What did you have for Breakfast?

Toast with peanut butter and tea.

Is there a law against saying "poached eggs on toast & coffee", OP?

I'm home today....bowl of muesli and Greek yogurt with a cut up peach, cut up banana, and some raspberries. After I had a cherry fruit pocket (pastie) from the bakery I went to yesterday morning.

I'm on my third (and final) cup of coffee.

coffee, a cigarette and zoloft. breakfast of champions

Strawberries, unsweetened almond milk, Oikos triple zero vanilla yogurt, spoon of no added sugar peanut butter blended into a smoothie. Delish and protein packed.

Steel cut oats with vanilla and cinnamon, topped with berries and almonds, prepared in my new Instant Pot

Chickpea stew (Cheta Makan's recipe) with a dollop of sour cream, with basmati rice.

Two pieces of buttered, toasted Italian bread, one Chobani blueberry yogurt, glass of spicy tomato juice, and about 15 boiled peanuts (the big fat ones).

I ate this

Nothing. I’m not a fat fuck like you, OP.

2 ham and Swiss rollups, macadamia nuts, raspberries and a nectarine. About an hour later the savory oatmeal that I had cooked previously was ready to eat, had some walnuts and a HoneyCrisp™ apple with it. My daily glass of ACV and water(with a splash of blueberry/pomegranate juice) preceded all this.

Cold leftover buffalo wings and a glass of Metamucil.

OP, there's no product placement in Datalounge.

Aldi brand Corn Chex-type cereal, unsweetened vanilla almond milk, Splenda, strawberries, coffee.

Are you a hobbit, r11?

One Eggo Thick & Fluffy waffle topped with cinnamon honey butter and maple syrup.

Coffee with creamer.

r15 Not the last time I looked. 🧙‍♂️

Would you mind explaining the statement to me, I neither read the books nor saw the films.

R17 Hobbits are notorious for their appetites and enjoy many meals a day including breakfast, second breakfast and elevenses before lunch.

Post-chemo breakfast. Cheerios with low-fat milk with a latte made from coffee Ensure Max (30 g protein), instant coffee, hot water and a tad of turmeric. Everyone's breakfast sounds delicious but this is low effort.

Lobster bisque

This morning I made a breakfast burrito. Never tried to make one before, but it was quick and easy.

Quest Chocolate Peanut Butter Bar, and a Starbucks venti iced coffee with splash of heavy cream and 3 pumps sugar free vanilla syrup.

Who is so lazy she can't poach an egg properly?

Sorry. When nonplussed I revert to rhetorical questions.

I had coffee.

"We've had one, yes. What about 'Second Breakfast'?

"What about elevenses? Luncheon? Afternoon tea? Dinner? Supper?"

This morning, for myself and my brother, I made Chocolate Malt-O-Meal (standard Malt-O-Meal with a tablespoon of Valrhona Cocoa added; with Kerrygold butter, a splash of heavy cream, and some packets of Splenda).

Soft-scrambled eggs, a small link of chicken sausage, and a slice of whole wheat toast.

2 Tablespoons of Honey Vanilla yogurt with fresh blueberries, raspberries, green grapes and walnuts, then coffee and a chocolate biscotti.

An omelette made with one cup of egg whites and some pre sauteed peppers and onions. I also had two slices of the thin Dave's killer bread and two tablespoons of peanut butter with sugar-free jam. 3 slices of uncured Turkey bacon .

My Siamese Trixie had her usual morning meal of Sheba chicken Pate cat food and 1/2 cup of gentle stomach Purina Cat Chow due to her propensity to vomit on the runner in the hallway which inevitably step in.

A slice of Sicilian-style orange cake and a banana.

I don’t eat breakfast.

One time I watched Carly Simon eat a banana as her breakfast meal. She acted like it was a huge amount of food to eat. She was skinny as hell yet had a shit this n of money.

