What's for breakfast? That is the question in today's chat, coming up at the top of the hour. Pull up a chair & join us!

Kim ODonnel: 
Hello! For some, we're just wiping the crumbs from the first meal of the day; for others, lunch is already in progress. Regardless, today's hour is all about breakfast. How do you get your day started? Are you into breakfast rituals? Is it a healthy start -- or not so much? What can't you live without? And is weekday breakfast a different deal than what you might put together over the weekend? It's all food for thought in this week's Table Talk. Let's dish...

[Comment From Lizka Lizka : ] 
Hi all! Sorry I missed last week (due totally to a failure on my part to remember :( ). I read the transcript and the conversation was really good - so much inspiration. As for today's topic, breakfast food as a group is some of my favorit! Oatmeal is one of my comfort food and I eat that most often, but I also love french toast and waffles and all the trimmings.
Thursday January 20, 2011 10:01 Lizka
10:02
Kim ODonnel: 
Lizka, glad to see you've made it. Is oatmeal part of the weekday routine? Speaking of hot cereal, does anyone venture into other grains? Porridge of different varieties, perhaps?

Kim ODonnel: 
And me, I can't live without my java. I don't need a lot, but I've got to have that before I can contemplate solid food. These days, I'm using coconut milk creamer in my coffee, and I gotta say it's pretty darn tasty. Any way to help that cholesterol level.

[Comment From Erin Erin : ] 
Greetings, all! Weekdays are certainly different from weekends. During the week, it's usually coffee/fruit/nuts for me and cold cereal and fruit for the kids (hubby? I have no idea what he eats). The weekends are a completely different matter: baked somethingorother (pancakes, most often) and BACON. Personally, I love the prepare-the-night-before eggy bread pudding things that you pop into the oven the next morning. YUM. But: coffee. Never without it.

Kim C.: 
Since last summer, my neighbor's been delivering a dozen eggs each Monday from a friend's chickens. So now that we have flavorful, deeply colored eggs, we're eating a lot more of them for breakfast.

[Comment From Lizka Lizka : ] 
Most days I start with toast with butter and jelly and some tea. But I'm a snacker so mid-morning, I eat a piece of fruit. Oatmeal on the weekends only and it's usually my second "meal" of the day - I try to eat within an hour of waking up and tea and toast is about all i can handle at that point.

[Comment From alisoncsmith alisoncsmith : ] 
great topic! i'm absolutely a breakfast person, and love all the traditional american stuff, everything from artery-hardening sausage gravy & biscuits to cheerios. learned to love the bread, butter, ham, cheese (open-faced) type breakfast in austria & germany, and now have a combination of those in our american/greek/armenian/romanian house. weekdays, it's whatever i can manage for 2grownups + preschooler + toddler, so frozen waffles, cereal, and such are often on the menu. but lately been doing oatmeal. and COFFEE for mama.

Oddly enough, even though we have chickens who give us lovely eggs, I am sensitive to them, my daughter currently refuses them, and my husband doesn't eat them! Ha. I use them for baking and then we give the rest to neighbors.

On the weekends when I have more time to cook breakfast-style foods I often do some baking. To answer sweet or savory - SAVORY wins hands-down.

I love a gooey farmstead egg on a piece of whole-wheat toast with greens and hot sauce. In fact, that may have to be today's lunch. Speaking of which...ever have breakfast for dinner?

[Comment From Erin Erin : ] 
Hey Kim! With smaller kids, breakfast is distinctly breakfast on weekends. They're clamoring for food around 7AM, and even if the pancakes hit the table around 9, they are angling for breakfast at noon. I love both sweet, and savory, items in the morning.

I make a bulgur wheat cereal with dried cranberries, walnuts, shredded apple, rice or almond milk, agave, cinammon - keeps well and I can eat it all week. Of course I can also use quinoa if I want gluten free

If I bake something sweet I usually share with my neighbors or put whatever it is in the freezer for a once in a blue moon scone with my coffee as a change of pace from oatmeal or dinner leftovers.

Hey MuesliLover, I love to fry an egg in the wok -- super fast -- and drizzle it with sesame oil. I also like to use leftover grains & make a quickie fried rice with a cooked egg.

By the way, when the greens are in season, I've been known to munch down a breakfast salad. Tremendous hit of energy for me.

A breakfast salad. Lovely idea. Eggs in it? Prob my all-time favorite savory breakfast dish is a simplified version of huevos rancheros -- 1 egg, lots of black beans, cheese, herbs, hot sauce, corn tortilla.

I try to make things ahead on the weekend for quick weekday breakfasts. Like a big pots of steel cut oats or Quinoa. This week is morning glory muffins which are totally delish! Otherwise its usually toast with almond butter and honey as I run out the door. Green tea with mint is my caffine fix!

the greek & armenian in our house are tempered by the romanian. which is feta or other salty cheese + tomatoes + olive oil, sausage, sausage, sausage, or maybe even a sour soup (but maybe that's just my husband). his dad, oddly, armenian born/raised in romanian. ate 2 slices of kraft singles on "cotton bread," as they fondly call it. wonder bread. and coffee. for a distinctly european man, a decidedly american breakfast

Though I am not into eating eggs, a really easy dish that my B&B guests loved was so easy and good: crack 2 eggs into a lightly buttered ramekin, pour 1/2 and 1/2 around each yolk, top with a few grates of cheese and a few sprinkles of favorite dried herbs, set into a hot water bath and bake until the eggs are set. Pretty to serve and people loved the individual serving style.

If anyone is like me and likes salads for breakfast, they are so easy. Wash, dry, and bag up a head of lettuce. Prepare and veggies you want. Assemble in morning with a bit of protein on top.

From Erin: for alisoncsmith, Easy Spelt Pancakes: from Whole Grain Baking by King Arthur Fl[...]our yield: 16 (4 inch) pancakes Ingredients 2 cups whole spelt flour 2 tbsp. sugar 1 tbsp. baking powder 3/4 tsp. salt 1 3/4 cups milk 2 tbsp. unsalted butter, melted 2 tsp. vanilla (optional) Method 1. Whisk together all dry ingredients in a large bowl. Combine milk, melted butter and vanilla, if using, in a smaller vessel. Create a well in the dry ingredients and pour the milk mixture in. Stir the batter just until the dry ingredients are thoroughly moistened; it will seem very wet, but will thicken as it sits. Let batter sit for 15 minutes. 2. Stir batter, and make pancakes on a hot griddle!

mary b - we love crepes. just don't love standing in front of stove to make the full batch, so relegated to weekends or days when the kids are up crazy early. savory fillings usually include spinach or mushrooms (or both) sauteed with shallot or onion & garlic, then add some soft cheese (just take rondele or something from fridge), and that makes it creamy enough to not need sauce. sweet = that nutella again

I missed the Table Talk of Jan. 20, so read it today. There was mention of using oatmeal as a savory part of a meal, but no one seems to have any recipes. I have a little booklet, “The Quaker Oats Wholegrain Cookbook that was printed in 1978. It contains many recipes for using oats in many different ways. My family loved the savory one called Basic Golden Oats, which consists of uncooked oats mixed with a raw egg until coated, then cooked in a bit of butter for a few minutes, until dry and separated. Then water or broth is added, cook until liquid evaporates. Lends itself well to bits of leftover veg, meat,herbs,etc. Delish!
