mysticwolf 10692 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 08-21-06, 01:07 AM (EST) "Food Thread - Breakfast , Recipes, & New Finds" Talking about pea meal back bacon, breakfast, Pres. Choice, junk food, and possible new finds (junk food, or not), made me wonder... 1) What is your breakfast habit? 2) What is your favorite breakfast? 3) Do you have a favorite breakfast that's quick & easy to make, and could be good for any family meal? Tell. 4) (Totally non-breakfast related, if you like) Have you found a really good packaged food lately? ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 1) Me? I hate breakfast. If, by that, you mean something eaten close to awakening. I need some time before my body will accept food, or the smell of food. Usually, it's just water or maybe a swallow ot two of Mountain Dew (with the rest reserved for later). 2) I already posted about my lvoe of pea meal back bacon on toast with a side of tomatoes and crisp hashbrowns. Another is simply cold cuts and/or cheese (maybe with potato chips). "Normal" breakfast is nothing, or cheese & chips, or an olive or two (maybe with the chips & cheese). I'm weird, I know. 3) From a B&B we stayed at for years... English muffin, split, both sides lightly covered with mayonaise. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and oregano. Top with layer of thinly sliced zucchini, thin tomato slice, pre-cooked bacon (crisp), and cheddar cheese. Broil until cheese is melted and bubbling. (Those first two I can actually stomach shortly after awakening, if I must - particularly if someone else cooks them. Or, at any meal.) 4) Fresh Express Asian Salad Supreme. Greens, snap peas, cabbage, carrots, crispy wontons, dried cherries, and a ginger/lemon dressing. This stuff is good! (Someone else makes a packaged Asian Salad, too. I was disappointed with theirs.) I know my breakfast habits aren't exactly healthy. Other than eggs (which I can't stand unless egg salad or deviled) what do you suggest? (And, what's a fast main dish or side that you've discovered? As I don't like breakfast, I'm all about trying to make my other meals make up for it. ) Pack Alpha Status Accorded by Tribe blogging's scary   Top

Snidget 44369 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 08-21-06, 10:10 AM (EST) 6. "RE: Food Thread - Breakfast , Recipes, & New Finds" 1) What is your breakfast habit? I have to have breakfast soon after getting up or I get really sick. Typically I do a carb heavy breakfast along the lines of cereal and fruit or toast (although I like a piece of cheese with the toast rather than fruit) or bagels. I do sometimes do a eggs, right now I usually do a 2 egg omelet with some onion and other veggies with a bit of cheese or I steam the eggs in the steamer to just before they get hard. I don't like runny yolks, but I like them before they get all the way hard. 2) What is your favorite breakfast? Eggs scrambled with onion and cheese served with hashbrowns, and bacon on the side. Or Hashbrowns at Waffle House smothered and covered. 3) Do you have a favorite breakfast that's quick & easy to make, and could be good for any family meal? Tell. I've not made one, but I like it when I'm at someone's house with one of those make ahead bake the morning of breakfast casseroles. It is too much to make for just me. 4) (Totally non-breakfast related, if you like) Have you found a really good packaged food lately? Kashi is one of my favorite brands. I like the frozen dinners they have come out with recently. I also lvoe the crackers they make. Also anything by Thai Kitchen (it all has way more sodium than I should have but for add some water and nuke stuff it is really tasty and the soups are better than the instant ramen stuff)   Top

Nolay LOVES Waffle House & gets very sad when we can't find one on vacation. He likes hashbrowns with EVERYTHING...smothered, covered, capped, topped, you name it. Then he throws a few eggs on top & chops them up (*stomach ache*). I have to admit, I also like Waffle House.   Top

"RE: Food Thread - Breakfast , Recipes, & New Finds" Mmmm nothing like talking about food when I've been up most of the night on a nausea-filled stomach. >1) What is your breakfast habit? Coffee and more coffee once I get up. If I'm in the mood, will have some cereal (Shreddies with a chopped-up banana) or a 12-grain bagel with butter. On weekends, I'll sometimes go a little more all-out with a big fat omelette or some eggs, bacon and sausage -- I average about every other weekend for this kind of breakfast. >2) What is your favorite breakfast? Pancakes with berries, crispy bacon, sausages and a couple of over-easy eggs. >3) Do you have a favorite breakfast that's quick & easy >to make, and could be good for any family meal? Tell. A favourite is to cut open a croissant and dip it in some egg mixed with a dash of milk and cook it like a french toast. Add some syrup. Ta da, only takes a couple of mins, and the croissant adds a really different flavour from the typical french toast bread. And looks more stylish. I've made omelettes for dinner before -- with omelettes, I can fry some chopped up ham for a couple mins to get it nice and hot, then throw it into a mix of eggs, or I can zap some bacon in the microwave since I'm less fussy about how bacon appears and then throw it into the egg mixture. If I'm cooking bacon on its own, I gotta fry it but for omelettes, I can just zap it in the microwave for a shorter period of time. >4) (Totally non-breakfast related, if you like) Have you >found a really good packaged food lately? We've discovered the Thai Kitchen line of goods, just add some chicken to the Thai peanut satay or curry seasoning (or one of about four other seasoning choices). Quicker than doing it from scratch with own spices/flavouring, although I'm sure it's not quite as natural. A Tribe siggie "Tsk, tsk. Pepe's messing with the newbies again." Spidey, 3/30/05   Top

