Egg, potato, cheese, chorizo, hatch green chile, wrapped in a large tortilla. If you're not a green chile guy, grab some red chile powder and make some red chile sauce and pour that on everything right before rolling.
Honestly, my favorite "doughnuts" aren't doughnuts at all. We get a variety, and I go for the cinnamon rolls, fritters or eclairs before I'd grab an actual doughnut.
Also, most Americans can't spell doughnut, so you're better off ctrl-fing for donut.
I rarely eat breakfast, but if I feel like getting a treat on my morning break at work there's nothing better than a toasted everything bagel with sliced onion, tomato, and cream cheese.... Well, lox could make it better, but I'm not getting a $15 bagel lol
We used to have a sandwich shop at my office that would do lox and veggies on a bagel for maybe $6. They also had an avocado bagel for $4. They were replaced by a Starbucks in a different building on campus and it's not as good and more expensive.
Rather than tell you what I personally eat, maybe it will be useful to know what American diners serve for breakfast. You can walk into any locally-owned diner anywhere in the country and order from a menu almost exactly like this:
Breakfast Combo: Two eggs (scrambled, fried, or over easy/medium/hard), meat (bacon, sausage links, steak, or ham), and a carb (pancakes, toast, a biscuit, or hash browns)
Biscuits and Gravy: Two biscuits with sausage gravy over the top. Sometimes served with an egg.
Pancakes: A short stack is 2 and a tall stack is 4. Served with maple syrup.
Skillet/Omelet: Eggs scrambled with onions, bell peppers, cheese, and meat. An alternate version, sometimes called āloaded hash browns,ā uses hash browns instead of eggs.
Breakfast Burrito: An omelet wrapped up in a tortilla. May be smothered with red or green chili sauce for a Tex-Mex spin.
Oatmeal: Boiled oats with fruit, granola, syrup, etc.
Eggs Benedict: Poached egg on an English muffin with ham and hollandaise sauce.
And then each diner will have their own āfamousā specialty, like stuffed French toast, āhome friesā (pan-fried potato chunks), huge pancakes, or sausage made in house. Itās hard to go wrong though, American breakfasts are consistently pretty tasty.
If you wanna try something different but really good, a lot of breakfast places near me have a variant of Eggs Benedict usually called something like Irish Eggs Benedict, which replaces the ham with corn beef hash. Add a side of home fries, and you've got something that'll really stick to your ribs and keep you full and happy for half the day.
Greek yogurt, walnuts, craisins, pumpkin seeds, hemp hearts, chia seeds, maybe cinnamon, maybe a dash of honey, possibly some frozen fruit if I feel like waiting for it to thaw a bit. Coffee with a dash of oatmilk.
I am genuinely floored by how many people here are claiming to actually eat breakfast. Tf is all the chia pudding bananas toast eggs shit??? For me, and everyone I know, breakfast is a special occasion for days off. My wife and I make breakfast maybe 10 times a year. I've always heard Lemmy's average age is on the higher end, and this thread has confirmed it for me.
Well I mean you put oats in a jar overnight and take them to work or school in the morning. Easier still is keeping instant oats at work if you can. Breakfast is important man idk about skipping it everyday.
I do office work and feel pretty bad if I skip breakfast, even if I pull an early lunch. That's probably because I'm used to breakfast, but I still think it's important enough to take 5 minutes at night to put oats in the fridge.
There are some of us who wake up early to work out and have breakfast with our significant others before work. You don't have to be old to appreciate spending time together, or make room for it in your life.
My wife leaves for work at 7:30a, I've been up since 5:30a spending the morning with her. Sometimes those two hours are the highest quality time we'll spend together all day, fewer distractions.
Well, seeing as how the origin of the phrase is credited to Dr. John Harvey Kellogg, the founder of the Kellogg's breakfast cereal company, you're not really wrong. The guy was pretty unusual, helping to popularize germ theory, which immensely helped the field of medicine, but also pushing eugenics, the movement that in part inspired Nazism. Ultimately, I wouldn't give much weight to his ranking of meal importance.
