DS and DD2 have toast with vegemite on it. DD1 has wheat bix/vita brits or porridge followed by toast or fruit. She's a brekky fanatic and would make it a 5 course meal if she had the time Dh has Wheat Bix every morning too. I'm really bad i don't have breakfast.
5 or 6 days a week it's weet-bix. If I leave bowls out the night before Yasin gets it for him and Imran so I doze with one ear open while they eat it.
1 or 2 days a week it's something cooked by someone else. We go out for breakfast or get manoush. Very, very rarely I cook eggs.
I'm not much of a morning person so my breakfast is usually a cup of coffee.
I have Jalna strawberry yoghurt... except I've run out :(
Otherwise I have either corn flakes (Sanitarium ones with a reasonable ingredient listing), vita brits, porridge or toast.
Pony i am the same! dh gets the kids bfast and i will snooze while they eat... then about 8 i have to pull myself out of bed ;)
DD1 usually has weetbix then yoghurt. DD2 has porridge then toast. I usually have weetbix or toast. On the weekends I'll cook bacon, eggs with baked beans.
Most mornings I have porridge, or Carmen's fruit free muesli on the rush mornings. About once a week we will have the cooked breaky of bacon, eggs, mushrooms. The kids will tend to have toast or cereal (wheatbix mostly, but sometimes rice bubbles).
DD is only 7 months so either has some of my porridge or some avocado on toast. Sometimes will have whatever fruit we have around with jalna but generally I am lazy in the mornings so it is just oats because that is what I have haha.
Vegemite/peanut butter toast or sandwiches, then weetbix most mornings. If I'm feeling energetic I will do eggs for DD and DH if he's home- boiled with soldiers or fried on toast with bacon if we have any or baked beans on toast. Some mornings I will make pancakes, fruit muffins (blueberry/apple/banana with bran) or french toast but that's not often. In winter we have hot porridge.
I'm not a huge fan of breaky and would not eat if I didn't know it's better for me to eat! I have a coffee when we get up at the crack of dawn (usually 5-6am) and then something more substantial at about 8ish. That's when I cook if I feel like it for the kids and DH.
Weetbix and fruit here... For everyone... Kids ones for DS...
With the occasional pancake breaky for me if I can get DH to cook them...
During the week it's cereal (museli or weetbix) with toast and on weekends we have cooked breakfasts. Anything like pancakes, eggs, bacon, french toast, omelettes. Or any combo of them.
We're trying to do the 'big breakfast' thing here, to encourage healthier eating habits for DS at breakfast time as neither of us have them. So on the good days we have
cereal (weetbix and banana for DS, allbran for me).
toast (veg or pb).
yoghurt if we can squeeze it in.
glass of water (or milk for ds).
eating breakfast makes me super starving all day which i have trouble dealing with as i dont get time to really snack at work.
We rotate through a number of breakfast foods, including:
Weetbix (I buy the Weetbix brand for the iron, even tho it has more sugar than Vitabrits)
Porridge
Toast with vegemite (my fave!) and honey
Crumpets
Guardian cereal
Yoghurt with Guardian, muesli or a low-GI cereal like Sustain mixed thru
Of a weekend, DH likes to cook us a hot breaky most sundays. Exploring the wonders of Bircher museli at the moment!
I do buy *those* cereals sometimes, but they tend to be eaten as snacky treats and not with the pretense of healthy breakfast food!
I have either:
Weetbix with skim milk and sliced banana
Toast with reduced fat cheese and banana
Toast with peanut butter
If I'm running late or heading off somewhere, sometimes I have an up and go drink
Occasionally scrambled egg
Occasionally a smoothie - skim milk, I weetbix, I banana, teaspoon milo
We usually have weetbix with soy milk and honey, or baked beans on toast. DH and DS like porridge too but I gag on it.
We have most days porridge with cinnamon, LSA, a little honey or maple syrup and stewed apples.
Some days it's eggs - scrambled with mushrooms.
The kids will have toast with that - I buy Golden Hearth the linseed bread so it's low GI.
I like to send them off with a full tummy so I know they have got fuel in their tanks.
I soak the oats overnight so I just have to light the saucepan and it cooks pretty quick.
On the weekends I make oat cakes with maple syrup, paris creek yoghurt and strawberries. Pretty dang spesh. Sometimes we have bacon - but I buy it from an organic butcher that doesn't use the nitrates...
Most days we have weetbix with fruit or toast. DH sometimes has just right but I don't like it cos it has sultanas in it. DS will sometimes have porridge but mostly it's weetbix. On Sundays I usually cook blueberry or banana pancakes or scrambled eggs on toast.
