A Week's Worth of Breakfasts

 

I don't know about anyone else but I sometimes find breakfast the hardest meal to decide on.  I rarely add it to any week's meal planner as I just never know what I am going to fancy an hour or so after I wake up.  Is it going to be a hot thing or a cold thing, a cereal thing or a savoury thing ... I just don't know until I wake up and have my first couple of drinks.

I always start the day with a cup of hot water with a slice of lemon and then move swiftly on to a mug of coffee, only then can I ponder the food that I am fancying.

So I thought I would photograph an entire weeks breakfasts and see for myself how random my choices were.

The first day was the tomatoes and onion on toast shown on the top photo, which started off like this, with the tomatoes and onion sautéed gently until they were deliciously soft and then poured over some hummus spread toast.

Messy to look at, delicious to eat, and very satisfying.

The next day was just plain and simple porridge, not additions other than a level teaspoon of soft brown sugar.

The following day I fancied something quite substantial so I scrambled one egg in the microwave and cooked a couple of Linda McCartney Lincolnshire sausages.  With a dollop of the tomato sauce this was lovely.

The next day and the frying pan was back out.  Once again it was red onion and two more tomatoes that needed using up, with a light sprinkle of garlic and onion granules to add some extra flavour.

This time I spread my toast with some of the Basil Pesto that I had opened in the fridge.

A very tasty and very garlicky breakfast.  😃

The following day I was back to porridge, this time cooked with some frozen banana pieces and a dash of cinnamon powder.  There's no photo of the finished bowl of porridge, it was early ... I forgot!!

The next day I decided on some scrambled eggs, cooked this time in a pan on the hob with lots of the Naturli spread and lots of pepper and salt.

For the final day of the week there's no photo of my actual breakfast as we were staying at Beck Hall, the first totally plant-based hotel in England.  

We chose from their beautiful breakfast menu. My choice was scrambled tofu with beans, sausage, hash browns and grilled tomato, and Alan had just beans, sausage and mushrooms as he was still full from the three course meal we had eaten the night before.  With copious refills of our coffee cups it was just what we needed before we headed for home after a lovely night away for Alan's birthday.

So that's what a week of breakfasts for me looks like.

What is your favourite breakfast, do you eat the same thing everyday or do you chop and change like me?
