Champion Breakfasts

katydidthat — Thu, 31 Jul 2014 22:16:18 GMT

A morning meal that satisfies 🙂 🙂 🙂

I just toasted crumpets for my son and I. Mine was crunchy and buttery and tasted yummy.

He'd already had leftover Thai chicken soup with ginger, lol, and an apple.

What do you like eating for breakfast?

I need to be up for at least 1hr before I can think about breakfast, my usual breakfast is a banana smoothie, skim milk, low fat yogurt, honey and a dash of cinnamon.

Freddie ... that sounds daunting to someone who's lactose intolerant 🙂 ... healthy, but 🙂

Kabarine ... love bacon and eggs for breakfast ... with sausages, and a fried egg, and hash browns or thick toast, and a side of mushrooms, and a side of tomatoes and a side of fried tomatoes.

OH YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Eggs Benedict is one of my son's favourites, Lurker. He'd visit this hotel in Kansas City just for the breakfasts ...

Most awesome breakfast menu EVER.

Looks good - I wonder if I could make it there before 11am tomorrow LOL

Question for our North American friends. What is the difference between Canadian bacon and Bacon?

Slice of wholegrain bread with turkey, onion, cucumber, mushrooms, capsicum, olives, baby spinach and swiss cheese toasted under the grill, and a small bowl of fruit.

I don't eat bacon, eggs, tomatoes or pancakes, so pretty much rules me out for those big breakfasts lol.

Lurker ... if you ever find yourself near there, stay a night of two. It's one of my favourite hotels in the whole world.

Simone, that sounds healthy and happy and very close to what we'll be having dinner tonight. I'm caramelising onions at the moment for gourmet steak "sandwiches" with various side dishes.

Another breakfast dish we like is nasi goreng. Basically fried rice. You can leave the fried egg off.

We used to do quite a bit of work in Selma, Oregon.........there was a restaurant there, called the "Boarding House Reach"........their logger's breakfast was to die for..........

Stack of pancakes, with a myriad of syrups, biscuits and gravy, ham, bacon, and sausage, hash browns or country potatoes, eggs any which way, toast with a variety of jams/jellies, orange juice and coffee.

Problem is, after a breakfast like that, everyone wanted to just sit around and rest........

Oh, and I recently found ourt that Trader Joe's has crumpets, but they.re not the quality I remember from my callow youth in Oz.

What is the difference between Canadian bacon and Bacon?

Thanks band. I think I'll stick with bacon then 🙂

Hello Band 🙂

When I was working in London, my boss and I used to go to this "workman's cafe" for breakfast. Everything came with grease and it was all delicious. It's quite easy to make your own crumpets.

Is anyone else a fan of streaky bacon?

Is anyone else a fan of streaky bacon?

Yes but needs to be crunchy.

I try to have different breakfasts during one week.

1. Oatbran cereal.

2. Toasted egg, cheese n tomato sandwich.

3. Apple, banana n orange.

4. Protein shake and fruit.

5. Bacon n eggs on toast.

6. Jam or lime marmalade on toast. (Rose's)

7. Whole grapefruit and glass of chocolate soy milk.

I'm not a breakfast eater and like Freddie, I need to be up at least an hour before I can even think about food. I do need my coffee though, the minute I wake up. Because I have to be to work at 7 a.m. I don't usually eat until lunch time. On Sundays, though, I usually fix my husband and I a big breakfast of bacon, eggs, and fried potatoes with bell peppers and onions. We also sometimes have SPAM instead of bacon. They have come out with a new flavor of SPAM. It is chorizo flavored and is really good. Do they sell SPAM in Australia?

scrambled eggs with mushroom on toast 🙂

Re: Champion Breakfasts

katydidthat — Fri, 01 Aug 2014 04:08:44 GMT

Kopenhagen ... all bacon needs to be crunchy IMO 🙂 my son sometimes eats his with the fat still white ... EWWWWWWWWWWW.

Oh, yes, gotta be Roses.

Lealta ... do you remember that eggxellent restaurant we went to in San Diego for brunch a few times?

Yes, they sell SPAM here ... I can't eat it ... way too salty and processed. My Dad used to like it ... and I must confess I used to like corned beef in a can fried with mashed potatoes (corned beef hash, it's called) ... haven't had that for years.

Re: Champion Breakfasts

katydidthat — Fri, 01 Aug 2014 04:10:34 GMT

Chuk ... how do you make your scrambled eggs ... I might start off making omelettes and they taste like scrambled eggs ... or I might start off making scrambled eggs and they ... well ... they taste ok, just not like scrambled eggs.

Eggs bene with salmon and pumpkinseed bread toast

Re: Champion Breakfasts

katydidthat — Fri, 01 Aug 2014 07:15:14 GMT

Well, I just have to brag. This is the menu of tonight's celebratory dinner.

Fillet steak, dry fried rare, sliced after cooking (2 large).

Bake at home bread rolls.

Caramelised onions (first time I'd made them, took a long time, needed something else)

Devilled eggs with mayo, dijon mustard, and I even used curry powder for the first time in 2 decades.

Potato salad with ranch dressing

Mushroom salad with a vinaigrette dressing

Tomato, cucumber, mushroom salad with fresh coriander and basil, rosemary and oregano.

Black olives, sliced (I love these)

Sweet chilli sauce (tasted great with the steak).

Chopped fresh onion (for me).

Ok, I ate 2 small pieces of steak (it was good, I like fillet steak), and some of the salads. The kid ate the rest of two large pieces of steak and finished off the salads. Any thought I had of leftovers for breakfast vanished.

Apart from the caramelised onions, I could eat all of the above for breakfast ... the onions not because they have a kind of rich taste that goes with later in the day ... and they took about 3 hours to make.
