I love all sorts of breakfast foods but it's hard to eat early in the morning. The only time I can enjoy breakfast is the weekend when things are less rushed.

I'm a big fan of breakfast, I tend to bring food with me to make when I get there so I can relax and read my email while having breakfast at work. And I'm way more likely to skip dinner or have something small (and generally breakfast like) as my nighttime meal.

I love breakfast! One of my weekly high points is an early morning run followed by breakfast at a local 'cheap eats' place. It's aways the same-2 eggs over easy, bacon, hash browns, rye toast and ots of tabasco. They just raised the price to $2.25... I'm not much for the sweet stuff but I love anything savory-egg stratas, sausages, all of that.

I can never leave house without breakfast, though I wasn't a big breakfast food person until I met my weekend brunch-obsessed boyfriend. I always thought my need for breakfast stems from the fact that I'm a nutrition student, but I've met dietitians who don't eat until they get to work!

I HAVE to eat breakfast: I am hungry almost immediately upon waking. However, I'm not a morning person so it normally doesn't matter what I eat. Because of that I try to eat something healthy: oatmeal, this morning with a cut up apple, brown sugar & cinnamon, walnuts and golden raisins. I may end up eating junk for every other meal of the day, but at least breakfast was good for me. Oh yea, and a quart of water to go with all that fiber.

I love breakfast and eat it every single day. In fact, I Iove breakfast food so much, I eat for lunch and dinner a lot too...although in the morning, I tend to go for carbs - toast, cereal, muffins, etc...while in later in the day, I prefer omelettes/eggs and some kind of meat. And although I usually have a small portion in my own house for breakfast, if I go out, I love huge breakfasts - pancake places, country-cookin', meat & three, etc...

One word: oatmeal.

I'm not a breakfast person. :( For reason number 1: "I’m not hungry in the morning." (Brunch on the weekends is more do-able.) I also have bad memories of weird smelling breakfast meats from when I was a kid. But I do love waffles and pancakes, because you'd be crazy not to.

I love breakfast. Sadly, during the week I'm usually in the boring category, but I try to keep it more interesting-- blueberries and brown sugar in my oatmeal, fruit on my cereal, a homemade breakfast sandwich. During the weekend, I love making yummy breakfasts or going out for brunch.

Occasionally, we have brinner at my house.

I sleep-walk my way through the morning with a cup of coffee.
I love breakfast for lunch and dinner.

I am a reformed breakfastophobe, turned breakfastophile.

I was not a breakfast person (could not stomach food until after noon) until I got an ulcer when I was 18. At the time, my doctor told me that as far as he was concerned, I could eat grass, but I had to do it three times a day, pretty much at the same time. Which, yes, included having to eat breakfast. I started treating my breakfastophobia with having soup for breakfast (it was the easiest thing for me to eat), moved on to eggs and now can happily consume various breakfast (and not-so-breakfast) foods within an hour of getting up and absolutely cannot imagine my life without breakfast!

I still eat miso soup for breakfast from time to time though.

it's funny you guys posted this today, because I'm usually in the not-hungry/nibble-at-my-desk category of non-breakfasters, but this morning my husband & I were randomly up far earlier than usual & I made us both bacon-&-over-easy-egg sandwiches. they were so tasty that I think I might need to make breakfast a part of my regular routine.

I would have breakfast for well breakfast, lunch, and dinner all the time if I could. There is just something so comforting about having a nice bowl of oatmeal, a piece of quiche and toast, an omelet with hash browns that is so comforting.

It is rather odd my love for it considering when I was growing up I would always have the same bowl of cereal or Kellogg's toaster waffles. Now I can't touch anything premade when I prepare breakfast at home, but I am always more than willing to go someplace tasty for breakfast.

I am BIG on eating breakfast -- it's typically the heaviest meal of the day -- but I HATE most breakfast foods like most preparations of cooked eggs, sausage, bacon, hash browns, toast, biscuits, gravy, etc.

I do, however, indulge on the occasional Belgian waffle and french toast. Fruits don't count. While the french toast above looks yummy, the best restaurant-made french toast I've had was at Longhi's Ala Moana. I adore their Grand Marnier french toast.

My favorite breakfast is a traditional Japanese breakfast -- rice, miso soup, grilled salmon, and pickled vegetables.

I'm a non-breakfaster but I like a lot of breakfast food so I end up being a dinner-breakfaster fairly regularly. I'm always too rushed (and not hungry) in the morning to become a breakfast-breakfaster.

I love breakfast foods but cannot eat them immediately upon waking. I need at least an hour before having either toast, yogurt, fruit, oatmeal or a small slice of French toast. I prefer to wait a few hours before the heavier foods, like bacon, sausage, eggs, waffles, etc., which I will happily consume for brunch or dinner!

I'm not a breakfast person, never ate breakfast through elementary and high school, but now since i wake up so late, my breakfast is my lunch, and i knock off two birds with one stone.

i love breakfast food, but i usually just eat leftovers, cause its easier. although i will kill for a great waffle with fresh fruit and maple syrup.

waffle sundays =] best thing at the dc's.

I'm definitely pro-breakfast in all it's forms, though I favor sweets early in the morning. The usual weekday breakfast for me is oatmeal, fruit, yogurt, and honey, but on late weekend mornings I like something savory and eggy. I rarely eat pancakes, french toast waffles, muffins and the like, so when I do it's usually a special occasion (like Christmas morning). The morning meal is what keeps me going throughout the day!

