As the title suggests, this thread is for breakfast recipes, ideas, and discussion.

Please add your newly discovered recipes or tried and true personal or family favorites here.

Breakfast items or recipes don't have to be limited to morning obviously... A favorite dinner at our house has always been "breakfast for dinner" which we have on average 3-5 times a month.

You know what they say, "breakfast is the most important meal of the day" and "Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a pauper."

BUT...

Sometimes a lack of time is a problem....

My boys used to love these when we were in a hurry in the morning and on the run or sometimes just as a special treat. They thought they were getting spoiled with a desert in the morning. I knew we were all getting a quick but healthy start to the day. smile.


"Breakfast Banana splits"
