overheat but for frying, I always pick good old fashion cast iron. It seems like I can't get enough of it in my kitchen even though it lasts forever.

Cast iron is the best. When Lucas and I moved in together his grandmother gave me a set of three cast iron frying pans and a cast iron Dutch oven type pot. I LOVE them. I have an expensive set of T-Fall but I use the cast iron for everything. I love that they can go in the oven!
Cast iron are definitely good pans to have provided you keep them well seasoned. They can work as well if not better and last longer than these non-stick pans everyone uses.
I use cheap ceramic non-stick out of convenience. I've bought them and used them at a couple friends home when staying there and know I was going to be cooking breakfast so I know I'll have a decent pan to us. Then I leave them there for them to use or for when I return.
Hugs,
Laurie

Alexandria,
Sensoning a cast iron pan is done by coating the inside with vegetable oil and cooking the pan in the oven. Doing so makes it more nonstick. When the pan starts sticking and/or rusting from repeated use and washing, it needs to be cleaned well and reseasoned.
You can find instructions on the internet with a simple search.

Laurie

Hey Laurie,
The problem is with our oven it requires special pans just for it to work. God knows what the carehome staff were thinking but it's an oven - electric and with small circles to press.

Flat glass top with circles where the burners are? Probably an induction stove. My daughters last place had one. Most pans work on them and pans you buy should be marked for use on induction stoves.
My cheap aluminum metal ceramic coated pan will not work on one of those.
Hug's
Laurie
Nathan, it sounds like you have an induction cooktop. We have one. The pots have to be magnetic to work. Place a magnet against a pot. If the magnet sticks then the pot will work with an induction cooker. If the magnet won't stick then the pot will not work.

You corrected me Alexandria. My aluminum pan will not work on an induction cook top.
My daughter's current stove is not an induction one. It was her last place that had one.

Induction cook top. If a magnet sticks to it, you can use it with the range. If a magnet doesn't stick to it, you need to put a metal plate under the pot to make it work.
They installed them because they are energy efficient, produce little waste heat, they are very safe, unlikely to start a fire and are easy to clean. They didn't think about the pain they are to use. I have an electric glass top with heating coil range which is better but I had 3 pans that couldn't be used with it because they weren't flat on the bottom. Sometimes I really miss a natural gas cook top.
When I have time on the weekend I will cook Grits, bacon, and eggs and biscuits.

My breakfast (actually eaten at noon) is getting more outlandish. Today was a three egg cheese omelet served on a lettuce leaf and topped with fermented sauerkraut and sour cream, three slices of bacon, a serving of kimchi on the side, a glass of kefir and a glass of flaxseed milk. It was surprisingly good and very filling.
I made my wife breakfast too. Hers was deviled egg, pepper cheese, summer sausage, black olives, strawberries, blueberries, walnuts, Brazil nuts, sauerkraut, kefir, and flaxmilk.

I have leftover sauerkraut too, but didn't use it. There's not a lot nutritionally going on with kraut, like dill pickles, but it's good. I made 5 eggs on top of two slices of thick cut bacon with some cilantro. Once the bottom sets, I flip the whole thing and turn off the burner. Sometimes I'll add cheese. I have to find more recipes for this keto thing.

That depends on if it's pickled with vinegar or fermented with salt. I agree if it's pickled. Fermented is different though because it's teeming with the types of microbes that when eaten strengthen your gut health. This includes strengthened immune system, improved sugar regulation, improved brain function, better digestion and nutrient absorption, improved skin health, and many other things.

Morning Folks,
I have been remiss in not keeping up in this thread for awhile now, sorry. I do post most of my cooked breakfasts on my Facebook page. Feel free to take a look there if this kind of thing interests you.
This morning I felt like cooking myself an omelet. The pan I use make one large enough for two and the way I fill them they are definitely enough to split with a friend. (Peggy Roberts where are you?) This mornings is no exception.
I started with 3 eggs, and some Firecracker sausage. Then I added colorful bell peppers, onions, jalapenos, and loads of Mexican mix cheese. Once cooked and folded I topped it wit salted tomato slices, sharp cheddar cheese and a liberal application of hot salsa.
Sound good? It is!.
Bon Appetit
Laurie

Hi Christy,
It sounds delicious Christy. I would need to watch the carbs with the croissants and potatoes though. Diabetes do that to you. :(

Potatoes are also extremely high in potassium, enemy of Spiro takers.

It was good and I do need all the carbs and calories I can get. Potatoes are my one guilty pleasure, they are about the only potassium source in my whole diet (I miss you Campbell's Bean n Bacon). But thanks for looking out ;)
I have been working on a southwest version of eggs benedict. What I am going for is a cornmeal, green chile, chorizo pancake covered with poached eggs and a creamy poblano chili sauce and shredded pepper jack on top with maybe some crispy hashbrowns on the side. Has anyone tried anything like this?
Anne
I'm too lazy to cook anything exotic for breakfast. It's usually , coffee, and either eggs sunny side up with vegetarian sausage or tofu slices, or porridge cooked in water and sweetened by glucose and cinnamon for flavour. That's it. Never varies.

That would barely keep a bird alive. But then that is probably why you are far thinner than I. I suffer from lack of portion control and attention to calories. I do like oatmeal and will normally have it cooked with cinnamon and I use nothing but whole milk in this home.
Here is my offering for today. It's small for me (I am trying) and probably not as healthy as yours.
Chorizo and egg with fruit and I did have my 2 cups of black coffee.

Yes I am careful with calories. I have like a fear of getting fat. And hrt makes that very easy. I eat a lot of vegan and vegetarian dishes because they are low calorie. But I do pig out on pizza or Chinese food once in a while. It's kind of a pain cooking 2 different meals but my dad and brother are both gym rats and Don't really care how many calories are in something. They never get fat no matter what they eat. I hate them both! (Not really but it's totally unfair)

Not on the weekdays...and usually not on the weekends either unless I have company. During the week I just drink coffee, and maybe one night I might eat some eggs....
When I cook breakfast I like to go all out through.
Saturday morning I made stuffed, savory french toast waffles stuffed with bacon, and pepperjack cheese, with a homemade maple and honey sauce. Then I scrambled what was left of the french toast egg-wash.
Then Sunday morning we have cinnamon rolls cooked in the waffle iron, the rest of the bacon from Satuday and I made sweet scrambled eggs.....As in, I used what you would normally put on french toast...vanilla, cinnamon and syrup.
To this day, the best breakfast I ever made was peanut butter pancakes, from scratch, with caramelized banana, homemade caramel and homemade whipped cream.
I think I was chef in a past life. :P
I had a three egg omelet cooked in butter and filled with chicken, cheese, onions, and sweet peppers, and topped with my usual sour cream and fermented sauerkraut. I added a side of a rice blend cooked in chicken stock. (614 cal total)

I made my own sausage patty and surrounded it with chopped Serrano's and sliced Roma tomatoes. I add 5 eggs and put in a little water to steam them.

It's a late morning but still morning here. I thought I'd go ahead and share one of my less well executed offerings today just to show you not all my breakfasts are culinary delights.
I decided to fix some dryer rolled oats cooked with cinnamon. I made too much and yes it's dry, no doubt about that. I decided to try a bt of butter for flavor too. I wanted a slice of toast but only had plain old withe sandwich bread which as you can see I proceeded to ummm over cook a little? Yeah I like that description better than burnt. I added what I think is an over ripe banana sliced into chunks. Black coffee accompanied it. I needed something to wash it and my pills down.
Well here it is for your viewing. Definitely not a best effort.

Sometimes I think your selections for breakfast are somewhat strange, but then I remember you are very much into a strict diet that meshes with your lifestyle and I need to just accept them. Our needs for nutrition may diffe, but we do enjoy our foods and their preparations. Thank you for contributing.

I ate that after a big workout this morning and was trying to balance macronutrients as much as trying to invent something that tasted good. It did taste pretty good but I was hungry enough that anything would have been good, LOL
The sauerkraut is purely for gut health but since I crafted it myself it tastes pretty good too.

I would love to have you over for breakfast . I would make you the 2 eggs to go with the waffles too. Lol
I always make extra sausage when I make waffles. My dad and brother can scarf up some sausage. They both like dipping sausage in the syrup. They both eat like pigs and still have the washboard abs. SO not fair!

I don't know what snags and rockets are (at least those on a plate) but it does look good Tammy.
Too many carbs for me by the looks of it but I've been known to splurge. I've been trying to cut down on my portion sizes and carbs also.

I know snags are sausages. At least that's what Aussies call them. I will have to ask Tristan what rockets are.
There's a cooking forum?!?! Why did I not notice this before!
I have no pictures to offer, but when I do eat breakfast one of my favorite things to do is Japanese style omelettes or tamago gohan (I love Japanese cuisine). Japanese style "omelettes" are a lot more savory, and good for a change of pace without needing a lot of cheese or other additions to make it tasty. Tamago gohan is literally just "egg rice". You just take a bowl of steaming hot fresh rice (preferably short grain or medium grain) and just crack a raw egg into it. The rice cooks the egg, top with seasoning (varies, but I like furikake, which I won't explain here), done!
Also all about making from scratch waffles. If I'm feeling masochistic I'll do some homemade hashbrowns in an attempt to recreate waffle house without the amount of calories, but that is typically way too much work.
(Usually though I'm not really a breakfast person, so a lot of this stuff I just make as a sort of early lunch and breakfast hybrid. I think I'll call it... "brunch". I should go trademark that.)

Rocket is also know as Arugula, it's a member of the mustard family but not a bitter as mustard with a more peppery taste.

Aussies do have some unusual expressions. I've had to ask Tristan what he's talking about more than once. He calls eggs Bumnuts. Bangers and mash is sausages with mashed potatoes. We were at a restaurant once and he ordered chips , that's Aussie for French fries. When they brought him potato chips he said he had ordered chips, not crisps, which is what he calls potato chips. When we first started dating, we were watching a movie and he asked if I had any busciuts. I told him no but I guessed I could make him some if he really wanted some. I couldn't figure out why he wanted biscuits during a movie. He calls cookies biscuits. Lol
That's because he speaks English not American English. Chips are chips,crisps are crisps and bangers and mash with peas and thick gravy MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

I like Aussie words and expressions. They are very unique, of course they don't sound as good when an American says them. You need that Aussie accent. Lol

After I grate the potatoes I squeeze them in a clean kitchen towel to get some of the moisture out. That helps keep them from getting mushy.

Here is exactly how I make mine. I usually use 3 large potatoes which is enough for 2 guys who eat like pigs. I grate 2 potatoes with the large side of the grater and the third one with the small side. Then I squeeze them in a towel and throw them in the bowl. I add half a grated onion, salt, pepper,one egg and 4 tbs of flour. After I make each patty I dust each side with a little bit of flour and then cook them on a very hot griddle. Depending on what else I'm making sometimes I put cheese or sausage in the hash browns.

Okay Julia, You're in trouble now I copied it and put it on my desktop for future reference.... we'll see...
It may be awhile as I have cut way down on carbs in my breakfasts and lunches. My sister cooks supper and I eat what she prepares.. Having hash browns today was a splurge. I will try it and Thank you.

Ive never been able to get hashbrowns to cook right. Tried the removing startch by soaking techniques, draining thoroughly, tried freezing and cooking from frozen (worked the best), multiple oils, several potato types, etc. etc. etc. Just never works out to my satisfaction.

Well I hope you don't mind if I also steal your Recipe.
My experience making my own hash browns has always ended in mush..
Adding cheese sounds like it would be amazing!

What do you get when you combine minced garlic, bacon, sliced mushrooms, and sliced steak, seasoned with salt and pepper then sauteed in butter and white wine with 2 eggs scrambled with sharp cheddar cheese and a bit of chopped green onion? Why a yummy beef and mushroom scramble of course.
OMG! This one is soooo delicious.

Sorry Megan, I cook mostly for myself, sometimes for my sister and I and I've been known to cook for friends when I visit. No plans (ugh there's that word again) for doing anything more.
I will however take your remarks as a compliment. We do have quite a few good cooks on the site. Personally I think I'm going to go visit Julia and let her cook for me.

I cooked a midnight breakfast for my wife and me last night. Nothing fancy. An Asiago cheese omelet, cherry wood smoked bacon and grits with butter. I burned the toast, so no jelly. :( Yes, I'm a Southerner and like grits. :)
Tommy, I love my grits also. Is that a clemson shirt on? If it is maybe I need to send you a Gamecock shirt?....LOL I made homemade biscuits the other day, best I ever made. Did not use self rising flower, all purpose and baking powder. Cooked in cast Iron pan in oven.

Good morning folks,
I felt like making an omelet this morning.
I started by toasting minced garlic in butter then added sliced mushrooms salt pepper and white wine sauteing until the wine cooked down to a nice coating for the mushrooms. Meanwhile the hot Italian sausage was cooking in another pan I diced a rainbow of bell peppers, green onion and chopped up some spinach.
Next I seasoned 2 eggs wit parsley, rosemary, salt and fresh cracked black pepper mixed it all together and poured into a pre-heated non stick fry pan with a bit of Pam in the bottom. When the eggs set I layered in my mushrooms, spinach, and then the other ingredients which I mixed together first. Finally a generous layer of shredded Mexican cheese blend. Covered to let the cheese melt.
It looked so thick I was sure I was going to have problems with the folding but it came out looking pretty good. Plated, I sprinkled it with more shredded cheese to make it look photogenic and served.
It tasted as good as it looked with all the flavors coming through deliciously.
Bon Appetit,
Laurie

Nope. All for me. Deborah turned me on to the ketogenic diet and it works for me. High fat, high protein, very low carb. My ratios are 176g fat, 30g carbs, 168g protein @ 2373 calories a day and I've lost 46lbs over a 12 week period. I have a lot more to lose, but so far I'm losing it.

The high protein would be good and cutting any amount of carbs is generally a good thing. Carbs = Sugar after all.
Tho not all of us are good at sticking to low carb diets. If in doubt just inject more rapid is my solution generally.
Also thanks for clearing up the coriander confusion, I had never heard it called that before.

I found out about Cilantro when Davina gave me a recipe that called for coriander leaves. I was aware of coriander but couldn't find coriander leaves anywhere so I googled them and found out here in the USA it is cilantro and of course can be found anywhere as it is a main ingredient in Mexican meals and is used plentifully in fresh salsa.

