What do you eat for breakfast on the weekend?
During the week, many of us are probably on auto-pilot breakfast-wise. You may have a routine, including a routine breakfast that is eaten, so you can begin & carry on your day. So when the weekend comes, do your breakfast choices change? Stay in your pj's & make french toast or pancakes? Make an unusual omelet or quiche? Bake cinnamon rolls? Eat at a diner or fancy-pants restaurant? Do you make a "donut run"? What is your favorite weekend breakfast?

We do many things. I often make a big breakfast with hash browns eggs bacon etc or I make a coffee cake, muffins, waffles, pancakes.
OR its cold pizza. A few times a year we go to a diner.

Well this morning, it involved waffles and eggs and bacon. During the week my husband eats bacon and eggs every day. On weekends, we add in the waffles or pancakes which I don`t do during the week.

Eggs Benedict. It is my husbands favorite. :) :)

I like leftovers. Today I had tuna mac salad and cornbread. I never have weekday breakfast on a weekend, though. Cold cereal is only good on weekdays.

Same thing I eat almost every morning before going to work, a bowl of Myojo Chukazanmai ramen (whatever flavor I'm in the mood for - sesame, rayu, shoyu, miso) or their hiyashi somen with mix and match toppings depending on what I have in the fridge:
- raw egg yolk (for ramen, not somen)
- thinly sliced egg/crepe
- thinly sliced cucumber sticks (for somen, not ramen)
- thinly sliced fried spam in sriracha and Pietro sesame sauce
cooked in broth and used as topping:
- shrimp
- spinach
- choi sum
- mustard cabbage
- snow peas
- broccoli
To my husband's disappointment, I am not into bacon, sausage, regular fried eggs, toast, muffins, hot coffee, etc. When I visit my father, I do love his sunny-side up eggs, Portuguese sausage with rice for breakfast though!

My favorite is going out for brunch. While we lived in Richmond, VA it was always Millie's for their Bloody Mary and the best Corned Beef Hash with poached eggs and hollandaise. MMMMMM!
Now that we live in Indianapolis, I'm, er, going hungry...just kidding, I've been cooking a lot. Our favorite at home weekend breakfast is challah french toast with a side of bacon or sausage.

I like making pancakes, partly because they're a bit of a novelty to my boyfriend (Danish pancakes are crepes, and most often served with ice cream as a dessert).

Would you rather prepare the weekend breakfast or allow someone to cook for you?
JEP at 5:47PM on 02/09/08
My husband does 95% of the cooking, so yep, I trust him to cook for me any and all the time. He knows which ingredients I won't eat and that I will not eat what I don't like. When he cooks, he usually makes about 10-15 servings for the two of us.
Of course, I'll try a dish if it's something new, but if I hate it, he's stuck eating everything.

Every Sunday my husband and I begin with homemade latte made with Illy coffee - actually that's everyday of the week with homemade biscotti for dipping. Every Sunday I make an omlette - gruyere cheese, asparagus and chives; spinach and mushroom; tomato, basil and mozzarella cheese along with fresh fruit and wheat toast. I try to make a different recipe each week and try something new.

As I'm German a hard boiled egg is a definitive must have on a sunday breakfast. As well as fresh still warm rolls from the local bakery. I also love fruit salad and freshly pressed juicec, but (since my girlfriend loves it so much) I often make scrambled eggs with bacon or pancakes Amrican style. Yummy with the fruit salad...

Usually, on Saturdays my husband cooks breakfast, which would be eggs of some kind - scrambled or an omelette, or a fried egg sandwich, sometimes with bacon or ham, and always accompanied by a plate of freshly cut veggies. Or he buys fresh bagels and it's a bagel-cream cheese-lox breakfast. On Sundays, I now make pancakes (I've started this tradition several weeks ago when I remembered that that's what we used to have in my house when I was little and how much I loved it:-)). I use a mix of whole wheat and buckwheat flours (and no dairy, since hubby is lactose intolerant), and they turn out fabulous!
Sometimes I also make what we call "the big omelette", with sausage, bacon, ham, potatoes, onions, peppers, and, well, eggs. We don't make this one often though, maybe twice a year or so. Once every couple of months, we go for a brunch in one of the hotels in Atlantic City (and it's the best brunch ever), and sometimes we go to the Japanese place we love. But mostly, we just stay home, relax and enjoy every second of it:-).

