I saw this idea on Sarah's blog and love hearing what other people eat, so I decided to do my own.
Breakfast
Growing up I never ate breakfast. My mom always tried to get us to eat breakfast, but I just wan't hungry. Maybe some toast once in a while, but that's about it. On the weekends growing up we would have donuts, apple cinnamon muffins, or cinnamon rolls.
After I got married I started to take breakfast more seriously, but I went to work early, so it was often a granola bar or protein bar. Nothing too exciting. On the weekends Adam often made egg scrambles {eggs, shaved meat, mushrooms, shredded cheese, sometimes potatoes}. We still do this about once a weekend. They are my most favorite breakfast food! Since having kids I often eat eggs.
Common breakfast: *always served with a cold can of Mtn. Dew
- scrambled eggs w/ ham, cheese, & mushrooms {easy to make 2 days worth at one time}
- peanut butter toast {oldie but a goodie!} *crunchy pb obviously! ;)
- hard egg w/ ham and swiss cheese on a lightly toasted piece of bread
More rare:
- hard egg w/ ham and swiss cheese on a croissant {fav!} or mini bagel
- Casey's ham or bacon breakfast pizza -- the absolute best, but again soo many calories!
- If we're at a restaurant I always order the hashbrowns with American cheese -- so, so good!
Kids favorite breakfasts:
- mini chocolate chip muffins with a Danimals yogurt
- cereal {cinnamon toast crunch or lucky charms} with fruit
- mini bagel with pb or butter and an applesauce pouch or fruit strip
- pancakes with chocolate chips {J} or Skittles {C} when they're with Adam's parents
I get an hour lunch break, but often eat leftover or something super quick so I can let Lola out and do a chore or two around the house {fold laundry, unload dishwasher, etc.} or run an errand {post office, grocery store, etc.} *A perk of living in a small town for sure!
Current standbys:
- leftovers if we have them (I'm new to eating leftovers, but getting better. I'll eat leftover lasagna, pizza, pulled pork, chicken & rice, etc.)
- ham or turkey sandwich (preferred with bacon, cheese, and a fresh bun or croissant)
- peanut butter toast
- some kind of quick freezer food -- chicken cordon bleu, chicken sandwich, hot pocket, etc.
- eggs
- tuna packet + Ritz crackers
More rare:
- pork tenderloin from the local ice cream shop
- pizza from Casey's
- a sub from Subway
Snacks
- cashews
- string cheese + Wheat Thins
- The Laughing Cow cheese wedge + Ritz crackers
- popcorn
- mini Hershey's with milk chocolate and almonds or toffee
Dinner
*Cullyn has practice this night out of town, so I usually grocery shop on this night and we pick something to contribute to the meal