Edit: looks like I was wrong - Dr. John Harvey Kellogg invented corn flakes along with his brother, but it was the brother who went on to start selling them, even after John told him not to.
I see breakfast as part of the time when you're getting ready for the day. I am not sure what else to respond to why it's shocking to me, it just is. I am also more likely to skip lunch than breakfast.
Two questions though. One, if it is time, why eat a big lunch rather than a big breakfast? Two, if it is money, why not split lunch into breakfast and lunch?
To answer question 1: Night shifts are quite common in the US (due to the desire of customers to want to visit at any hour), so it's often an easier choice to be productive at night and sleep through the morning. Even if you are a day shift worker, most of your free time will be at night, so you may focus on waking up later and avoiding breakfast to avoid being late (Had to do that plenty of times). Also, if you eat late, you likely will not be hungry in the morning.
To answer question 2: In many restaurants and quick service places (fast food/convenience stores) in the US, bundles are often in favor of buying a large quantity of food once rather than purchasing two separate meals (ubiquity of combos), and you can always save leftovers in a lunchbox for later in the day if needed. This changes when you are at home and have the luxury of time to cook, but during longer commutes (car-centric due to the lack of density in the US), it makes more rational sense to stay on the road and just pick a bundle up at a drive-thru to save time and money (can make two $10 purchases into one $12-15).
My son straight up just has leftovers for breakfast. Spaghetti, soup, roast chicken. Whatever's in there he can heat up he'll have before I even finish my coffee.
Most of the time, nothing. I tend to drink tea in the morning (usually, an hour after I wake up do I do that). Green tea with a dairy-free creamer is something I love to do a lot, actually.
Not sure if people just don't eat cereal anymore, or they just don't care to admit it. Love me some corn chex in particular. I'll do toast and scrambled eggs and bacon if I'm feeling like taking the time though, sure.
I have to have a protein focused breakfast, so usually some form of eggs. I have a lot of crustless quiches, scrambled eggs, omelets. Good thing I like them so much!
If I ever develop an egg allergy I am completely fucked lol
I like toast, eggs, and coffee for a work day and whatever Im feeling for a free day (which tends to be toast, eggs, sausage, and coffee lol I usually do wheat toast and i get ground sausage tubes because they're easy to freeze and such)
I have to eat really quick on workdays, so I don't always get anything, but usually cereal, or I'll spread applesauce and cinnamon on homemade bread if I've prepared some the last few days. Or recently pan dulce if I happen to have bought any recently because there's a bakery nearby that ive discovered sells it fresh for quite cheap.
1/2 avocado, mashed, with lemon juice, salt, pepper, and Japanese 7 Spice
300g strawberries
Yorkshire gold tea
Water
I toss that ham in the frying pan, brown it and put it on the plate, top it with the avocado mash, and then top that with the eggs. Strawbs go on the side.
It's 478 calories and has a decent amount of protein (28g) to start my day, plus 10g fiber, and it gives me good energy for my workout. Plus I never get tired of it!
Whole wheat toast topped with peanut butter, sorghum syrup, and bananas. The toast has fiber and the peanut butter has protein. The bananas and the tiniest drop of sorghum add enough sweetness to round out the flabor but contain less added sugar than most cereal.
Well Iām Asian and donāt really do the typical American breakfast. I just eat whatever, leftovers maybe. Iāll have coffee over tea though, so thatās pretty American of me lol
You and millions of other Americans eating leftovers for breakfast. Since the Mayflower for sure, and probably for centuries before that. Although they probably didn't have the Breakfast of Champions, cold leftover pizza.
Banana pancakes - just an egg and banana mixed together into a batter and fried for a few minutes. I throw on some frozen strawberries usually and its quite good
Usually coffee. Plunger, at least a pot. Otherwise it's pretty evenly split between vegemite toast, taiwanese green onion pancakes from trader joe's, or maybe a bagel, granola, shakshuka or left over takeout.