Morning Folks,
This morning I made a veggie frittata. First I toasted minced garlic then added diced mushrooms and white wine and sauteed them until butter and wine reduced to a sauce consistency, and set aside to cool.. I dice up rainbow bell peppers, green onion, onion, spinach. and shredded cheese. then mixed in a cup with 2 eggs seasoned with salt, pepper, thyme, rosemary, and sage. This I poured into a small fry pan m covered and cooked on med-low heat until the top was done. Plated and topped with more shredded jack/cheddar cheese blend.
Again enough for two but only myself to eat it :-(

Laurie, if this food porn doesn't stop I may have to block you! I'm drooling all over my keyboard.
My breakfast: coffee and a cup of yogurt with something mixed in (addicted to Chobani "Flip" cups), followed in an hour by an apple.
Yeah, my own fault. I used to make myself "breakfast burritos:" scrambled eggs with Italian seasoning, melted cheese, and two strip of turkey bacon folded into a soft flour tortilla - with ketchup of course. I miss that, but I am just not a morning person and have no ambition until lunchtime. Besides, 8 months ago I was pushing 170 lbs (that's a lot for me at 5'5") and I'm almost to 140 now and want to stay there.

I made bacon and eggs for my dad and brother and I made a green smoothie and carrot bacon for myself. My dad and brother had fun making fun of my carrot bacon. But it's good. Does it taste like bacon? No. But the carrot gets sweet and crispy and I add a little bit of liquid smoke and it's totally good. Carrot bacon has like 100 fewer calories than real bacon.

Hi Tia,
Love the new avatar picture. You are looking good in that hospital bed but we don't want you getting too comfy in it now do we? I don't think I have see you with your hair down like that. It looks very flattering on you. Halloween? You mean your hosting a "come as you are" party and I will fit right in w/o a costume?
I have a defense in that breakfast issue at your place last time... I seem to recall a discussion about a lack of breakfast ingredients at the time of my visit as home cooked breakfasts were preferred to be had at a homey place down the street. And in your defense the one you and Debi took me to was friendly and delicious.
You might have liked the late breakfast I made this morning. I made cheesy scrambled eggs with a little rainbow bell peppers, green onion, and jalapeno slices all finely diced in them. I cut packaged ground chorizo in such a way to make links which I fried and served with the eggs.
Hugs,

Yes, your breakfast sounds way better than mine, hospital scrambled eggs over frozen Obrien potatoes and a turkey sausage patty. I tossed enough pico de gaio and Cholula sauce on it to make it bearable. Come on down south and feed this starving sister.....

I like to use fresh hot salsa for a topping on my spicier omelets like those with chorizo or hot Italian sausage. Pepper jack cheese inside also will give it a little flair. Thin slices of salted tomato on top is another idea.

I like those ideas. Thanks Laurie. 😊 I'm not familiar with chorizo. Is that a pepper or a hit sauce? I LOVE hot & spicy food!
Next time I make omelette I have a good mind to just make Tristan a vegemite filled omelette....... :icon_anger:
Julia, chorizo is a spicy Mexican sausage (really good in all kinds of applications). And none of you though to mention a poblano hollandaise sauce to top those omelets, what is the matter with you?

Here in Oregon I get chorizo sausage in both ground (like hamburger) and link (like brats) forms made by Johnsonville. There is also a pasty form sold in small chubs but I do not like using it at all.

Sorry, Tia I don't usually do sauces though it could happen.
I highly recommend La Banderita brand Chorizo if you can find it. It was recommended by some guys I know who work at a Mexican restaurant here, and it is far and away the best I have ever tasted. It comes in sausage casings, but grounds with no effort. It doesn't make patties very well unfortunately (so much for my chorizo and egg biscuits!).

That brand is not available in the Walmart stores here in Oregon. They also do not carry Johnsonville brand. Or Kroger store here (Fred Meyers) and Winco stores do carry the Johnsonville brand.

Morning folks,
This breakfast is for Tia. Too bad she isn't here to try it as I think she might have liked it. Alas it is gone now.
I felt like making a spicy scramble today. 2 eggs, ground chorizo, rainbow bell peppers, onion, jalapenos, spinach tomato, a sprinkle of cheese and smoky chipotle Tabasco sauce, and a couple orange slices.
Bon Appétit,
Laurie

Hello Laurie,
Thank you for thinking of me and virtual meals are all that I can handle at this time. My inquiring virtual taste buds want to know; what kind of onions, hopefully very aromatic red onions tossed late into the sauté so as to not lose their magic, what mix of cheeses (perhaps a good jalapeno jack and cheddar), and next time could you provide a soft buttery poblano chili sauce? And what kind of bread did you accompany it with? As long as it is not asking too much....my virtual taste buds are rather picky you know. The orange slices were pure genius to counter the spice with strong juicy acid sweet.
Take care girlfriend,
Tia Anne

Hi Tia,
I'll have to try some of your suggestions some time. I used a plain ol' everyday yellow onion. The cheese was indeed a jack and mild cheddar blend but only Kirkland brand. Alas no bread was provided as I'm trying to cut my carbs but warm flour tortillas toasted on the stove top would be good with butter or a good sour dough rustic bread would be good too. (miss good breads) And there you go with that poblano chili again. Do I look like a restaurant chef? I do what I can with what I have.
You take things easy girlfriend and take it easy on Deb too.
Hugs,
Laurie
Good morning fols,
Well, it's a potato, onion, rainbow bell pepper, egg and garlic pancake I guess you would call it. Everything was finely chopped together, seasoned and an egg mixed in. then fried in a small fry pan on med heat. 3 hot Italian sausage patties and 2 fried eggs. Yes, I broke a yolk, so I suppose the yolk's on me. Anyway, there it is.
Bon Appétit.
Laurie

At least the potato wasn't mushy and actually (surprise surprise) tasted good.
Morning folks,
This morning just for Devyln I attempted a tri-fold omelet stuffed with maple sausage, diced tomato,rainbow peppers,onion and spinach, cheese of course inside and out. Fried potato with toasted slivers of elephant garlic, onion, rainbow peppers.
Bon Apettit,

Good Morning folks,
I'll admit when I thought of cooking this breakfast I wasn't too sure how it was going to turn out. I'm pleased to report that although it is different and made me question my own sanity, it actually tastes pretty good.
I call it fried salad. I started with rainbow peppers 3 thinner slices each color halved , then a slice of yellow and red onions cut in half and rings separated, a cabbage leaf cut into strips, thin short slices of carrots (I used a potato peeler), thin slices of celery, a clove of elephant garlic slivered. and about 3 slices of tomato cut into quarter chunks and a small handful of fresh spinach very large chopped. I heated a pan with a couple tablespoons of olive oil and sprinkled rosemary in it allowing the rosemary to toast a bit before adding all the salad mix minus the tomato. Salt and pepper and cook until spinach and cabbage begins to wilt. flipping with a utensil occasionally. I then added the tomato and drizzled red wine vinegar over everything and mix continue cooking until tomatoes are warmed.
As I was preparing the veggies I had my maple sausage links cooking and set aside when done. About the time I added the tomato I fried an egg convering to cook until yolk turned opaque.
Plate and serve.
Bon Appétit.
Laurie

You're breakfasts always look and sound delicious Laurie. Today I made a sausage quiche with hashbrown crust. Actually I made it last night and heated it this morning. My brother made a face when I said quiche. I asked him if he even knew what a quiche was and he said no, but it sounded like something he wouldn't like. After he tasted it he naturally made a pig of himself and ate a crapload of it. He said it was more like loaded scrambled eggs. I told him no, it was a quiche. Sigh...try to make something slightly upscale for a rube and that's what you get.

That is the truth. My dad and both Tyler and Tristan have acted a little skeezy about something I have made only to end up really liking it. I love to cook and I love trying new recipies. I do make kind of elaborate breakfasts sometimes but my dad likes a hot breakfast and I don't mind making it for him considering all the stuff he does for me. Tyler just happens to benefit from it. I did toy with the delightfully mean idea of just making single serving breakfasts for my dad but that's too mean even to do to an older brother. Lol

Good morning folks,
This morning is a breakfast of leftovers.
Leftover NY steak, a potato pancake made from 1/2 of a baked potato mashed with butter, leftover whole kernel corn and Lima beans with a bit of browned chorizo. mixed and fried in a hot fry pan then sprinkled with Smokey chipotle Tabasco sauce and a fried egg. It all came together well and tasted pretty good too.
Bon appétit,

I got up too late for breakfast so I made brunch instead. (A couple of upside down under gals kept me up all night then both went to bed on me.) I made Cheesy scrambled eggs, crunchy fried potato and elephant garlic sticks with bacon, and a wilted veggie side where I first fried rainbow peppers and green, red, and yellow onions in oil drained and added diced tomato and spinach.
Bon appétit,

Lol, I suspect vegemite is the main ingredient of plastic explosive. Tammy, if you ever eat someplace that serves grits try them. But they are very filling so make sure you tell the waitress to only bring you half a grit.

They don't taste like corn at all, more like grainy, watery mashed potatoes that have been left out too long. (Even growing up in the south I've never liked grits at all so may be being unfair. :D)

Morning folks,
Here's another "leftover" dish.
Leftover fajita omelet. Stuffed with what else leftover fajita meat w/peppers and onion. finely diced red and green onion,rainbow peppers and shredded Mexican cheese blend. Cook, fold and plate. serve with a bit of the diced peppers and onions with added diced jalapeno, sprinkle with cheese and jalapeno slices.
Bon appétit,

Today I made breakfast eggrolls. It's egg, sausage , hash browns and cheese in a eggroll wrapper and deep fried. I had sausage gravy dipping sauce for them.
2 eggs and paleo blt (no bread, using romaine leaves as the holder) with cilantro. I marinated the Roma tomatoes in salt, pepper, oregano and vinegar and of course, hellmann's mayo.

Hi folks,
This morning I made an omelet stuffed with chorizo with diced onions, rainbow peppers, and cheese of course. I sprinkle a bit of chorizo on top then poured the poblano pepper sauce over it and lastly sprinkled with more shredded cheese. Unfortunately it came out looking like a green accident aka The Exorcist. ((Sigh)) But it did taste good.
I'll link to the picture on Tia's post if you are interested in seeing the mess.

This morning I made apple fritter pancakes.
I tried to make cloud eggs. It did not go well. My mold let too much of the whites run out of the bottom, the yolk didn't even cook the tiniest bit... and I think I didn't whip the whites enough to begin with. God, what a failure that was. Just tasted like a weirdly textured fast food biscuit egg. Next time I'll try oven in a ramekin I think.

I made cloud eggs once and they came out fine, but my dad and brother weren't crazy about them so I haven't ever made them again. But my dad is a nut for meringue pies so I've done a lot of egg whites. Make sure your beater and bowl are totally clean and dry. If possible use a copper bowl. Never use an aluminum or wood bowl to beat egg whites. Bring the egg whites to room temperature before beating them. Add a pinch of salt or cream of tarter to your egg whites to help keep them from falling.
Hope this helps.

I did a touch of lemon juice to help them along, but mostly I was just in a hurry. I used a generic plastic bowl since only other options were the aluminum and wood as you said (not that I use my bamboo bowl for anything but Japanese rice). It was a spur of the moment experiment fortunately not a planned out breakfast for all. :D

The problem is probably the plastic bowl. You don't want to introduce fat into the egg whites but plastic behaves like fat. The bowl should be metal or glass.
Good morning folks,
Here is another one of my easily variable creations. I first started by browning some maple sausage links and bacon pieces. while they were cooking I melted about a tablespoon of butter in a medium fry pan on medium - low heat and placed a soft taco sized flour tortilla on top of the butter. I then cracked 2 eggs on top of that breaking the yolks and gently mixing them with the whites spreading them across the tortilla. As those were doing their thing I rough diced rainbow peppers, red onion, green onion, broccoli, chunks of mushrooms and several jalapeno slices. With the meat browned I diced the saugage, mixed it with the bacon pieces and distributed it over the eggs. Then I spread the mixed veggies over the meat and covered with shredded cheese. Cover and cook until cheese is all melted. I then added several salted tomato slices covered and cooked a few more minutes them slid it out of the pan onto a plate and served. The veggies are still fairly crisp yet done. And it tastes good with lots of different flavors to be savored on your palette.
This creation is highly adaptable toy your personal tastes. Don't want flour tortilla? Use the kind you like. Don't eat meat? Don't use meat. Have a hankering for different veggies? Use your own favorites. MY only problem with it is there is enough here for two and I eat it all myself due to not having someone to share it with.
Bon appétit,
Laurie

Once again Laurie your breakfast looks sooo good.😊 I made blueberry waffles this morning. One of my brothers friends came by and I let him have some too. He commented that they were not round and then said they were really good and asked me what kind they were. I told him I had made them myself and he looked at me weird. When I explained they weren't from the toaster he was amazed. Don't people ever cook?

Thank you Julia for the compliment. Blue berry pancakes are good. My Mom used to throw all kinds of thinks into pancakes. Sausage, bacon, fruit, leftover mashed potato and corn come to mind.
Pancakes made from scratch are always the best but since it is only for myself I just grab the bisquick box. And to answer your question less and less people learn even the basics of cooking each year. It hard to teach your kids to cook when Mom doesn't know how herself. Too many basic living skills are being lost these days.

I wouldn't be able to make toast if I had followed my mom's example. She hates to cook and flat refused to. She was very happy with a lean cuisine from the microwave. When my brother and I were little my dad is the one who cooked for us. I'm not going to say anything nasty because he did the best he could but Tyler Florence he's not. I learned to cook from my grandma, the lady next door and food network. And I found that old cookbooks have the best recipes too.

Same for me if I had followed either of my parents' example. My mom cooked some, but it was usually pretty simple stuff. As much as I loved my mom I hate to say it, but she just wasn't a natural cook. :D (Well, aside from a few favorites I grew up on like her french toast. That was incomparable!) Fun story. Before I was born my mom saw a recipe in the newspaper for a cake she wanted to try. Well, the recipe called for blue cheese. Obviously this was a mistake. But it raised no red flags for my mom whatsoever, and she followed the recipe exactly. While the paper printed a correction the next day saying "oops, cream cheese", the house continued to stink for a week.
Funny enough my major method of learning to cook was watching chefs at Japanese steakhouses. As this was pre-youtube and every other show on TV being cooking related, they were some of the few people I had a chance to just stop and watch cook. I learned a lot just by emulating them as much as possible, which I then adapted with a few cookbooks my mom would pick up for me. (My favorite is this one that is basically just a textbook on Cajun cuisine. Since Cajun cuisine is all about taking the best of french techniques and applying them to everyday life instead of some Le Cordon Bleu snobbery, I think it is probably the single best cuisine to truly learn from. Burn the roux in Paris? Too bad, throw it out, you're a disgrace who just wasted time and money. Burn the roux in N'Orleans? Why, you just made an entirely new dish that is equally delicious!)
My mom is a very good cook however if there is on thing that's likely to go wrong on the menu, it will be meat. What happens is she will take a tough cut of beef and cook it at a high temperature. If you take the toughest cut of beef which is brisket and cook it covered in a close fitting pan at 275f for 6 hours, it will come out melt in your mouth. With proper treatment of the brisket before cooking, it makes a very good inexpensive meat. Prime rib even though it's a good cut of meat needs much the same treatment.
It used to be the one cookbook every kitchen should have was "The Joy of Cooking". When the family was still publishing it, you could find almost everything you needed to know in it. The newer editions are not as good so beware if you want a copy of it. Add to that a few special books and you could have a good reference library.