This morning I'm having cold, leftover pizza. I like cold, lefrover Chinese, too. : )

Weekends almost always means, "pull out the stops for breakfast". It's one time that is more likely we'll eat it together. Typically weekend starters will be along the lines of pancakes, waffles, scones, dutch babies, crepes or biscuits and gravy... This weekend we really went the distance and had huevos rancheros; going so far as to cook homemade tortillas. Saturday was so good we had a repeat on Sunday!

Banana bread french toast this morning, yummy

Usually just coffee, occasionally with toast. OJ mid-morning. Once in a great while, maybe once a month, I'll get the urge for eggs in some form and bacon or sausage - even less often, I'll want pancakes or waffles or scones or muffins or coffee cake.
Normally, I get hungry around noon, so I guess you could say I have lunch for breakfast. Then when I get hungry around 11 p.m. and I want cereal, I convince myself that I'm having a very late ( or early?????) breakfast. I don't go to sleep until 2 or 3 a.m., so I'm not instantly falling into bed. How's all that for rationalization? Works for me. My circadian rhythms are off kilter.

I love to have a latte and chocolate croissant for breakfast on the weekend.
KitchenKore at 9:31AM on 02/11/08
I always plan something great for me + the hubby for Saturday mornings .. this past weekend, we had waffles, bacon, and eggs (sunny-side-up), but I try to vary it so other weekends I've made fritatttas, french toast, pancakes, etc. typical bfast foods. We always have coffee though!
mrsbao at 10:01AM on 02/11/08
Breakfast for me means EGGS, and more eggs. I love them any way I can get them. I eat then almost everyday of the week. You have to try warm hardboild with some margerine or butter if you're not watching your calories, spread on them with a side of cottage cheese. Very yummy. But, like I said I love eggs.
I almost never eat waffles, pancakes or french toast but I do like them but they are too high in calories for me.
I must have coffee too, MUST!
tammiebalon at 11:08AM on 02/11/08
It was just me this weekend. I made coddled eggs with a little virgina ham, diced grape tomatoes, chives and gouda. I had a toasted wheat english mffin on the side. It was a huge breakfast -- it (and a couple of cups of strong coffee) kept me going all day!
lakeloverhh at 1:13PM on 02/11/08
I make egg sandwiches pretty regularly, with ham, eggs over medium, cheese on buttered and toasted English muffins. SOOO much better than the fast food version.
lo82070 at 1:52PM on 02/11/08
When I travel, I love going to breakfast at Cracker Barrel - I love their pecan pancakes and hash brown casserole. I know it's not fancy, but I just love it...
At home, it's usually cereal with a fruit smoothie. Or a cheese toasted sandwich with freshly squeezed orange juice... but this conversation is making me crave some whole wheat pancakes with maple syrup, mmmmmm!!!!
MadelynRodriguez at 2:15PM on 02/11/08
Sunday morning bfasts are typically made by my British husband. He fixes "heart attack on a plate" or more commonly know as a proper English fry up. Fry bread, bacon, sausage, fried eggs, sliced tomatoes, and baked beans....sometimes sauteed mushrooms.
jcrisco at 3:21PM on 02/11/08
I love weekend breakfast!!
MedelynRodriguez- We do Craker Barrel every once in a while too!!!
Otherwise, I just fix a big breakfast:
1. eggs, bacon, toast,
2. pancakes or waffles, eggs, bacon
3. Mexican papitas, flour tortillas, eggs, homemade salsa
4. A texas breakfast: biscuits, eggs, gravy, sausage, bacon
And I always make some Cafe con Leche, which my husband deems as the best!

Easy, easy, easy but feels like luxury and packs a great nutrition punch:
Whole wheat toaster waffles
Morningstar Farms sausage links
Topped with mixed berries (originally frozen, then nuked) and fat-free sour cream.
Oh my. So lovely. And a little sugar-free syrup never hurt anybody, either.
larkin at 6:55PM on 02/11/08
A toasted slice of whatever homemade bread is in the freezer - pumpernickel raisin, walnut sourdough, etc. Sometimes with a thin spread of peanut butter or poppyseed filling.
Yogurt with a good jam or walnuts, almonds or hazelnuts or homemade granola and chocolate nibs.
Often a piece of fruit also.