I grew up outside the country though, hence not being a fan of us style drip coffee which always taste like hay to me.
Drip coffee is better than percolator* coffee at least, and in my experience far better than keurig as long as you don't let it burn on "keep warm." But these days I use my fancy espresso machine. š
*I don't think anyone under the age of 40 has used a coffee percolator.
Breakfast sausage and eggs usually and depending on my mood coffee or hot tea. Sometimes I cook potatoes with it usually in the form or hash browns or using left over mash potatoes to make potato cakes. I usually vary sausage and eggs to either an omelette, burrito, if I have peppers on hand or a sandwich when I want cheese with it, else usually sausage patties and eggs over easy or sunny side up. If there's left over rice, egg fried rice with sausage.
Eggs and Bacon if I'm cooking. Scrapple if I'm feeling extra PA. If I'm not cooking and I grab something quick it's usually a breakfast sandwich from somewhere.
I love fried eggs on toast. We used to make them by cutting a circle in the toast to crack the egg in, but I think a runny egg over tbe top is probably better for bite balance, just doesn't look as cool.
Coffee on weekdays.
On the weekend when I have time, I'll fry up some eggs.
Breakfast food is my favorite food, mostly, but I never really have time to eat it.
I went quite a few years making oatmeal for myself and my kids every day, usually with brown sugar, butter, cinnamon, and frozen blueberries.
the kids have stopped enjoying it, though, after all the repetition, so we've started doing breakfast cereal, Raisin Bran and one of the Cheerios permutations that has some oat/nut ingredients, so these days I just have Raisin Bran.
Then I eat more of a traditional breakfast around lunch time. I saute a bunch of veggies and a but of sausage (just enough to grease the pan) and then add some eggs, put it in a tortilla for breakfast burritos.
A glass of water. About an hour later a cup of coffee. For lunch I usually have a slice of bread toasted, with butter and jam followed by a cup of coffee.
Typically 3 eggs, overnight oats with protein powder, and a mandarin orange. Not a body builder or anything, just a large tall person who eats mostly vegetarian so if I want to eat healthy I have to get protein in where I can.
Scrapple is one of those regional things that everyone seems to love but my family didn't usually eat. My mom cooked it once and it was like wet cardboard covered in shoe leather. She's a great cook but I wonder if she fucked it up because that made me never want to try scrapple again.
Peanut butter & Jelly sandwich with chia seeds. That's also most of the time lunch. Also dinner a lot. I've been unemployed for months. Dear god someone help me get a job.
Frontend web development primarily in React. I used to make apps in React Native but that was over six years ago. I taught myself Python for Flask and SQL so I could start doing the backend. I have AWS Cloud Practioner and Developer certs. I have been unemployed since May.
Heinz Beans, Eggs some scrambled (veggies added( and one or two over easy, 2-4 bacon and/or 2-4sausage, toast, if I'm not lazy
If I'm lazy, bacon and or sausage if I remember throw it in the airfyer, omelet (veggies addedg and toast, probably in sandwich form with cheese
And my "breakfast" at 2am is usually what I thinj is called eggy bread? I just dip bread in whisked seasoned eggs and panfry that, pretty peak honestly I could eat that forever.
low calorie keto bread so I feel less bad about toast consumption, and cup of chai. I use ketchup always. Im so hungry but I know I should sleep and have breakfast for breakfast instead of making it rnow
forgot the hash rounds/brown if I remember to airfry them, usually toss that and the meat in early, takes maybe 10-15 minutes to make it if im consistently making breakfast, I skip it lately, its easier for me to not eat if I havent ate yet that day
Weekdays? Coffee with milk, and either a piece of sourdough toast, or avocado toast, or cold oatmeal if I made some for the week. (I do small breakfast, big lunch, small supper.). Often just the coffee.
Weekends always at least one big late brunch, usually just eat twice those days so eggs, potatoes, refried beans, cheese, onion, tomato, avocado, bacon if we have it.
If I have a weekday off, and there is leftover rice, then rice & kimchi with a fried egg, or maybe savory oats or french toast something fancy or different but that is not usual.