I have an old copy of the joy of cooking. Another excellent really old one is The settlement cook book. There is at least one advantage to having a dad who scrounges through used bookstores. I think a lot of people have trouble with meat. I got a electric pressure cooker. It makes any cut of meat tender.
Yup old cook books are best, Mum gave me a Be-Ro flour cake booklet and its so old its in LB and OZ and Fahrenheit not grams and centigrade. When I say I cook from scratch a lot of folks say cant be bothered , micro meals or take aways full of fats and salt no wonder there is so many unhealthy folk about.

Heart attack on a plate. 2 sausages, 2 bacon, black pudding, fried egg, tomato, beans, mushrooms. Enough cholesterol to sink a battleship! These are for guests, I don't bother eating til about lunchtime
I made Banana stuffed French toast.
Morning folks,
This morning's offering is a scramble with just a few items. Two eggs, bacon, hot Italian sausage, chorizo, sliced elephant garlic, jalapenos, yellow and red onion, rainbow peppers and spinach. I think that was all. It was a little on the spicy side.. just how I like it ;-).
Bon appétit,
Laurie

I made biscuits with sausage gravy.
Today was simple comfort food. Egg rich French toast made with thick sliced cinnamon swirl bread, a couple of sausage links, some old fashion molasses syrup and strong black coffee, apple cinnamon tea for my sweet heart, all consumed late enough in the morning to be considered decadent.
The meals both of you (Julia and Tia) made sound good Ladies.
Tia,
I have a frozen baggie of my first poblano sauce set aside in my freeze for you. I also need to do something with these five poblano peppers I bought a day or so ago.

I just finished making a breakfast casserole ready for the oven as soon as my lazy ass dad, brother and boyfriend get up. Eggs, sausage, bacon, mushrooms, onion, peppers, sun dried tomatoes and tater tots. Yes, tater tots. My brother loves tater tots so I keep them on hand. But they are small and bite size so I thought why not put them in the casserole. The hashbrowns I usually make wouldn't work well in a casserole. The thought of them sleeping peacefully is sweet. It makes me want to vacuum the upstairs and play loud music. Lol :icon_twisted:
Good morning Julia,
Well it sounds good but I still want to see pictures before you get my seal of approval. I am on my first cup of coffee still so I haven't given a thought to breakfast yet.
I vote both music loud enough to be heard over the vacuuming.
Hugs,
Laurie

I'll see if I can get a picture of it after I cook it. It's just such a pain to post pictures with Imgur. I wish you could just post them directly from my phone gallery. I forgot to mention the cheese. Light cheddar. What would a breakfast casserole be without cheese?? Well sure the music has to be loud enough to hear over the vacuum. Otherwise what's the use? Lol
Good morning folks.
Just a bit of pancakes with bacon inside, fried eggs on top and both maple sausage and bacon on the side.

Well went for the big breakfast this morning. Ran out of rocket and tomatoes a couple of days ago so ended up very protein heavy.
Chicken Snags, Bacon, Egg, Fish, Toast & Hollandaise - Not exactly healthy but at 4:00 in the morning who cares

Hi Laurie
According to google (so don't quote me on this) the US name for Rocket is Arugula.

Sorry Tammy I guess my question wasn't understood with my comment on rocket. I meant I had to find that one out previously as the terminology is (to me) foreign. What I actually wanted to know is what made up the contents on your plate. I see a soft boiled egg on very light toast, hash brown patty I think and a long sausage of some sort. I'm not sure what the last item is but my guess is Canadian bacon. How did I do? At least I do not see any Vegemite.

Today was a simple breakfast of potato with bacon, onions and bell peppers seasoned with rosemary, salt and cracked pepper, 3 breakfast sausages, 1 fired egg and well salted tomato slices.

have just porridge and banana or fry up when I have a day of but for a change did a Laurie and cooked bacon, chopped it up then threw in mushrooms, cherry tomatoes, red and green peppers and some left over mixed veg (peas, sweet corn , baby carrots and beans) then 3 beaten eggs , just picture a messy omelette, messy but tasty.
The ingredients are good the final product may look messy but looks don't affect taste much

A lot of times my food doesn't look pretty or perfect but it tastes good. Actually I don't bother much with presentation. With my dad and brother there isn't any use. It would be like spending an hour sculpting a steak into a beautiful statue and throwing it to a bunch of lions. Lol
Just found out you can cook grits in a crock pot. Just the stone ground ones though. let them cook all night and they will be ready in the morning.
What I have most mornings, 5 eggs sunny side up over Roma tomato and jalapeño with homemade sausage, usually 3oz. This week I made my sausage more Middle Eastern, allspice, marjoram, coriander, fennel and some sage.

Breakfast cooked on a base of melted butter, a flour tortilla, 2 eggs spread over the top, a layer of spinach. Followed with a layer of precooked bacon and chicken mango/ jalapeno sausage, green onion, yellow onion, rainbow bell pepper, and finished with shredded cheddar and jack cheeses.

That looks really good as all your breakfasts do. This morning I just did scrambled eggs, sausage and toast. I would post pictures of my food but it's a total pain downloading them on Imgur and then having to do the whole link here. I wish I could just post from my gallery like with my profile picture.
Thank you Julia. Not all of my breakfasts look good btw. Like the omelet that decided to stick real good to the pan. And not all my creations come out tasting as good as I intended. It is call IRL cooling.
I had had some not so good ideas too. Like the time some 40 years ago while out running around with friends we stopped for some ice cream and I had really been wanting a cold beer, so I ordered some chocolate ice cream and a beer and combined the two to make a chocolate beer float. Yes, I did drink it all. Many times in this life my thought processes have not been so good.
Wow this making me hungry this morning!
I've had a craving for scrambled eggs for a while now but usually my breakfast is muesli at my desk! At weekends I usually have croissants ans fruit :) x

Just posting so I can follow everyone's cooking exploits here. I almost always eat the same thing for breakfast, half a bagel and cream cheese.
One of my favorite breakfast meals is fried potatoes, wieners cooked in El Pato sauce with two eggs on top. No scrambled eggs allowed. If you can't handle a little spicy, this is not for you.
Some berries, double cream,nuts, whey powder, mct oil (dash) and single cream to smooth the whey. Or raw veggie salad with anchovies , yogurt and chili paste, in fact I've been addicted to this one since hrt!.
omg, I can't believe I didn't know there was a cooking section of Susan's until now!! I love breakfast, it's my favorite meal! I even bought an outdoor griddle so I can cook home fries and pancakes like the diners do!
I used to cook on the weekends and do cereal during the week but I haven't bought cereal in a couple months now. For a while I was doing 3 scrambled eggs with habanero tobasco mixed right in. the habanero not only gives it heat but a nice fruity flavor too! I've been craving hot sauce a lot since starting HRT. 3 eggs are filling enough and if you just use a little cooking spray then that breakfast is under 300 calories!
The last couple days I've been doing sausage and toast. I bought a good loaf of white bread from my favorite local bakery, then I sliced it and put it in the freezer, I take out 2 slices in the morning and throw them in the toaster oven and then do a half tablespoon of butter on each slice. I started liking sausage a lot more over the last couple months, and the other day I bought a 6 pack of mini breakfast sausage patties from Wegmans and they have great flavor, and only 80 calories per sausage! I started drinking my coffee black to make up for the extra calories lol
This morning I made blueberry waffles and sausage patties.
This morning I made three fried eggs with two slices of toast and two thick slices of peameal bacon. It's been my staple all week because I have been living in the library. I feel like it will be dinner again tonight since I won't be home until rather late again tonight.
Unless I only have three eggs left which, IIRC, there is...
I guess those will be breakfast for tomorrow.
It's been a little while since I offer up one of my breakfasts. I assure you I haven't stopped eating and to show you I have my breakfast from this morning. It's another omelet. Well what do you expect I like omelets.
This morning I started by melting about 3 tbsp of butter, several tbsp (of just pour some in) of white wine with some bacon bits to which I added about 3 - 4 cloves of sliced garlic and let that cook while I washed and sliced 3 crimini mushrooms. Into the fry pan with them! Sprinkle with salt and pepper and saute until about half cooked.
While that is going on I prepare the eggs first spraying my pan with Pan and letting it begin to heat up on med-low setting. Into a cup or bowl I crack 2-3 eggs and add Scarborough fair (parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme.. what else would it be?) salt and fresh cracked pepper and my latest secret ingredient, a couple teaspoons of smokey chpolti tobasco sauce. Mix thoroughly with a fork and pour into the heated pan cover and let the eggs set to desired firmness to add the stuffings. While this is cooking mushrooms and garlic are ready and removed from heat and I diced up some green onion and rainbow pepper. As you can see in the picture below I covered half the eggs with the sauteed mushrooms, garlic and bacon and the other half with the veggies, then covered it all in shreeded cheese. I cover the pan and let the cheese melt before folding and serving.
That all there is to it.
Bon appettit,
Laurie

Wow, looks really hungry! All it needs is ketchup!
Forget the ketchup. An omelet demands salsa to liven it up. It used to be I had several of them a week and about the only omelet I didn't put it on was an apple omelet.
This morning I made a quiche. It had sausage, cheese and mushrooms in it.

Salsa is okay on some omelets so Dena gets a pass on it.

You think ketchup is bad?? Tristan has actually put vegemite on his omelets. That's just so...wrong. I don't allow vegemite in the house but he smuggles it in. Lol
The answer is still NO Stephanie and keep those Bare naked ladies away from my omelets too.

I made another attempt at Creme Brulee French Toast this morning (started it yesterday). This batch turned out amazing. Previous didn't absorb the egg mixture properly and resulted in a mess of rubbery hanger on eggs all around the french toast, and the creme brulee crust just decided to stay watery and not bake right. Today there was not a single drop of unabsorbed egg and the "crust" was nice and crunchy and caramelized.
Challah bread is the best.
It sounds and looks good Ellie. Yes I had to look it up.

Challah makes the best French toast! I didn't used to like French toast until I made it with challah. My mother in law sends us home with freshly baked challah every Friday night :)
I find French toast to be a great comfort food when I'm sick plus it's one of the few things I am able to eat when I don't have much appetite and everything else just sounds like yuck
Couldn't eat last night but woke up about 3:am and made some average French toast with two thick sliced French bread slices soaked in a batter of two eggs, splash of milk, cinnamon and nutmeg
Fried 'em up in a pan and topped them with some cheap generic syrup heated with crushed pineapple and a sprinkle of powdered sugar ;D
Oh, also fried up the leftover batter for a small side egg
Today I made an omelette with sauteed mushroom, onion and cheese with some bacon and French toast made with raisin bread and of course topped with powdered sugar and pineapple syrup ;D
This morning I made eggs, bacon, hashbrowns,biscuits and gravy.

Oh, how I love biscuits & gravy if they're prepared right.
My list depends on how hungry and energetic I am. When I lived in Texas and bacon could be purchased for two bucks a pound and eggs 99 cents for jumbo, that's what I had.
Would usually have either toast or waffles and a glass of milk :)

I think it's Campbell's that has a sausage gravy in the can and sometimes I'll use that. Or, Pioneer has a couple
gravy mixes. But, making them from scratch is awesome.
White sauce/gravy is really easy to make. Place one table spoon flour in one tablespoon fat and cook for a minute or two. Then and one cup fluid and cook until thick. White sauce is butter, flour and milk. For cheese sauce, make a white sauce and gradually add cheese.

this morning I decided to do a breakfast version of chicken bacon ranch. Basically I just replaced the chicken with a much younger version of itself and added some jalapeno, it was so good! I also put some ranch seasoning on the home fries, it worked really well! I didn't want to just use cheese though, I wanted to step it up, so I grated some cheddar and spread it out in a circle on some parchment paper and I baked it, I need to do this way more often because it really amped up the flavor and I used less cheese than I normal would have!

I'm going to try my hand at making donuts sometime soon. The other day I came up with a list of 40 ideas for donuts (a lot of which I found out were already done by other places, but whatever, still good ideas), and I've been adding to the list over the weekend, I probably have over 50 ideas by now! If they come out good then this could definitely turn into a business some day, there's only one place in my town that does homemade donuts and while they're very good the flavors are pretty traditional, a lot of my ideas are kind of out there, so I think there's a market for this!
Someone gave me a loaf of fresh brioche to play with and sabotage my diet, so I just made french toast tacos. What are french toast tacos, you ask? Why, I'll tell you! French toast tacos are where I make regular french toast, then I put a huge glob of butter and an ungodly amount of powder sugar on top, so that when I fold the french toast like a taco shell the shear amount of butter and powdered sugar is equivalent to the volume of a normal taco's fillings.

Cookie dough? Definitely eat raw. Cinnamon roll dough? ... Ew.

Someone gave me a loaf of fresh brioche to play with and sabotage my diet, so I just made french toast tacos. What are french toast tacos, you ask? Why, I'll tell you! French toast tacos are where I make regular french toast, then I put a huge glob of butter and an ungodly amount of powder sugar on top, so that when I fold the french toast like a taco shell the shear amount of butter and powdered sugar is equivalent to the volume of a normal taco's fillings.
Down here in the southern U.S., we call that a health food.
:D :D :D

That sounds really good but that must be like 1000 calories! Wow, I thought I made fattening food. I do love French toast . I make it often but I don't eat it very often. I don't usually eat anything I make for breakfast. I have a green smoothie and coffee.

Ok, so I didn't make these, but they were so good that I wanted to share! I went to a diner in the middle of nowhere this morning and got Boston Cream Pancakes! and I saw a really pretty sunrise!

