Would anyone like to share their favorite Breakfast meal with me? I am looking for new ideas to serve in the mornings. Eggs, homemade hashbrowns and sausage are getting pretty old.........

We don't ever have anything exciting here. Sometimes I'll make omelets, and even more rarely biscuits and gravy.

I rarely dabble in breakfast making (just eggs and pancakes on weekends sometimes) but I do extensively use websites
. Check out this link to see if there's anything that interests you:

The ratings and reviews are nice features. I've used a few recipes from this site with pretty good luck.

Thank you Viki, once summer is in full swing, I will be making fruit pizza and stuff, but unripened fruit on fruit pizza spoils the taste!

You're killing me! Last week I thought I was treating myself when I stole a bowl of my kids' Lucky Charms!

This is really good when company is coming or you have big plans for the day because you can prepare it the night before and just pop it in the oven in the morning! You can also use any breakfast meat with this recipe - I've had it with sausage or bacon and it is good with any of them!

Baked Ham & Egg Breakfast

3 cups cubed ham
1/2 lb. cheddar or american cheese, grated
3 cups cubed french bread
3 Tblsp melted margerine
3 Tblsp flour
1 Tsp. dry mustard
4 eggs
3 cups milk

In 9x13" pan, layer ham, cheese and bread. Drizzle margerine over this. Combine flour and mustard; sprinkle on. Beat eggs, add milk. Pour over. Cover and refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight. Bake 1 hour at 350 or until puffy. Serves 8.

if you have kids, it might be fun to add a little food coloring to pancakes. say, if you use blue color, add some blueberries in the mix. or add fruit and whip cream to waffles. yum! my fav is what my grandma would always make when i would spend the night when i was a little girl. oats and toast. not the instant kind, the real stuff. add some butter, sugar and a little milk on top.

I really like an old favorite of sailors. SOS, aka creamed beef on toast, but I do it a lot easier. Brown some ground chuck, get or make some white gravy, mix it together and spread it over toast. Pioneer brand gravy is pretty good for it. I have a recipe for a really good egg and potato pie. If I can find it, I'll post it.

My mom always used to do the colored pancakes for special occasions, like pink for Valentine's Day, Green for St. Patty's, etc. It was fun.

We would do SOS the same way Krazy Kat! Hamburger with white gravy on toast. Dad called it Slop on a Shingle or S$%@ on a Shingle when we were older. It's really good and really fast.

I love an overflowing bowl of fruit loops!!

The most gormet I get for breakfast is eggs, toast, and bacon. (on occasion) Fruit pizza??? Sounds....interesting I guess. But let's face it, I can barely cook a dinner...so I don't think I'll be making the fruit pizza or anything else. Gotta love good old fruit loops! Just add milk, and enjoy. Ah, the simple life...

Falling Rain, I'm with you on the fruit loops!

What about breakfast tacos? Over here we call them taquitos. You can make them is such a variety like:

Egg, sausage & cheese
Egg, bacon & cheese
Egg and potatoe (hasbrowns)

Some people like to add chopped peppers to give them a kick.

All wraped in a flour tortilla.

Mmm . . . breakfast burritos!

I like some egg and cheese and salsa, sometimes crumbled sausage, mushrooms, or rice. I mix most of it into the egg, except the cheese - unless it's shredded - and the salsa. Okay, I'm hungry now! :tounge2: Just dropped my daughter off at school and haven't eaten yet today.

My mother used to make porridge for us, which we also ate with brown sugar and milk. I always wondered why she called it porridge and everyone else called it Quaker Oats! Also she made something called Welsh rarebit, which I have also heard called Welsh Rabbit, if my dad asked her to. I didn't like the sharp cheese in it, so I have no recipe, but if it sounds good to you, the library will read a recipe for you. I don't know if people make it here, or just in the U.K.
Of course, I thought everyone ate creamed tripe too, which is actually very good! Don't ask what it is!

What on earth are moon eggs????????

I usually just end up with a cup of tea and some biscuits. If we're pushing the boat out, I'll have crunchy nut cornflakes, or on really special occasions, bacon sarnies.

Boring huh??