A stale glazed donut from Dunks.

r18 Damn, maybe I am one after all. 😵

Thanks for cluing me in. I love to learn something new each day. 🤔

An Eggo Liege Belgian-Style Street Waffle, Maple Flavor and coffee with half n half.

Basmati rice topped with split pea dhal, with plenty of chutney on the side, and a cup of instant coffee.

For breakfast this morning after I've taken my daily constitutional -

Organic Sprouted Oatmeal ( 1/3 cup before cooking)

3 tablespoons organic ground flaxseeds

1 tablespoon organic chia seeds

1 tablespoon organic hemp seeds

1 very heaping tablespoon organic cacao powder

and

2 medium boiled Vital eggs.

Excellent. I may try this.

Five scrambled eggs and a protein shake.

Whatever it was, it tasted just like shit

Steel-cut oats, raisins, and peanut butter.

Half a plain bagel with a thin layer of cream cheese and a very generous amount of smoked salmon.

Gloria Jean's Butter Toffee coffee pod.

You must have eaten at home with the "generous amount of smoked salmon." That's why I like eating stuff like that at home. You can put as much as you like. Restaurants won't really give you a luxurious amount. Same with sashimi. I like to go to the Japanese supermarkets near my brother's place (L.A. area) and get a few different kinds of raw seafood to take home.

Three pork eggrolls heated in my air fryer.

Toasted sourdough bread topped with a Wholly Avocado mini cup and a few slices of cherry tomato all sprinkled with Tajin.

Blueberry Cobbler coffee. I'm on a flavored coffee kick lately.

Two ladles of fresh rain water. Last night we were blessed with a typhoon.

A bowl of oatmeal and a coffee.

[quote]Steel cut oats with vanilla and cinnamon, topped with berries and almonds, prepared in my new Instant Pot

Makes me laugh every time I read this.

So you had /oatmeal/.

I had leftover sesame / rice porridge and tea.

Steel-cut oats can be a bitch to cook perfectly unless you use a pressure or rice cooker. The info is pertinent. Also, the fruits, nuts and vanilla are delicious and enhance the nutritional value.

I like seeing how creative DL'rs are as cooks and the nutritious meals they create. But if you don't, that's fine.

Cold drip black coffee washed down with three Beroccas in sparkling mineral water.

I'm doing intermittent fasting.

"Elevenses" by country:

[quote] Steel-cut oats can be a bitch to cook perfectly unless you use a pressure or rice cooker.

Here's how I do it, in single servings:

1. Overnight soak. Ratio of oats (weight) to water is ~ 1:3. Ratio in volume is ~ 1:2.

2. Next day: microwave it on 6/10 heat (not full blast) for 3 minutes.

3. Mix in raisins and peanut butter (smooth, creamy) and salt.

I used to cook it on the stovetop (no pre-soak), which wasn't a huge problem. I really don't see the need for a pressure cooker, but to each his own.

Anyway, believe it or not, I get a better texture with the pre-soak and microwave. Less mushy, more nutty and chewy.

I love the flavor of oats, but I don't love the texture of either steel cut oats or rolled oats. I have found a more delicious way to get a chewy texture but without the "sliminess" of steel cut oats, and a lot of good oat flavor. I start some coarse bulgur wheat in cold water, bring it to a boil, stir for a minute or two, until it starts to thicken a bit, then add a cup of quick cooking rolled oats, and stir that in, cooking for about a minute, then turn off the heat and cover tightly. The bulgur lends a delicious chewy texture, the oats add delicious "oaty" flavor. Serve it with a pat of butter, some fresh blueberries, a little honey or other sweetener. Delicious. My friends call me the whole grain whisperer. I cook every kind (quinoa, buckwheat, millet, amaranth, teff, bulgur, oats, 10 grain cereal, brown rice, grits). No scary additives, no extra salt or sugar, just whole grain goodness. That and some soy milk, and my body feels very well-nourished and ready to take on my day. This morning was a millet day. Yesterday was a buckwheat day.

I will try that, R54.