Yeah you aren't alone. My brother gets skeezed out by stuff that is creamy and white. He loves sausage gravy but I have to use kitchen boquet to turn it brown. And when I make him a sandwich I have to mix some mustard into the mayo so it's yellow and not white. The sight of cottage cheese makes him gag. He's been that way since he was little. My dad would get so annoyed with the mayo thing when we were little. The mustard had to be well mixed into the mayo. If the mayo had white streaks in it Tyler wouldn't touch it. He would always check his sandwiches too. Lol.

Exactly. I don't like to talk to or interact with anyone until I have coffee. I usually get up before everyone else so I can have coffee in peace without having someone start asking what I'm going to make for breakfast. Or having to deal with my dad who is weirdly always chatty and in a good mood when he wakes up. It's not natural I tell ya!

How? How are people like that? Like... in a good mood and chatty first thing in a morning? HOW!? I really don't understand those kinds of people. At all. My mum used to be like that when I was a kid. First thing in a morning she'd be almost floating round the house, with a giant grin and being like "Come on, you're wasting the day!" To which I was like "GOOD!!"
It isn't natural, at all. Morning is the time where you look at the snooze button on your alarm clock, and then jam it down repeatedly until you break a nail.
Prepare to hate me: I can't stand coffee, have a very minor caffeine intake(a coke every so often), and despite insomnia issues still wake up and am perfectly happy and functional in the morning. >:-)

I had watery,rubbery scrambled eggs and toast that had one tiny little bit of butter in the middle. My dad made me breakfast. It wasn't very good but I ate it. It was very sweet of him and I didn't want to hurt his feelings. How the eggs could be both rubbery and watery is one of those weird cosmic mysteries I will never know the answer to.

Cook rice. Toss rice in sushi-su (seasoned rice vinegar). Put steaming rice in bowl. Crack egg over rice. Let rice steam cook egg as it seeps throughout. Top with furikake or nori and sesame seeds. Victory.

I'm going to be honest, I don't think I could keep that drink down, particularly after eating a can of sardines. I tried the ACV for health thing... it... was not my thing. :D

Don't feel bad. I tried the ACV thing in the morning's and even using a drink recipe with honey I couldn't deal with it. I do love sardines but first thing in the morning, no. Just no. I usually just have a green smoothie for bteakfast made with spinach. Sounds gross I know but with a banana and a handful of berries it's actually very good.
This morning I made blueberry pancake for my grandson. I unfortunately can no longer eat blueberries, sad. I have eaten blueberries since when I was young and picking them right off the bush on Mount Rainier. But I've developed an allergy to them.
I still feel like crap but I can make breakfast. But all the guys have insisted on making it for me. This morning my brother said he made me a breakfast sandwich. I asked him if he made it or it was store bought. He said no, it was homemade. I was thinking Hmmm I wonder if it will be eatable. So I look at it and it looked good. I looked at the egg and sausage patty and cheese and it looked good. It also looked very familiar. That's because I made it! I made a bunch of breakfast sandwiches a couple of weeks ago and froze them in case someone needed a quick breakfast or in my brothers case a snack. I told him he was busted and that was a sandwich I had made and froze. He said what about it? I told him he was such a liar! He said he didn't lie, that he never said he had made it from scratch, only that it was homemade, which it was. Sigh....there's that guy logic again.

Yeah, my boyfriend once told me that. I don't like having my feet touched or messed with. I never have. In fact my dad told me when I was like 6 months old he was blowing raspberries on my feet and I kicked him in the face and made his nose bleed. Lol. Anyway, Tristan grabbed my foot wanting to give me a foot massage and I said he knew I didn't like having my feet touched. He said " but you have socks on". SO?????? Ugh!
When I moved to Texas back in 2013, I thought I had died and gone to heaven, well not really died or went to heaven but you can buy bacon for $2.00/Pound and jumbo eggs for a buck and sour dough bread for about a buck and a pound of good butter for under 2.
My daily diet became bacons, eggs, toast (sometimes Eggos) and it messed up my manly figure. I'm still hung up on bacon but refuse to pay over four bucks a pound and that's cut back. However, the store had the pounds of Jimmy Dean's sage sausage on sale for $1.50/Pound and it's taken bacon's place for a while.

A lot of times when I want eggs I use eggbeaters. They taste pretty much like eggs but don't have near as many calories. If you make an omelet with eggbeaters and stuff it full of vegetables and a little lowfat cheese it's really good! I eat carrot bacon. It's lengthwise thin slices of bacon (I use a mandolin to slice them) mixed with some liquid smoke and baked until crispy. If you don't think you're ready for that you could switch to turkey bacon. Turkey sausage is really good too.
I meant lengthwise slices of carrot. Duh. I'm not fully awake yet.

A lot of times when I want eggs I use eggbeaters. They taste pretty much like eggs but don't have near as many calories. If you make an omelet with eggbeaters and stuff it full of vegetables and a little lowfat cheese it's really good! I eat carrot bacon.

Carrots sliced lengthwise is NOT bacon no matter how you cook it. I also do not consider chicken, turkey, soy beans or anything except pork as bacon. The same things go for hamburgers, if it isn't beef it ain't hamburger. A patty of something yes but not hamburger.
This morning I made cheesy scrambled eggs with diced bell peppers, onions and chunks of Italian sausage.

Yes, I've heard as much before. I was cooking breakfast one morning and I was making bacon for the guys and carrot bacon for me. Tristan said he was hungry and the smell of bacon was making him more hungry. I told him some of the bacon was done already and he could have some. I gave him some of my carrot bacon. He got this really confused look and held a piece up into the light. He said " Julia, this is a piece of carrot, it's NOT bacon"! I told him it was a lot healthier than regular bacon. He said he didn't want a carrot crisp for breakfast, that he wasn't a rabbit. Then he told me to stop calling a slice of carrot bacon. He could at least have tried it!

Oh, they make some really good tofu breakfast sausage too.
I love cooking breakfast, but I don't do it as often as I'd like, Sometimes, I cook breakfast foods for lunch or dinner. My favorite dishes to prepare are pancakes and French omelettes.

Would you still call patties of other meats or plant substitutes a burger?
When I was younger one of my crazy friends and I would say we were making rat burgers just to mess with our girlfriends at the time

Yeah, my dad's the same way. Once I made mushroom burgers and asked my dad if he wanted one and he said yes. So after he took a couple of bites he said " you're a very good cook pumpkin and please don't be upset by me saying this but this hamburger doesn't taste right". I told him it wasn't a hamburger it was a mushroom burger. He said he knew that but the meat tasted strange. I told him there was no meat in it and explained the burger was made of mushrooms, blackbeans, and a few other things. He actually got a little annoyed with me. He informed me a mushroom burger was a hamburger with mushrooms melted into some Swiss cheese on top. He told me what I gave him was a mushroom & bean patty. Then he told me I should have better sense than to make a nasty ass thing like that for him. It's like he's insulted by non meat hamburgers. Lol. He's so weird sometimes.

I agree. Buffalo makes a buffalo burger, not a hamburger. Ground turkey makes nothing I acknowledge because never make a burger of any sort out of ground turkey. (Seriously, I love it for meat sauces and some other stuff, but for the love of god, no turkey burgers people!)
That does beg the question though... What if you make a burger out of ham?

I love portobello steaks and non meat proteins. But I have to say, I hate it when people make faux meat out of them. To me it's like... just eat the meat, or eat the vegetable/tofu/etc. the way it's meant to be eaten.Tofu can be amazing, but never in the shape of a pot roast. Most people never try (good) tofu because of that, thinking it's all just some wannabe vegan chicken breast or garden burger.
Julia - Your dad is 100% correct again. He is a very smart man.
Elie - I pretty much agree with you. Don't try to feed me something that it is not. Faux meat is not meat. I want pork, beef, chicken, turkey as what they are. Not fake meats that do not taste like the real thing. And even if they did I still wouldn't want it. If you have to fake real food just eat the real food. I will eat vegetable dishes and tofu if it is served to me but they are not a substitute for MEATS no matter how you dress it up.
BTW what does this have to do with breakfast? Someone start a fake food thread if you want to go veggie.
Unless of course it is a veggie breakfast.

Laurie

You're wanted. Just your friends; Blackbean, Mush and tofu aren't :)
BREAKFAST THEN! :D Tomorrow I am going to put together a left over carnitas breakfast burrito. Pork, scrambled egg, some bell pepper and onion. Not sure what else, I'm thinking something along the lines of a light chipotle ranch.
The black beans and mushrooms can stay but tofu is just a nasty excuse for jello gone bad
Today it was a sandwich on white toast; peanut butter, Chinese red pepper flakes, and an egg over easy. I ate it with V8 and coffee.
Don't judge me! I have a bad cold.
(Yes, I could taste it. Surprisingly good.)

I love tofu however I have never had it for breakfast. I get the firm or extra firm tofu blocks at the grocery and have for a long time eaten a lot of it, although like plain tilapia fish, I really do prefer it with something else, or soaked in a soup or sauce. Like tilapia, tofu absorbs all those delightful flavors from the sauces, yum!
I do not eat much tilapia. I do not know when the last time I ate tilapia, but I eat tofu a lot.
It is good stuff.

Exactly. Tofu itself doesn't have a lot of flavor but it does absorb flavors from whatever you cook it with.

Thanks Sweetie. I might just try it then. Love mushrooms of all kinds. For some reason, Tofu and rice cakes have given me that "that's weird food" syndrome.
Cassi,
I never gave that much thought to that about mushrooms. Perhaps because I would often eat raw mushrooms on salads? You are right, sautéd mushrooms for sure grab those sumptuous flavors.
Hmmm, a juicy steak with a mushroom and onion topping sounds like a good meal to look forward to for a meal soon.

Try large portebellos with crab and cheese inside sauteed and baked in wine.....................
This talk about mushrooms has nudged me to order mushrooms in my chop suey when I eat that again. I enjoy those little "button mushrooms" that I really do not remember seeing in food dishes much except chop suey or chow mein. Even in Asian buffets, the mushrooms seem to be the standard large ones.
But I am not in the mood for Asian food today. I think I want a nice steak!
Some things never change. Coffee. :)
Ahh yes, coffee. I already had two cups today. Now what I do not know if they are C or B cups.
Well, looking at them again, I'd say they are B cups. Sorry, I could not help myself with that silly comment.
I do enjoy good coffee, but I do not drink lots of it, and I have it mostly in the mornings.

One 16 oz cup of Jamaican Blue for me, any more and I'll keep everyone up all night! :laugh: >:-) :angel:
I don't hate tofu and have actually tried it, it just isn't my thing but I do respect that other folks like it
Nevermind that I tend to call it tojam >:-)
I saute mushrooms because they taste and digest better, sauteed some with onion, garlic and pepper to go on my Italian breakfast sandwich this morning ;D
Coffee for breakfast is okay but anything after 12pm will keep me up all night. Started making ice coffee last year in Texas. My son was spending 4-5 bucks for it and back when I worked I liked it.
I'll brew four or five pots and put the coffee into mason jars to the 12 mark, seal and put in cold water until I hear the "plink". Then refrigerate. Filling at the 12 mark allows for addition of creamer, milk or sugar. Usually just creamer for me. I call it Frugal Delight and its usually a french roast, lol.
I'm an espresso person. Hot, hard and fast. I've never managed to a cold coffee. Something about just doesn't feel right! Normally I only drink espresso until 1pm but if I'm going out I'll have a few more.

I'm not averse to drinking stone cold coffee if I fall asleep after I've just made a cup and don't drink it, lol. I just down it after I wake up. >_< I think caffeine has kind of lost its effect on me. Either that or I need it drip fed to feel anything from it anymore, lol.
Iced coffee is nice. I bought one the other day out of curiosity, wondering how coffee-like it actually is. It wasn't bad at all. A bit too milky for my tastes, though. I normally take mine black without sugar. Basically Coffee. Mug. Water. Done.

When I first started making the ice coffee in batches I tried adding a teaspoon of cocoa and some milk and shaking it up to give it a different cool flavor. Ice coffees tend to be too sugaree and milkee. Then I decided to just fill it to the 12 oz level and can it for lack of a better reference. Now, depending on what's available - daughter insists on either french vanilla or hazelnut creamer, I'll use that or milk. Prefer milk as it doesn't have the sugar or sweetness. Cream and coffee kewl.

Maybe something different. Devil (Devlyn) eggs are hardboiled eggs, that are peeled, cut in half and yoke is extracted. Yoke is then mixed with a few ingredients and replaced in the pocket that use to hold the yoke. Not much of a holiday item other than pot lucks.
Stuffed mushrooms are good. I like getting large Portebellos, crab meat, cheese and light wine. mix the crab meat and cheese, put in the area that the stalk was removed from mushroom and bake in wine - yummy.

I make deviled eggs quite a bit. My brother declared deviled eggs "foot ball watching food" so during the hateful football season I make them almost every weekend. My family can't be happy with a bag of chips and a bag of pretzels, they like actual food while they watch football.

Anyone who doesn't like deviled eggs has never had properly made ones! :D There are a LOT of bad deviled eggs out there that are just plain sloppy. Hint: It shouldn't ever just taste like a glob of mayo in a hard-boiled egg white. The paprika should not be random cheapo stuff, but real, quality and flavorful Paprika. Smoked for a bit of a unique flavor, or a very nice Hungarian otherwise. A homemade pickle relish can also really kick the flavor up a notch. A touch of dill is also a must, everyone leaves off the dill. That is one of the big flaws. The final result should be creamy, but not mayo like wet, and taste sort of like an aioli.

Stop it Ellie! You're making the german shepherd drooooooool.

Anyone who doesn't like deviled eggs has never had properly made ones! :D There are a LOT of bad deviled eggs out there that are just plain sloppy. Hint: It shouldn't ever just taste like a glob of mayo in a hard-boiled egg white. The paprika should not be random cheapo stuff, but real, quality and flavorful Paprika. Smoked for a bit of a unique flavor, or a very nice Hungarian otherwise. A homemade pickle relish can also really kick the flavor up a notch.

I have no idea if I make proper deviled eggs or not. I put the yokes through a ricer then add some mayo and about a teaspoon of dijon mustard. I also add a tiny bit of very finely diced onion and celery. From the way they get scarfed up I assume they're good. Oh....I haven't ever put dill in them before. ( hanging head in shame)
I think it's like anything else, everyone makes them to their own likings
I usually put the yokes in a bowl add some mayo and horseradish mustard with some paprika, garlic powder and black pepper and whisk it around until it's mixed and spoon it onto the whites

They sound good to me. If I make them myself, I might add, crap or olives but rarely use mustard.

