Do you eat weekday breakfast? If so, what?
I'm big on frozen yogurt with fresh fruit at this time of year.

Always. Usually oat-based, either a baked oatmeal bar (I make them then store them in the freezer. The recipe is from chocolate and zucchini), homemade granola with yogurt, or regular oatmeal. And I always have a small glass of orange juice.
There isn't much in the way of fresh fruit in Ontario yet. But in August when we have peaches for sure I will use them to top my granola or oatmeal bar.

A slice of peanutbutter toast (whole grain bread) and whatever fruit is around the house.

I eat breakfast every morning before heading to the gym and then to the office. What I have varies though; oatmeal with bananas or some other kind of fruit, peanut butter and jelly on whole wheat bread, raisin bran or Go Lean Crunch...And then I have a Cliff protein bar when I get to my desk.

BaHa--frozen yogurt like soft serve, or a yogurt stuck in the freezer?
Eh, either way. I eat strange breakfasts. One day it's an egg-white omelet, the next it's hummus and pretzels.
Stefanie at 11:22AM on 05/16/07
coffee. homemade yogurt and fresh or dried fruit. then more coffee. in that order.
french tart at 11:25AM on 05/16/07
I must admit I am not a breakfast person at all but since I have a job I know I need to eat in order to function. So usually I will have a fat free raspberry or black raspberry yogurt and a bowl of fresh strawberries, blueberries and raspberries or some type of fresh fruit. Not fond of eggs in the morning.
Sarah P. at 11:35AM on 05/16/07
Always. Three eggs, scrambled in butter and seasoned with tobasco and Maldon. Sometimes I'll add a whole wheat cracker.
Can't get a good start on the day without my eggs!
FKC at 11:37AM on 05/16/07
lately it's been yogurt and a slice of peanut butter toast. If I have time, I'll whip up some eggs and serve it on toast with tomato.
malenky at 11:43AM on 05/16/07
I carry my breakfast to work each morning. Normally a banana, yogurt and some other fruit such as citrus.
Colorado Jim at 11:51AM on 05/16/07
Stefanie--From the freezer. For a minute, I was confused by the question (who has soft-serve at home?) but then remembered that most people have to travel further than the next room to get to work.
Laura Dot--The fresh fruit is pretty thin on the ground here, too; am resorting to California strawbs. At least you've got the Senators. Go, Ottawa, and avenge my Rangers!

Wow, I finally found another person in the world that eats three eggs everyday! It seems eggs are becoming less of a breakfast food these days, especially with high cholesterol on the rise. I used to eat 3 eggs, 3 peices of bacon and some sausage everyday. Well, that was until the doctor put a stop to it by telling me I have high cholesterol (at age 25). I still sneak in some eggs on the weekends though :)
Now I eat something simple like a banana, or a piece of penut butter toast, or a Special K bar. And I always have my breakfast tea.
Boy 'o boy, that bacon and sausage is sounding pretty good. I'm gonna have to get some this weekend :)

Porridge oats w/a little peanut butter mixed in, fruit, and a small cup of coffee
Lucia at 12:18PM on 05/16/07
Peanut butter on toast or homemad bran muffins.

I have to eat breakfast every morning. Otherwise, I get really cranky.
I've been mixing up a breakfast smoothie with milk, coffee, half a packet of carnation instant breakfast, and a half a banana. I either blend it with ice or pour it over ice. It's been pretty warm here in the morning, which kills my morning appetite - I usually just want to have iced coffee in the morning - so I throw the other stuff in to round it out.
Having typed it out, coffee & banana doesn't sound that appetizing, but it works for me somehow.
My mid-morning snack today was plain yogurt, strawberries, and a little honey. Mmm.
segalbraith at 12:58PM on 05/16/07
Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day, so much so that I might have it for lunch or dinner, too. As to what it might be, that could be eggs, oatmeal, cereal and milk, pancakes, waffles, etc., etc., etc. ... oh, but not all at once!
LunaPierCook at 12:59PM on 05/16/07
I'm another "3-egg" person. Scrambled with chopped green onions, then topped with shredded cheddar cheese and folded over - omelet style.
Second favorite breakfast is my home-made version of the Egg McMuffin: English muffin with a fried egg (using an egg ring), two slices of Kraft "plastic" cheese and a slice of Sarah Lee smoked hickory ham.
Either way accompanied by apricot or peach nectar.
Yumm!!

Diet Coke and/or copius amounts of black coffee: Breakfast of Champions.

