What’s your preferred quick breakfast?
2A local dairy owns a local chain of convenience stores. They were originally created to sell the milk (which is fresh and excellent). They have lots of stuff now. I’m not supposed to but now and then I stop on my way to work and grab a double jalapeño biscuits and gravy. I know the biscuits are mass produced and the gravy is canned but it’s soo good.
Mmm…I’m hungry now.

If I feel like walking up to the gas station, there’s a taco joint inside that makes some killer desayunos. But usually I just do bacon and eggs, or oatmeal (with Stuff) in the nuke.
@werehatrack
this.
breakfast tacos and burrities. etc.
the absolute best for on the go
I’m lucky there is a local fuel center and truck stop that does extraordinary ones rather cheaply. 24 hours.
W*** croissant egg bacon and cheese S*****
Dinner leftovers are usually quick.
So is just a slice of Entenmann’s cake.
Cereal with fruit is the next fastest.
Sandwiches, depending on stock (PB/J/meat/bread).
Followed by ten minute eggs.
Oatmeal takes longer than just 5 minutes for me.
A little lower on the favorites ladder is instant to-go breakfasts (bars); i savor my sitting tim damnit!
My recent breakfast was leftover buñelos (cornmeal donut puffs; mostly hollow). Slightly toasted with water to warm/soften, find the hollow side and stab a hole to pipe with onion & chives cream cheese, and then stuff the piping hole with a thumb of mozzarella. Toasted until golden brown; the inner cheese will be only slightly warm, must use napkins to hold the hot greasy donut.

Starbucks: Americano & sausage, egg, cheese on an English muffin.
Nice size Bowl of GRITS w/ butter, Anything else on them, well I would NOT eat them & they get thrown out into the Woods.
@mycya4me Pepper is a nice touch, IMO
@mycya4me @tweezak
I like to throw some of my fermented Chipotle hot sauce on them. But then again, I also like cheese in mine.
@tweezak To each their own! What ever tickles your fancy! Or what ever floats your Boat!
@mycya4me Whatever butters your grits.
You know, I really like that. Feel free to steal that. It would be fun to hear it come back to me someday.

@tweezak well I have been doing it since I started eating them, ONLY butter nothing else, I buy the Plain ones so I can add as little or much as I like.
I also heard from the Red Cross blood service. that instant grits are a great way to boost your iron levels!
@mycya4me
In that case… Follow link…
@mycya4me @tweezak
yes pepper.
@f00l @tweezak as I said before: To each their own! What ever tickles your fancy! Or what ever floats your Boat! I don’t use pepper!
Depends on my mood but my go tos are chilaquiles, pho or bibimbap. I definitely prefer savory breakfast. There are some smashing food trucks nearby where I can get any of those, they don’t break the bank and they’re bloody delicious.
White fish salad on a toasted half everything bagel.
@Felton10
isn’t half of everything still everything?
@chienfou @Felton10
Technically it’s also half of half of everything.
Does it still count as breakfast if you don’t eat it until after noon??
@MrGoodGuy sure if you’re breaking a fast.
@MrGoodGuy @sillyheathen Yup! Exactly! My lunch is normally how I break my fast…I do eat a handful of vitamins & supplements, so technically I do get a few calories with those. I’ve been doing that for over 3 years as I’ve been working towards getting my health back…So far, so good, BTW!!
@MrGoodGuy @sillyheathen @tohar1 Does it have to be break fast? Why not CRUSH fast?
/showme iHop where everyone is CRUSHING IT while when they eat their pancakes and coffee.
@cfg83 Here’s the image you requested for “iHop where everyone is CRUSHING IT while when they eat their pancakes and coffee.”
@mediocrebot You’re welcome.
@cfg83 @MrGoodGuy @sillyheathen I do like where you’re going there, and believe you me, I’d love to CRUSH me a big old pile of hotcakes, Johnny cakes, waffles, etc., but alas, not to be anymore…by choice, for the most part.
@MrGoodGuy @sillyheathen @tohar1 Oh yeah, but we can still eat the smaller portions with gusto. When I was young, I could have a burger, fries and a shake at one time. In my middle years I can 2 out of three. Now I can have one out of three or happy meal portions, but I can still have a wee bit.
/showme iHop where everyone is SMASHING IT while when they eat their SINGLE pancake and coffee.
@cfg83 Here’s the image you requested for “iHop where everyone is SMASHING IT while when they eat their SINGLE pancake and coffee.”
@mediocrebot YEAHHHH!!!
PS : I take no remuneration from Big BREAKfast trying to reinvent itself in a world of constant distract … Oh! A squirrel!!!
/showme iHop where squirrels are SMASHING IT while when they eat their SINGLE walnut encrusted pancake with coffee.
@mediocrebot Did I hurt your feelings? Let’s try again …

@mediocrebot this is unhinged and I’m all for it
@cfg83 That’s a pretty yummy looking pancake.
Bacon and eggs. Sometimes with toast, sometimes with cheese. Mostly just the two stars of the show. It is also sometimes my preferred quick dinner.
@simplysme
Unless you’re using precooked bacon I wouldn’t consider that as being “quick”.
@chienfou @simplysme It only takes a few minutes to cook a couple slices of bacon to crispy in the microwave.
@macromeh
D’oh… Forgot that option. I always use a skillet and press…
Cereal normally. A container of yogurt eating in the car while I am driving to wherever it is that made it so the breakfast had to be quick.
@Kidsandliz
Anything that requires two hands to consume seems like a bad idea in a car.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@chienfou @Kidsandliz Three hands is even worse!
@Kidsandliz FYI the Kind peanut butter granola that was recently sold here goes really good on plain Greek yogurt. (did I mention I’ve been making a lot of tzatziki?)
It’s summertime so I always seem to have a blender full of gazpacho in my fridge. Also, I’ve recently been doing some Persian cooking so I always now seem to have a big tub of homemade tzatziki (dill, not mint) and have that with some toasted pita bread. Admittedly, I should really be making my own flat bread at the rate I plow through it.
So, yeah. Cold tomato soup with warm pita and cold tzatziki is what I’m normally having in the morning.
Or Cinnamin Toast Crunch.
It’s a coin flip
edit - And I just realized I’ve got three 'Z’s in my breakfast. I guess Zs are a part of this complete breakfast
@capnjb It’s good that you are putting some of those excess Zs to use - being the least-used letter they must be piling up somewhere…
@macromeh Yeah, they were on discount. I got them on Meh.
@macromeh Maybe pizza for dinner to get my recommended daily allowance of Zs
Coffee + Plain Croissant.
@cfg83 I make both
@capnjb Ha ha, I should have said Capnjb coffee!
@cfg83 I’ve heard it’s overrated
@capnjb @cfg83
Q: What is Tattoo’s favorite croissant?
A: The plain! The plain!
@cfg83 @macromeh You have no idea how much I appreciate outdated dad jokes
golf clap
I do like granola and yogurt with a splash of milk to keep it from being too dry.
Also, yogurt and cottage cheese stirred together is a nice sweet and savory combo.
Sometimes just a couple 6 minute eggs is good.
I’m doing Keto, so there aren’t many choices. Certainly not my fav quick bk.
@Schmive Bacon and eggs. Also, Costco sells these breadless egg cheese and sausage sandwiches. I have one most days and they are pretty decent. I don’t follow the heating instructions. I take the cheese out and warm up the rest spread out on a plate. Then put it together and the cheese melts nicely.
