Breakfast thread for August

yogurt again. only with blueberries.No egg's. 

by noon I will want to eat everything in sight..

Those berries look HUGE.....YUM!

yup. Sc grown. And I do not have many left  

couldn't help it.. Eggs   

I have some peppered bacon baking in the oven. It will most likely pair up with over easy eggs and home fried potatoes made from the leftover boiled potatoes from earlier in the week....oh, and toasted ciabatta since I picked up a loaf of our favorite bread at the farm market yesterday.

I'm the only one up and moving, well, no...that's not entirely true. I just heard the shower so someone else must have been awakened by the fantastic fragrance of bacon cooking. No alarm clock needed.

oh yum.. 

Eggs from brown chickens.....

Nothing more, just the particular chicken. Yet people pay more for those than the regular, everyday white variety. Now, if they were double yolkers...well, then I coul understand.

But your pic is gorgeous, Barb. Nice that you go out in the heat just to give us beautiful food porn!

these cost me nothing.   My neighbor got them fresh from the farm.Have not had a double yoke yet, I sure did when I had my own chickens tho.

HOT is right .105` yesterday.. I am so not going out anywhere today.

fresh made plain yogurt with fruit.

Love that dish, too!

Isn't it fun to use cute dishes "just for you" because you are special. It always makes me smile.

yard sale ..10c. lol

Somehow I missed this post....looks really good Imelda! So when you said "coffee rolls" you meant rolls made with coffee that can be served with coffee.... Did you mix the coffee powder with sugar like you do when you use cinnamon? Interesting.

I mixed it with condensed milk, it still too bitter for my taste.. Dirk likes it with tea.. not coffee.. he said it had enough coffee in the rolls  

I go to the egg farm and they have eggs from medium to super jumbo, most of the jumbos are double yolkers and are $2.40 a dozen and fresh daily.  They are so huge that the egg crate won't close -- rubber bands are supplied to hold the cartons shut.  I buy extra large for baking and the jumbos for our breakfasts.  I like breakfast casseroles and was about to make a dinner casserole with some leftover chicken and thought I had all the ingredients but didn't have most of what was needed.  So I made up a recipe using cheese, eggs and chicken plus several pantry ingredients and it was pretty good.  So I served it, next day, for brekkie and we decided we liked it then, too.  I'm calling it Mexican Souffle, and Barb will roll her eyes, because it's just sort of reminds one of Mexican flavors -- sorta like Spanish Rice.  LMAO  

MEXICAN SOUFFLE   

3 cups shredded chicken (could use ground beef or ham too)
5 eggs
12 oz. shredded cheddar or Mexican blend cheese
1 can Rotel tomatoes
1 - 14.5 oz. can of creamed corn
1 - 10.5 oz. can of cream of chicken soup
1 pkg. Jiffy corn bread mix

Put all ingredients in a large mixing bowl except 4 oz. of the shredded cheese (reserved for top of casserole) and mix until well blended.
Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 40-60 minutes, or until middle is set and lightly browned.  Remove from oven and top with remaining cheese, return to oven and bake 5-10 minutes or until cheese is melted.  Serve with sour cream and salsa, if desired.

For brekkie, we normally have a pastry and cottage cheese OR yogurt OR eggs and toast.  Hubs has oatmeal sometimes that he does in an 8-cup Pyrex batter bowl in the microwave -- it makes 2-3 servings and I have some large plastic mugs with lids that he uses to hold the remainder to re-heat.  I love oatmeal but sometimes I feel like it lays in a big wad in my gullet -- so I don't often have it for breakfast.  Cold cereals are reserved for snacks around here and we go in cycles with it -- currently in an off-cycle.  My favorite hot cereal is cocoa wheats!!!

No rolling the eye here.That sounds wonderful.. Copied.. 

Your breakfasts sound like mine, Pea. Strange, but the older I get the more my body requires protein first thing in the morning...fuel to get going, I guess. Actually, I think I eat more protein now than I did when I was younger. Of course, I probably eat more carbs and vegetables as well - but I just don't mention that part. LOL

I told Brian I would make him a hearty breakfast tomorrow, one I've never made before.

Homemade biscuits made into a sandwich with a scrambled egg, sliced, sauteed Jimmy Dean Hot Sausage and some melted gruyere cheese.  And of course, coffee and chicory and orange juice.  And that Tabasco bottle will be nearby on the table!  

I'm out of fresh tomatoes (though I could open a jar of the Creole tomatoes I canned to use a nice fresh homegrown tomato) and also out of smoked red bell peppers, either of which would add a great flavor to our egg/sausage/cheese biscuits.  They'll look like I made them for Dagwood before I'm finished.

If you want to go one more step to take it over the top.....

Use a bit of that Jimmy Dean Spicy sausage for a small amount of sausage gravy, make the sandwiches open-face and spoon the gravy over the melted cheese...or under the melted cheese, as you wish.

I use that sausage for my gravy....best tasting and reasonable in price.
