What did you have for breakfast thread?

Kovu · 21-10-2015 11:02AM

A load of slicked pickled ginger and some pickled mustard greens. You'd know I'd been to the Asian supermarket lately:D Followed by a nutella coffee.

Someday I shall have a normal breakfast.......but today is not that day.

Thanks for that.

How much celery/cucumber etc would you put in to make one smoothie?

1 celery stick
About 3" of cucumber
A small knob of ginger
A small handful of kale/spinach
1 kiwi/ half apple

You can sweeten it with a tiny amount if honey or dates.
If you want a smoothie consistency add a bit of yoghurt

We woke up late and my poor husb had to run out without eating. We usually all have brekkie together, but it means it's a quick meal as he's due into work. Because he wasn't here for brekkie this morning we (baby and I) had a lovely long leisurely brekkie. Bran flakes with banana, sesame baguette toasted rounds with cream cheese, Greek yoghurt mashed with strawberries and I also had a little grated dark choc on top and a latte.

I saw an article in the Irish Times yesterday about making bagels so decided to give the recipe a go. I made the dough last night and left it to rise slowly overnight, then did the poaching and baking this morning. It was definitely worth it, they were fecken delicious.

We had them hot from the oven with cream cheese, smoked salmon, fresh dill and cracked black pepper.

My perfect over easy fried egg. Yummy. I get offended when people leave any yolk behind on their plate. Put the egg on some toast and none is wasted.

A big wodge of cut-it-yourself batch loaf, toasted with marmalade and real butter. Plus coffee that was tar-like in colour and texture. CAFFEINE

:pac::D:pac:

Streaky bacon, scrambled eggs and toasted multiseed loaf from Lidl. Good ol Sunday.

northgirl · 25-10-2015 03:32PM

sourdough with real butter, brie and some ham - and tae!

Hmmm, pickled red chillis. You make them yourself?

I didn't.

I was making stir fry one night and there wasn't any fresh chillis in the shop, so I grabbed the next best thing. :pac:

Scrambled eggs that should have been an omellette LOL but was gorgeous. Two thick slices of home made soda bread (thanks Sis), one to mop up the eggs thing (!), and the other spread with real butter and that lovely rhubarb and vanilla jam from Aldi for a breakfast dessert.

Mugs of tea.

Bliss.

This morning we had carrot cake porridge and I had a big mug of coffee which scalded the mouth off me

Two poached eggs on Low GI seeded bread and some coffee, plus Vitamin C for immune purposes

TeletextPear · 29-10-2015 01:29PM

Hotel breakfast! Mini smoked salmon quiche, white pudding. Freshly baked mini wheaten loaves with real butter. Natural yoghurt with chopped apple. Only noticed as we were leaving the dining room that there was a pancake station - tomorrow sorted!

Whispered · 31-10-2015 04:09PM

Poached eggs, mushrooms with garlic and buttery toast. Honey and lemon tea.

katydid · 31-10-2015 06:45PM

Some of that squidgy Soreen malt fruit loaf, toasted, with butter. And a boiled egg. Yum.

Carrot cake porridge??

tayto lover · 01-11-2015 10:06PM

3 large sausages, 3 rashers, 2 fried eggs, black and white pudding and beans.

I figured that my system might be lacking in cholesterol.

Yep. It's so good. Of course it's not really cake but has the flavours and feels like you're having a treat.

Equal amounts (by eye) of grated carrot and porridge oats but I know my husband prefers less carrot. It works either way.
Dash cinnamon to taste.
Vanilla to taste (I usually don't bother with it)
Handful raisins, although I use chopped prunes because I'm trying to get them into the baby. They work just as well. I'd imagine any fruit would.
Mix well and add your preferred liquid (water, milk, mix etc). Cook as normal.

Lovely served with Greek yoghurt on top and crushed hazelnut or seeds. I generally use flaxseeds.

Yesterday morning we also got a hotel breakfast! Standard fry, toast and fruit but they also had a pancake machine, with portions of maple syrup and nutella

Thanks! Sounds great!!

I dusted off the old egg coddler and gave it another go. I still think it's more trouble than it's worth because it takes more than twice as long as a boiled egg.

youngblood · 04-11-2015 07:14PM

*off to google "egg coddler"*

vicwatson · 05-11-2015 12:41AM

1 brown toast, real butter, 1 banana

LucaDat · 05-11-2015 01:08AM

coffee

Mrs Fox · 05-11-2015 11:57AM

I had pan fried duck and sauteed garlic spinach. Yup. I sure did.

Dolbert · 05-11-2015 01:13PM

Turkey and cheese sandwich with an apple for dessert.