Yeah, I mostly stick with basic stuff. I once decided to make really fancy deviled eggs with paper thin salmon slices on top. All the eggs were eaten and all the salmon slices were left on the platter.
Neglecting the salmon is sinful behavior, I love salmon

That was funny. Now, if I was a guy and saw that I'd probably think it was some sort of cover :)
Try the dill, you will never go back!! The onion and celery is a nice touch, gotta have a bit of crunch (that's what I use the relish for). Also, smoked salmon on deviled eggs is good, though I usually can't keep smoked salmon around long enough to do anything special with it. I devour it instantly.

I've been working on my salad making and recently began including mushrooms, olives, shrimp and today, sliced hardboiled egg :)
Will get to revising my devil eggs using your suggestion. Also like using jumbo eggs when I do :)
What is a ricer
Oh, one more deviled egg trick... KEWPIE MAYO. It's Japanese style mayo, has a unique flavor compared to western mayo and I vastly prefer it. (I don't actually like western mayo at all.) You may know it as the white sauce usually crisscrossed on sushi.

Take it a step further and go full on food network circa 2011 and use Creme Fraiche. ;D (Seriously, it's really good. Just never buy it from the store, it's easy to make for 1/10th the cost. For those who don't know, it's a fatty sour cream and handles heat better than regular sour cream.)

That sounds good I'll have to try adding it. When I make scrambled eggs I use one egg yolk per every 2 whole eggs and I add heavy cream and cook them slowly in a double boiler. The come out really perfect and creamy. I don't make them in a double boiler very often. Why go to the bother of perfect scrambled eggs when my brother is just going to drown them in ketchup and Tristan puts vegemite on his. 😣😖

Carrots sliced lengthwise is NOT bacon no matter how you cook it. I also do not consider chicken, turkey, soy beans or anything except pork as bacon. The same things go for hamburgers, if it isn't beef it ain't hamburger. A patty of something yes but not hamburger.
This morning I made cheesy scrambled eggs with diced bell peppers, onions and chunks of Italian sausage.

Absolutely, there needs to be a lot of butter on toast. I think it is a guy thing. When my dad would pack my lunches for school he would put lots of peanut butter on the bread but would always only put a little bit of jelly in the middle. Lol it was basically a peanut butter sandwich.

That can happen if you try to fold the omelet too soon. Watch the edges, when they start to lift in the pan then gently fold it. You also need a good size pan and a wide egg turner helps too.

thanks! It's not that hard, I packed the potato tight and poured oil into a cast iron skillet, not enough to cover the whole thing but a good amount, maybe like 1/8th of an inch. not healthy but it helps make a good crust!
When I get in the mood for it, I make hash brown potatoes.
But I take the easy way out and use a box of dried potatoes that actually do
turn out pretty good hash browns when you follow the directions for cooking them.
I am sure they are not anywhere close to what Maddie makes. But they are as good as many
I have had at breakfast restaurants.

I think I always go stingy on the oil and then a bit over on the heat. I suspect it's because I'm a little impatient waiting for food haha.

Hi folks,
I have still been cooking breakfast but haven't been posting them much for awhile. So today I though I would post this mornings breakfast. It wasn't anything particularly special but it was good.
Today's offering consists of two fried eggs (what looks like a broken yolk is but from a third eggs that I had to clean up from the stove top), Slices of salted tomato, and a mix of Chorizo, spinach, sliced mushrooms sauteed in butter and garlic, green onion, shredded Parmesan cheese and tomato. Served with coffee.
Bon appétit,

Hey Hun,
If you weren't late coming to that table you would know I started this thread and have posted lots of my breakfast dishes here. Breakfasts because it is the meal I cook for myself almost every day. My sister usually takes care of dinner for us but there are times when she'll turn to me and ask "What are you cooking us for supper?" Like she did yesterday and I made chicken fried rice.
That said, I do agree that many folks here have very good cooking skills, even the younger ones.

You're right. The appearance of food has a big effect with people. When my neighbor was teaching me to make southern fried chicken she said she always used some yellow food coloring to the oil. The chicken comes out a beaufuful yellow gold color. After that I started adding yellow food color to my tempura batter and to the water I boil pasta in. The pasta comes out really pretty. I once sent my brother to get a box of spaghetti and he called me from the pasta aisle and said he had looked at all the pasta and couldn't find the yellow spaghetti I always used. Lol

I learned a lot from my grandma and the lady next door. I also like the old cookbooks. They have some really good recipes. A lot of the newer cookbooks don't have the old recipes because the author assumes people are too lazy to make them, which is true for a lot of people. I find it funny how people will make cookies from refrigerated cookie dough and call it baking. Lol. The first time I made a cheesecake my dad told me it seemed like a lot of work and asked why I didn't just make cheesecake the way he did when my brother and I were little. He did make us cheesecake but it was Jell-O cheesecake mix in a box. Lol. I just told him I wanted to try a different recipe. My dad is a million miles away from being Bobby Flay but I do appreciate that he cooked for us as best he could so I would never tell him his food wasn't very good.
I learned from my Mom as my sisters did and by experimenting when I got older. I was a better cook than my wife was. I taught my daughter some of my cooking methods and was proud when she would call me to ask how to cook something when we reconnected. Then she became a good cook in her own right. I like to experiment a bit when I cook. If it is a new recipe I will follow the instruction to see how it is made. The subsequent times that I cook it, I use the recipe as a guide for all the import stuff and embellish it a little. There are things that it is best not to ad-lib like baking cakes.

I have not had good results from twice trying to make tempura batter, despite using a box of Japanese tempura batter mix. Maybe I will just need to try one more time.
The tempura battered shrimp from the frozen foods of a grocery does not receive a passing grade from me. Those were not very tasty. Too small sized shrimp were used also.
Tempura shrimp can be wonderful in Tempura soup and of course as a meal or appetizer of shrimp. So yummy. The batter is obviously a key part of this delicacy. They do not need to be yellow necessarily, but that could be a pleasant addition to its presentation.

Use it with the flour, batter is perfect. Also is amazing for stuff like chinese restaurant fried chicken stuff like sweet and sour. Oh, and tempura, the water has to be ice cold. Keep icecubes in the water, as much as you can and still work with it. But be careful if you are going straight from batter to fryer because hte heat will melt hte cubes too fast, and then you have to add more flour/starch.
Tempura Udon is a truly amazing dish.
Thanks Ellie for the tip about making tempura batter.
Tempura Udon is great. I do enjoy those fat noodles.
I like lots of kinds of noodles.

Then sprinkles wit shredded cheddar cheese, plated and topped with hot salsa.
Bon appetit,

V M,
Now that is a new one for me. I never heard of pancakes with Swiss cheese on them.
Both are good, but I never had them together. I never had pineapple syrup on pancakes either.
Blueberry pancakes sounds yummy by itself, these extras sound interesting. I do like pineapple too.

It's really good, you just cook a pancake then put some butter and a slice of Swiss on it and repeat until you're out of batter and/or cheese
The syrup is real easy, I put some cheap syrup in a glass measuring cup and place it in a pan partially filled with water and let it warm, then add a spoon or so of crushed pineapple

Hi folks,
I am home again so I have to cook my own breakfasts again. Michelle fed me well while I was visiting. She is a good cook and hostess. She eats a lot healthier than I do. I did indulge in her cookies several times. I was beginning to think she may have been fattening me up for unknown reasons.
Today I Made a two egg omelet stuffed with chorizo, butter sauteed chopped spinach with rainbow peppers, fresh salsa, and green onion, extra sharp Tillamook cheddar cheese. It tasted as good as I expected.
Bon Appétit,
Laurie

This morning I fixed my rolled oats / oatmeal, with blueberries, blackberries, and raspberries. My boarder and I enjoyed this one. It is also one of the breakfasts that I served Laurie.
I really enjoy some good pancakes with a little butter and the natural maple syrup.
I also enjoy eggs, toast, hash browns, ham, and sometimes a breakfast steak or sausage links.
That stuff I can make as well as waffles. I need to learn how to make French toast and omelets.
Fruit is also good in the morning. I do enjoy some cereals. Sometimes I buy a bagel.
Chrissy.
I think I should move in with Michelle as her cooking and walking habits would allow be to shed some of this extra weight allow me to lose. She eats far healthier than I.
Chrissy - You can easily learn to make delicious breakfasts as most are pretty simple to prepare. When I went up to my daughter's place to help take care of my 4 grand kids while Mom and Dad were tending to grand child #5 I taught the little two how to cook a few breakfasts and the older grand son how to cook a few dinners like chicken Parmesan and shrimp scampi both with linguini noodles. There are several beginner cookbooks and many cooking site that have how to videos.

Laurie,
I have a lot to learn about cooking. There is a popular kind of water cooking with vacuum sealed foods that many restaurants now use, I think it is called Sous Vide, that I may explore too.
At least I can make the basics for breakfast and other meals. I am glad of that!

You probably already figured out that I am a snuggler by nature...
Scrambles, oatmeal with berries, all served in bed!
More of a brunch today due to lack of motivation.
This morning I made an omelet for two but had to consume :'( :'( it by myself Tis so sad.
Butter and garlic sauteed asparagus, green onion, red and orange bell pepper. Chorizo and cheddar cheese wrapped in 2 eggs seasoned with salt, pepper and Scarburough fair. Folded and topped with a sprinkle of cheese and salsa.

As usual Laurie, that looks really good. I usually make a big breakfast on Sunday so we had my dad's version of sausage gravy over biscuits. Canned sausage gravy over biscuits from a tube. But for him that was good work. I do appreciate the guys trying to cook but I will be happy when I can stand for more than a few minutes without getting tired so I can cook good stuff. Lol
Hi Julia,
You're right about your Dad, his heart is in the right place with you girl. Pneumonia is not fun and you don't get over it quickly. Think of a sponge with water sitting on the counter and trying to dry it with a no heat hair dryer. It's going to take a long time to dry it out. Your lungs is very like a sponge and getting it full of liquid is just like the water in that sponge. It will clear up but it is going to take time. Your weakness is because you have less oxygen able to get to the blood to feed all those hungry cells that make us tick.
I am sure your Dad and the boys can't wait to have you back in the kitchen. Oh btw always wear your shoes in the kitchen. Cliches Hun cliches....
Hugs,
Laurie

I know. They are trying. They aren't too thrilled having to do all the housework either but it hasn't been to much of a disaster. Thankfully my dad does know how to do laundry without messing it up. He can also iron his own clothes if he has too. Then there's poor Tyler. To him it's the worst thing ever if he has to iron his own stuff. My dad had a basket of his stuff to iron and went to get the ironing board. Tyler ran upstairs and grabbed his stuff and tried to mix it in with my dad's trying to be slick like my dad wouldn't notice. Of course he did. He told Tyler he could iron his own stuff. So Tyler tried his classic routine. " Aww come on dude, you have to do this for me! I'm your son, you're supposed to do stuff for me. Pleeeeeeaaaasse!" My dad just gave him his " really" look and told him even though his acting pitiful and the puppy eyes might work on me it totally didn't work on him. So Tyler got all huffy and stomped away. Lol. They may not be very good at housework but they are good entertainment.
Good Morning Folks,
This morning is a simple breakfast of fresh strawberries, banana, butter fried apple slices with a sprinkle of sugar and cinnamon, Maple sausage and a fried egg.

To this I added rainbow pepper, green onion, a egg, and some extra sharp cheddar cheese. The alpha and omega of my efforts are shown below.

It is real easy too. Cook the meats or anything else that needs pre cooking. Fry one side of a tortilla in butter then flip then crack an egg on it and spread over tortilla cook covered if you want the egg done first, then toss on toppings meats first then veggies and cheese. Cover until cheese is melted. Serve
There's a huge snowstorm all over New York so I'm stuck at home today. Last night I decided that this morning I would do cinnamon buns. I didn't have any cream cheese though for the icing, so I had to do a little thinking... Orange glaze and then maple glaze with bacon and maple walnut, yummmm!

so I'm off work for a 2nd day in a row because of snow, and I've been cooking up some good breakfasts!

and yesterday I did a peanut butter chocolate chip pancake, soooo yummy!! I think I have my pancake batter perfected now, I added peanut butter chips and chocolate chips to the cake right before I flipped it and then when it was done I topped it with a mix of peanut butter and pure maple syrup, I need to make this way more often! next time I might also try adding peanut butter infused butter lol

LOL... One of my neighbors made traditional Scottish scones (This batch has cherries in them) but my other clueless neighbors turned their noses up to it because well... They're clueless
So feeling dejected my poor neighbor put them out on the "free table", guess who has the option of a cherry scone at breakfast for awhile :icon_dribble:
I also made a point of telling her how absolutely wonderful they are ;D

Breathing issues suckless air.
I have to use a CPAP machine and the mask fits just over my nose. Problem is that my septum is a deviant so breathing thru the nose has always been an issue.
So, I use the Kroger brand of Breathe Right strips (they're actually better than the name brand and cost less) which I place on my nose before bed and my nasal passage stays open.
So, in a nutshell, I feel your pain on sinus and yucky stuff - continue to heal!

For the most part I fall to sleep pretty quick but have to do the nose thing like I mentioned. Cool air is great.
I have COPD and use a daily inhaler, should probably look into a CPAP system as my condition is progressing
But hey!!! This is the breakfast thread, so what's up for grub this morning?
When my girlfriend and I stay home, we usually whip up something quick. I like to do the migas(my family's version of stripped down chilaquiles, from northereastern mexico), which consists of cut squares of corn tortillas fried with olive oil/corn oil with semi grilled/sauted onions, add the two eggs, scamble them, add salt/pepper to your liking, once the eggs are well done, whala, your done. Put some Mexican hot sauce(tapatio) to your liking and some morning joe/tea, or whatever you drink in the am, and your done. Oh, yea, I forgot the Mexican cheese, sprinkle it after your done cooking, it melts into the food, over it.
Its pretty good actually.
Or for the full blown chilaquiles, you do the same as above, just add red Heinz hot sauce, warmed over the same plate you heated your eggs, or use a different skillet to heat the red sauce.
The link is of the more snazzy Chilaquiles from Wikipedia.

AND I'm not Carlos either, lol...
What I will make, Depends if I'm bright eyed, and bushy tailed or lazy in the am. The migas takes me back to my toddler days, when my mom would cook a quick batch of them for us(when I would pick the tortillas with my hands and eat them, with eggs on them).
Cooking just revives simpler days of my life, when my whole extended family would get together for massive shindigs in northeastern mexico, kill a whole cow, feed dozens of people in a Mexican ranch.