"RE: Food Thread - Breakfast , Recipes, & New Finds" LAST EDITED ON 08-21-06 AT 09:45 AM (EST) >1) What is your breakfast habit? I can't usually eat breakfast as my stomack is always slightly nauseated for the first few hours after I awake. I drink coffee (2 cups only) every morning. If I'm at home for the day, I'll have some OJ a bit later. Then nothing until lunch. If I'm at work, I usually take a granola bar with me to munch on around 10am. >2) What is your favorite breakfast? If I eat breakfast (usually only happens on vacations), it's Eggs Benedict. Love Eggs Benedict. Though I'd rather have them for lunch. >3) Do you have a favorite >breakfast that's quick & easy >to make, and could be >good for any family meal? >Tell. My mom used to make apple and corn fritters for breakfast on Sundays. If my dad was working second shift and she had a lot of things to do after she got home from work, she'd sometimes make these for us for dinner. Now you've made me hungry for them! And I have no idea how to make them! I haven't had them since she was diagnosed with bone cancer and I never thought to get her to tell me how to make them before she died. *big regrets on that one* >4) (Totally non-breakfast related, if you >like) Have you found a >really good packaged food lately? Since I've settled into the single life, I'm ashamed to admit I haven't cooked dinner for myself (even from a package) in months. I usually eat a huge lunch and then have an apple with peanut butter for dinner these days. Edited to fix HTML.   Top

weltek 16936 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 08-21-06, 10:14 AM (EST) 7. "RE: Food Thread - Breakfast , Recipes, & New Finds" 1) What is your breakfast habit? During the week: Toast or an english muffin with Brummel & Brown & sometimes jelly, 1 piece of fruit. We eat in the car. Weekends: 1 day of cereal, 1 day of a traditional big breakfast...contents vary. 2) What is your favorite breakfast? Country Kitchen has a yummy skillet breafast I love. At home or most restaurants: Omelet with a side of hashbrowns & bacon. Or, for holidays we often make a breakfast casserole with eggs, bread, cheese, ham & buttery cornflakes on the top. 3) Do you have a favorite breakfast that's quick & easy to make, and could be good for any family meal? Tell. Not really anything special. I want to start making fritatas, though. 4) (Totally non-breakfast related, if you like) Have you found a really good packaged food lately? Hmmm...I havne't bought much packaged food lately. I did get some Kashi granola bars in Pumpkin Spice & they were good. They are the crunchy kind, though...not my favorite, but better for me than the gooey ones. That's Asian salad sounds divine! I'll keep an eye out!   Top

If I'm at home my first actual meal is usually dinner, served around 8. Anything earlier is usually a piece of cheese, or maybe an olive or two. About the only time I eat an actual meal earlier is if I'm buying a lunch in the zoo (or, formerly, my plant) cafeteria. Although, back when I worked at the plant I did occassionally give into temptation and get a breakfast of biscuits and sausage gravy with crisp bacon and hashbrowns on the side. I referred to it as a heart attack on a plate. Pack Alpha Status Accorded by Tribe blogging's scary   Top

Sleep in as late as possible without being late for work and therefore, have no time for breakfast. I love breakfast foods but I like sleeping more. 2) What is your favorite breakfast? Eggs benedict (nice if someone else makes it, but I make my own version too that I like a lot) but I am also happy with omelettes, muffins or croissants, peaches and cream instant oatmeal, cold cereals such as Cheerios, or Corn Flakes with banana, Special K red berry cereal, french toast (Trader Joes makes a low fat one that is easy-peasy and I will eat in the car sometimes on the way to work), Mintz's Blintzes (yummy "dairy free cheese filled crepes" aka tofu also from Trader Joes), peach yogurt, bagels and lox... oh wait, you asked for our favorite, not our favoriteS. I will eat these as breakfast, brunch, lunch, linner, dinner (and the blintzes also as dessert). 3) Do you have a favorite breakfast that's quick & easy to make, and could be good for any family meal? Tell. I vote for Mintz's Blintzes with fruit. Really yummy. See Trader Joes. 4) (Totally non-breakfast related, if you like) Have you found a really good packaged food lately? I am really enjoying Rosetto Frozen Chicken and Herb Ravioli. Since I am not a good cook and live alone, I like to find really quick and easy (nuke and eat) foods. These are yummy, low fat and easy! Unrelated - if you live anywhere near a Burgerville, I highly recommend the wild coho salmon salad with hazelnuts. I find it hard to believe a fast food place offers such a wonderful find.

