Anita in NC Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 The last few days I've been have quinoa (already cooked) with milk, sugar and cinnamon. The kids have been eating homemade cinnamon rolls the last couple of days. Toast is a popular breakfast here. Sometimes the kids just eat leftovers.

Ginevra Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 At the risk of sounding exceedingly ordinary and not at all a Domestic Goddess, we mostly have cold cereal for breakfast. Other possibilities are oatmeal, english muffins, bagels, fruit or yogurt. Lunch is usually some combination of leftovers, soup (homemade once in a while, but not usually), pierogies (the frozen kind) or sandwiches. Dinner is the only time I regularly make from-scratch meals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truscifi Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 Breakfast this week has been homemade yogurt flavored with homemade jam (can you tell I'm pleased with myself on that one? :tongue_smilie:) or toast with jam or oatmeal. I sometimes eat cereal, but ds and dh don't. Lunch has been leftovers or sandwiches. I had a peanut butter and marshmallow sandwich today. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knit247 Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 Pretty boring here - I can't wait to read the replies! The one thing that we do do that the girls love, however, is French Toast every Mon. morning. Starts our week off right! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcconnellboys Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 I made some steel cut oats over the weekend and have been warming them up with cinnamon, brown sugar, and almond milk some mornings. We were sorta snowed in one day this past week and made soup and sandwiches for lunch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rosie_0801 Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 Lunch is a bit of a free for all at the moment. Sometimes I'll knock up something, other times it's fruit and leftovers or whatever. That's heading towards the top of my priority list... Breakfast is beans, home ground flatbreads, some fat and whatever greens are around. The beans may be something cooking in tomato with some herbs added, and served with avocado for fat, or home made hummus containing a good slug of olive oil.

Rosie_0801 Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 Rosie, I like your breakfast. I'd like to come over. :D How's next weekend? Dh has been unemployed for months so he's been cooking them. He finally starts a new job on Monday so I'll need to step up to the (cooking) plate! I hope I can hack the pressure! But I'll still let him cook on weekends so he feels useful. I'll tell him you're coming :D Rosie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravin Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 First Breakfast around here is usually cereal for DD, and I'll have oatmeal, cereal, or french toast. Second breakfast might be bagels with cream cheese, eggs, french toast, or pancakes. Today I'm eating oatmeal with cinnamon and blueberries. DD eats cold cereal every morning--she'd think the world was ending if she didn't have cereal for breakfast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Negin Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 How's next weekend? I'll tell him you're coming :lol: :grouphug: Dh has been unemployed for months so he's been cooking them. He finally starts a new job on Monday Happy to hear that he starts a new job from tomorrow. :) First Breakfast around here is usually cereal for DD, and I'll have oatmeal, cereal, or french toast. Second breakfast might be bagels with cream cheese, eggs, french toast, or pancakes. My ds has not just one, but a few breakfasts ... and he's as slim as a ruler. He eats non-stop.

KatieH Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 Usually bacon and eggs or soaked oatmeal. We have chickens, the eggs are fantastic! And we get our bacon from a farm just a few miles down the road, it's so yummy. Bacon and eggs are the favorite :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QueenCat Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 Breakfast is an on your own meal most of the time. Cereal and bagels are always available. Eggs can be made if desired. Sometimes, I'll make pancakes. A few times a year, dh will make a big breakfast on Saturday/holiday. Lunch is just me and younger ds during the week. Lunch meat is available, as are leftovers. We tend to go out once or twice a week for lunch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mejane Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 I eat eggs everyday, dh and ds eat cereal or eggs, and dd eats grilled cheese or cold chicken or pizza (whatever is leftover in the fridge.) We also keep yogurt smoothies and granola bars around for quick bites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngieW in Texas Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 I only fix breakfast on Saturdays and Sundays. All the other days everybody has to fix her own breakfast. The breakfasts that I make get rotated between pancakes and bacon (only dh eats the bacon and 17yo fixes herself toast instead) Jiffy blueberry muffins (15yo and I eat something else) cinnamon rolls from a can (I eat something else and dh just skips breakfast) buttermilk biscuits using recipe from America's Test Kitchen (12yo eats something else) What we eat on other days: cold leftover pizza (me) heated up leftover pizza (17yo) toast (17yo, 12yo, me) Eggo blueberry waffles (17yo, 12yo, occasionally dh) frozen peas (15yo) assorted fruit (15yo) random protein leftover from fridge (15yo) I generally make crepes 3-4x/week, but that can be at any time of day. Usually the 12yo is the only one who eats them. I use the recipe from America's Test Kitchen, but I double the eggs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