Tried to dried hash browns this morning and they were good. Added eggs and B A C O N.
I cook most meals as my wife is in a wheel chair and I like helping.
Our favorite is Sunday bacon and eggs for either breakfast lunch or supper depending on mood.

I used frozen rhubarb so this time I put it in a heavy pan and added some sugar and lemon juice with a lid on a low heat until it had stewed down. If I use fresh I add some water (about a pint for each kg of rhubarb). After either has stewed for an hour or two I strain off the juice and then heat up and dissolve in more sugar and lemon juice to taste. Then bottle it up and serve with club soda and measure of vodka :).
The left over rhubarb is great for crumble or pie.

We had deep fried mac & cheese at the place we ate yesterday. My daughter is weird when it comes to Mac & Cheese. When we'd go out for dinner like an Brazilian BBQ ($35/person) she'd go for Mac & Cheese and I'd tell her I'm not paying 35 bucks for mac and cheese. Enough said, need to get a recipe for that.

Maddie, how exciting.... a picture of you on your outing would be wonderful to see!!! But only as you feel comfortable doing, of course.
Do you make your own waffles at home? I make them often enough that I bought one of those flip-over waffle makers as seen in my photo.... simply the best!!!!
I ran out of Blueberries, otherwise the waffles I made would have been Blueberry Waffles.

Some days I make tamago gohan. You put warm rice in a bowl. I usually use leftover rice and warm it in the oven. I don't have a microwave.
You put a splash of soy sauce in the bowl and sprinkle toasted sesame seeds over it. I really like the taste of sesame so I usually drizzle some sesame oil, too.
Then you crack in a raw egg and stir it up until the rice is coated.
I really love it so it's a special treat when I have very fresh eggs.

If we go I will definitely try to get a pic!
and yeah, I make waffles but not too often, I have 2 waffle makers and both of them kinda stink, I need to invest in better ones. One of them is for Belgian stye waffles and then the other one is for the more dense but thinner kind, kinda like Waffle House. I used to like doing chicken and waffles but now that my tastes have changed idk how much I would like that dish. I've made this one dish before that I really liked, you make waffles and then top them with bacon and cover it with a mix of honey and peanut butter, yum!!
also, a couple weeks ago I went to Funk N Waffles in Syracuse, they've been on diners, drive-ins, and dives before. I tried the thanksgiving waffle, which is a waffle made out of stuffing topped with turkey, mashed potatoes, and gravy and served with a side of cranberry sauce! it was good but it seemed like it was missing something

So I went out today and my friend took a few pics of me but I don't like how any of them turned out so I'm not gunna post any, sorry! I had makeup issues this morning lol.
The breakfast went well though! My friend that I met actually used to work there, so the owner talked to her a bit and some of the cooks said hi. the owner didn't really introduce herself to me but she seemed alright, I always feel like people are gunna smirk at me and try not to laugh because I don't pass. One cook came out though and introduced himself to me and shook my hand and he genuinely seemed very nice and non-judgemental, which I really appreciated. The food was good but could have been better. I got a pineapple upside down waffle. it had a couple cherries and pineapples in the waffle and then it was topped with a pineapple chunk and whipped cream and had a slice of ham on the side. I thought it was just going to be a plain waffle but with crushed pineapple and cherry on top. I also thought the ham would be served on top kinda like a chicken and waffles type thing but it wasn't. It was good but it was missing something, they should have had a brown sugar glaze for it.

Damn. I guess I'm missing out on something.
I only eat fruit in the morning.
Usually 3 of the following:
Black or red grapes, mango, banana, granny smith apples, cantaloupe, papaya, sometimes lychees, if they are on special.
If I eat proper food I just fall asleep for a couple of hours.
This morning I made stuffed French toast with strawberry syrup.
I'm making blinis (Pancakes) with fruit (Blueberry, strawberry, pineapple, mango) with syrup and sour cream
It's comfort food that sets well when me belly be on a rumble

I made some cheese scones for brunch with some chutneys and some fresh fruit x

Went to the grocery store earlier to get some of the things I need to make the Mac & Cheese Balls. Peanut Oil isn't cheap, lol.

I had never done it before but the recipe for the Mac & Cheese Balls calls for it so when I pouring the peanut oil into a storage jar I saved a wee bit to try it out - for some reason Reese's Peanut Butter Cups came to mind - go figure, lol.
I usually use bacon grease and will continue to do so.

Well, I went on safari to find the Pimento Cheese Spread at the store this morning - it was not easily found. So I have all the ingredients for the Mac & Cheese Balls just have to get the energy to spend time making them.
As for breakfast, I deep fried mushrooms and broccoli, separately of course. Never had deep fried broccoli with roasted garlic before. I actually liked it and thought it would go good with beer drinking, lol - no beer yet :)

Lately its mainly eggs of some variation, omelets etc. Turkey or chicken sausage at times. Occasionally oatmeal or some sort of porridge with some fruit.
There are times though i make non traditional breakfast foods like salads, meat and cheese on bread, steamed veggies on rice with soy sauce etc.

I never really buy their donuts, but I've been drinking their coffee a lot lately, they added some girl scout cookie flavors and I'm seriously addicted to the peanut butter one! yum!
Made oatmeal [steel cut oats with milk] with cut-up apples cooked in. I usually eat some variation of this for breakfast, usually with yogurt on the side [which I skipped today].
I tend to eat light for breakfast. Smoothie bowls are a go for me, omelets too [I like spinach and mushrooms or bell peppers and onions, for example]. I've also microwaved tofu chunks with a chili sauce and then had sauteed garlic greens as a meal.
I used to have heavier breakfasts [like with meats and whatnot] but I usually exercise and/or work early in the morning and it just wasn't nice to my body.
Every morning I make plain waffles and vegan sausage on the side, and so yeah that is pretty much it.
I either make a package of oatmeal or fry up a couple eggs & grab a fruit cup. At least for now, while I don't have my own kitchen. Eventually....
Freshly baked cheese scones and chutney today :)

Cream of Wheat Ten Minute Cook Time with Blueberries, Strawberries, Raspberries, Blackberries, Peaches, etc., Dark Brown Sugar, Fat Free Milk cooked in a double boiler (prevents scorching). Any combination of fresh fruit that you like works well.
Difficult to find 10 Minute Cream of Wheat in a supermarket; apparently doesn't sell too well there as most seem to want instant. Taste the difference and you'll probably never go back to instant or the fast stuff. You can find it on the net for prices ranging from $5.60 - $25.00 for a 28 once box. Don't buy the $25.00 box because it's a rip-off. Search the net and you should be able to find it at the low price. If you can't, PM me and I'll send you the link.
I think I hear a grilled cheese sandwich with bacon calling to me
Since I'm a late to bed, late to rise sort of guy, I tend to skip breakfast altogether and go straight to lunch. But when I do have breakfast, it's usually a cheese omelette, scrambled eggs, or an over-medium egg with toast, sometimes fried ham or turkey bacon if I can afford it. Used to have more Pop-tarts and Eggos before I discovered my gluten sensitivity, so maybe it's a good thing I'm eating healthier things.
If I actually make something for breakfast it is usually Arepas (Venezuelan corn cakes stuffed with meats and cheeses).
I'm making some banana pancakes and fresh coffee and orange juice today

yay, I'm so happy! I FINALLY got to cook something in my new apartment! I made a pancake version of Samoa girl scout cookies and it was amazing! I toasted coconut for the first time and it came out great, and then I tried out my new non-stick sauce pan and used it for homemade caramel sauce and a chocolate ganache. and even the pancake itself was one of the best I've made, I think I have my buttermilk cakes perfected!

Good morning Maddie, 02 May 2018
Open up a restaurant here in Fort Worth and I'll be there for breakfast every morning. That looks very, very tasty; now, if I just had that sitting here on my desk I'd be in 7th Heaven.
Best Always,
Christine
I will toast exactly 2 pieces of bread with tofurky on it and then I will eat them. That is what I pretty much eat for breakfast.

Sounds yummy and good for you [emoji4]
Lately I've been eating bakery things from a market nearby and coffee shops. Usually with cheese, spinach, tomato, onion, or sweet potato. The dough they bake with is so good.. And pastries [emoji39]

Egg white scramble with cheddar cheese, chorizo, rainbow bell peppers and onion. Served with English muffin and 'butter', plus copious amounts of coffee.
Hi folks,
This morning I made a chorizo omelet with rainbow peppers, onion, spinach, tomato and cheddar cheese. Topped with hot salsa and more cheese. Blue berries for a fruit serving.

Cooking is definitely more of a pain in the butt at my new apartment because I don't have a dishwasher, but so far I've made 2 meals and knocked both of em out of the park!
for this one I made buttermilk biscuits from scratch, then I took one and split it and topped it with scrambled eggs, a sausage patty with melted cheddar, then I topped that with a cheddar cajun sausage gravy and then I topped the whole thing off with sauteed peppers and onions. Oh and cajun spiced home fries on the side! it may not be pretty, but it tasted great!

It looks and sound delicious Maddie.

Ended up skipping dinner last night so this morning I made a mushroom, onion and cheese omelette and a strip of bacon with some toast
I kept mine simple also VM. Omelet with ham, green bell pepper, onion, leftover asparagus and cheddar cheese. A side of maple sausage and orange slices.
Bon Appetit,

Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day and although it is quick during the work week i do like making blueberry pancakes on the weekend. My Fiance also loves when I make him Sausage Gravy and Biscuits.
ok, so I didn't make this, but I thought I'd post this here anyways, it was that good! I went to Baltimore this weekend and I decided to check out a place called Miss Shirley's for breakfast
I started out with some biscuits. They were drop biscuits with everything bagel seasoning and they came with sides of herbed cream cheese and jalapeno strawberry jam. They were so good, that jam was amazing!
(https://scontent-lga3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/33854850_150389889165954_8576654621840244736_n.jpg?_nc_cat=0&oh=c5725fc0d169821d679f0f117e4572e5&oe=5B79DA55)
Ok so I was going to get coffee, I really needed coffee, but then I saw this on the menu and it sounded so good, I needed this instead! Yes, I got a margarita at 9am! Don't worry, I only had one and I've never had a Pineapple Jalapeno one before! I decided to go for it because I had no idea if I'd ever be back here

and now onto the main course (and no, I didn't eat everything in these pics, I took some home lol)
Benne seed fried chicken with honey mustard aioli and cheddar waffles with pepadew butter. yum!!!

I made a bacon and egg waffle sandwich
Today was moderately decadent with OJ (token healthy), home made coffee cake and strong black coffee
Biscuits and Sausage Gravy. Don't forget the couple pinches of cayenne pepper.
Glazed pork tenderloin on a bed of soba noodles, fresh peppers, snow peas and green onions. Sesame seed oil, soy and honey dressing.
The tenderloin was glazed and roasted with the same dressing
I had overnight oats made with coconut milk for breakfast today. Yesterday though we made huevos rancheros :) x

Hi Molly, 29 May 2018
I love cooked oats, the old fashion variety. What are "Overnight Oats?"
My guess is you place the dry oats in a pot of hot water and let them soak overnight; in the morning they should be ready to eat.
So rural Mexico has spread its tentacles across the pond and delivered Huevos Rancheros. Hope they also supplied you with their other great dishes. Lived there for two years and enjoyed the people, food and culture.
Thank you in advance.
Best Always, Love,
Christine

Hi Christine
That's exactly it! I use three tablespoons of oats to nine tablespoons of milk and soak overnight! (You just reminded to make tomorrow morning's!) I don't cook them at all. I top them with whatever fruit I have left over.
My favourite is enchiladas on a cold night. Lots of chilli and lots of sauce. Mmm. I'm getting very hungry again just thinking of them! How wonderful to have lived there, my partner worked there for a couple of weeks and said the food was the most amazing thing.
Love
Molly xx

Buy a 6 cup crockpot and Old Fashion Rolled Oats though you can use steel cut oat if it's all you have. Put the oats and water in the crock pot the night before and and set the crock pot to low. Breakfast will be ready for you in the morning when your ready. I think they may even make a smaller crock pot for single servings but you can make two cups in a 6 cup crock pot.
The texture is a bit different as it becomes a bit more paste like and you don't get the occasional dry flake.

Hi Dena, 30 May 2018
I usually add steel cut oats to my rolled oats if I have some. I'll give your method a try next time I decide to have oats for breakfast. I don't really cook my oats, just bring 2.5 cups of water to a boil, add 1.5 cups of oats, stir until it starts to boil again then remove from the heat, cover with the pot lid and let sit for 45 - 60 minutes. Makes two huge bowl of oat meal, which is what I eat for breakfast. Yes I eat both bowls. I usually have raisins and blueberries in it and other fresh fruit when available.
I think my crockpot is a ten gallon gas can. I really don't remember what size it is. Bought it two years ago and still haven't taken it out of the box. I have stuff I bought 20 years ago that is still in the bag I brought it home in. Yes, I'm a nut case.... a, I used to be; they're gone now. I'll rephrase that: Yes, I'm a nutless case.
Best Always, Love,

Good morning folks,
Today I tried something different. I had some ground chorizo I wanted to use up so into a fry pan it went. As it was browning I broke it up and added diced orange and red bell peppers and green onion. Once the chorizo was done I added a good sized spoonful (1/4 to 1/3 cup) of sour cream, incorporating it with the mix as a sauce. I then added about half a cup of Mexican blend cheese, letting it melt as I blended it in with the sour cream, making a thick cheesy sour cream sauce. I the fried 2 eggs sunny side up. I first plated the chorizo and then put the eggs on top.
I thought it came out surprisingly good. Pictures below as always.
Bon Appetit,
Laurie
P.S. I think that by adding a bit more sour cream, diced tomato and some chopped cilantro, it would make a pretty good dip.

Looks like grub I could cotton to
Choriqueso w/ vegetables!
This morning I made sweet crepes and then I made some savory ones for lunch, but since we don't have a lunch thread and since it was pretty breakfasty anyways I'll just post them both here!
Cherry cheesecake crepes:
I had some leftover filling from a pie that I made recently, so I used it. I've made these before with just filling and cream cheese but I felt like something was missing, so I sweetened the cream cheese with some sugar and vanilla and it made all the difference, so good!

Then for lunch I melted some swiss cheese on top of some ham that I smoked a couple weeks ago, and I put that on top of some scrambled eggs. Then I wrapped it all up and drizzled it with some chipotle mayo. This was soooo good, I wanna make it more often!

