Breakfast food is my favorite stuff but I rarely eat breakfast. As I stated in the exercise thread I could eat 2 eggs with hashbrowns every day it is so good. We sometimes make this on the weekends and top the eggs off with some cheese and salsa. Oh baby...
I also love pancakes and waffles. I think Perkins is pretty much a national chain but they have this Deli Ham and Cheese Omelette with SOur cream that you also get a stack of pancakes with. I swear if I ever got the gas chamber this would be my final meal
Then there is cereal. I could also live off of Frosted Flakes with sliced banana and some ice cold milk. I usually eat cereal before I go to bed. I just don't usually have time to eat in the morning and will usually just grab a granola bar and a cup of joe for the road
All hail Breakfast!
-
Breakfast for me is at Midnight beacuse of my shift work.
I just hit the deli on the way to work & pick up ham or roast beef sandwiches or chicken wings. Meal of champions at that time. ;D
-
I didn't appreciate the importance of a good breakfast until I went away to college. Until then I'd ALWAYS had a big meal in the morning, a decent lunch, and a small dinner. With my college schedule, everything went nuts and led to my out-of-shapeness.
Now I'm finally back to the pre-college routine. I usually have bacon and toast, but sometimes I'll grab a quick bowl of cereal and some fruit. And I'm a tea drinker since birth probably, one cup a day. Peanut butter is another food staple of mine. I'll have that anytime.
Then I come to work and chase it all down with my morning Coca-Cola! Ah, SECOND BREAKFAST! ;D
-
I really don't eat breakfast as often as I should. When I do it is usually oatmeal and toast. I hate to say this because of the type of work I do( health supplements) but lately it is a can of 7up and a candybar. At least summer is comming I can get out riding and burn some of the fat off.

Breakfast? What's that?
If you've been following my recent threads regarding my lack of sleep and lack of exercise - you'll notice a trend developing... I'm not exactly the poster boy for good health. Same hold true when it comes to my eating habits (or lack thereof)...
I'm lucky if I eat breakfast once a month. I always grab a cup o' joe at home in the morning, but that's about it. On the infrequent occurrence when we've got any bananas lyin' around, I'll grab one of those and mow it down in the car during my 2 minute commute to work. I'll also occasionally throw a couple slices of cheese in a folded tortilla, nuke it for 23 seconds, and BAM - instant quesadilla! But like I said - maybe once a month.
I usually do try to eat a breakfast/granola bar when I finally get into the office though...
But I do eat cereal from time to time, just in the evenings though. When we're too lazy to make or go out to dinner. # 1 cereal in the world:
Golden Grahams
-
cereal and a bagel with a cup of decaf!
-
Cinnamon Toast Crunch!
Almost every morning.
;D
-
There is a new Frosted Flakes hybrid called something like Tony's Cinnamon Crunch...like most Cinnamon Cereals it suffers IMO from that nasty powdering film that forms in your mouth while eating it. The crunch and the taste though are superb
This sparked my interest in this thread BTW...
-
I love breakfast. I eat it everyday as I always wake up starving. I could live off nothing but breakfast foods if I had too. In fact back in college, they always cereal out during lunch and dinner, and I made sure I always had myself a bowl with every meal. ;D
I'm with OCB on the ham and cheese omelets from Perkins. I get that about 95% of the time I eat there.
-
mmmm breakfast the best meal of the day especially if it's any or almost any sweetened cereal.
-
Well, I'm still protesting the lack of a certain breakfast cereal in either Canada or most of the United States. Therefore, I don't eat breakfast very often at all.
Somebody out there help me. Find me this cereal (http://home.attbi.com/~Frankenberryfans/) PLEASE!
-
That's funny, Morgbug. Besides a few SW figs, you know what I brought back from my vacation to FLA a couple weeks ago?
4 boxes of Cocoa Krispies. Not available in Canada for some inexplicable reason.
Ah, the sorrow of not being able to find your favourite cereal. I know it well.
-
Frankenberry has become seasonal and is made by the fine Minnesota folks at General Mills. Usually only available along with Boo Berry at Halloween I believe only at Target
-
Sounds like it might be a good idea to set up a Cereal Trading Board here as well! Do I hear a second on that idea?! :P
-
AHA! I knew I've seen that cereal in the local Targets before. That would explain why I haven't seen it around for several months though. Looks like you have a little bit of a wait ahead of you Brent before getting your hands on it.
-
I just thought of something else Brent...at the Mall of America there is a pretty large General Mills something or other called Cereal Adventures, I am almost positive they have Frankenberry year round there at a Cereal Bar
http://www.cerealadventure.com/CerealStore.asp
This place says soon you will be able to buy the cereal from the store on-line
One package of Frankenberry = Canadian Vader
I don't know what the rules of shipping food across the border is though, perhaps I could use it as packaging peanuts
-
Everytime I visit the States I come home with a trunk-full of two things star wars and cereal. I'm even bringing back star wars & cereal for my friends at work!
I went searching for Frankenberry in N.Y.
They had it, but I ended up buying Mud & Bugs
cereal instead. :P
Should have gabbed The Franks
-
The link I posted sells it as well, but I thought the price a little steep.
Define Canadian Vader for me Scott.
I will be watching that link you provided in case Frankenberry comes online. The last time I had any must be the last time I went to the US with my parents, so probably some time in the early to mid eighties. It's been a long time coming.
Strangely, my daughter is allergic to strawberries (and nothing else), a gift from my mother. I guess I'll just have to take a bowl and spoon to work with me ;)
Seasonal?! I suppose I couldn't support the sales all by myself. But if I can find it in MOA, a road trip may be in order.
-

