Breakfast ideas (apart from toast or cereal).

Need2bthrifty

I'm a great fan of savoury things in the morning too, anything from cheese scones with cucumber & tomato, leftover potatoes fried and served with a runny fried egg on top, grilled toms and cold meat on toasted crusty bread.

Occasionally I do take something sweeter, I keep a supply of small pots of stewed fruit in the freezer (nectarines, plums, rhubarb, apples) I love them on top of cereal, porridge or yoghurt.

Eggs, eggs and eggs. A boiled egg takes a short amount of time,(use a timing thing, do not count. The time yourself) and after its in you can put a piece of toast on for each of you.

Scrambled egg is warm and delicious, and can be fancied up by addition of a piece of bacon (this can even be cubed and sprinkled on top).

I also think I would be trying a piece of fruit in the morning. If not as prepared fruit (quartered apple, cut banana) then as a little fruit salad (can be made in advance and kept for a couple of days at a time in the fridge). Apple sauce can be had with yoghurt, and can be had warm...much more tempting on a cold autumnal morning, scented with cloves, or cinnamon, or nutmeg steaming from it, or a berry soup Scandinavian style (we have this quite a lot, and use it or apple sauce as a 'sauce' for porridge to cheer it up.

Generali

How to feed small children the Generali way (father of 2):

1. Prepare meal
2. Place in front of child
3. Let them eat it or not as they decide
4. Throw away any leftovers

No more food until the next meal, 5 meals a day (brekkie, morning tea, lunch, afternoon tea, dinner). No child will starve itself.

exactamundo Generali. Mine didn't graze, they ate what was in front of them or waited 'til next meal.

I am another one Generali, mine had to eat what was put in front of them at MEAL times, my house is not a cafe.

How about flapjacks, savoury or sweet muffins, American style pancakes, cheese omelette or a frittata

We recently got some of those breakfast biscuits on offer. My tots have brekkie at nursery 3 days a week, but have milk and an oaty breakfast biccy before we leave, to keep them going.

Then they have 3 meals and 2 snacks at nursery, and I still have to make them supper... The rest of the week we do porridge, scrambled egg, cereal, toast and jam or crumpets.

I bought some whilst on offer too but hven't used them yet...wish I'd bought more, I wouldn't buy them at the usual price. Though Aldi have something similar on sale at present at what would be the equivelant of the others being on sale at full price in the main supermarkets.

The Brivita biscuits started off on offer in Tesco's, then Sainsbury's but SB also went on to reduce the Kellogg's range...

There are so many choices(simple or more complicated for Breakfast)and depending on what time you get up or how much time you have Breakfast can be one of the nicest meals of the day...and again it can even be Brunch where you combine Breakfast and Lunch together.

All what you suggest Bossymoo sounds nice and why stick to the foods we've always been led to believe we should eat first thing?

Just as why not have what you fancy for supper...:)

More meals and variety may be more important when growing up but I manage on one or two meals daily as long as I hopefully get all the vitamins/minerals and protein that I should.

Hi.

Apart from porridge and toast, what other hot breakfasts can we all have during the winter to keep us full and warm?
On a budget.