Yay breakfast! I've had friends sit in awe as I slowly consumed huge breakfasts. I'll gladly just have a giant breakfast and then have popcorn or something in the evening.

i am a lover of breakfast-- sometimes it's what gets me out of bed! i get up at least an hour and a half before i have to leave home just to make sure i get enough time to make a pot of coffee, some breakfast, and have time to enjoy it. this morning? whole wheat pumpkin pancakes topped with a sliced banana, peanut butter and pumpkin butter. no lunch food can compare!

Here's what I do for breakfast each day: Eat a spoonfull of nutella mixed with chunky peanut butter, dipped in a jar of chocolate sprinkles. Wait for a few minutes to let the sugar rush kick in. Ready to start the day.

Generally, I am not a breakfast fan. I'm not a coffee person--I like the taste but it really messes with my stomach--so I get my caffeine from a Diet Pepsi instead. Then about two hours later I might have something to eat. It must be savory--not sweet. Cottage cheese, leftover homemade roll from the night before (usually not around because the kids scarfed them down), maybe an egg or cold pizza. No doughnuts, french toast or pancakes please.

I love breakfast, but like many others, I tend to rush it during the week - I grab a coffee and some fruit, and cross my fingers I get to finish it all before work gets crazy.

I'm actually not much of a lunch person. I almost never eat a real meal for lunch, instead I nibble while doing other things. (That goes for weekdays and weekends alike.)

As for dinner, I like to sit down to eat leisurely. Most of the time, though, I eat breakfast foods.

Breakfast is my absolute favorite meal of the day, not only because it's delicious but because it's bonding time with my family. So I really look forward to the weekends when I can do it right--spinach & cheese omelettes, birds in a nest, french toast, hash browns & eggs.... the list goes on. I always eat breakfast during the week too, since I wake up starved (breastfeeding & therefore still eating for 2), but it's cereal & yogurt or boiled eggs & whole wheat toast instead. And my one cup of coffee, or you do not want to be within 10 feet of me.

Favorite and most delicious meal of the day. Fact. I love hot buttery bagels, a cup of coffee, and some sliced fruit. And sometimes I love warmed rice with scrambled eggs mixed in and ketchup. Oatmeal, yum. Granola, yogurt, and honey.

Usually though my breakfast needs at least a little salt in it, and it always needs a cup of black coffee. Quiet and a book/newspaper rounds it out.

I MUST have breakfast within one hour of waking up. During the work-week I eat healthy breakfasts - fresh fruit with a little soy milk, some whey protein, a sprinkling of oats & flaxseeds. Sometimes on the weekend we'll go all out and enjoy bacon & eggs with spinach & cheese. Occasionally, we'll have something very indulgent like cranberry bread french toast or corn meal pancakes. And when we travel and eat out for breakfast, all bets are off! Bring on the grits, steak & eggs, pancakes, lobster eggs benedict, etc. I'm fairly certain that breakfast must be served in heaven. :)

Weekday breakfasts are quick; usually just toast and peanut butter with a cup of coffee or can of Diet Pepsi (yeah, I like my caffeine carbonated, thank you!).

But weekends were made for big, leisurely breakfasts at my favourite diner. Their breakfast burrito (the size of a football!) and homefries smothered in cheese curds and hollandaise sauce (oh mouth-gasm!) is one of my favourites.

A bagel breakfast feast is also another popular one. 2 or 3 type of bagels with a variety of cream cheeses and bottomless cups of coffee.

Mmmmm ... c'mon weekend!

I most relate to this quote about breakfast from Hunter S. Thompson.

"Breakfast is the only meal of the day that I tend to view with the same kind of traditionalized reverence that most people associate with Lunch and Dinner. I like to eat breakfast alone, and almost never before noon; anybody with a terminally jangled lifestyle needs at least one psychic anchor every twenty-four hours, and mine is breakfast. In Hong Kong, Dallas or at home — and regardless of whether or not I have been to bed — breakfast is a personal ritual that can only be properly observed alone, and in a spirit of genuine excess. The food factor should always be massive: four Bloody Marys, two grapefruits, a pot of coffee, Rangoon crepes, a half-pound of either sausage, bacon, or corned beef hash with diced chiles, a Spanish omelette or eggs Benedict, a quart of milk, a chopped lemon for random seasoning, and something like a slice of Key lime pie, two margaritas, and six lines of the best cocaine for dessert…. Right, and there should also be two or three newspapers, all mail and messages, a telephone, a notebook for planning the next twenty-four hours and at least one source of good music…. All of which should be dealt with outside, in the warmth of a hot sun, and preferably stone naked."

Breakfast is necessary, and should be delicious!

I love the full English or Irish breakfast (particularly the blood pudding), but unfortunately that doesn't work for every day. I try to have a fry-up breakfast only once a week, usually on Saturday or Sunday. This week it was Mexican sausage with scrambled egg and cheese on a tortilla.

Mostly, though, I try to mix up my breakfast with either oatmeal, cereal, or fruit.

The constant, though, is that I need good (and strong) coffee.

God forbid you ever try to pass of breakfast foods for any meal past 11am. I have been adamantly against breakfast for most of my life unless it entails the leftover delicacies of a past dinner. In today's world I don't have the time to prepare a hot, savory breakfast that would suit my taste, so I have been subjugated to the lousy, processed garbage that all to often serves as American breakfast. I do however enjoy warm savory breakfast classics like biscuits with sausage gravy or a good bowl of grits (who would ever guess I was born and still live in NJ). But until I can somehow find the time and energy to prepare these kinds of dishes in the mornings, my hatred for breakfast will continue.
