I usually eat either oatmeal with fruit in it, or one scrambled egg with whole wheat toast and 1/2 grapefruit. We have french toast or waffles a couple of times a month, usually on weekends.

When I was a kid, we never once changed our breakfast routine. Every weekday we had hot cereal, (if we finished that we could have cold cereal - a treat!) every Saturday was some type of eggs, and every Sunday was either pancakes, waffles or french toast. Looking back, I realize now how lucky I was to have such great food all week long for breakfast.

Oh, Dotsie, I agree that is so boring! Live a little! Try the chocolate! I don't know how I got out of the habit of adding sweeteners. Does your husband have to eat any certain thing(s) for breakfast re: diabetic? Does anyone use soy milk with their cereals?

During the week for breakfast we have old fashion oatmeal with blueberries, juice, yogurt, and coffee. On weekends, sometimes I make blueberry muffins, cinnamon breakfast cake, or eggs.

All I ever buy and use is Soymilk. Love it and its better for me than cows milk.

Dotsie, the reason Egg Substitutes are so good is they taste exactly like a real egg with all the cholesterol removed, read a carton at the store, you may be surprised.

I think we bought 6 real eggs ..once in the past 5 yrs.

Instead we buy egg substitutes or egg whites. I tend to buy the latter. It tastes lighter to me which is what we want. As I said earlier in thread, we tend to prepare egg dishes..for supper at home. Hmmmm....only about 2-3 times per month. It's just a natural evolution of things. I don't feel a powerful need to eat eggs more often nor do I miss it when I don't have it.

Fried rice that I do, chatty is how my mother does it which is different from the restaurant. I think the restaurants use abit too much soy sauce. But the general process is I think is to stir fry cooked rice by itself and then combine it with stir fried eggs & with veggies already nearly done. Then stir fry again quickly everything, etc.

However, my mother omitted the stir frying of rice separately and just put in the rice with the stir fried eggs and veggies, which gives the whole dish a much fluffier and different taste than restaurant style.

I actually gave up trying to do stir fried rice with eggs, etc. Instead I simply have eggs stir fried/scrambled with veggies, onion and garlic on the side with rice. That alone is a meal in itself..for supper.
----------------------------------------------------
Oatmeal is considered a good fast absorbing carbohydrate that alot of people who exercise early in the day, eat. However I never eat the huge bowls of oatmeal that one might see others have. it's just half a c. of oatmeal with some milk. I have oatmeal that has no sugar.

I'm not pure because my downfall is after a bike ride, I might have a scone, or muffin and coffee.

So, back to the waffles and yogurt!


Good thing Princess that you know what the cause was.

Lynn, it sounds like you might have an allergy to nuts. Try eating a small amount by themselves.

Meredith, they sound delish, but I'd never go to that much trouble for breakfast. Call me lazy, but unless it's a special occasion, my breakfast has to be one or two ingredients. I'm still eating cereal with banana. Looking forward to mixing it up with some good berries soon.
