I get really bored with breakfast food. Any idea's on what is low carb and not loaded with saturated fat and will fill you up?
For about 8 months, I had eggs with cheese and diced ham or bacon bits and I just couldn't stand to eat this everyday. I don't drink coffee. I like to have some carbs for breakfast. I am running out of things to eat for breakfast. Weight Watchers has some breakfast foods out that I may try. I guess it is back to the grocery store for me! BTW, I like something that is easy to make or already made for breakfast. It takes forever for me to wake up in the morning and I am not a morning person.:yawn:Well, you know me!Anything is fair game for breakfast at my house! My current favorite is my cheese crisps with dip of some kind - usually guacamole. The crisps are a lot less fatty than the original cheese, because a lot of fat renders out when they bake - I have to drain them on paper towels when they're done baking.
Sometimes I have just a plain avocado with a dash of salt; sometimes a little bowl of cottage cheese. Usually my breakfasts are fattier than you like though - bacon or sausage & eggs. 'Course my coffee mug is 16oz., so by the time I have my (heavily creamed) coffee, I'm pretty full!![]()
Boy do I hear you! I'm a little more awake in the a.m. than my sidekick over here, but neither of us is any ball of fire. We buy several packages of link sausages & I bake them all up at once in the oven . . . then we have 'em bagged in the freezer to thaw out 2-3 at a time. Takes about 20 seconds in the micro. Can't even fry an egg in 20 seconds! I don't eat ham very often, but we buy whole hams & slice off what we need for a few days at a time & freeze the rest . . . so he has some already sliced if he decides ham's what he wants for his breakfast.I like something that is easy to make or already made for breakfast.

Pancakes with almond flour sounds really good! If you get a chance to get the recipe, I would appreciate it!Boy do I hear you!

Hey - y'know what? I haven't tried 'em, but I hear people say that pancakes made with almond flour are really good . . . how would that be for you? I could try to scare up a recipe if you like. Either pancakes or muffins could be made up ahead, frozen & just warmed in the micro in the morning.
How's this?Pancakes with almond flour sounds really good! If you get a chance to get the recipe, I would appreciate it!
Where do I buy almond flour? I haven't bought a bag of flour in 25 years. Hmm...Shanny, how would you like to vacation a couple of days in Ohio? I need to learn how to cook like you!
Now that would be fun! You'd get pretty fed up with the messes I can make with my cookin'! I think almond flour would be available at any health food store, and if there are places like Trader Joe's or Whole Foods anywhere around there, check those too.Where do I buy almond flour?

Oh that sounds good. I will have to try this. I keep hearing about Greek yogurt, its supposed to be really good, I just haven't tried it yet. Sounds better than the graham crackers and diet coke I had for breakfast!Try some of the greek yogurt. You can strain it overnight and it becomes very thick. Just add some splenda and vanilla extract. Then layer in a parfait glass with blueberry and strawberry mixture.
I tried eating eggs for breakfast but after a fortnight I broke - just not for me! Far too much effort and I had to force them down as well, never been a great breakfast eater! Anyways from there - Fage Greek Yogurt wuth homemade fruit compotes. I make the compotes at the weekend, flavoured with cinnamon, ginger or mixed spices and sweetened with Splenda. It has proved to be a breakfast I can eat every day and actually enjoy. Needs to be authentic Greek yogurt though, as the imitation is much higher in carbs.For about 8 months, I had eggs with cheese and diced ham or bacon bits and I just couldn't stand to eat this everyday.
