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!
