Round 13
What do you enjoy eating for breakfast?

--- -- --- -- --- -- --- -- --- -- --- -- --- --
I struggle with breakfast because I'm recovering from an eating disorder, so I HAVE to eat it, but one of the ways I motivate myself to eat it is by trying different breakfasts from all over the world. I really like the Full English Breakfast, but don't have time for it so I tend to mostly do baked beans, bacon or sausage, and toast. I like to have overnight oats prepped the night before, for breakfast or a snack. Oh! I also love the French breakfast because BREAD. I haven't tried other countries as much yet. As my grandmother was from Mexico, I don't really associate Mexican breakfast foods with "other countries".

And then also: I enjoy just having soup or cold/slightly warmed pizza sometimes! I don't feel as energized from super sweet breakfasts, like cereal or pancakes/waffles, and prefer them for dinner/dessert (to be fair, I eat dessert first, so IDK what to call this).

EGG.....i love eggs, so when i actually make breakfast i love including them. lately i've been making tamago kake gohan when i have leftover white rice because it's fast and delicious. i have cool guy disease (adhd) so i often forget to do things like eat, so a lot of my breakfasts are simple things like pan dulce or pastries that i can just grab instead of having to go through the process of heating something up or cooking something.

my absolute favorite breakfasts though are just cheap diner food after a camping trip. there's something about being all dusty and exhausted from being in the mountains all weekend and stopping off at the first diner or denny's you see at the foot of the mountain and getting warm food that someone else made.

I loveeee diner breakfasts! I eat eggs sometimes, not much because they make me sick. I want to try making a Japanese rolled omelet (tamagoyaki)! It's on my "bucket list", I guess. XD

I haven't sat down and eaten a traditional breakfast in a long while, but recently I've liked eating tuna and crackers at work before my shift lmao. Normally I'll skip right to lunch but I'm realizing I can't function politely on an empty stomach, especially around customers. Crackers and tuna are just light enough that it doesn't make me feel overly full after, and there's like no prep since it comes in one of those premade box things that's basically just crackers and dip. On my days off I'll usually skip altogether or my breakfast is my lunch and we get food from there.

I hate breakfast lol I forced myself to have a smoothie every morning (like almond milk, 2 tbsp protein powder, chia seeds, spinach and banana) But now I hear a bunch of respected dieticians say you don't need breakfast if you aren't hungry. So now I feel a little betrayed lol But at this point I cant make it 11 without having a breakfast.

If I do eat out (because my husband loves going out for breakfast or friends love brunch) I almost always get something savory. I was doing a whole savory oats things for a while, and I like making scrambled tofu with veggies in it, or having a strata that kind of has leftover veggies, stale bread that soaks up an egg/milk mix.

Anything! Breakfast is my favorite meal, so I even like having breakfast for dinner! : We had that the other night, we had pancakes for dinner!

For breakfast, I'll have cereal, oatmeal, eggs, bagels, pancakes, even frozen waffles or french toast sticks! Yummmm! My favorite is a homemade breakfast though, with eggs, toast, and homefries or any kind of potatoes <3

Traditional breakfasts are a bit overrated IMO XD I looked up breakfasts around the world for my meal planning bullet journal collection, and a few places don't even have eggs, bacon, pancakes, etc. The breakfast/lunch/etc. are just social constructs, so you can eat whatever you want (: tuna and crackers is valid!

I tend to get breakfast at places that serve it and often regret it, because it's sooo sweet. But I LOVE pancakes. It's awful tbh.

Ohhh, homefries look like a great breakfast side companion! I've never considered having potatoes for breakfast beyond leftover potato soup and hash browns!
