goodeats Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 I thought about eating cupcakes this morning (from Sprinkles - not bad) and then thought about what was the strangest thing or most atypical thing I had for breakfast. I am not sure I could come up with anything other than cupcakes or jello or something like, but wondered about the rest of you all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zoramargolis Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 I frequently eat bread and cheese (blue, goat, or something pungent) and tomato. my friend Julia Watson, who lived in Moscow, says that I eat cheese for breakfast because I'm Russian. but sometimes, it's cause I'm rushin'. <sorry> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sick of the same-old, same-old breakfast, so this was something a bit different that filled me up without weighing me down. It's a keeper.

lperry Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 Arepas with scrambled eggs and pecorino romano cheese. Nothing terribly exotic, but I did want to share that a Cuisinart Griddler makes fabulous arepas with the smooth sides of the plates out and the setting on high. No need for baking in the oven.

Anna Blume Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 After hearing just a little bit of an interview with the author of Thrive, I've been following his advice for breakfast for the past couple of days: high carbohydrates and omega-threes. Orange, oatmeal w dried apples, cranberries, cinnamon and toasted, ground flax seeds w milk yesterday in the dark, and today, surrounded by the song of a thousand birds, overlooking a trellis of wisteria, white, pink, periwinkle and magenta blossoms amidst pale shades of green: a variation of the same more suitable for warmer weather w grapefruit and Cherrios, slivers of toasted walnuts replacing flax. I suspect spring does more than nutritional combination, but . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anna Blume Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 Buttermilk ice cream with blueberries, black raspberries, and red raspberries. I think summer fruits are my favorite foods ever... except ice cream. Including tomatoes! Peach Egg in Purgatory made w Vidalia and a large greenhouse tomato Buttered slice of sunflower-flax seed toast (sour, but not fishy) Greek-style yogurt w honey, golden raspberries, black raspberries & a few blackberries Coffee Sam of Toigo overheard in conversation w shoppers at market yesterday, explaining why they might have found the first of the season's peaches this weekend, but not at the stand of this farm. Not just a matter of Pennsylvania (Toigo) vs. West Virginia (e.g., Spring Valley) since Twin Springs of PA also was selling a few. Matter of variety and type: the early peaches are all cling, that is, the flesh of the peach clings tight to the pit and they tend to be not as sweet and flavorful as the later varieties of freestone peaches whose flesh shrinks away from the pit as the fruit ripens. Brought a few clings home anyway since they are indeed ripe, my favorite fruit and like a voice crying in the wilderness, harbingers of summer's glory and the coming of the Sun on earth.

monavano Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 Feeling market-inspired, I took my one lonely pizza dough ball and made a breakfast pizza of (Red Apron) pastrami, (Coulter) swiss, (Coulter) egg, (Blue Ridge) smoked and fresh mozzarella and evoo. It would have been DAYUUUUUUUM good, but I overcooked the eggs on top. Eh, I'll make more pizza and figure it out! I have to say, the Red Apron pastrami is wonderful. The fat is meltingly tender and packed with even more flavor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
