Breakfast thoughts
Wow! It the first day of March. Where have the first two months of 2007 gone already?
As I was fixing my breakfast this morning, I started thinking: I really only have a handful of weekday breakfast routines. This morning, I'm having two slices of raisin toast with cream cheese, a sausage patty and some fresh strawberries with Splenda. It's quick and easy to prepare, and tasty. Other mornings, I may have a bowl of cornflakes with sliced banana and a small yogurt; or an egg (scrambled or fried) with a slice of toast and a handful of grapes (or some other fruit I may have in the fridge). Those are usually the rotation.
On occassion, I'll throw in a bowl of oatmeal instead of cold cereal, or like yesterday, I'll break the yoke on the egg and throw it on two slices of bread along with some cheese and a couple slices of deli ham. Last week, I had a couple of tortillas left over from our Fat Tuesday dinner at the Mexican restaurant. I scrambled some eggs and put them on the tortilla with some cheese and salsa. Those were really yummy. Sometimes, when both John and I have the morning off (which happens so rarely), I'll fix biscuits and gravy, or pancakes and bacon, but usually, it's the same few things rotated.
Do you eat breakfast, and what do you normally have for breakfast?

I usually have a cup of oatmeal and 2 ounces of some form of protein during the week. On the weekends, I have one "bad" breakfast consisting of bacon, eggs, etc. Sometimes I have yogurt.
David Beckham is a soccer super-star. And Preston's allergies are definitely looking better with the cat (not puppy) gone. Thanks for asking.
You are creative and have so much more variety in your breakfast than I do! I'm trying to consistently eat breakfast, because I know it helps me not be so hungry as the day progresses. I mostly eat oatmeal. If I'm home, I might have grapefruit, or occasionally an egg, French toast, or pancakes. Most of the time, though, it's hot tea and oatmeal!
Usually a bowl of Cheerios with 2% milk. When I splurge on myself it's eggs over easy, biscuits and bacon.
A good "change of pace" is called a "Birds' Nest" ; Take a piece of bread and using a biscuit cutter, cut out the center of the bread. Butter the bread on both sides and put it in the skillet. Put one raw egg in the cut-out center of the bread and fry it. When the 1st side is toasted, flip it over and finish frying the egg & toast together. (Don't forget to toast the circle cut-out piece from the toast too). Your choice as to how "hard" you want your egg fried. When you're done you have Toast & Egg in one dish and the small toasted "cut out" piece, makes a nice "Top" for the Egg.
