What did you have for breakfast thread?

Toast4532 · 26-08-2012 1:52pm #1

Since we have a 'Here's what I had for dinner' thread and a 'here's what I had for lunch thread', I thought we could have a breakfast thread too.

I tend to have porridge, or toast or some cereal for breakfast, but would like to try other things too. I suppose I got into a habit/routine, and now I'm looking to try something else.

Half a tub of Glenisk vanilla yogurt, raw oats and brown linseed, mixed up with some fruit (mandarins or berries). I have this every morning and I love it.

joanofarc · 26-08-2012 4:40pm

Strong coffee and homemade pancakes with raspberry jam:D Heaven!

The Hill Billy · 26-08-2012 4:44pm

A cup of Lyons Kenya blend tea, two slices of brown toast & two of my neighbour's organic hen's eggs soft-boiled.

christmas2012 · 26-08-2012 4:51pm

had blueberry and porridge oats,last breakfast i had was fruit:strawberries,nectarines(all sliced)grapes,and kiwi,with rachael allens vanilla yoghurt and kelkin granola oats spread on top,with oj,the other breakfast i had was two boiled eggs and two slices of melon,with smoothie,another breakfast of mine would be scrambled egg or omlette with two slices of brown bread toast with butter and a large mug of coffee - i used to go for the full fat full irish breakfasts but ive scaled back recently,and ive gotten used to it,with tasty varities, so a big breakfast doesnt do it for me anymore thankfully,and ive lost a stone recently so its working well!

would you let me know where you're buying the Kenya blend? My favourite tea but haven't been able to find it for the past six months. Doubling up on the Lyon's regular tea isn't quite the same!!

Pa Dee · 26-08-2012 5:01pm

Ribeye steak rare. 3 eggs over easy. Hash brown. Toast. Pot of strong coffee.

Darkginger · 26-08-2012 5:12pm

2 eggs, scrambled with cream and butter, 6 strips Lidl's finest (ha!) streaky bacon, grilled, 4 mushrooms, sliced, cooked in butter. Gotta love a low carb diet

TheFlamingo · 26-08-2012 5:20pm

This is where I go for my breakfast inspiration: http://bkfst.tumblr.com/

My favourite meal of the day, I don't understand people who skip it!

christmas2012 · 26-08-2012 5:23pm

if i was feeling a little more peckish for breakfast what a great filler is tuna nicose salad with mixed beans goes lovely with a little dressing..

Quorum · 26-08-2012 5:33pm

I can sum up my breakfast in one post:

Monday-Friday: (Proper!) greek yoghurt with a teaspoon of golden syrup, cup of tea

Saturday, Sunday: EGGS!!!! Tea.

UrbanSea · 26-08-2012 7:53pm

Tub of ben and jerry's phish food and heated up chocolate cake

SuperValu in Skerries. I've no idea when Mrs Billy bought them though. Will ask if they are still available.

im licking my lips now thinking about that ,dont make me deviate my course :eek:

EZ24GET · 27-08-2012 12:29am

Had big coffee and 2 slices 12 grain bread with butter and a thin coating of elderberry jelly. I love the sweet tang of the jelly and the saltiness of the butter. I am always tempted to have even more. The other day I had 2 over easy eggs and two sausage patties to go with this, but ended up giving the dog my sausage patties - he begs- and I broke off pieces to give him until it was all gone. He got left over egg too.:)and still I think of him as the "poor little thing"
He has things a lot better than me.:o:D

lookitsme · 28-08-2012 12:30am

last nights chicken curry, we had no milk

The Big Red Button · 28-08-2012 12:33am

Cottage cheese with blueberries and flaxseed ... yum!! Really filling, too.

Fromthetrees · 28-08-2012 10:44am

4 grilled thick hickory smoked rashers, 2 fried free range eggs, (I tilt the pan and spoon the olive oil and melted butter over the top of the eggs which makes sure the eggs are cooked without turning them and leaves the yolk really runny, that might be a pathetic tip but I love it), I'll then fry mushrooms of any kind, cut open a big fresh role with poppy seeds (ALWAYS poppy seeds!) and pop it under a pre heated grill, take it out when it's got really crispy and spread butter over it and assemble. Had this yesterday and it always sets me up for a good day, I have this too much though, it's just too easy and too tastey.

