Let’s be honest here

Welcome back! Coffee's always on around here. Pull up your favorite chair and a grab a cup. Enjoy your visit today! And don't forget to stop back by again soon.

Breakfast is overrated.

I hate breakfast foods. Really, I do. I’m allergic to eggs, don’t like pancakes or sausage, can’t stand oatmeal or cold cereal, don’t eat bacon. I mean, what’s left after that? Hashbrowns? Who wants to eat hashbrowns every. single. day. Not me.

Waffles are okay – I like them, but as a mom of 4 children, who has time (or energy) to make waffles before school? I sure don’t. I already get up at 6:00am insanely early (for me, anyway, being a nightowl) and I refuse to get up any earlier just to cook. LOL

Okay then, what does one eat for breakfast?

Nothing.

Yes -I know, I know – everyone says it’s imperative to eat *something* for breakfast when you’re loosing weight. And yet, I usually just can’t. Nothing is appetizing at 6:00am.

But 10:00am? My stomach is ready for food at 10. Maybe it’s because it was conditioned to eat at 10 because that was our scheduled “lunch” time all during high school. I can eat lunch at 10 am. Or, I mean, breakfast. ;-)

Then again, maybe it has to do with that nightowl thing. I mean, if you get up 9 or 9:30, then 10 is the perfect time for breakfast.

And who says you have to breakfast food for breakfast? Is that a rule somewhere? I thought food was . . . well, food. You eat it, right? Who cares then?

Fruit is good. Ham sandwiches are good. Toast with almond butter is good. And smoothies. I can do smoothies. Or granola with a little warm hemp milk.

If you’re not a breakfast person (or even if you are), what do you try to eat for breakfast? And when? Early or later, like me?

I’m curious to know how you all handle the breakfast thing.

If it were up to me, there would not even be a thing called breakfast. LOL We’d skip right to lunch about noon or so and go on from there.

So, there’s my rant for today! Please . . . share your thoughts with me in the comments.

Until later -

Be blessed,

  • I *heart* toast. None of that cheap-o bread, either. Good, high-grain, whole-grain types. Plus real or fake butter.

    The kids get oatmeal. Or cereal. Always with frozen fruit and organic milk and turbinado or brown sugar.

    And I'm up by 5:45. I eat when I get to work at 8a. :)
    Also, hi. Nice to meet you.
  • Hi Miss Ash!

    Great to see you here. Thanks for stopping by!

    Yes, toast. I often end up eating toast because, well . . . what else is there? LOL And I agree - none of the cheap-o crapola. I often buy a high-fiber, whole grain bread as well. Usually I end up with butter but once in a while, I go for raspberry jam instead.

    I'm just tired of toast.

    Funny thing is - I used to be able to eat the same thing every day for a meal and never think twice about it. Lately, though, I want variety. haha Maybe it's because everything else in my life is so regimented what with an autistic 11 year old!

    I wake up around 5:30, get out of bed at 6:00 and from then until 8:15, it's all about getting kids ready for school and off on their respective buses. Once I get them all out the door, I can a take shower and what-not and am finally ready to eat breakfast by 9-ish. And nothing is ever appetizing.

    I think, why bother? But then my stomach is hollering so I end up with toast. ;-)
  • Hey, fruits always go well for breakfast. Just don't skip breakfast as much as you can.

  • Hi Jane,

    Any particular type of fruit you like best? I don't eat bananas or oranges but I do like apples. They're a little harsh first thing in the morning, though. Melons are good but not too readily available this time of year.

    Thanks for stopping by!