If it's the one I'm thinking of (w/ Luke reveal sticker), I called dibs on it a long time ago, so Scott's gonna have to back off and find another Canadian Vader pimp! Morgbug's mine! :-*
But I do greatly appreciate Brent's passion for cereal, 'cause otherwise I wouldn't have all of those silly little freakin' cube heads that come in those Canadian cereal boxes! ;D :P
-
If you are so hard up for the Berry goodness of the Frankenberry cereal a Canadian Dagobah Vader will be ample reward for getting you the goods...you might even have to throw in Matt's wife (who seems to be easy to get in trade) as part of the deal
-
yo yo yo i gotz your franken berries right hereez. Meet me by the oak tree at 3:00 sharp. Don't bring no bang bang, only bling bling.
-
I'm sorry Depmode, I'm old and didn't understand a word you said ;) Just ask Matt, he'll tell ya ;D
Sorry fellas, only one sticker left. Jeez, I even had to open my lowly US carded one so I could see what Luke looked like under there. Nice figure, it is. If I find more, I'll let ya know.
But that would have to be one very big box of cereal. Now, as for Matt's wife....
BTW, anyone need cubes? I still have some left. Waaaaaay too much raisin bran last summer. Talk about load time.
-

I have no idea what I said either, but I'm wit it, word.
-
I usually have a big bowl of cereal every morning and it rotates between Fruity Pebbles and Cocoa Pebbles. It depends on my mood :)
Morgbug...I also saw Frankenberrys at the local Target.
-
I never eat breakfast unless it's a rare occasion. I go for coffee first thing so I can regain motor skills. My first meal is usually in the afternoon. Not the best thing to do, I know, but that's just the way it is. :)

Same here, although some times I'll have a bagel or muffin at work. On weekends, however, I sometimes have breakfast, whether its homemade or at a restaurant.

Anyone tried the new Chocolate Lucky Charms...they taste like Count Chocula :P

I'm up to my ears in frigging Honey Smacks, so I can get all these lightsaber spoons. I took a box to work, and it went pretty frigging quick. I think I have a valid excuse to buy another box now.

How exactly is it different from Count Chocula, other than the colors of the marshmallows?
I haven't had a chance to try that one. Like Famine mentioned, I recently bought a box of Apple Jacks for the Light-up spoon dealy, so I'm working on that one for now...

You want the easy way out? Pour some in the toilet, and flush. They disolve. Simple solution, so you can move onto another box. :-*

Breakfast is often my favorite meal of the day as well, and I'm always up for some "breakfasty" food - pancakes, bacon, eggs, toast, etc. I've always been the type of person that pretty much has to have breakfast, for some reason that is just when I am hungriest, first thing in the morning. We don't normally have the "big breakfast" types of things during the week, just on the weekends if even then. We'll occasionally whip up some pancakes or waffles or french toast....or scrambled eggs and toast type of meal.
During the week, its usually something fairly quick, not too full of calories for the most part. The Mrs. and I are hooked on these chocolate chip "Mini Muffins" which I believe are made by Hostess. They are taste-tastic. We eat cereal fairly regularly as well, with Honey Nut Cheerios probably being the most common. We've got several boxes of various cereals in the pantry right now we're working on "cleaning up". I think right now we have the following: Star Wars cereal ;), Froot Loops, Honey Nut Cheerios, Cheerios, Lucky Charms, Frosted Flakes, Wheaties, and perhaps Rice Krispies. Other than that, it is often Cherry Pop Tarts or occasionally toast (with cinnamon/sugar or peanut butter). Oh, and milk and OJ, both staples at our house. I've actually been able to go through 2 gallons of skim milk a week ever since I was in jr hi/high school on my own :P.
As for those chocolate Lucky Charms...haven't tried them yet. I'm a fan of the regular version, but I've just never been a big "chocolate cereal" person for some reason. Maybe because we didn't have it in the house when I was a kid really. I have had a few types over the years, but I just don't seem to eat it much. My wife likes Cocoa Pebbles and Cocoa Puffs though. I've always wanted to try that Boo Berry, we see it in Targets around here from time to time as well. I've never had it, but have a friend who swears it is the bees' knees.

Yeah its the same, just colored Marshmallows, I can see the future already...Strawberry and Blueberry Lucky Charms...mark my words (and hopefully Brent can get some) :)

I've been reading all these things about yogurt lately, and how its good for you this way and that. These smoothie things are actually really tasty, have some calories to tide over hunger, and this kind is organic, so it doesn't have questionable looking ingredients.
There's a new Star Wars cereal out? I'm there. I don't care how un-organic it is.
-
Yes, I saw that at the local Grocery Store the other night. We tend to alternate every other week with our on-line Grocer and the big MegaMarket since Produce is a lot cheaper at Cub Foods

People drop your groceries off to you? Wow.
I think I'd prefer to chose my own groceries from the store, myself.

Yeah, its slick as hell I tell you. And would you prefer shopping with a 3 year old and 1 year old asking for this and that and this and that for the whole time you're there, too?

I take my two 8 and 9 year old sisters to Wal*Mart, into the toy isle. Try me. :-*
Well, at least I don't have to change diapers.
