It's good and easy, until it isn't anymore. Then I change to another kick. Right now, it's steelcut oatmeal. I eat it with applesauce, chopped walnuts, a tablespoon or so of flax seed, some shredded coconut and a sprinkle of cinnamon. I eat this every day except on the weekend when I have crustless quiche and a slice of toast with Trader Joe's organic cherry jam (so, so good).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5956538942392497830.post-6135473230824790982018-04-14T10:47:59.963-04:002018-04-14T10:47:59.963-04:00I make the coffee and set the kettle on for my gir...I make the coffee and set the kettle on for my girl's tea while she walks the dog. Some mornings she gets her own breakfast, some mornings I do it for her. Depends on our moods and how much we slept in. I tend to grab something on the run as I head into the office - usually oatmeal or a yogurt/fruit/granola parfait. And my husband is totally on his own beyond coffee.Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13879162672311458964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5956538942392497830.post-67094845525548587662018-04-14T02:02:44.576-04:002018-04-14T02:02:44.576-04:00My children are all in their teens now and ordinar...My children are all in their teens now and ordinarily sort out their own breakfasts which means at weekends when I announce were having X they're delighted somebody else is doing it for them!<br />Husband and son err on the side of lack of breakfast imagination (and possibly laziness!) so they like having something different. The girls are better at thinking outside the box and go through phases of making different sweet or savoury breakfasts.<br /><br />We've only recently discovered Dutch babies (they're not common in the UK) which I like as a more hands off version of pancakes. Eaten too fast though!

I like the looks of your breakfast here!<br /><br />My husband leaves the house before breakfast, so he eats at work (I pack his oatmeal in his lunch box). My children typically rotate between breakfast casserole (Sunday/Monday), baked oatmeal w/ peanut butter (Tues/Wed/Thurs), and buckwheat pancakes (Fri/Sat); I sometimes also make waffles for them. Occasionally I'll indulge them and cook bacon. As for me, I nearly always eat a Greek yogurt bircher muesli (with summer berries or cherries + some toasted almonds) or lots of veggies sauteed in olive oil with scrambled eggs. And always coffee. But on Sunday mornings my husband makes me an epic omelet with loads of veggies, half an avocado, and often chevre. Ohh, and a drizzle of hot sauce. It's the breakfast highlight of my week!<br /><br />I like the predictability of my breakfasts. In the morning I am typically ravenously hungry and have no desire to think about what to eat. (Actually I plan out my meals and snacks the day before b/c I never want to try to decide what to eat on the fly!) But I'm also easily satisfied with similar meals over and over again, a mixed blessing for sure. My kids haven't started complaining about their breakfasts, so we all seem pretty satisfied.Pollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09403233175071026416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5956538942392497830.post-56048365540803732212018-04-13T20:41:34.337-04:002018-04-13T20:41:34.337-04:00I've never considered mushrooms for breakfast,...I've never considered mushrooms for breakfast, but they are so good with an omelette, so why not? Your way sounds very appealing!<br /><br />I feel very much like a hobbit most days since I'm preparing food so often. With a 2 year old and 12 year old, someone is always eating something. Stepping back with both breakfast and lunch has been going on in my home since last summer. My big boy enjoys the freedom (with boundaries), and I enjoy not having to prepare quite so often. The only complaint I have is that I still have to be there because his cooking tidiness is lacking. I know that will improve with practice, though. My little one has both peanut and egg allergy, and those two foods are staples of the older boy's breakfast. I just don't feel comfortable leaving it all up to him.<br /><br />My breakfast is always oatmeal and scrambled eggs, except Sunday when I prepare bacon.Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02319295883808264474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5956538942392497830.post-41858051521836700572018-04-13T18:04:08.643-04:002018-04-13T18:04:08.643-04:00Empty nesters here and Hubby happily eats whatever...Empty nesters here and Hubby happily eats whatever I make but we do go out 2 mornings each week, one for us and one with our church small group. Hubby would most certainly revolt if I served him mushrooms which he picks out of every dish I put them in. Our youngest daughter in law loves them for breakfast which is funny since she is so, so picky.Lanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09380649410508372279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5956538942392497830.post-63946960601824542532018-04-13T15:22:10.109-04:002018-04-13T15:22:10.109-04:00Oh, my goodness!

Seriously, though, eating like a hobbit sounds great to me! Big lols!<br /><br />My breakfast is a simple one. Coffee with 1/2&1/2 and english muffin - one side peanut butter, the other homemade jam. Sometimes I mix it up and make one side cheese, or salmon spread, etc. <br /><br />Weekends can vary, and I have a super easy egg, cheese, muffin sandwich once a week or so... ('easy' is a key word for me with food prep!)<br /><br />Really lovely to hear how the family dynamic evolves. We do want to raise humans who can look after themselves... well done on letting go of control of the process. ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07477806052578880686noreply@blogger.com