frodis 4442 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Jerry Springer Show Guest" 08-22-06, 04:01 PM (EST) 20. "RE: Food Thread - Breakfast , Recipes, & New Finds" I started to reply to this yesterday, got distracted, and gave up. Then, today I had a conversation about breakfast with some coworkers at lunch, so I figured I'd come back and post anyway. 1) What is your breakfast habit? I used to fall into the camp of a non-breakfast eater, because like many people have said, I tended to be a little nauseaus right when I woke up. For some reason, in the last few years that has stopped happening, and I'm much more inclined to eat breakfast, now. I actually think that better hydration has stopped my icky stomach, although I have nothing scientific to back that up. Breakfast is now my favorite meal, although old habits die hard and I usually don't get up early enough at home to eat it and make it out the door on time. 2) What is your favorite breakfast? Fruit-filled crepes. I make tasty crepes, very very thin and delicate. I'll eat crepes in a restaurant, but I don't like them as much as my own. Or, cookies. I lvoe cookies. Too bad they're not breakfast food. (If DH and I eat a non-breakfast food for breakfast, like cookies or pie, we call it "concentrated donut." Which kind of makes it like breakfast food, sorta.) My favorite part of going on vacation is eating a big, lazy breakfast and then not eating again until around 4pm when I have a light supper. When I travel for business I enjoy hanging the little card on the door of my hotel room at night, and waking up to room-service eggs, toast, bacon, hashbrowns, juice and coffee. 3) Do you have a favorite breakfast that's quick & easy to make, and could be good for any family meal? Tell. Grilled tomatoes. They're delicious with ham, on an english muffin. Add a little cheese if you like. They're good with scrambled eggs, too, if you like eggs. My family has a recipe that sounds gross, but tastes good - you cube up a bunch of bread and toast it in a buttered skillet like you're making croutons, only once they get toasty you pour in a bunch of beaten eggs, and scramble it all up together. (We call it "egg cubes." My mom likes them with salt and pepper, dad likes them with syrup. Sound gross? I agree. But, it's tasty!) 4) (Totally non-breakfast related, if you like) Have you found a really good packaged food lately? I found some little lunch-portions of asian noodles in little chinese-take-out-shaped boxes. (I'm blanking on the name. Shoot.) They even come with a fork. I don't eat them for lunch, though - I stir-fry some chicken and flash-frozen veggies in a skillet, and then serve it with these noodles, and it makes for a nice, fast, dinner for two.

They carry a lot of specialty food items, and in general they're fairly inexpensive. Their frozen foods are my favorites. They have good dried fruits, and interesting meats and cheeses, too. They also have a really good variety of vegetarian options, as well as no-fat, non-dairy, etc. My favorite item? It sounds simple, but they sell a one-pound bag of flash-frozen, sliced red/green/yellow peppers that are perfect to keep in the freezer and use in a pinch in chili, stews, on sandwiches, whatever.

"RE: Trader Joe's" LAST EDITED ON 08-22-06 AT 05:34 PM (EST) Tis a "wonder" market in the california area. Lot's and lots of imported, organic and small farm products. Cheese and produce sections are outstanding as is their dried fruits and nuts section. I could spend all day deciding how many pounds of Marcona almonds or Spanish pistachios I should buy. (I decide on 2 lbs of each.) Not to mention their "packaged food" section. Their gorgonzola and pear pizzettes are to die for. I love their frozen potato latkes and goatcheese tarts and don't even get me started on the chimmichuri sauce or the roasted pepper hummus. MMMmmmm. Even my dog likes to go there as they have his favorite "freeze-dried" goose livers available. He could eat a whole bag in one sitting, if I'd let him.   Top

"*drool*" Don't know if they still have it, but the one in Eagle Rock in NE LA had the gooiest, stickiest, cinnamon rolls/bread around. Sugar shock for days, but well worth it.

It varies. I usually have breakfast at the office. It can be a bowl of cereal with fruit (especially in the summer - peaches or blueberries), oatmeal or cream of wheat, or a Carnation Instant Breakfast. There are occasions when I will grab a bagel. I sometimes cook breakfast on the weekends. It varies. Or we'll go out. 2) What is your favorite breakfast? Depends. I love omelettes. And lately, I've been on a spinach, tomato and cheese omelette. But I also love scrambled eggs with cheese, bacon, toast and some sort of home fries. I like to have two pieces of toast. One I will use to make a bacon, egg and cheese sandwich. The other I will put jelly on. I also love to make toast, butter it, put sliced cheddar cheese on it and then make an egg with the white hard and the yolk soft. The cheddar and the yolk are wonderful together. 3) Do you have a favorite breakfast that's quick & easy to make, and could be good for any family meal? Tell. I just did. You could also make breakfast burritos. Tortillas Cheese slices Eggs Crumbled Sausage Tomatoes Green Chilis Salt and Pepper Cook the sausage first. You can probably buy that rolled sausage and scramble it up like ground beef. Then add the tomatoes and chilis and salt and pepper. Then pour the eggs in and scramble that. Heat the tortilla, put the cheese in and add the egg mixture. You can also do different variations with ham, potatoes, etc. You can make it as hot or mild as you want. 4) (Totally non-breakfast related, if you like) Have you found a really good packaged food lately? I love those Bertolli frozen pasta dishes. They take about 10 minutes to heat up in a skillet and you can serve it with a salad. Thanks Tribe!   Top
