What I Ate Wednesday- Breakfast Edition
Don’t worry, I’ll still follow the rules.
I’m not just going to show you a weeks worth of breakfast or something. That would be really really boring, since I basically rotate the same 2-3 things for breakfast. But it just so happens that almost everything I ate yesterday could be considered a breakfast food. Weird, no? But I love breakfast, so that shouldn’t be terribly surprising.
Breakfast: (The Real One):
I’ve been eating a bowl of Fiber One Honey Clusters in the morning. I realized it comes from a package and blah blah blah but it’s been keeping me more full and satisfied than my regular morning smoothies. Not that my smoothies are out of the rotation for good, but I like that Fiber One is doing it’s job.
Morning Snack:
I forgot one. Which was sad and my stomach was grumbling all the way to lunch. Even worse, I went to the gym during lunch so I didn’t get to eat until almost 1pm. I was about to get grouchy.
Lunch (Breakfast number 2):
Since I didn’t have yogurt for breakfast, I decided to have yogurt for lunch. A container of yogurt with an insane amount of frozen berries is kind of my favorite thing. (Forgive the recycled picture. I don’t have fun bowls like this one at work.)
Afternoon snack:
Ok so I guess this isn’t just a breakfast food, but I’ve been known to slather on some nut butter and call it that.
[Breakfast for] Dinner:
Remember the girls I made dinner for last week? Well we decided to do breakfast for dinner this week.
Yumm. It was so good. I was looking for a hash brown recipe and Debbie from Accidentally Delish sent me this one. I loved the idea of something southwestern but I ended up not really following the recipe. This is what I ended up using:
Southwestern Hash Browns
- 3/4 of a large sweet onion
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 2 cups shredded potatoes (I used frozen!)
- 1 cup black beans
- 1 cup sweet corn
- 1/3 cup shredded cheddar
- Garlic pepper
- Garlic powder
- Crushed red pepper
- Salt
I diced up the onion and sautéed it in the vegetable oil and spices until it was soft, then stirred in the potatoes and cooked until they were lightly brown (and not frozen…) and then added in the black beans and corn and let sit for 10 minutes covered, on low heat. Then I topped with cheese and stirred right before serving. It actually came out pretty tasty! I think it would have been really good topped with some salsa... mmm…
Breakfast is definitely the best meal of the day – nothing wrong with porridge for dinner! I wouldn’t have hash browns for breakfast but I’d scoff those ones down for dinner, they look great 🙂
I totally have days when I eat all breakfast foods. That is usally what I do when I am by myslef since they are quick and easy 🙂
i love having breakfast for every meal in one day! it’s definitely my favorite meal.
that really is a day of breakfast! I like savory foods, so I don’t think I could do breakfast that much. Your dinner looks delicious.
Breakfast for dinner sounds perfect!
Those hashbrowns are going to need to happen soon.
we just finished omelets for dinner because of you. Yes, DELICIOUS! plus potatoes!
I can’t stop eating grapefruits right now!
Southwestern hash browns sound delicious! Most of my favorite meals are breakfast – so It’s great to eat them all day.
I love breakfast foods ALL DAY! That makes the day seem so fun!!!
I have been craving yogurt bowls at every meal since I ran out of greek yogurt on Sunday 😉