On weekdays I don't eat breakfast, but I'll usually make my wife an Eggo waffle with some peanut butter and cinnamon sugar for breakfast as an incentive for her to get up in the morning, since she's not a morning person. Sometimes if I'm feeling motivated I'll make her a real waffle instead. On free weekends she'll make scrambled eggs and I'll make some sort of protein - bacon, sausage, biscuits and gravy... whatever we have on hand, then we'll eat together.
Either an egg over easy with whole wheat toast, overnight steel rolled oats with fruit and walnuts, or a smoothie with no sugar yogurt, walnuts, and fruit
Coffee, with some kind of yogurt/granola combo. I've been into overnight oats lately. Sometimes I'll make breakfast sandwiches consisting of Canadian bacon, egg and cheese. I try not to have to much sweet stuff to not crash so early in the morning...
Workout days (3 a week) I eat an egg/feta cheese/spinach scramble with 1 chicken breakfast sausage and about 1/4 cup of sweet potatoes. I meal prep these and keep them in the freezer.
Any non-workout day it's non-fat Greek yogurt with half an apple, 1/4 cup protein granola, and 2 TBSP of PB Fit powder.
Cottage cheese, granola, and a little bit of jelly/ jam/ preserves (and coffee of course). Right now I'm using blueberry. It keeps me from being hungry for a few hours, which is good enough for me
Peanut butter toast and a cup of coffee, usually. Y'all international types really do need to try crunchy peanut butter. Don't give me no skippy bullshit. It's amazing stuff.
We use peanut butter in some traditional dishes where I'm from. I'm actually surprised I couldn't find any peanut butter with no sugar added here in Europe.
Coffee, tea. I don't get hungry until I've been up for 3-4 hrs. At 11-noon, I eat my first meal depending on how work sorts out. In the fall / winter I'll fry an egg and a few strips of bacon or a sausage; spring/ summer is a slap-dash salad. My partner and I take turns based on who has free time. Night before leftovers of high veg / protein if I'm in a time crunch.
Breakfast sandwich of English muffin or croissant, egg, sausage or bacon, cheese.
eggs, hash browns or potatoes, onion, tomatoes, spinach in skillet. With salsa or hot sauce
healthy cereal with almond or oat milk
Mexican like breakfast tacos or rolled tacos covered in guacamole, pico de gallo, shredded cheese, salsa or hot sauce. If i do a breakfast burrito itās sometimes too big depending on where itās from so itāll save some for later.
Plus one mug of coffee. I tend to eat a more solid breakfast than those around me
Nicotine and high-octane energy drink or multiple cups of coffee. If I eat something, itās usually a sweet treat like a donut or pastry. Hearty food in the morning makes me queasy and an appetite for real food usually doesnāt surface until almost lunch time.
Weekends: 3 thick cut slices of bacon, small potato grated and fried into hash browns, 2 eggs sunny side up, pour over coffee, in addition to the weekday supplements.
My wife eats oatmeal or a French omelette during the week, which I make. And something more hearty on the weekend, depending on her workout schedule.
It's a fiber supplement, helps stuff move along and kind of fends off hunger until lunch since I'm fasting (except for the protein powder) 18 hours every weekday.
They're expensive but I'm lazy. These little cups of premade egg scrambles. It's got potato, cheese, and bacon. Or turkey, egg, and potato. Then I add some chili garlic sauce.
My most frequent breakfasts are just coffee, or 2 eggs over medium, some kind of meat (spam, bacon, sausage, or steak in that order of prevalence), and some kind of bread (toast, English muffin, biscuit) with coffee. Those options account for perhaps 85% of my breakfasts.
Sometimes (1-3 times per month?) I have cereal and milk. Very rarely, I'll have fruit and salami.
During the summer, I sometimes substitute iced tea for coffee. During winter, I sometimes have leftovers from dinner the night before. Any time of year, if there's leftover pizza, I'll have that for breakfast, cold, with salt and red pepper flakes added.
About twice a year I pull out my waffle maker, and make waffles on a weekend. Every time I tell myself I should do it more often, but every time it seems to sate my craving for ~6 months.