This morning I made a Denver omelet casserole. I actually made it yesterday and baked it this morning. A traditional Denver omelet is made with both ham and lots of bell peppers. I used sausage instead of ham and my brother hates bell peppers so I left those out and used mushrooms and extra onions. But I don't know why I bother trying to make any type of egg dish taste good. My brother will put ketchup on any kind of scrambled eggs or omelet and worse yet, Tristan will put Vegemite on his.😧 😖😵

How's my Julia doing? I love Denver omelettes. No ketchup needed, but I will take a side order of bacon with it.

I'm not very big on breakfast, well, I mean I keep it fast and simple. A small hand made thick flour tortilla heated on the stove, a very light dash of butter, 2 table spoons of pico de gallo, 2 to 3 table spoons of medium (some times hot) Pace Picante sauce. a large pinch of Jack cheese, warm it in the microwave for 20 seconds and yummy.
I'm a cheese nut. I put cheese on everything and anything. Rarely Cheddar cheese but lots of Jack, Mozzarella, Parmesan, and most other white cheeses. I love Cheddar but I've herd white cheeses are a little less artery clogging than yellow cheese?
Happy Birthday Maddie!

Ketchup is pretty heavy handed as far as a toping. You might try having them use Salsa instead. If I make a omelet with cheese I would put Salsa on it. If it's a more complex omelet like your Denver omelet, no Salsa and just enjoy the flavor that's there.
There are very few things I'll use ketchup on but can't think of any of them at the moment
I also like salsa for egg dishes and I use mustard on french fries and hash browns
Oh... I use ketchup to make the cocktail sauce for shrimp cocktail ;D
BEC SPK. That's where I use ketchup with eggs. It's a Long Island thing.

I won't use ketchup when I make my own, I just use whatever bread I have around and tend to dip mine in a bowl of Marinara Sauce ;D
Hi Folks,
My offering for today is just a one egg scramble with chorizo, green bell pepper, onion, and crimini mushroom. The ground chorizo was browned first then removed from the pan. I then sauteed the sliced mushroom in butter, salt, and pepper using the same pan until they were starting to change color color then added the diced green pepper and onion only cooking until the onion and pepper were warmed. I then removed the mushroom/onion/pepper from the pan. I then cracked one egg into the pan , added salt and pepper a a liberal dose of Smokey Chipotle Tobasco sauce and scrambled it. Once scrambled I returned the choriz and mushroom/onion/pepper back to the pan to re warm everything and mix it together. I then plated it on a 7 inch plate and added a sprinkling of Mexican blend shredded cheese.
Bon Appettit,
Laurie

Yeah, but it's on a real kaiser roll, or even a real bagel, not some crappy sourdough roll. When I moved west of the Mississippi, every bread seemed to be sourdough. Even Italian bread.

Oh vegemite is all too real unfortunately. There are 2 big jars of it in my kitchen. You would think the USA would be a safe haven from such a nasty condiment but no. I don't know where she gets it but Tristan's mom always brings him a jar of it when his starts getting empty. I tried to get my dad to tell Tristan vegemite had been made illegal in the USA and that if he didn't throw away all his vegemite immediately he would have to arrest him for possession. Sigh...but he wouldn't do it. You would think having a cop as a dad would be at least a little fun but no. My dad won't arrest people I don't like just because I don't like them and he won't let me drive his police cruiser when I go shopping so I can run red lights and zip through traffic. He's just no fun at all.
Didn't you hear Julia?
The Food and Drug Administration has just issued a warning on Vegemite. It has been found to contain not only toxic chemicals but is full of carcinogens link to stomach and liver cancers. They are recommending tossing out any that you may have purchased withing the last 2 years.
Hugs,
Laurie
Would I fib?
There you go Julia! As Laurie put it, Vegemite is not just bad, It's bad for you. Tell them that.
Getting back to breakfast, This morning I cooked a 3 egg omelette with black pepper, 4 slices of bacon, hash browns with black pepper, chopped up some an onion, chopped up 1 large jalapeno with seeds, put it all on a large flour tortilla, rolled it into a very large burrito, put it on a plate with some tortilla chips on the side, poured enchilada sauce over everything (including the chips), added mass quantities of Jack cheese ;D, warmed it in the microwave to melt the cheese and finally added a little sour cream. Oh, and some more black pepper before the cheese.
There is absolutely no way I could ever eat all that in one sitting so I will be having enchilada style breakfast burrito leftovers for the next 2 to 3 mornings.
Bon appetit!
Vegemite is kinda like a song that is bad for your radio, someone might like it but that someone isn't you :D
I bought a 10 inch pan so I could make omlettes with just two eggs. I've scale recipes down all the time. One trick is to measure dry ingredients like flour with a scale. Much less hassle than sifting it like I was taught in school in the 1970s!
But, I usually scramble my eggs. I like them nicely browned and slightly dry, cooked in lots of butter. Its been years since there has been a stick of margarine in this house!
I also cook pancakes, waffles, and french toast. I use the microwave to heat up a combination of butter and pure maple syrup. If I have time I'll brown some Canadian bacon. I can cook regular bacon and use up the fat later in the day but usually I don't do that.
A little while ago I came up with an idea for deep fried pancakes and last week I finally got around to trying them and they were so good! They were pretty much funnel cakes in a different shape, and I think that I actually liked these better than funnel cakes. I used my mom's homemade strawberry jam on them and I had some creamcheese frosting that I wanted to use up, and I thought a chocolate ganache would be good on these so I went with it, yum!

Oh wow, we have the same kind of cast iron skillet and spatula ;D
I have a guitar and a keyboard. We should start a band! :angel:
Snickers pancakes! I took my standard buttermilk pancakes and cut them into rectangles to mimic a candy bar, then I topped the bottom one with a homemade nougat substitute, peanuts, and homemade caramel sauce. then I put on a top pancake and drizzled the whole thing with chocolate ganache. Then I made a peanut butter chocolate caramel coffee

A little while ago I came up with an idea for deep fried pancakes and last week I finally got around to trying them and they were so good! They were pretty much funnel cakes in a different shape, and I think that I actually liked these better than funnel cakes. I used my mom's homemade strawberry jam on them and I had some creamcheese frosting that I wanted to use up, and I thought a chocolate ganache would be good on these so I went with it, yum!

Looks yummy!
This morning I made blueberry waffles and sausage links. You would think waffles alone would be enough but Tyler came into the kitchen this morning and said " sausages would be really good with waffles ". So I made sausage too.

That looks awesome. I will have to try that.

OMG, those look sooo good. I would try some but Tyler, Tristan and my dad don't eat healthy as it is. All three of them work out regularly but even so there is cholesterol to think about. My dad is almost 40 so I wouldn't want to serve him a deep fried heart attack on a plate.
I only know how to make bagels and scrambled eggs. But I'm 15 so I don't know a whole lot about cooking 😅
I do love me some pancakes tho

honestly, they were kind of a pain lol. they took a while to put together and they got cold, so I had to throw them in the microwave... twice! Everything was homemade, and I still don't have a good caramel sauce recipe yet. it tasted fine and when it was warm the texture was great, but when it cools down (and it cools down fast) it gets clumpy and the sugar crystalizes and the texture gets gross. Then when I went to do the ganache things went downhill... I had a blowout in my pastry bag and made a huge mess and I wanted to cry! Next time I might just buy caramel and chocolate from the store, and I'm not gunna cut the pancakes into rectangles again.
oh, and as for the deep fried pancakes, they were really good but I felt ashamed eating them haha, it was just too much! I think I went overboard on the toppings, I definitely want to try them again though, I might just put some strawberry jam in the middle and then cover them in powdered sugar and call them my "jelly donut pancakes". My friend and I have been talking about doing a restaurant some day so I've been coming up with a lot of ideas. And there's a coffee company that has all sorts of cool flavors and I'm going to order a sample pack from them soon and make some cool dishes that pair with them, I'll probably start doing those in a couple weeks :)

I'll try to find some easy beginners recipes for you.
Daw~ Thank you~!
I know this looks like a big breakfast, but I came nowhere near finishing it lol
I decided to go spicy this weekend >:-) >:-) >:-)
First up we have a fried chicken sandwich. I coated the chicken in an extra spicy seasoning, chilled it, then I did a spicy buttermilk batter and fried it. it had some nice kick but it could have been spicier lol. I did homemade biscuits for it and topped the chicken with sharp cheddar, pepper jelly, bacon, and jalapeno honey butter. The flavors were great, the cheddar and the pepper jelly kinda fought each other a bit but worked out really well! Oh and for a side I cut up some baked potatoes, tossed them in a frying pan, then deep fried them for a minute and tossed them in the same spicy seasoning as the chicken. if you've ever had red hot potato chips, that's kinda what I was going for, they were great!
(https://scontent-ort2-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/38936109_235631810641761_8640858902537175040_n.jpg?_nc_cat=0&oh=4c68e2819c5d2cb7706e35032fde5964&oe=5BC5B010)
and for dessert we have.... bourbon jalapeno pineapple upside down pancakes! I was amazed at how well all of those flavors worked together! I soaked the pineapple in bourbon and then topped it with brown sugar, then I put it in the frying pan with some butter and a jalapeno slice in the middle and then poured the pancake batter over it, yum!

Just coffee and two pieces of buttered toast with a sprinkle of cinnamon on them for me thank you!. I need to buy more Spun Honey and peanut butter.
Just coffee, eggs, and ham.
Chrissy
So many tasty looking dishes in this thread - I think I gained weight just reading through it!
I love cooking but I don't have as much time and energy for it as I used to. I also used to bake a lot, but I've cut way back as that wasn't so good for my waistline...
I know might make a few 'food enemies' over this, but I often eat things other than 'breakfast food' for breakfast. I usually don't like heavy food in the morning, I don't really like bacon or ham (though some kinds of sausage are fine), and I also have a mild wheat and barley allergy and a much worse oat allergy :( Somehow rye is fine though ???
I do make scrambled eggs fairly often, with various kinds of mix-ins and toppings. Some of my more regular additions are:
Spinach or chard and feta (sometimes with onions, mushrooms, or lemon juice)
Tomatoes, arugula, black pepper, and pecorino (romano or toscano, whichever I have handy)
Garlic, onions, black pepper, and yogurt or sour cream (and sometimes a little cheese)
Salsa verde (and less often salsa roja or salsa negra)
Grilled asparagus and mushrooms (sometimes with shrimp or crab)
I also make a sort of grain-free porridge from ground flax and chia seeds + whatever I feel like adding for the day.
Other things I commonly eat for breakfast are salads, slaw, cooked vegetables, and light leftover soups (anything that's mostly clear stock or broth and some vegetables and maybe a little meat). I'm especially fond of slaw with a vinegar or fruit-based dressing (usually mango, lime, or passion fruit) and a bit of fish or shrimp.
I do occasionally include some less healthy options though:
Various types of sausage
Fried potatoes, sweet potatoes, or plantains
Fried apples, pears, peaches, or cherries
Pancakes (made from corn, buckwheat, or coconut flour)
Rice pudding (homemade, usually dairy-free)
Baked goods (homemade or store bought), usually gluten free, but sometimes I just want wheat and I'm willing to pay the price!
so I bought a sample pack of coffee flavors from this company that does some interesting stuff, and I decided to make food to go along with each flavor. I'm going to be doing one flavor per weekend for the next month or so, and first up was Maple Bacon. I made maple bacon bourbon brown sugar sticky buns!
also, I started a new Instagram account for my food! A friend and I have been talking a lot lately about doing a restaurant some day, and since I've been really creative lately I wanted to start an account to kind of generate buzz. so please follow my new account, @lookwhatmaddiemade

@Maddie86Dear Maddie:
Mmm,mmm, mmm, your maple sticky buns look very tasty... and of course anything with bacon is good. I love the topping... just bacon bits? or maybe cinnamon?
I also like your coffee mug with the pig-face.
Thanks for sharing your appetizing looking photo.
Hugs,
Danielle
My favorite breakfast treat is kind of a variation of french toast...
Breakfast for my special friends, I make a Monte-Christo sandwich. It is a variation of a toasted cheese sandwich with ham or bacon, cheese, and perhaps a cooked egg inside. It can also be dipped in egg batter and pan cooked like french toast. I prefer to eat it topped with maple syrup or jelly.

thanks for your compliments! your breakfast looks great too! i actually have a special french toast planned for next weekend!
oh and for the bacon I just baked some bacon strips that I sprinkled maple sugar on, then I just chopped them up really fine
WowWee! Danielle and Maddie!!! Both of those dishes look sooooo delicious. Maybe I'll do something like for dinner. I think for now, I'll just make a Tuna Melt with mild cheddar and bacon. Gota have the bacon ;D. BTW, I love your new avatar Danielle.

I made cinnamon rolls this morning. Well actually I made them yesterday and baked them this morning.
carrot cake pancakes! I did pancake batter with applesauce and carrot and brown sugar and then seasoned it with cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and clove. adding some homemade cream cheese frosting and toasted walnuts put it over the top, omg!

aw, thanks for the compliments everyone! I've been super creative lately, ever since a friend and I started talking about opening a place some day I've just been coming up with idea after idea, I have some cool stuff planned out for down the road a bit
today's breakfast took all day yesterday to make! I tend to over complicate things lol, I made my own freaking brioche! I did key lime pie french toast with it... I snuck a little coconut extract into the eggwash and I breaded the brioche in graham cracker crumbs before cooking. then I put a homemade key lime pudding in between the french toast and topped the dish with a homemade honey almond whipped cream, some toasted coconut, and a slice of key lime that I brulee'd

My dad left at the crack of dawn to go fishing with my grandpa so I made him bacon and eggs before he left. Tristan and Tyler are still sleeping of course. Now where did I put that air horn?

That's amazing Maddie. Do you cook breakfast for other people too or is it just you? If I didn't have to cook breakfast for the guys I would be totally satisfied with a green smoothie for breakfast.

That's amazing Maddie. Do you cook breakfast for other people too or is it just you? If I didn't have to cook breakfast for the guys I would be totally satisfied with a green smoothie for breakfast.
thanks! I just cook for me, but a lot of times I'll have leftovers that I'll either eat later in the week or I'll give them away to friends. This morning I went for a walk with a friend and I gave her a chunk of brioche and then I stopped in to visit another friend after that and I gave her a piece too... then she gave me a jar of homemade salsa, yay! I've always been a big eater, but during the week I just stick to cereal, so I like to get creative on the weekends

Oh ya Maddie! This reminds me I still want to try my luck at baking a loaf of Italian sausage cheese bread. I guess you can have that for breakfast too?
yum, that sounds really good!
I stirred up some crushed pineapple, sweetened coconut, and semi sweet mini chocolate chips in some ricotta and made a few cannolis ;D
Something simple and fast; a light French toast with blueberry compote. The batter is egg white and almond milk. (Stop making that face,
@Laurie ! You ate it with no complaints when I fed it to you!)

