    French toast, made with home-made white soda bread. In bed. :) I love Sunday mornings!

    Breakfasted at one of my favourite cafes, Brother Hubbard's, at the weekend. Chorizo and feta omelette, with rye toast and a really good, smoky tomato sauce, and coffee. So simple yet scrumptious.

    <3<3 that place. I can't deviate from the cinnamon scrolls when I'm there to try other things though, compulsively order them (and one for a 'friend' to take home with me) like they'll stop making them if I don't

    how do you guys have enough time in the morning to dedicate to these wonderful breakfast concoctions?

    I have just about enough time to throw a slice of bread in the toaster then throw it into me.

    I hate breakfast anyway. I'm lactose-intolerant and not really a big fan of cereal, porridge, etc anyway. I invariably coerce myself into eating a boring old piece of toast and heading out the door. I'd skip it altogether if my lunch break was earlier than 2.30pm.

    I'd say there's a lot of weekend/day off posts here. During the week I'm more of a dry-granola-at-my-desk girl.

    Yesterday both daughters were here so I made a mixed grill. Please ignore the incinerated sausages (one daughter only eats them that way!) and focus instead on my home made hash brown :)

    I used the recipe in this article - you have to scroll down a bit. I used butter to fry the onions, then mixed them with the potato in a bowl and put sunflower oil into the pan to fry the hash brown. First time I made it I used butter and it wasn't crisp enough.
    I also mashed the potato slightly with a fork.

    This morning breakfast was something I've been having a lot lately.

    One orange and one banana chopped up and mixed with 3 tablespoons of oats and a big dollop of low fat natural yogurt all washed down with a mug of tea :D

    Thanks for that Dizzy, hopefully I'll get a chance to make it over the weekend :)

    You could try clarified butter. You're probably not able to get the butter hot enough to crisp the hash brown, as the butter would burn. But clarified butter has a higher smoke point than most, if not all oils, and you still get a slight buttery flavour.

    I started making my own clarified butter a few months ago, and I love the stuff! :)

    I always thought life was too short for clarifying butter but maybe not :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,305 ✭✭✭April O Neill

    Me too, but it's actually a quick process. You can have it slowly melting in a pan while doing other cooking. Then just skim off the milk solids. You won't get 100% of them, hence the slight buttery taste.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,821 ✭✭✭fussyonion


    I had cinnamon and raisin pancakes with berries, cup of Kenco, banana and glass of pineapple juice.

    In addition...

    The skimming part is only a ten minute job, seriously. :)

    The only oil I use is olive, I don't believe sunflower oil and co to be healthy. So for frying, it's either olive oil or clarified butter. Obvs you can't fry eggs in olive oil - well, you can but yock - so things like that are where clarified butter comes in. The higher smoke point is very handy too, for cooking steak or other things that need quick cooking at a searing pan temperature.

    OK, that's enough about clarified butter. :o

    Smoothie of coconut water, peanut butter, natural yoghurt, melon, spinach, lime, mint and ginger. Lovely and refreshing.

    I knew when I was making it that I was forgetting something. It wasn't until I was out running several hours later that I realised I'd forgotten the oats :eek:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,613 ✭✭✭Toast4532


    This morning I had poached duck eggs, smokey bacon, brown toast and a cuppa tea. Lovely. :)

    Made my own frappe this morning to quench my ever increasing caffeine addiction.

    Four spoons of instant Arabica coffee
    Chocolate protein powder
    Ice cubes
    Banana

    Stick it all in a blender for a sec and hey presto !! Turned out very nice, just missing the milk. Can't wait for tomorrow, going to experiment with recipes :D

    We had roughly the same breakfast! Except mine were banana buns, but still double fruit based cake and a coffee.

    Dropped (on their head) scones, with butter and apricot jam, and a big mug of tea.

    I have gone mad into smoothies lately! I buy a load of fruit, freeze it so it doesnt go off, then take out each morning what I need. Add some nuts, spinach, yoghurt and milk and you have your 5 a day in one delicious glass!!

    Oooh did you make those muffins?? Would love the recipe


  • Registered Users Posts: 38 lisatu


    Oooh did you make those muffins?? Would love the recipe


    Here is the recipe taken from finding joy in my kitchens website.

    Sweet Cherry Zucchini Muffins
    Ingredients
    • 2 C white whole wheat flour
    • 1 C whole wheat flour
    • 1 1/2 tsp. baking soda
    • 3/4 tsp. salt
    • 1 tsp. cinnamon
    • 2/3 C sugar {reduce by 1-2 T}
    • 1/4 C brown sugar {do not pack}
    • 1 C milk + 1 T milk
    • 1/8 C olive oil
    • 1 egg
    • 2 tsp. vanilla extract
    • 1 C shredded zucchini, excess liquid squeezed out
    • 1 C dark sweet cherries, pitted and quartered
    Directions
    In a large bowl, measure out the 1/4 C brown sugar {don’t pack!} and 2/3 C sugar. For the 2/3 C sugar, I didn’t fill my measuring cup full – so feel free to do that for yours also.



    Add in the 1 C milk and be slightly generous when measuring, if you plan to use all whole wheat/white whole wheat flour.

    Stir until well combined.
    Add in the 1 egg, 1/8 C olive oil and 2 tsp. vanilla. Stir.


    In the same bowl {hey, I’m a fan of less dishes!!}, pour in the 2 C white whole wheat flour and the 1 C whole wheat flour. Add to that the 1 1/2 tsp. baking soda, 3/4 tsp. salt, and 1 tsp. cinnamon. Carefully stir these dry ingredients until they are slightly mixed while they sit atop the wet ingredients. Then, stir the wet and dry ingredients together.



    The batter will be pretty thick at this point. If it’s so thick that you have trouble stirring, add in more milk.


    Shred your zucchini, and squish the excess water out of it. Then, add your 1 C shredded zucchini to the batter.



    Stir in 1 C quartered cherries {I left mine in halves, but I recommend quartering them!}.



    Scoop the batter into 16 lightly greased and/or paper-lined muffin tins.



    Bake at 400 for 15-20 minutes, until muffins are lightly browned and a toothpick inserted into the center of the muffin comes out clean.




    Ive no idea where to get white whole wheat flour in Ireland so I use half and half plain flour with whole meal flour.