If I'm working, I don't have the energy to do more than a toasted bagel with cream cheese. On the weekend, especially if I manage to sleep in, I might do something like an omelette or egg sandwich of some kind. If I have the time, I might go big and break out a can of corned beef hash, cook that up and poach an egg in the middle of it, then have that with some toast.
If it was easier to get and keep fruit without it spoiling before I can eat it, I'd probably throw in a mandarin orange or something as an easy to eat side to my usual bagel, but American supermarkets make it hard to buy small batches of food more frequently rather than making a trip twice a month to stock up on groceries.
Usually nothing I less I know I'll have a long day. When I do eat breakfast it's usually oatmeal or left over dinner. If I eat breakfast then I skip lunch.
Nothing, usually. Sometimes yogurt with granola and/or fruit. When I was younger I ate cereal a lot. If I'm eating out, I'll get bigger stuff like waffles, biscuits and gravy, eggs benedict, or a classic plate of stuff (usually eggs, meat, and potatoes).
2-3 Eggs, a Sauage of some kind or bacon on on rare occasion, and a fruit smoothie usually. That's been my thing for the past 15 years or so. If it has to be quick I do oatmeal with peanut butter and fruit.
idk, its kind of variable because i truly just do not give a fuck at this point, but my breakfast may be one of the following:
nothing, just not hungry that morning
some kind of soup + toast
small 2-3 egg scramble w/potato, bell peppers, bit of cheese, bit of some kind of meat
ramen w/chicken and veggies
... throw on a small apple or handful of grapes, maybe a small salad (no dressing) or handful of baby carrots, maybe a small muffin onto any of those if i am more hungry than usual and/or trying to make that meal hit more food groups and be a bit more well rounded.
For me it varies a lot. First off im not wild about eating until severl hours after I have gotten up. So like when working a job when I commute I want to eat just about when I get to work and I used to pick up stuff a lot. Lately my wife has been scrambled eggs with breakfast sausage or chorizo lately and it can be sorta plain or we pick up guace, salsa, avacado, sour cream. but also just eat it with toast or tortillas or whatever. I can say my perfect breakfast would be biscuits and gravy, scrambled eggs, corned beef hash, and french toast. It should be noted that most places do not make fresh corned beef hash and use canned. That is god awful and a non starter. Im often afraid to order it as its one of those things that can be horrible but when made well its awesome. This applies to biscuits and gravy to a lesser degree but more places make it from scratch and the canned while not great is not awful. Its kinda hard to make bad french toast and even harder with scrambled eggs but places find ways.
Two eggs, two sausage links, and a fruit smoothie consting of a banana, apple, orange, grapefruit, and lime, with some kombucha and maybe frozen berries.
My standard is a mix of plain Greek yogurt and plain "American?" yogurt with hemp, chia, and flax seeds, cinnamon toast crunch, and wheat checks all mixed together. A lot of times I will also do a banana, spinach, ginger, and tumeric protein smoothie.
I do a peanut butter vanilla oatmeal fiber meal smoothie in lieu of breakfast. It's tasty and filling and slows my digestion down for the rest of the day. It's a custom recipe mostly.
I've been intermittent fasting recently so breakfast isn't till around noon, but it'll either be 3 eggs, turkey bacon and an avocado, overnight oats that I'll prep, or Greek yoghurt with berries chia seeds and nuts, or a blended fruit smoothie with some whey protein depending on what I'm feeling for the day
Depends. If I'm in a "job starts at 7 AM" kind of place, I'll probably have a banana for breakfast. If I've got time to sit around the house and eat something, maybe a bowl of cereal or oatmeal depending on the weather. On those slow Saturdays, where I've got the whole morning before mowing the lawn, I'll do the pancakes and bacon routine.
Always coffee. It's about a 50/50 split between yogurt bowls prepped the night before with cacao nibs, bananas, some other fruit, walnuts, some natural peanut butter and a little real maple syrup. If not that then we will have eggs (from backyard chickens) and toast.
On the weekends we will make pancakes or breakfast tacos (normal go to is bacon and egg, but really like potato, tomato, onion, egg, and cheese).

