Breakfast Challenged
Breakfast is rather inconsistent in our house. Leisurely and more substantial breakfasts are generally reserved for the weekend, but weekdays, its often grabbing a bowl of cereal, or skipping altogether.
I need to find more for our breakfast menu. Sweet pastries or breads seem unhealthy for everyday and I feel I have to pace how often I eat eggs, and for that matter, bacon! My repertoire is limited; omelets or scrambled eggs sometimes accompanied by sausage or bacon, cold cereal or oatmeal and every once in a while; kanji (rice porridge) and canned toppings for an Asian style breakfast.
It finally being slightly cooler today we had hot cereal -oatmeal- for a change. I topped it with some leftover cooked apple and caramel sauce I got from a friend. (We had made Tarte Tatin at her house earlier in the week). I grabbed a few pine nuts, sliced almonds, cashews and chopped a little dried apricot as a topping, and spooned the caramel mixture over everything. Not super healthy, but still a nice change :)
What can I make for breakfast that is healthy, tasty and doesn't take forever? Even today's oatmeal took over half an hour, being the steel cut variety.
