(268 posts)Not from a mix. "Good Old Fashioned Pancakes" on Allrecipes and I added blueberries.
Real maple syrup, the Costco brand.
Real butter.
After the holidays, I go back on keto, so I am living it up.
Rorey
(8,445 posts)I like that. I only use real butter. I'm a vegetarian, but I do use butter and milk, and eggs when baking.

(8,445 posts)I'm just joking, sort of. I find that having something super-sweet in the morning will cause me to have a bad day.
I'm probably going to have what I have just about every morning: Oatmeal with cranberries and a spoonful of ground flax seed. No milk. Nothing else.
But that's a couple of hours from now. For now, just my coffee.

(12,400 posts)I almost posted the exact same thing.
Fudge before protein in the morning would have me flying, and then Id feel sick for hours.
My standard is raw oatmeal flakes and a Tb of flax seed mixed into a bowl of yogurt. I do like the Activia black cherry.
Coffee or strong Earl Grey.
Rorey
(8,445 posts)Oatmeal with flax seed, chia seed, hemp seed, walnuts, and cranberries. There were just too many calories, even though they were "good" calories. This pandemic is not good for my waistline as it is.
I love black cherry yogurt too.
I just don't like tea.

(11,491 posts)Yesterday for breakfast, we both ate too much of it and I had stomachache rest of day.
Its only after 6 here and I don't eat breakfast till 10 but it will be something anything healthy after yesterday. I find as I get older 64 now, I can't get away with large rich meals.
So starting my day with ginger tea.
Rorey
(8,445 posts)I used to be able to eat virtually anything and still feel good. Now there's a growing list of things I don't do anymore. Getting older sucks in that respect.
Honestly, though, now that I'm a so-called senior citizen (66), I wish I had started eating better when I was younger. Gone are the days when I can drink coffee all day long and have cake as a meal. Now I get my two cups in the morning, and another one mid-morning, and a tiny mug cake is all I allow myself.
I found a super easy mug cake recipe. You take a box of angel food cake mix and a box of regular cake mix, combined. And then you just take 3 tablespoons of the mix, 2 tablespoons of water and microwave for 1 minute. 3-2-1. I like to squirt in a little chocolate syrup before microwaving, and top with whipped topping. It's a yummy little treat. At least I think so. And super cheap.

(8,445 posts)I have one just about every day.
I mean, it doesn't compare to the Italian Cream Cake that I used to make, or Chocolate Ganache, but it satisfies my craving for a little something sweet.
marlakay
(11,491 posts)I bought a box of a bunch of single mug brownies once then made one after the other 😜
Rorey
(8,445 posts)One trick I've been using is to eat my tiny little cake with a tiny little spoon. It takes longer, and makes me savor a little bit more.
I do the same thing with my plates. I don't use dinner plates. I use salad plates. It keeps me from putting so much on my plate the first time, and I'm kinda lazy, so it takes me long enough to get up and go get the second helping that sometimes I can actually talk myself out of it. Sometimes.
Honestly, I'm utterly failing at sticking to anything close to control when it comes to eating during this pandemic. I used to distract myself by getting out and going shopping or something, but I can't do that. So I'm stuck home. With food. I fail.

(54,436 posts)It's a dark bread from central Germany, rye-based and wheat-based (mixed). Probably with some brie on it, which I shouldn't. Then some fresh-pressed orange juice and some cinnamon-clove tea from the States sweetened with Turkish apricot marmalade.

obamanut2012
(26,137 posts)I loved the breakfasts in Germany: bread, cheese, meat.
smirkymonkey
(63,221 posts)traditional breakfast foods. I prefer more savory lunch or dinner type foods and a little later in the morning. Like a nice bowl of soup, or some good crusty bread w/ cheese and fruit/olives/peppers/condiments, etc., things like that.
Usually, like today, I just had a tall glass of rose iced tea. I stopped drinking coffee a few years ago because it bothered my stomach, so I'm more of a tea drinker now.
Sometimes I will have some toast or an English Muffin or some cheese melted over crusty bread in the toaster oven, but not much. I have also been really into fresh apple cider lately as well.
I love pierogi and sauerkraut! That sounds ideal!

(8,445 posts)Actually, my husband prior to the one I divorced last year, had that kind of romanticism and sense of humor. I sure do miss him. He's been gone for 28 years now. Hard to believe.
Keep up the good work, er, spousing.

(2,769 posts)Never hungry in the morning.
frazzled
(18,402 posts)I can't eat in the morning at all. Just black coffee (with a side of newspaper). Occasionally I'll have a half an English muffin or a small bowl of cereal 3 or 4 hours after rising, to tide me over until lunch if I'm feeling a little lowblood sugarish.
I think breakfast is overrated ... as something to eat in the early morning, that is. I love eggs, so once in a while we have what we like to call a "breakfast supper" with an omelet or souffle or other egg dish.
Oddly, I do eat breakfast when we travel (that long-ago activity). But that's because I've usually been up and showered and dressed for several hours before heading out.
mercuryblues
(14,537 posts)I decided to opt for the nutritious breakfast this morning. I really wanted a piece of crusty, Italian bread, smothered in butter.

(246 posts)A toasted piece of locally baked La Miche bread (if you are not familiar with La Miche and interested in a MOST amazing bread check out link below). Topped with organic creamy peanut butter and a slice of New Zealand Cheddar Cheese. I know, peanut butter and cheese, weird right? Actually, it is great and very sustaining, but it's got to be a single slice of bread. Two pieces of bread with cheese and peanut butter -- way too dry and strange and yucky. Also a gigantic cup of Irish breakfast tea with milk, sugar, and stevia (the stevia is an attempt to have a sweet AM beverage without creating a total AM cavity extravaganza).

(8,445 posts)I don't think I have the patience to wait for FIVE DAYS !!!!! for my bread to be ready.
But thanks for teaching me something I didn't know. I love learning.

(12,442 posts)I started buying pasteurized liquid egg whites when eggs were scarce earlier this year. I just pour some in a brown ceramic thingy and microwave for 6 minutes in my 80s vintage, low-power microwave. Tasty and easy and I'm not hungry for a while afterward.
Mossfern
(2,552 posts)for the past few days I've been splurging and adding heavy cream and cinnamon - just to get into the holiday spirit.
I usually drink it black. I've been getting up later and later; probably a winter thing.
Looks like you all are having absolutely delicious breakfasts!
Sympthsical
(9,111 posts)Safeway has bacon on sale for $4.88 this week, so the mister bought way too much of the stuff. We're trying to work our way through it.
Baked bacon is better than fried. Healthier, too and without all the mess. Put it on a cooling rack over a cookie sheet so the fat drips down. Bake at 400 for 12-20 minutes depending on cut and desired crispness. A minute or two before taking it out, brush it with whatever sauce or marinade you want. I think this morning, I'm going to brush it with maple syrup since we have a little left that needs using. It's pretty amazing.

sip of orange juice (to take 2 pills)
coffee with milk
I have Just Crack an Egg one or two times a week. Mostly, it's Raisin Bran/Cheerios mixed and small banana OR
2 Belgian waffles, toasted, then spread with yoghurt. (to remind me of Brussels, a city where everybody eats waffles while walking around. Even Japanese tourists!

(11,491 posts)Sautéed crimini mushrooms, kalamata olives, left over chicken meat, spinach then set aside, cooked eggs then added the above with some goat cheese. After flipping top over few tablespoons of salsa and greek yogurt.
Very yummy and much healthier that yesterday's sweet roll.
Also ginger tea and tangerine juice fresh from TJ's.