But was it as good as my potato chips yesterday?
Oh yeah, I am such a fancy chef. Yeah, right.
I can make eggs, toast, ham, and Canadian bacon. Sometimes the hash browns, but they come out of that big box that looks like a paper gallon milk jug of yesteryear. It is easy to make them.
Good enough for me. Sometimes I try to make pancakes. Usually some I have to throw away. They get clumpy or fall apart. All well.
Laurie, Alaskan Danielle, Julia, Maddie, and Michelle are some of the expert chefs here!
Chrissy
Biscuits and gravy with hash browns
Ham and eggs
A Pico De Gallo soft taco. An extra thick taco size flower tortilla heated on the stove, Pico De Gallo, Pace Picante sauce and jack cheese. Eat it like a soft taco.
Pancakes, although I frequently botch up one in a batch.

Two cinnamon and raisin English muffins and coffee.
Does putting together a fruit bowl count as preparing? :)
I can pull-off a little bit of breakfast cooking. Not as much as Laurie, of course. Her food looks soooo good.
Chrissy
I had some leftover ribeye steak from yesterday evening, so I made steak and eggs for breakfast today. I simply had to reheat the steak and cook the eggs. It was all good. Nothing fancy. :)
Chrissy
more brunch than breaky but fried some bacon then did scrambled eggs in same pan . Hot buttered toast to go with it, seeded batch loaf.
This morning I made waffles and sausage links.
Porridge and banana :(

It is so very nice to see you posting again on the various threads. I had always had looked forward to reading your food related postings.... and now I have that joy again of being able to look forward to more...
Hugs, well wishes, and welcome back.
Danielle
Homemade Biscuits and Andouille Sausage Gravy with Fresh Squeezed Orange Juice and Other assorted fruits on the side...
Made that for the fam on Sun...
Because other than that, on weekdays, I'm usually tossing Eggos in the toaster and fighting with my four year old daughter to get up and dressed for pre-school... :-|
I got a square pan for making rolled Japanese omlets. It stays warm longer. I pay the oil bill so the house gets a bit cool in the winter.
Good to see you again Julia :icon_chick:
This morning I had a piece of apple crumb pie from last night's New Years party ;D
Hard boiled eggs.
Yes, not very impressive, I know.

Aww thank you.😊
It was just my dad for breakfast this morning. I made him an omelet with onions, peppers, mushrooms and cheese and some bacon on the side.
Good morning folks,
This morning it made a blueberry, raspberry, pineapple compote for flavoring my plain Greek yogurt. Of course I couldn't leave it at that, so, I also made chorizo, mushroom, egg, and cheese breakfast tacos. Since chorizo is a bit mild I decided to kick it up a notch or two by crushing up some chiltepin peppers, a friend in Colorado was nice enough to send me. Thank you Jessica Rose. Chiltepin peppers are ummmmm, lets just say on the spicy side. "Scoville heat units: 50,000 – 100,000 , Jalapeño reference point: 6 to 40 times hotter" Anyway they spice things up a bit.
Below are my pics of the finished products and their prep.
Bon Appetit,
Laurie

Thank you Chrissy. As you can see in the finished product I cooked the compote some more until it had the consistency of a jam. It was delicious in my yogurt parfait. I also enjoyed my spicy chorizo/mushroom/scrambled egg tacos. I like spicy and those chiltepin peppers do the trick. They are up in the neighborhood of a habanero pepper. I used more than was necessary so I did a good job of warming my mouth up. Yet they did not over power the flavors.
Hugs,
Laurie
This morning I ate the other half of the grapefruit and a KIND dark chocolate nuts and spices bar
(https://pics.drugstore.com/prodimg/433072/900.jpg)
I can make a great hard boiled egg. :) Plus, sometimes two. :) :)
I also frequently prepare a great bowl of cereal from the box and by using milk. It is all in choosing the right cereal and bowl! :)
Chrissy
It all depends on my mood. sometimes
0) oatmeal
1) over-easy eggs and bagel or toast
2) scrambled eggs with a bagel or toast.
3) pancakes
4) french toast
5) omelets with whatever ingredients
6) sausage with biscuits and gravy
7) bacon - usually a bacon wrap with avocado, tomatoes, and ranch
Hash browns are often included with almost any breakfast when appropriate.
If i'm feeling really lazy I have been known to bake cinnamon rolls with the icing.
Today was coffee, cherry turnover, bite size mounds and a pineapple cottage cheese lettuce wrap
coffee is mandatory every day.

Coffee, Juice, and a breakfast burrito made of bacon, eggs, cheese, hash browns, mushrooms and onions ;D
French Toast today
I cook bacon and eggs almost every morning. It's a quick, inexpensive, high-protein meal that gives me the fuel I need to start the day. Being a southern USA girl, I sometimes add grits with a slab of butter melted in. I have one breakfast dish I make if I have house guests or a social thing at breakfast time. It's a sausage, egg and cheese casserole with a hash brown crust.
I keep it simple for breakfast. Coffee and English Muffin or cereal (like Shredded Wheat).

Hi VM, 01 February 2019
What's in the glass? For sure, it's homemade "Grape" juice. I want some.
Your handle, "VM," reminds me of where I worked 63 years ago. We sold and serviced VM stereos and tape decks. Still have one of their tape decks from 1956. It, unlike me, functions as well as it used to.

That cherry pomegranate juice is dangerously tasty.
And if I remember correctly they don't treat it with potassium sorbate or other stuff so you could ferment it if you feel the urge.

Hi Folks, 10 February 2019
Today's B-fast was a bit different than usual; it started with Quaker Old Fashioned Oats, soaked not fully cooked. Two cups of water and about 1/4 cup of raisins in a 1 1/2 quart pan. Put on the burner, when it starts to boil dump in one cup of the old fashioned oats. Stir until boiling resumes, when a foam head forms, put the lid on and immediately remove from the heat. Let the oats rest for about 30 to 45 minutes or longer if desired. Once rested, stir the oats and raisins to evenly distribute them. I dish out one half the pot into a large bowl, add some milk and enjoy them.
Next up was a bowl of Baked Beans I made using Dena's family recipe. Dena taught me how to make delicious baked beans in a crock pot. Beans, Beans the ......... beans to die for.
Next course was a slice of Pizza from Papa Murphy's Take and Bake. Bought it yesterday, baked it and had half of it for supper last night, Froze the three remaining slices and had one for breakfast. Used Dena's method for reheating frozen pizza. Popped the pizza in the Nuclear oven for 30 seconds then popped it into the 350° preheated oven and preheated heavy SS pizza pan. Left it in the oven 8 minutes and sat down and finished my third main course B-fast. This slice of Pizza was better than it was yesterday, the crust was perfecto.
Not to be forgotten was desert, a four pack of frozen SnackWells Vanilla Creme Sandwich Cookies washed down with a large mug of Swiss Miss Dark Chocolate Sensation Hot Cocoa. Felt pretty good after this meal; could hardly wait for lunch to get here.
To tell you the truth, the best part of my meal was the Baked Beans. The problem was, I had them for supper last night and didn't leave as much for B-fast as I should have.
Thank You Dena Dear for teaching me how to cook those wonderful beans and a number of other delicious recipes, Your famous chili readily comes to mind, which I'll probably have for lunch tomorrow.
Thank You Dena Dear for being the Love of My Life.
Best Always, Love
Christine
I enjoy cooking breakfast on my days off. Typically I make a small omelet using ham & cheese. At times I'll add mushrooms.
I recently found a recipe for cabbage "hash browns". The article exclaimed that the taste was nearly indistinguishable from potato hash browns. Being both curious and skeptical I catalogued the recipe idea in my brain. While at Trader Joe's I found a bag of shredded cabbage, destiny!
Since I cook for one I made just half a batch. Cooked it as one patty in an 8" skillet. Although the recipe did not call for it I covered the pan for a portion of the cooking time to ensure the cabbage softened sufficiently.
My oh my, it was delicious!
I like my hash browns with ketchup so I tried some on these too. It was good, I can imagine that a bit of hot sauce or sriracha would be good too. It is definitely going into my rotation. (I have 1/2 leftover so I'll see how reheats tomorrow)

Banana Pancakes: Incredibly easy
Blender, large skillet or griddle
1 banana
1 egg
2 tbsp rolled oats (oatmeal)
1/4 tsp baking powder
Start the pan or griddle heating. Put a banana, two tablespoons of rolled oats, one egg, 1/4 tsp baking powder in the blender. Blend, pour cakes into hot pan...

I made thin pancakes, put sliced bananas in a vanilla sauce in the middle and then rolled them up.
my favorite Breakfast thing that I like to make is French Toast...
Usually served along with some type of link or patty sausage or Kielbasa.... or perhaps a ham slice or some bacon.

I like your recipe that you shared, I will very soon have to try making your special French Toast... perhaps over the next weekend.
I love the sweetness of Challah Bread and it is so rich an tasty and of course
the addition of Grand Marnier ... but only ONE TEASPOON ??? Hugs and well wishes,

Bacon and egg breakfast sandwich on grilled asiago red pepper bread (https://i.imgur.com/dVFCKlU.jpg?1) ;D
I have two main breakfasts...
1) Cold cereal or hot cereal if it's winter.
2) 2 pieces of toast + 1 or 2 soft-boiled eggs.
That covers 98% of mornings. Maybe once a month, especially if I'm hungry because I didn't have a big dinner the night before, I'll make either pancakes or french toast (especially if I have old bread to use) if I have a sweet hankering, or a fancy omelette. Once a year, I'll make a batch of hash if I have some leftover meat I have to use. For instance, I often make corned beef hash after St. Patrick's Day. And if I have guests over, I usually make a batch of muffins...easy and always popular.
This morning I made omelets filled with carmalized onions, sausage, mushrooms and goat cheese.

Oooh, now that I could definitely get into.
This morning I made waffles with link sausage.
My older southern lady also told me chicken and waffles are big in the south. She said you put fried chicken on top of waffles and then pour syrup over all of it. I love trying new recipies and cooking new dishes but I just can't imagine this one. It actually sounds kind of icky! Has anyone had it before??
Fried chicken and waffles is a specialty of a local restaurant. I've had it a couple times in the last year.
It does sound strange at first but 10-1 your boys are going to like it ;D

You are probably right about that. They do love waffles and the love fried chicken so I can see them liking them with each other.
I've had chicken and waffles a few times and it's much better than it sounds like at first. I really enjoy it.
Coffee. That is all. :laugh:

During the week I pack breakfast to go to the office, almost always overnight oats with a little fruit mixed in. When working from home, its usually hot oatmeal sometimes grits or once in a while yogurt and fruit.
Weekends vary-- eggs, pancakes, biscuits all are in the mix. Rarely I'll do a bagel. Even rarer I'll use up a potato for hash browns with my eggs. I've kinda noodled around to get decent 'cooking for one' recipes, scratch biscuits and pancakes are not hard. They freeze well too.
Oh yeah.. and coffee. I use pour over coffee. Technically a bodum pitcher with hario filters. I am counter space limited so it works for me.
~Jenn
Porridge for starters then kippers tomorrow. Had porridge & scrambled eggs on potato cakes today (had to use the potato cakes as sell by date was near).
I usually like a full English, Cumberland or Lincolnshire sausage, smoled bacon, fried egg, fried bread, black pudding & brown sauce but I need to lose weight again
These are just some of the breakfasts I cook, it does not mean I eat all of them.
Porridge.
Scrambled eggs and crisply streaky bacon with herb fried tomato.
Scrambled eggs with pancetta mix.
Full English inc black pub.
Half English, everything without the meat.
Omelette with fillings.
Hugs

oats and milk ,2mins in the micro then some blueberries. Today I did sausage ,bacon and scrambled eggs with dry toast using the air fryer and micro.
A favorite is biscuits and gravy! I make killer gravy. Sometimes accompanied by fruit, scrambled eggs, etc. But the best part is the sausage gravy over the toast of choice. I use double cream (heavy), sausage of choice and gluten free flour, salt and pepper. Oh, My, Gosh!
Oh, i follow with a biscuit with butter and orange marmalade.
Do Cinnamon Frosted Pop Tarts in a toaster count as cooking? For decades, that was my breakfast. I do a little better now, I usually warm up a large blueberry muffin in the microwave.
Love always -- Jessica Rose
I've never been much of a fan of breakfast in the past, but lately, I love a good 2 egg omelette for breakfast. So, I took the plunge and decided to try powdered eggs (Augason Farms). They're not as good as fresh eggs, and don't cook quite the same, but they're not bad. The trick is to add a bit of powdered milk to the mix. Audason Farms powdered eggs are basically a 1-part powder to 1-part water ratio. 5 tablespoons of egg powder equals roughly 2 whole eggs.
I mix 5 tablespoons of egg powder with 5 tablespoons of water, then add one tablespoon of Carnation powdered milk. Mix it up good and let it rehydrate for a few minutes while I prep the frying pan. Add some real bacon pieces, a dash of onion powder and cheese, serve with Pace Picante sauce and, wella, bon appetit!
The nice thing about powdered eggs is, they keep for several years, use them for baking and you'll never know the difference, and they're fat free. YAY!!!
Hugs!

Except for when I have to travel for work, I do most of the cooking around our house. That includes breakfast. The kids almost always want scrambled eggs and toast, and I have made it so many hundreds of times I could do it in my sleep. Occasionally I will do something different, like pancakes or French toast.

On days I go into the office, I like overnight oats with a little fruit. Or yogurt.
Weekends are hot breakfast! eggs, hash browns. Once in a while corn meal pancakes n syrup (especially before some cycling)
~Jenn
My omelette is 3 eggs seasoned with salt and pepper according to the filling so as not to over salt. Cooked in olive oil. The main filling is extra mature cheese.
I do however modify the cooking if onion is also added. Then I cook the onion in butter first until soft, then pour on the egg. Either way I cook until the top is near to setting before adding lots of cheese. Wait until cheese has melted and top has cooked fold and serve.
This is my way of doing, without flipping. K hangs the pan under a grill to finish off the top.
