Oatmeal. I've been making it up in the rice cooker on the weekends and putting it in serving size containers with sugar. Just haul it out, micro-zap for 2 minutes, stir and eat. I can't stand the instant so this is the next closest thing!
What have you had for breakfast lately?

I'm actually sitting here eating a bowl of leftover veggie chili for breakfast.

All you're missing Steve is the poached egg on top--I often eat chili for breakfast, topped with a poached egg...

I hadn't considered that with chili, but it sounds good.

Have you tried zapping the old fashioned rolled oats in the food processor and then cooking them ?

Get out! You can cook oatmeal in a rice cooker?! Can I get some details on that? Sounds genius.

Homemade donuts & coffee.

It's a British breakfast specialty. Soldiers are strips of toasted bread with butter. The idea is that you have a soft cooked egg with runny yolk, and you dip the toast strips into the egg.
One cup of regular rolled oats to 4 cups water. Don't use quick or instant oats. Mine has the "fuzzylogic" and turns off when it's done. Looks soupy until you go to stir it, I was sure I ruined my first batch. Steel cut oats work great, as well.
This gives me one cup of oatmeal each morning (I work 4 shifts a week).

Yesterday's Sunday Brunch - Tropical fruit salad (mango, papaya, and pineapple) with creme fraiche, Italian fritatta with eggs (of course), cubed potato, sofrito, Italian sausage, and my personal parmagiano reggiano and asiago cheese blend; toasted Boudin sourdough garlic and cheese bread, mimosas, and coffee

umphh. there's this heavy rock in my stomach. my porridge came out a little too thick today, but it tasted fine so i was eating away, digging for peach and plum "wells" when all of a sudden a trap door slammed, putting an abrupt end to my breakfast--probably lunch, too. i wish there would be some warning before that trap door thing happens. it's like one spoon you're fine, but halfway to the next spoonful, you're carrying a medicine ball in your midsection--umphh....

Mini crullers donuts & a couple of mini snicker candy bars with coffee.
Oatmeal, I'm terribly exciting. Mostly it's because I don't want to think when I'm stumbling around in the morning.