If you wanna try something different but really good, a lot of breakfast places near me have a variant of Eggs Benedict usually called something like Irish Eggs Benedict, which replaces the ham with corn beef hash. Add a side of home fries, and you've got something that'll really stick to your ribs and keep you full and happy for half the day.

Well I mean you put oats in a jar overnight and take them to work or school in the morning. Easier still is keeping instant oats at work if you can. Breakfast is important man idk about skipping it everyday.

If you're doing office work, breakfast really isn't that important
oascany@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 308d
I do office work and feel pretty bad if I skip breakfast, even if I pull an early lunch. That's probably because I'm used to breakfast, but I still think it's important enough to take 5 minutes at night to put oats in the fridge.

There are some of us who wake up early to work out and have breakfast with our significant others before work. You don't have to be old to appreciate spending time together, or make room for it in your life.
My wife leaves for work at 7:30a, I've been up since 5:30a spending the morning with her. Sometimes those two hours are the highest quality time we'll spend together all day, fewer distractions.

Well, seeing as how the origin of the phrase is credited to Dr. John Harvey Kellogg, the founder of the Kellogg's breakfast cereal company, you're not really wrong. The guy was pretty unusual, helping to popularize germ theory, which immensely helped the field of medicine, but also pushing eugenics, the movement that in part inspired Nazism. Ultimately, I wouldn't give much weight to his ranking of meal importance.
Edit: looks like I was wrong - Dr. John Harvey Kellogg invented corn flakes along with his brother, but it was the brother who went on to start selling them, even after John told him not to.

Food can be expensive, and sometimes you gotta prioritize your money for something else. (Or just eat a bigger lunch)
XiELEd@piefed.social · 2 pts · 309d
Two questions though. One, if it is time, why eat a big lunch rather than a big breakfast? Two, if it is money, why not split lunch into breakfast and lunch?
Truscape@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 2 pts · 309d
To answer question 1: Night shifts are quite common in the US (due to the desire of customers to want to visit at any hour), so it's often an easier choice to be productive at night and sleep through the morning. Even if you are a day shift worker, most of your free time will be at night, so you may focus on waking up later and avoiding breakfast to avoid being late (Had to do that plenty of times). Also, if you eat late, you likely will not be hungry in the morning.
To answer question 2: In many restaurants and quick service places (fast food/convenience stores) in the US, bundles are often in favor of buying a large quantity of food once rather than purchasing two separate meals (ubiquity of combos), and you can always save leftovers in a lunchbox for later in the day if needed. This changes when you are at home and have the luxury of time to cook, but during longer commutes (car-centric due to the lack of density in the US), it makes more rational sense to stay on the road and just pick a bundle up at a drive-thru to save time and money (can make two $10 purchases into one $12-15).

My usual breakfast is:
I toss that ham in the frying pan, brown it and put it on the plate, top it with the avocado mash, and then top that with the eggs. Strawbs go on the side.
It's 478 calories and has a decent amount of protein (28g) to start my day, plus 10g fiber, and it gives me good energy for my workout. Plus I never get tired of it!

Whole wheat toast topped with peanut butter, sorghum syrup, and bananas. The toast has fiber and the peanut butter has protein. The bananas and the tiniest drop of sorghum add enough sweetness to round out the flabor but contain less added sugar than most cereal.

Nicotine and high-octane energy drink or multiple cups of coffee. If I eat something, itās usually a sweet treat like a donut or pastry. Hearty food in the morning makes me queasy and an appetite for real food usually doesnāt surface until almost lunch time.

Weekdays: 5g psyllium husk, 5g creatine, 30g whey protein, double Turkish coffee, 1 liter of water.
Weekends: 3 thick cut slices of bacon, small potato grated and fried into hash browns, 2 eggs sunny side up, pour over coffee, in addition to the weekday supplements.
My wife eats oatmeal or a French omelette during the week, which I make. And something more hearty on the weekend, depending on her workout schedule.

