You wanted a poor mans breakfast except this one can be healthy as well and wont expand your gut like a full english will. Full english meaning that you get a whole "fry up" of bacon, sausages, tomato, toast and beans.
Its also a low glycemic index food as well and acts like a slow release fertilizer rather than loading you up with sugars and then having to come crashing down an hour and half later | |

Posted: 5/29/2009 9:20:51 PM | One my kids favorite breakfasts was bread pudding. I would add whatever I had on hand. Raisons, chopped apples, and cinnamon were favorites. When the pears from the back yard were ripe I used chopped pears, cinnamon, ginger, and cloves. Sometimes I made it with cinnamon and no fruit and would top each serving with a small scoop of vanilla ice cream. Kids go absolutely nuts over ice cream at breakfast!
I never used an exact recipe, but fill a 1 1/2 quart cassorole dish with cut up stale bread layered with any fruit you're using. In a separate bowl whisk together 1 or 2 eggs, cinnamon or other spices if using, about a 1/4 cup of sugar, and about a cup of milk. Pour the milk mixture over the bread and add enough milk to not quite cover the top of the bread. Squoosh the bread down into the milk slightly, it has a tendancy to float, and sprinkle the top with cinnamon and sugar. Bake 350 degrees until the top is nicely browned. (I can't remember how long this takes lol) Serve warm. A wonderful treat on a cold morning!
Living in Texas I have come to love breakfast tacos. Choriso, eggs and cheese. Or refried beans, eggs, fried potatoes, bacon, and cheese. Or potatoes, eggs and cheese, or sausage, egg, and cheese. ohhhh the list goes on and on. And of course a good salsa on all of them! | |

Tear up 2 slices home-made bread into cereal bowl
Pour some hot water over all, then quickly drain off
Voila! Add milk, some sugar ..... and yes! I & my sibs enjoyed it!
Sometimes ...... there was porrridge, baked in the oven.

Posted: 7/13/2009 1:09:52 PM | I love this post ... long may it continue ... it's been over 2 years already!
I was surprised NOT to hear Spam mentioned! when I was a kid, we had Spam, pancakes and eggs almost every weekend ... weekdays, we had oatmeal instead! sometimes with raisins ... when we were really lucky, someone caught enuf fish that we had fish fries for breakfast!
I currently shop at a store called the "Grocery Outlet" ... they take in foods other stores didn't want, over-bought, couldn't sell ... whatever ... you can't count on them to have ANYTHING ... it's more or less like a treasure hunt! so after you shop there, you hae to go to a "real" store to fill in the gaps!

Posted: 7/13/2009 2:47:35 PM | was thinking about a breakfast dish I prepared some time back when a bunch of my kids were coming home (with THEIR kids) and I didn't want to spend valuable visiting time slaving alone in the kitchen ...
I mixed together a conglomination of torn up pieces of cinnamon raisin BAGELS ... into the buttered pan ... poured on a mixture of milk, sugar, eggs, cinnamon and nutmeg ... and let it just rest in the frig till the kids arrived ... baked it for maybe 45 minutes or so at probably 350 or so ... and they had French style cinnamon toast ... somewhat different than what I made when they were children ... but much easier ...
it turned out perfect ... much to my surprise! (my children harbor the delusion that I'm a good cook ... it's just the way they remember it!)

Posted: 7/16/2009 1:52:26 PM | HOMEMADE WAFFLES TO FREEZE FOR LATER
This is so easy it's stupid! Make your own waffles! Much tastier, healthier and easier than the pre-fab frozen ones you buy that taste like shoe and syrup. The batter is ultra easy:
1 3/4 cups flour (whole wheat is okay, too)
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
2 eggs
1 3/4 cups milk
1/2 cup oil or melted butter
1 teaspoon vanilla
1. Combine dry ingredients in large bowl.
2. In a separate bowl, beat wet ingredients and then add to dry, stirring just until moist.
3. Cook on pre-heated waffle iron until waffles are browned and test done.
After cooking, cool - then wrap well in plastic wrap, then baggie them. These are easy to warm up whenever you want a quickie breakfast/snack on the go! And NOT expensive ... duh! | |

Posted: 7/17/2009 11:49:56 AM | an on-the-run inexpensive breakfast I make for myself most summer mornings is a fruit smoothie ... I live in central California where fruit is inexpensive, frequently free from everyone's backyard trees ... when fruit gets ripe, there's always too much so we share with co-workers and neighbors ...
I put one banana, one cup of crushed ice and water ... and either a couple packages of diet sweetener or maybe 2 tablespoons of powdered sugar into the blender ...
when that's blended, I dump in half a bag of frozen fruit ... while it's still frozen ... whatever frozen fruit that's on sale at the discount store ... or chunked up fuits I've frozen from off the trees (free!) ... so maybe 8 oz.? of frozen fruit chunks ... and blend that ... keep the lid on or you'll have a huge mess (voice of experience!) ... I LOVE blueberries, strawberries, blackberries or my personal favorite ... dark red cherries!
SOMETIMES, I add a splash of whatever kind of milk ... in my case, soya milk or rice milk ... cuz I'm allergic to the proteins in cow's milk ...
that makes a HUGE, GINORMOUS fruit smoothie ... it's cheap ... very filling! and icy cold ... so it cools down my body on a hot summer morning and that takes extra energy to melt the ice ... so there's an added bonus if dieting ... or "slimming"!!!
("slimming" sounds so much more positive than "dieting"!) | |
