What's for breakfast?

Definitely Dekka. I notice that a lot. When I eat a couple eggs for breakfast, I am not hungry till about noon or 1. I get up very early, about 5ish. I drink coffee first and then make some breakfast within about an hour of getting up. They say eating right away and eating protein will get your metabolism going right away and that assists in losing weight. And the protein really does satiate. I try not to do sugar in the morning, but if I have oatmeal, it has sugar. lol. But that's only once or twice a week.
Another way of thinking that I do is, I have to get a certain amount and a huge variety (every color they come in) of vegetables in every day. That's my "rule" for myself. The only way to do that is to include them in every meal really and even some snacks. Like last night well after dinner, I kind of felt like something and was a little hungry, so I got a celery stalk and filled it with about a TBS of peanut butter. That was mighty yummy. Also, I include an apple and/or berries of some sort, usually blueberries because they're my fav.
Some of those breakfasts sound mighty tempting, but some go against my dietary regulations. LOL. I use to love Capt. Crunch. I would eat that for a snack even. But alas....that is on my no no list these days.
The mango sounds awesome! I haven't had one of those in a while. I forget to buy them. You just gave me an idea!
Picklepage, I'm sorry you're tummy is messed up from the antibiotics. I hope you are better soon. Then you can make a big, farmer's breakfast. lol.
I've pretty much cut out bread, at least most of the time. But that homemade oatmeal bread with all the goodies sure sounds yummy. I can smell it baking from here. I don't usually think about or miss bread...that is....until someone like you comes along and reminds me.:rofl1:

Theoretically, lol. It's never worked for me before. My metabolic system is an enigma. The cream and sugar seems to do the trick though.
I cannot touch anything like yogurt, oatmeal, nothing with any substantial carbs or I am ravenous within an hour, and any sort of pancakes and I am headache-y, sick and shaking all freaking day long.

You tried the fantastic low carb pancakes from ibreathimhungry? I can't say I'm a pancake person.. Waffles fresh from a waffle maker.. *drool* there's a reason I don't own one.. but for a while her pancake recipe really did it for me. I thought about making some today...

Breakfast is Ryan and I's speciality It's the only meal that we can really eat together unless we plan a dinner for 10pm.
Most mornings we either have waffles and oranges, or go all out and have pancakes + bacon + eggs. This morning we had cereal though, boring!
We did try the eggs in a basket grilled cheese earlier this week, omg to die for!

I can't eat breakfast. I just have coffee. Tiny bit of sugar, and usually a slpoosh of milk, but now my boyfriend is trying to loose weight, and is going to drink a half gallon of milk a week instead of a whole gallon, so I'm drinking my coffee black.*
*this post may not be understandable. I just woke up and haven't finished my coffee.

The last time I had pancakes was the day after Xmas when my kids and my niece spent the night. I wanted to make them a special breakfast with pancakes, eggs and sausage. And yes, pure maple syrup is the only way to fly! So, that is a very occasional treat.
When I was a kid, my Dad always made the Sat. morning breakfasts. They were homemade buttermilk pancakes or waffles, which were to die for....they were so tender and thin. And he also made Dutch babies in the little cast iron pans that you put in the oven. We'd put fresh squeezed lemon and powered sugar on top. Soooo good. They are not easy to make right. And now he's gone and I doubt if we'll ever have another Dutch baby like his.

Today I just had a banana.
Lately I've been having toast for breakfast, though. Sometimes cereal. I've tried to stomach oatmeal too, but I hate the texture.
I never used to eat breakfast at all. It made me feel icky. But now, even if I don't really feel like eating, I do anyway because I do feel better for it. Even if it's not much. I don't have a lot of time in the mornings (too lazy to get up any earlier than I already do before work), so that's why my breakfasts are so plain and boring. I don't have time to make anything interesting. I'd far prefer eggs for breakfast, but they take too long to make and eat. By the time I'm done getting ready, I generally have 15 minutes to make my lunch and find something for breakfast before I leave for work. So I need to eat something within that time frame. Hence the banana as I was running out the door this morning, lol. I am so not a morning person.
That said, I don't tend to eat breakfast on my days off. I generally just wait for lunch on those days because I get up a little later.
