Breakfast ideas (apart from toast or cereal).

2 slices of toast with strawberry jam and a cup of tea here. Have had the odd bowl of porridge in the morning on my days off work as I have more time to sit down and enjoy it.

My favourite breakfast is Biscuits and gravy. Southern American style. rediculously high in calories, but were eaten by the poorer families about to do a days work in the cotton fields. Cracker Barrel. Thankfully I only get to eat there on holidays

Rye bread and jam with coffee, or fruit in the summer and porrage in the winter

I have made my own cereal for the summer & eat porrige during the winter. Hubby has sausage, bacon,egg, mushrooms & toast every morning.

It depends on my mood and where I am. At uni, I had a lot of porridge to try and save money. I didn't really enjoy eating it that much though. Other times I'll have bran flakes, toast, yoghurt.

I've never eaten breakfast unless it's a weekend and I have a late breakfast instead of lunch (fried one). I prefer a lie in to getting up and creating a mess in the morning that I'll have to walk back into when I get home from work.

Breakfast like a King, lunch like a Prince and dinner like a Pauper. Isn’t that what they say?

You shouldn’t really skip breakfast. Some people skip breakfast because they sleep too late or because they think it's a way to stay thin. But skipping breakfast doesn't help people maintain a healthy weight. In fact, someone who skips breakfast tends to eat more calories throughout the day.

Also, miss breakfast and you're missing out on the opportunity to boost your intake of several key vitamins and minerals.

Yoghurt & brioche are also winners for me. Lidl do a really nice custard filled brioche. My nephew and niece sometimes have toasted bagels for breakfast too.

Talking of breakfast, I’ve got porridge on the stove. Yum!

I make a sort of muesli affair with rolled oats, nuts, seeds and dried fruit soaked in skimmed milk overnight. If I'm feeling fancy then I might add some fresh fruit in the morning, like grated apple or berries. It's tasty, filling and fairly cheap. In the winter I'll often have porridge but this is nicer for the summer.

I "go to work on an egg" or two

Bitsy_Beans

Its toast for me with the occasional scrambled egg.
Breakfast cereals don't keep me going the way homemade bread does.