What is the psyllium husk for?
rockstarmode@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 307d
It's a fiber supplement, helps stuff move along and kind of fends off hunger until lunch since I'm fasting (except for the protein powder) 18 hours every weekday.

My most frequent breakfasts are just coffee, or 2 eggs over medium, some kind of meat (spam, bacon, sausage, or steak in that order of prevalence), and some kind of bread (toast, English muffin, biscuit) with coffee. Those options account for perhaps 85% of my breakfasts.
Sometimes (1-3 times per month?) I have cereal and milk. Very rarely, I'll have fruit and salami.
During the summer, I sometimes substitute iced tea for coffee. During winter, I sometimes have leftovers from dinner the night before. Any time of year, if there's leftover pizza, I'll have that for breakfast, cold, with salt and red pepper flakes added.
About twice a year I pull out my waffle maker, and make waffles on a weekend. Every time I tell myself I should do it more often, but every time it seems to sate my craving for ~6 months.

If I'm working, I don't have the energy to do more than a toasted bagel with cream cheese. On the weekend, especially if I manage to sleep in, I might do something like an omelette or egg sandwich of some kind. If I have the time, I might go big and break out a can of corned beef hash, cook that up and poach an egg in the middle of it, then have that with some toast.
If it was easier to get and keep fruit without it spoiling before I can eat it, I'd probably throw in a mandarin orange or something as an easy to eat side to my usual bagel, but American supermarkets make it hard to buy small batches of food more frequently rather than making a trip twice a month to stock up on groceries.

Once a week: I make malted waffles for the family. Usually on Sundays.
Once in a great while: donuts. I love donuts but at my age I need to restrict how many and how often I eat them.

idk, its kind of variable because i truly just do not give a fuck at this point, but my breakfast may be one of the following:
nothing, just not hungry that morning
some kind of soup + toast
small 2-3 egg scramble w/potato, bell peppers, bit of cheese, bit of some kind of meat
ramen w/chicken and veggies
... throw on a small apple or handful of grapes, maybe a small salad (no dressing) or handful of baby carrots, maybe a small muffin onto any of those if i am more hungry than usual and/or trying to make that meal hit more food groups and be a bit more well rounded.

HubertManne@piefed.social · 1 pts · 309d
For me it varies a lot. First off im not wild about eating until severl hours after I have gotten up. So like when working a job when I commute I want to eat just about when I get to work and I used to pick up stuff a lot. Lately my wife has been scrambled eggs with breakfast sausage or chorizo lately and it can be sorta plain or we pick up guace, salsa, avacado, sour cream. but also just eat it with toast or tortillas or whatever. I can say my perfect breakfast would be biscuits and gravy, scrambled eggs, corned beef hash, and french toast. It should be noted that most places do not make fresh corned beef hash and use canned. That is god awful and a non starter. Im often afraid to order it as its one of those things that can be horrible but when made well its awesome. This applies to biscuits and gravy to a lesser degree but more places make it from scratch and the canned while not great is not awful. Its kinda hard to make bad french toast and even harder with scrambled eggs but places find ways.

I've been intermittent fasting recently so breakfast isn't till around noon, but it'll either be 3 eggs, turkey bacon and an avocado, overnight oats that I'll prep, or Greek yoghurt with berries chia seeds and nuts, or a blended fruit smoothie with some whey protein depending on what I'm feeling for the day
captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works · 1 pts · 309d
Depends. If I'm in a "job starts at 7 AM" kind of place, I'll probably have a banana for breakfast. If I've got time to sit around the house and eat something, maybe a bowl of cereal or oatmeal depending on the weather. On those slow Saturdays, where I've got the whole morning before mowing the lawn, I'll do the pancakes and bacon routine.

Always coffee. It's about a 50/50 split between yogurt bowls prepped the night before with cacao nibs, bananas, some other fruit, walnuts, some natural peanut butter and a little real maple syrup. If not that then we will have eggs (from backyard chickens) and toast.
On the weekends we will make pancakes or breakfast tacos (normal go to is bacon and egg, but really like potato, tomato, onion, egg, and cheese).