Most days we are a toast and cereal family, but every Sunday we are a pancake family!!!
We have a few traditions in our house and Sunday mornings are pancake and fruit breakfasts. We use wholemeal flour and linseeds in our pancakes ;) but still use syrup. Yum can't wait for tomorrow :D
Weetibx all around here, unless DH goes for eggs on toast or pancakes! In which case I'm a lonely weetbix eater! lol.
DS has wheat and yeast free muesli with fruit (usually banana, or mango, or berries) and Jalna biodynamic organic yoghurt. Every morning. Without fail. Loves it. Will even happily eat it if we've run out of fruit.
Neither DP or I have ever been breakfast eaters; DP has coffee, I have tea. Occasionally I'll have some fruit, and when I was pregnant I made myself eat muesli. Normally I feel ill if I eat within two hours of waking. :redface:
I eat muesli and yoghurt....excpt I cant have my yoghurt anymore cos we are swaying for a boy :(
Charlotte and DH both eat porridge and green tea for breakfast. If DD is feeling adventurous she has weetbix. The only other cereal we buy is Fibre Plus for me if I get sick of muesli lol
DD has weet-bix every day. Sometimes she has toast with it. I have toast every morning. Tuesdays (my day off) and weekends I try to do a cooked breakfast even if it is just soft boiled eggs and soldiers
I made some french toast with vanilla the other day, OMG, yummo!!! My new favourite breaky!
Everything under the sun.
I made cinnamon french toast on Saturday morning, Sunday morning it was Banana bread with honeycomb butter. This morning I made Continental Bacon & Egg sandwiches for everyone. Tomorrow will probably be weet-bix and honey, and maybe a banana (if I got to the shop tonight - naughty mummy!).
On weekends we will have everything from bacon/ham/salmon eggs... roast tomatoes, persian fetta, spinach with garlic, mushies and hash browns. Something baked (often apple crumble muffins, banana bread, coconut bread, raspberry and coconut muffins/loaf) or french toast, pancakes or similar. When we had a waffle machine we'd add waffles to the list.
I do one hot breakfast a week before school and every other day is cereal and toast/fruit loaf/crumpets/muffins and fruit.
But I have a confession, apart from weekends I don't do breakfast... I'll have a latte and thats it.
OMG, Rouge, *drooool* would you like another family member??? I'd be happy with a temporary weekend spot :D
Me too I am at Rouges house!!!!
Gee Rouge, can you adopt me???
I have porridge with a sprinkle of sugar.
DS has plain porridge, peanut butter sandwiches and juice.
I dont like cooked breakfasts, cant stomach them in the mornings, I have to have my cereal first up.
Me & DD:
Vegemite Toast
Baked Beans on Toast (With or without melted cheese) speaking of which I bought the low salt stuff for DD and tried it myself and baked beans fully need that salt - Blech!
Scrambled Eggs on toast (sometimes bacon)
Porridge an option in Winter
DH loves his gippsland yoghurt with muesli and fruit.
EDIT: Rouge - me too, as soon as I can stomach anything other than vegemite I'm coming to live with you!! Yum, yum. :lol:
During the week Shel has coco pops or milo cereal. I don't bother going off on her because at least she's eating breakfast now before she goes to work, before she quit smoking all she had was a coffee and a smoke :wall:
Weekdays for Jazz and I we have either one of the following:
Porridge
Weet-bix
Fruity weetbix (lol, except thats a sometimes breakfast now :doh:)
Toast with either: vegemite, jam or honey
Yoghurt
Fruit
(if I have breakfast... mostly its just coffee with me)
On the weekends we'll have one hot breakfast, so either pancakes/crepes or scrambled eggs, or bacon and eggs, or french toast or spaghetti/baked beans etc.
I usually have weet-bix with banana, DD has weetbix followed by grapes, DH has vegemite toast... on the odd occasion we will have bacon and eggs on toast when DH feels like cooking it!
I'm watching my apricot trees eagerly as I'll be having fresh apricots off the tree each morning with my yoghurt once they ripen! :lol:
I prefer brekkie over any other meal. DD is usually still eating at morning tea time, first she has her cereal, then fruit, then yogurt, then toast....then we just keep on rolling into morning tea with some fruit and crackers...lol oh and she's a real tea connoisseur too. loves her Russian Caravan ATM.
Bircher muesli for me, DD likes porridge, vitabrits with fruit, cheerios with fruit.
Occasionally we have a cooked brekkie when all of us are available (shift workers here) scrambled eggs, omelettes, pancakes, french toast, banana bread etc
