LLMom Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 Today I served pumpkin pie for breakfast. I do this quite often because it is healthy. (I put less sugar than it calls for and no whipped cream) My 10 ds thinks it's cool to eat pie for breakfast. He said he was going to tell all of his friends about his unusual breakfast. That got me to thinking. Does anyone else have any unusual breakfasts they serve? We get tired of the same ole thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julie Smith Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 I dont' consider it unusual. But cooked vegetarian hot dogs. I slice them in half length wise and fry them, I eat them with syrup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shukriyya Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 Pureed vegetable soups get served here for breakfast sometimes. And I went on a stint of having a small hamburger patty at one point. I was really craving the protein and it just hit the spot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stratford Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 I have one child that will eat almost anything for breakfast other than "normal" breakfast foods. Last week, he ate an 8 oz container of mushrooms for breakfast and called it good. Typically, it's leftovers, sandwiches, soups, or something he scavenges out of the fridge (like mushrooms.) Other than the occasional cold pizza (or leftover pumpkin pie, we do like that), the rest of us are dead boring and eat things like eggs or cereal.

MFG Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 We like an avocado half as a side with fried egg and toast. Leftover pumpkin pie is traditional for the morning after Thanksgiving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Library Momma Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 For a while my husband was eating canned chicken noodle soup every morning. I was afraid of the sodium he was ingesting and made him stop! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toawh Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 I often make my kids popcorn, not the microwave kind, for breakfast. We sprinkle it with Parmesan or have it with a glass of milk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stacia Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 This morning, ds & I had taco dip w/ tortilla chips. Mine was just beans w/ cheese, while his also included some ground beef. We were both kind of tired of the usual breakfast stuff, so I pulled out our little tapas-sized portions of the dip from the freezer & heated them up. Yum. Definitely something we will eat again someday for breakfast. I also like lentil soup for breakfast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrixieB Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 One of my dds and I often eat non-breakfasty things for breakfast. She went through a refried beans & rice phase, and then a sweet potatoes & eggs phase. Now she usually eats whatever leftovers she can find. Sometimes she and I will have green salad with cheese and meat and whatever other veggies I have on hand. I enjoy canned salmon with avocado & sauerkraut. It's quite tasty IMO, but the rest of the family does not perceive this as a breakfast food and does not care to try it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AmandaVT Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 leftovers for breakfast is a favorite around here - especially pizza or chinese food! I created a banana "sushi" for DS last year and it's been a hit. wrap (any kind - whole wheat, white, etc), smear with peanut butter, place a whole peeled banana on one end and roll up. Slice into sushi pieces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shukriyya Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 I enjoy canned salmon with avocado & sauerkraut. :drool: Sounds like just the kind of thing I eat though I often have my kraut at lunch. I'm thinking *smoked* salmon, avo and kraut for breakkie with a perfectly boiled egg on the side. I'd have to be pretty hungry though to eat that much in the a.m. but for lunch, yep!

busymama7 Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 Apple or peach crisp with cream. Its a step above plain oatmeal as it has fruit!! ;)And I did pumpkin pie on Halloween morning but I did add real whipped cream because I'm not one that thinks it unhealthy :). And I bragged about because really how often are the rest of you serving vegetables for breakfast?!? ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annie Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 I've been known to eat salad for breakfast occasionally. In the winter I sometimes have left over soup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onceuponatime Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 I do pumpkin pie without the crust for breakfast and call it pumpkin custard. I usually put a dollop of plain yogurt and a sprinkling of nuts on mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Marmalade Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 We frequently have pie for breakfast. It's kind of become the standard- when I make a pie, I cut it into 8 slices. We have four slices for dessert and save the other four slices for breakfast. I actually think it's a pretty good breakfast- not too sweet and loaded with fruit. I like sweets for breakfast- things like quick breads, muffins, scones, etc. I've been trying to curb the sweets, so this week I tried half an avocado smeared on whole grain toast and sprinkled with sea salt and pepper. The first few bites left me wanting, but by the time I was done, I was dreaming of doing it again. Even better, it stuck with me for a very long time.

Ripley Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 We usually sleep through breakfast. :blush: Unusual for us would be to be awake, and to eat anything! If anyone wakes up for breakfast, it's usually last night's leftovers. And I can tell you, in my house that wouldn't be pumpkin pie. No, that would be my before-bed snack (to enjoy once the kids were in bed). I'm a bit selfish and mean that way, I like the good stuff for me.

creekland Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 We eat anything for breakfast - I've never understood exactly why there are different "breakfast" foods. If there are leftovers, those are typical. If I'm headed to school I'll often make a toasted, then microwaved, cheese sandwich (healthier and easier than the grilled variety) or cottage cheese. If I'm staying here, it's whatever I feel like. We do have our own chickens, so it can be eggs, but eggs can also just as easily be lunch or supper. I'm not really a cereal person. We rarely eat breakfast together since we're all on different schedules. Everyone gets what they want. We (adults) were gone last night. It looks like youngest opted for microwave popcorn for his breakfast this morning... that is unusual, but him picking unusual things is not. The other day he just had a bowl of mini-marshmallows that generally go in hot chocolate. It's weird as he's usually a very healthy eater - esp for lunch and supper, but breakfast seems to be "different" in his mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tap Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 Dd7 loves to have the salad with chicken from the Costco food court for breakfast. She usually eats dinner left overs. For breakfast. Yesterday it was enchiladas. Lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, it never would have occurred to me to eat them all at the same time. :blink: But, they are all healthy ingredients, so enjoy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mom in High Heels Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 I usually can't handle more than dry multi-grain toast and a banana for breakfast. My stomach doesn't like a lot in the mornings. Unless of course it's a Panera soufflé and then it's on! That's a rare event though. Indy likes to make a tortilla wrap with meat, cheese, alfalfa sprouts, and hot sauce. Just the thought makes me ill. I do pumpkin pie without the crust for breakfast and call it pumpkin custard. I usually put a dollop of plain yogurt and a sprinkling of nuts on mine. I might be able to do this! Can you share how you make it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just the thought makes me ill. I might be able to do this! Can you share how you make it? I just put the filling that would go in the pie (I also reduce the sugar by about 1/4 a cup) into a greased casserole dish and bake in the oven until set. I think it takes about 45 minutes. It is better after it cools for about 10 minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris in VA Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 This morning dd is having rice pudding. It does have some sugar in it, and it has white sugar, too, but she usually doesn't eat and needs to, so I'm ok with it. It's warm and homey.

Heather in Neverland Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Well, we had spicy chicken masala pizza this morning. Does that count as weird?

KungFuPanda Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 I've been on a SERIOUS apple crisp kick lately, so I've had it for breakfast a lot. I think I've made two a week for over a month now. It's a problem. I also make a rice pudding that we like for breakfast too. Most mornings, though, I just have my tea and hold out until lunchtime when I can eat dinner leftovers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LLMom Posted January 16, 2014 Author Share Posted January 16, 2014 So many interesting things people are eating for breakfast. Actually, eating typical dinner items makes more sense. Eating your heavier, protein meal at the beginning of the day seems healthier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
creekland Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Does anyone know how traditional "breakfast foods" gained that label? This morning, so far, I've had some cashews, green tea, one Oreo cookie (left over Christmas gift), and a bite sized Krackle bar. It's a bummer when we don't have leftovers... When hubby wakes up I'll probably fry some potatoes with onion, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