[quote]I like seeing how creative DL'rs are as cooks and the nutritious meals they create. But if you don't, that's fine.

I never said that. I just think it’s funny how people have to mention steel-cut every time.

Let me know how it turns out for you! I think you'll like it.

[quote] I never said that. I just think it’s funny how people have to mention steel-cut every time.

R56, there is actually a difference between "steel-cut" and regular rolled oats. "Steel-cut" isn't just a marketing term. It's not like saying "good vanilla."

Anyway, steel-cut oats look like little pebbles and are in the top right of the posted photo. They require more cooking time.

Rolled oats are flat-ish like in the bottom left of the photo.

I think I would prefer the rolled oats that I always have on hand for baking based on that article, R58. Thanks for the lesson.

r4, goddessdamnit, if I were Lezbionic, I would rent a U-Haul and go to Vermint (my Boston huzbear's term for your state) and beg for your hand in marriage. Totally platonic. We even have a Subaru wagon that has room for yet more bumper stickers. Last time I was here, you were looking for an apartment or trying to resolve conflict with a neighbor. Hope that worked out.

For breakfast I had 4 pills to manage blood pressure, some other meds for whatever, washed down with a shot of Smirnoff, and half a Marlboro. Put out a can of Fancy Feast and sprinkled catnip around the back yard and left the slider cracked open in attempt to lure neighborhood cats. My cats are gone and I miss them. Then went back to bed for another three hours. Partner, who is now 2,000 miles from the nearest Dunkin Donuts, tells me how "these hairy things with long tails" tried to jump in his lap and lick him. And that he can't get a decent breakfast sandwich or iced cwahffee. Really? He's on Ozempic. For me, a cup of decaf with two shots of Bailey's, and I'm back in bed with at least one purring cat and possibly a squirrel or some racoons, or a baby opossum. Morning of champions.

I had a Jimmy Dean Chicken Honey Biscuit sandwich.

Blueberry Cobbler coffee with half n half.

R58- BOTH of those are inferior to my Organic sprouted oatmeal that I eat twice a week with chia seeds, hemp seeds, ground flax seeds and cacao powder.

I was traveling so I got a Breze with chives at the station.

R63 is a "Jealous, bitches?" post (to me, anyway)

R62, recipe please. Whole grain whisperer, good for you. I loved eating buckwheat groats and yogurt for breakfast but these days am too bushed for anything but cheerios and blueberries.

I cook my steel cut oats in my rice cooker, which has a porridge setting. The oats come out great, and it keeps my rice cooker from being a one-use appliance.

Sundays are my treat day. So I had a slice of zucchini bread from this brilliant bakery here in BK (Southside Coffee). Then split a bagel piled high with salmon, cream cheese and capers w my husband.

Cheese omelet w/ new potatoes

Today I’m just having coffee for breakfast. Have to work, no time to make anything.

I BINGED after lunch today so now I have to take a walk in addition to the 2.1 mile walk I took this morning. It's not June anymore the days are significantly shorter. The sun will set at 7:38 pm in my neck of the woods. I had better go soon before it gets dark.

I'm replying to this on a Sunday, so it's pancakes, sausage (sometimes bacon) and coffee. My Sunday extravagance.

Cigarettes,coffee and a pimento cheese sandwich.

Home-made black bean soup with a dollop of sour cream.

Coffee and mixed fruit.

Quest Hero Bar and 60 calorie yogurt

I had a Jimmy Dean Delights Turkey Sausage, Egg White and Cheese Croissant Sandwich.

Coffee with half n half.

A few sips of Ensure. Having a severe bout of possible diverticulitis. Partner is going to pick up a prescription fortwo antibiotics soon. My gastroenterologist has also ordered a CT scan.

Mcdonalds coffee and breakfast burrito.

I had waffles with cinnamon honey butter and maple syrup and coffee.

In the Fall and Winter, Sunday is big breakfast day for me with waffles or pancakes, maybe hashbrowns and eggs too. Not officially Fall yet but close enough.