I have seen it in Dealz before for E1.49 for 80 teabags so it might be worth having a look there, you might be lucky and they could have it.

This sounds delicious, I love rashers and eggs and brown bread, or sometimes waffles (has to be birds eye waffles though).

I haven't had it in a while actually, might be an idea for Saturday's breakfast...

Sala · 28-08-2012 4:20pm

I had a muller corner strawberry yogurt. Not much of a breakfast but I was late.
Great thread idea, breakfast is much harder to work out than lunch or dinner in my opinion. I have decided to do, not exactly a low carb diet, but to stop eating pasta, bread, cereal and potatoes (maybe allow a few spuds!) and I found I'm eating omlettes all the time!! Look forward to stealing your breakfast ideas

puffishoes · 28-08-2012 4:44pm

Strawberries,black grapes,blackberry's natural yogurt, dash of honey and some muesli two slices of brown bread with homemade blackberry jam nyom

Sunny side up eggs then. This is a well known and old tip.

:)

homemadecider · 31-08-2012 9:02am

Here's mine, previously mentioned - yogurt, oats, seeds, fruit. I usually put it in a lunchbox and eat it at my desk in work.

Sound weird but is delicious!

kenco · 01-09-2012 8:45pm

Two poached eggs served on toasted malt wheat bread

Large glass of OJ with a strong latte from the nespresso machine

Various vitamins and strong prescribed meds

Toast4532 · 02-09-2012 2:45pm

Late night last night, slept in this morning, so breakfast is a mix of breakfast and lunch, otherwise known as 'brunch' I think.

Beans, garlic bread, smoked rashers, potato waffles.

Dizzyblonde · 02-09-2012 4:58pm

Today we had a sort of hash-style fry that I make now and then. It's sausages, fried and cut into pieces, fried mushrooms, dry-fried chopped rashers, a little garlic and about half a tin of tomatoes all simmered together for a few minutes and served with toast

annamcmahon · 02-09-2012 6:26pm

Peanut and honey flapjacks mixed with fresh raspberries and natural yogurt. It's become a bit of a regular breakfast for using whatever fruit we have.

Mr_Spaceman · 03-09-2012 2:58am

A bowl of Jordans' superberry granola, two slices of toasted wheaten bread with marmalade. Mug of freshly brewed coffee.

a small bowl of Bran Flakes with milk

a glass of berocca

small coffee

2 soft boiled eggs on some asparagus.

Toast4532 · 16-09-2012 11:37am

There's some great ideas in this thread.

For today's breakfast I had toast with raspberry jam and some tea.

Definitely going to nab some ideas/suggestions from this thread.

leahyl · 16-09-2012 12:04pm

Monday to Friday I have the same thing - bowl of aldi luxury fruit porridge with a tsp honey, cinnamon and tsp ground flaxseed (I hears it's meant to be good for you!) and sometimes I have a banana or an apple too.

At the weekends i may have a treat of a few sausages and a rasher or else I'll have scrambled/poached eggs :-)

Twoandahalfmen · 16-09-2012 12:07pm

Strong Cup of Tea
Two Hard boiled Eggs

Cup of tea
Small bitta orange juice

Brunch. Homemade hash browns, egg and English Market sausies. I love when the sausage casing bursts and the sausage meat crisps up nicely. Lovely, but sooooo much food. Serious case of postprandial somnolence going on right now...

Apologies for the poor picture quality!

KTRIC · 16-09-2012 3:12pm

Big bowl of Flahavans Organic porridge made with water and a scoop of ON Vanilla Whey Protein to flavour. Bloody delicious

Does porridge taste much different when made with water rather than milk? Trying to be a bit healthier at the mo so thinking of making it with water instead - I just have this idea that it would be as "creamy" though

homemadecider · 16-09-2012 5:16pm

Posh Sunday breakfast in bed.

We had a very bold breakfast today of croissants and nutella

Think mushy cardboard or wallpaper paste

It is a lot healthier but you'll need to flavour it with something.

^ I had this also.

However, it came after muesli, then sausages, bacon, fried eggs, hash browns, hot, buttery toast and buckets of tea

B&B breakfast for the win

I'd actually love an omelette with onion, spinach, mushrooms, cheese and bacon. Mmm.

Might have to indulge at the weekend.....
