breakfast

Does anyone else every get the occasional craving for it? I did this morning after another widespread frost and half an hour of wood chopping out in minus figures... Breakfast wasn't my usual healthy homemade soya yoghurt, red berries and Weet-bix. Instead I had 2 rounds of wholemeal fried...

Have any of you made croissants? I made them once or twice a very long time ago (with mixed results) but encouraged by the success of the Swedish Cinnamon Buns, I'm thinking I will have another attempt. I'd like to hear your experiences... is it really worth the effort?

Banish all thoughts of lumpy semolina school dinner puddings and transform semolina into a seductive treat. This dish would be good for breakfast but it could be served in smaller portions as a dessert. I think it works hot or cold. If serving cold you may want to add more milk as the semolina...

Based on the ingredients of a ready-mix pack from Marks and Spencer cooked by @Kake Lover - see here! I worked out proportions of each ingredient and made it from scratch. I used a little more butter than the ready-mix suggests as the mix didn't seem to be adhering. This might be because I used...

Is eating breakfast really so important? Would it matter if you never ate breakfast? For years, we’ve been told that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. But one former Cambridge University lecturer hopes to challenge this way of thinking. Terence Kealey, 64, believes breakfast is a...

I've had a hard time deciding on which recipes to try out for the rhubarb ingredient challenge but have finally decided on this one as one of them. I've had to dairy free it, which veganises it as well, but it sounds good, so good that I'll have it for breakfast and evening meal whilst my...

The makers of Weetabix have sent Twitter into a meltdown thanks to a bizarre serving suggestion on the back of a cereal box. The company advised customers to try putting poached eggs and sliced ham on top of their dried Weetabix. It’s supposedly a bit like Eggs Benedict. Would you try it...

This is one of my combinations that I like for breakfast. It doesn't need much in the way of polenta for a single person, and usually I manage to make way too much tbh. I put a touch of sugar in it initially and then add what I need afterwards to make it sweet enough for my tastes but not too...

Back in '69 I started a new job in South Wales which involved 7 x 12+ hour days therefore actually having time to cook was out of the question. The job involved a lot of time "on the road" and one of my favourite stops for breakfast was a transport cafe just outside Abergavenny. Breakfast...

I absolutely loved living in Australia for the breakfast culture there. One of the cities I spent a lot of time in has a wonderful breakfast and coffee culture, and there's an Instagram account of people taking pictures of their breakfasts at cafes there...

I love breakfast, it is probably one of my most favorite meals of the day. When thinking of breakfast, I will usually make or order my usual, sunny side eggs, bacon, home fries and rye bread to dip in my yolk. I love this combo for breakfast so much I will often eat for dinner also. What is...

This is a bit of a point of contention in our household. I have to have a sweet breakfast. That's not to say it has to be loaded with sugar, but I'll take fruit/granola/yogurt any day of the week over bacon, eggs, and toast. That could be to do with the fact I really dislike eggs, but that's...

This probably sounds a little weird, but my husband is eating cereal right now and it made me think of it... He loves his cereal with tons of milk. I'd say the ratio is like three amounts of milk to the amount of cereal he puts in the bowl. For me, on the other hand, I barely put any milk in...

It's the New Year here in Japan - bright and early, too (it's JUST going 6am - wow!) I had a quiet night last night and actually feel quite well rested! I'm starting my morning with a couple of gluten free blueberry waffles (I'm not on a gluten free diet, I just like the taste of these...

How often would you say you eat out (at a restaurant or café) for breakfast? Here in Japan, it's honestly pretty hard to eat out for breakfast. There's a bit of a culture here of places only opening around 10am -- so that means that it's a bit late for a traditional breakfast hour - it can be...

Okay, let me start off by saying I am a true coffee lover!!!!! I do not start my day without one and I definitely enjoy more than one a day. Usually, I just add some milk and half a teaspoon of sugar. On the rare occasion, I buy the specialty creamers, you know the International Delight flavored...

One of my hubby's favorite weekend breakfasts are breakfast burritos. Basically, he gets a tortilla, scrambles a couple eggs, adds some refried beans, salsa, cheese, and chorizo sausage if we have it...and wraps it all up. It's probably not the most low calorie of breakfasts but he thinks it's...

I find videos like this fascinating and informative. Having lived in Australia, the USA and right now Japan, I can say that those three "stereotypical" representations of breakfast are reasonably accurate! Is your country on there? Would you say the video represents your country's average...

Many years ago when my children were small, I use to make a breakfast cookie that they all liked. It had eggs, of course, along with bacon and orange juice and wheat germ. They were easy to make, but because of the bacon in them, I stored them in the refrigerator. On mornings when we over...

I used to make homemade granola bars quite often when my kids were little. It was just a variation of a good, oatmeal, cookie recipe that I had. It was a healthier version than most cookies, so I just made them into bars with fruits and nuts and oats. The kids loved them. What do you think...