BaHa...I used to like you! hehehe......
Over here in Sabres land....I always have yogurt & then a 'snack' of cheerios or whole wheat toast mid morning.
On the week-ends I spoil myself with fresh eggs that I get from my dad pretty regularly. I also have a source of killer bacon, Spars European Meats in the city....Buffalo....they have the best center cut that they smoke themselves.
Since BaHa brought hockey into in...we're not out yet....Go Sabres! ;-)
mepolo at 2:29PM on 05/16/07
Special K Red Berries w/ Silk soy milk and ground flax seeds every weekday and I fix myself a pot of decaf green tea when I get work.
On weekends, it's anything goes because that's when I have the time to be more creative and make things like corn cakes w/ blueberries or cheddar cheese biscuits from scratch.
pageycooks at 2:30PM on 05/16/07
Two or three cups of coffee always, then maybe a bowl of Cheerio's or Special K.
On the weekends I go all out; bacon, sausage, eggs/omelet, pancakes with what ever fruit I have around (last weekend it was thin sliced plums and cinnamon, delicious!) or we go out to brunch. I LOVE breakfast on the weekends.
MML at 3:28PM on 05/16/07
I'm with LunaPierCook: all breakfast foods are fair game for any meal.
Weekday breakfasts are usually cold cereal w/skim milk (soy at work, cow at home). I'm trying to incorporate fruit with breakfast but it is a struggle.
Weekend breakfasts may be more involved depending on time and my motivation to do more than pour cereal into a bowl.
AuntJone at 3:37PM on 05/16/07
I stop off at the coffee shop around the corner from the corner from the office, where I pick up a small coffee (black) and either yogurt topped with strawberries and granola or a fruit salad. On Fridays, I might treat myself to a bacon, egg, and cheese on a roll if I haven't eaten too much cholesterol-laden stuff the rest of the week. That means it's usually yogurt or fruit on Fridays, too. :(
Adam Kuban at 4:18PM on 05/16/07
Homemade granola and yogurt (or soy milk) and berries is a weekday staple. Sometimes I go for eggwhites on a bagel with some cheese. Wintertime it's steel cut oats and berries with maple syrup. Eating breakfast every day is important!
rockchick at 4:30PM on 05/16/07
I can't start my day without eating breakfast. I like good, strong, coffee, and 2 slices of whole grain bread with blueberry jam. The bread must not be presliced, I like to cut it myself- it feels more rustic that way. Sometimes midmorning I will grab plain yogurt, with fresh fruit and honey.
Mich23 at 5:18PM on 05/16/07
Lately, I've been mixing up a big batch of yogurt, fruit and muesli at the start of the week and eating it at my desk at work every morning -- it's probably more expensive than my other options, but it's delicious, healthy, and pretty well-balanced. When that's not an option, I generally have a bagel with butter, or a Lara bar.
Weekend breakfasts are more likely to be something small just to get me out the door: I"m not a big bruncher.
misha at 5:23PM on 05/16/07
Cereal is my favorite food, so its no surprise that I have it every morning. Usually a Kashi brand or sometimes Raisin Bran crunch
zekks at 6:07PM on 05/16/07
Oatmeal & a poached egg
JEP at 6:52PM on 05/16/07
I always eat breakfast. Weekdays, I'm often pressed for time, so I have cereal, hot--these days oatmeal or Bob's Red Mill muesli, or cold--Weetabix or Kashi with soy milk. (Yeah, I prefer my muesli hot, with a dash of Splenda.)
baboo at 7:58PM on 05/16/07
Always: decaf with 2% milk, made in a Melitta cone. If I eat anything it has to be protein: toast with cheese or peanut butter, yogurt with some kind of whole grain cereal (my own granola is best). My favorite yogurt (but too fatty to eat all the time) is Brown Cow Farm cream-top maple. Breakfast pastries (whether danish or muffins) make me crash in an hour or two.
emily20008 at 8:15PM on 05/16/07
Jimmy Dean sausage egg and cheese biscuits, that I buy in a red box from the meat case at Walmart. They are surprisingly good.
BreadBox at 8:46PM on 05/16/07
During the week, I make a smoothie of blueberries, strawberries, rasberries, bananas and plain yogurt. on the weekend, however... I have eggs, bacon and toast. And sometimes, a lovely egg/bacon/swiss sandwich on ciabatta...
shaofan at 9:15PM on 05/16/07
2 pieces fiber rye Wasa topped with about a tablespoon of super chunky Skippy each, a hard-boiled egg, and a large Dunkin' Donuts coffee (light with no sugar).
I'm a man of habit.
Weekends I splurge and have a bagel with lox each morning. :D
AdamH at 10:08PM on 05/16/07
I didn't mean, by the way, a container of yogurt shoved in the freezer. I meant lashings of a pint of frozen yogurt, Stefanie!
BaHa at 10:18PM on 05/16/07
I have my breakfast/coffee in the same order as french tart: coffee, then a piece of toast w/ peanut or cashew butter and a fruit smoothie (frozen berries/mango/peaches/whatever, plain yogurt, banana, flax meal), then another cup of coffee. The order is crucial. So is the protein - if I do just toast and coffee when I'm running late, I get hungry an hour later.
producestories at 10:37PM on 05/16/07
Usually fruit or some yogurt - I prefer sweet tasting versus savory breakfast items.
Ash at 12:56AM on 05/17/07
Yogurt and some whole-wheat tofuti bars, followed by coffee, a shot of rum, and a cigarette.
Lou at 6:06AM on 05/17/07
Hey, BaHa--some people COULD have soft serve at home!
.........(Crazy people.)
Looks like yogurt for breakfast is the great common bond between most here at SE.........I feel out of the loop now.
For what it's worth, I'm actually eating a bagel now--regular breakfast fare!
Stefanie at 8:25AM on 05/17/07
Always. Fruit until noon -- a holdover from the Fit for Life movement. On occasion, John and I will go to the diner for breakfast, but that's rarer and rarer as we try to eat better consistently.
hereandthe at 8:43AM on 05/17/07
If i'm on the go then after a glass of juice, I just grab some fruits, usually apples, bananas and or orange. If I have more time or feeling particularly hungry, toast it is. More often than not, it's cornflakes+milk+bananas+cinnamon. Good stuff!
winny at 11:09AM on 05/17/07
i keep a box of cereal in my desk at work and bring milk in a traveller... also, i do drink the occasional carnation instant breakfast -- i love those... and lately i've been devouring these apple-cinnamon pitas for breakfast.
