Hello,
I would like to know what you take for breakfast. I take a coffee, brioche and jam. As this forum several nationality, several habituds are represented, it seems interesting to know your habits. So that you take every morning? If you're in a hurry or if you have time like the weekend for example ?
See you soon

I'm a porridge person - with added extras - grains, protein powder (as I am a vegetarian), blueberries, LSA with Chia. My husband loves CADA with blueberries for breakfast. If we have time we occasionally go out for a leisurely breakfast at the weekend and I will nearly always order Eggs Florentine (even though my own home made one is better - this way someone else gets to do the washing up).
-
Some times I will have cereal or toast and other times I will have nothing.
My DH will quiet often have a cooked breakfast on a weekend when he has extra time but I have never been able to stomach cooked breakfast at all. The smell even turns me off.
-
Most mornings it's cereal for me, porridge in winter. Sometimes I have tomato on toast.
At the weekend we usually have a cooked breakfast. Eggs Benedict (DH favourite) or maybe just boiled eggs and soldiers.

sorry Yoz i lied , this morning i baked a new bread recipe from nonomix
so i really needed to try it :-))
-
That looks delicious, Fundj - I'm very envious of your cooking abilities.
-
Thanks Cuilidh . i never made bread or sweets b4 i found this great place to hung out and learn.
still have no luck when it comes to a roast >:(
-
Uni, with your cooking skills you could easily cook a roast. I will help you if you want to have a go , and Judy is a master at using the BBQ for roasts.
Breakfast here is varied. I like to make my own muesli or sometimes will try a new bread , toasted. Also, we have plenty of home made jam. If the GC are staying, they like pancakes. We don't often have a cooked breakfast at home. If we are traveling, and staying at a nice hotel we have the full breakfast, but then only have 2 meals for the day. Last week we stared at Rick Steins Lodge at Mollymook and I had smoked kippers for breakfast. They also had house made French pastries.

Yoz, this is an interesting discussion. We do have a breakfast section here (http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?board=43.0) which you may like to browse for some of our recipes. If I have this (http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=803.0) recipe of Breakfast Hash in the fridge, I love to have it for breakfast with or without an egg depending on what time of day it is. Normally though it is a piece of toast with either vegemite or sliced tomatoes or occasionally a bowl of cereal if I am in a hurry and even more occasionally a bowl of porridge. I do like some of the toasted muesli recipes that have appeared in our latest recipe books here in Australia, For Food's Sake in particular has an absolute little beauty. For more leisurely breakfasts it is quite common here for people to get together for brunch where the meal is far more substantial. My DH just wants cereal with cold milk every single day of his life - like Dede, he cannot stomach a cooked breakfast but will happily eat a full cooked breakfast for tea ;D
-
Breakfast used to be the most boring meal of the day for me, but thankfully I'm loving it now because I've varied it a little:
Granueslie (Tenina's) & yoghurt
Weetbix smoothie (JD's)
Amy's Super Yummy Breakfast Berry Smoothie (from here)
Egg on toast
Burcher Muesli (in winter)
Porridge cooked in the MW (in winter)
Vegemite on toast if kids have eaten everything

I eat dried fruit and nuts for breakfast with some milk ( as if it was cereal )
Chookie you should put it "out there " when your tripping around I live in the Mollymook area I would have loved to catch up.
-
Normally I have 2 coffees and toast. Avocados on toast at the moment.
Weekends its a full cooked break fast.
Robyn ;D

Deeau, rush trip to Canberra to see Renaissance Exhibition. Will be coming your way again in late June. Staying at Durras South . Might be able to meet somewhere close. ;D
-
I have the same breakfast almost everyday of the year. A bowl of sultana bran with a spoonful of physillium husks and cold milk. A glass of juice and a cup of tea. In winter I may have porridge. I really enjoy this for breakfast as I read the paper.
When we are in big hotels I pig out on the lovely food, but then miss lunch as I don't need it.
-
I used to have sourdough toast with marmalade for breakfast every morning, but since I've had the thermomix I have gone right off store bought bread. Haven't tried to make my own sourdough yet, so in the meantime I have fruit salad with home made granola and yoghurt. And of course coffee - not human until I've had my coffee!
I make Rara's pancakes every Saturday for the kid's breakfast, sometimes I'll have one too with blueberries. Although blueberry season is over now :'(
-
My breakfast has always been a small bowl of cereal, or porridge if it is winter and a slice of toast with vegemite plus a cup of tea. I have only ever had one cooked breakfast and that was in England and just to say I had an English breakfast.
-
I don't like sweet things for breakfast, so rarely eat cereal. Occasionally I'll have Bircher Muesli or porridge, but not often.
My breakfast is usually toast with bacon, avocado and tomato or smoked salmon, avocado and tomato, with a dill mayo. If it's a cooked breakfast, usually on weekends it will be either scrambled, poached or fried eggs with bacon, tomato and either baked beans or tinned spaghetti.
We love our BBQ Breakfasts in summer! My DH always cooks them on weekends.
-
We are in the habit of eating either of two breakfasts. Porridge cooked in the TM with chia, physillium, and cinnamom sprinkled over and served with Greek yogurt and berries. The other meal is Quirky Jo's fermented waffles made with brown rice. Served with yogurt and berries and seasonal fruits. Yum. Plus a cappauchino.
-
I usually start with fruit, depending what's in season. Yesterday, I had grapes and rockmellon.
Then I usually have cereal in summer and porridge with milk and honey in winter.
I have also been brewing a Crio bru with a slash of cream - I found it a bit watery with milk, and I remembered that Tenia said at her cooking class that she has hers with cream. So, if it 's good enough for Tenia, it's good enough for me! ( although she did also say that she's trying to cut out the cream and drink it black :-\)
On sundays, we go to our neighbour 's for a late brekky of pancakes with homemade jam, fresh fruit and cream. And coffee.
Today, however, I made a smoothie for the whole family with almonds, oats, chia, strawberries, peaches, yoghurt,milk and ice.
-
Always have a double espresso and either homemade muesli or baked beans on toast if I am in a hurry or if I have time I like to make a frittata using cherry tomatoes, baby spinach, capsicum, mushrooms and three eggs with a dash of milk.
If I m feeling decadent on the weekend I like to make huevos rancheros, fried eggs served on a tortilla with refried beans and salsa.
I have to say that if I lived in France I would probably have brioche and coffee most mornings for breakfast.
