Fabulous Friday Chat
Permalink  
 


Ok, I know it is barely Friday, but I am starting a chat thread anyway! (I really wanted to ask this question, lol-I am very curious)

What is your typical breakfast?  And what do you like to have on weekends and/or special occasions?

Also, what are your plans for the holiday weekend???

I need to go to bed. I really do.

My typical breakfast is a peanut granola bar. On a good day, it is a scambled egg, and that is what I aspire to most of the time, but the bars are so easy...

My fave breakfast for a special occasion is Eggs Benedict. YUM.

And on weekends, we usually have pancakes one day-Bill makes those. Though I did make waffles today (completely unheard of, as I am NOT a morning person) and they were pretty good!

This weekend, the weather is looking good here, so Bill is going to finish the retaining wall out front, and hopefully we will get a few other odds and ends done around the house.

Also, we are having a combined b-day party on Sunday, for Bill's mom, Jaime and Bill. Should be fun!!

Good Morning smile

I usually eat granola cereal with milk in the mornings.  My favorite breakfast is eggs benedict too, I like it with smoked salmon.  I also love caviar and butter on crispy bread. Oh and I love crepes.

Our breakfast during weekends is pretty much the same, sometimes I will make buttermilk pancakes (from scratch) but that's about it.

This is our last weekend in Manila so we're going to just have fun.  Go to the movies, go shopping, go out to eat, etc.  On Monday we're meetings DH's co-workers for lunch at this really nice Mediterranean restaurant.

We had a great day today except that I overate again disbelief I had lunch at this really nice Vietnamese restaurant and their bbq beef, egg rolls and chicken was heavenly, plus it came with rice wraps, noodles, bean sprouts, cucumbers, shredded carrots, lettuce and the sauce.  You had to wrap these in the rice paper.  It was heavenly but too much food.  Then we went to Christopher's favorite cookie shop.

We also stumbled upon Dora and Diego concert in the mall and got front row seats for free!  And then Christopher got a photo with Dora.  He was never a big fan of Dora but now he loves her wink Then we met with DH and went out for dinner.  I didn't eat though, I was still full from lunch OINK blush.gif

It was a nice day smile Now I have to go and work on some homework yawn

hi everyone!  we normally do yogurt and fruit in the mornings.  mason also puts cereal in his.  on the weekends, efe makes pancakes for mason.  i don't like them much though, so i don't eat them.  i keep saying i'm going to make some from scratch (efe makes them from a box) but then i never do.  hmmmm...  i really do need to do that.

Good morning!

Usually breakfast is coffee for me and then for a snack later I try to eat something with protein.  Sometimes my snack ends up being lunch.

My favorite breakfast is going to eat somewhere.  I actually prefer breakfast food later in the day and so we have it for dinner sometimes.

This weekend we are going to visit dh's mother and his siblings in Cincinnati.  I hope I can get some shopping in too.  Elizabeth needs a rain coat and rain boots because of school.  I have looked for them here with no luck.  If I don't find them this weekend I guess I will order some from land's end.  Yep, I'm not terribly exciting. giggle.gif

Irina I hope your last weekend with your dh is great. 

April your breakfast choice sounds fantastic to me!  I love marinas for some reason.

Laura I hope you all enjoy the birthday celebrations.

Sara what are you doing this weekend?

Sonya I can't wait to see pictures of your apartment!  I am glad you are all moved. biggrin

I

sonya - congrats on the move! can't wait to see pics.  the sleeping situation should work itself out soon - my 3 kids were out of wack a few days when we moved 2 years ago.


breakfast...  usually a protein and fruit smoothie with rice or almond milk.  or, if i am looking for something to chew on a slice of wheat and ham or chicken to make a small sandwich.

Good morning everyone!!!

My ususual breakfast is a bowl of cereal. Boring, i know.

On the weekends sometimes I'll make pancakes and turkey bacon, or scrambled eggs and toast. I'm not a big breakfast person, but M2 seems to enjoy the food, so we'll make breakfast together. The time together is fun!

What's everyone doing this weekend?

Morning!

I usually eat a bowl of cereal (Cinnamon Life cereal most of the time, but right now Froot Loops) and a piece of toast.

Or a bowl of cereal and a poptart.

Or a bowl of cereal and a muffin.

Or a bowl of cereal and a biscuit.

If there are bananas or grapes here, I'll also eat that with my breakfast.

Plus I always drink a glass of milk with my breakfast.

We stop and get M2 a smoothie for breakfast 2 times a week.  They built a smoothie place right next to his school.  He loves smoothies!!

Nothing. I eat nothing. Sometimes yogurt if there is enough time.
I don't eat until Grant gets home. And by that point I feel like I'm about to pass out.
But between Colin and Adelaide, all I can do is guzzle down water. If I'm lucky, I can scarf down something quick for lunch.

But that's about it.  Bad, I know. no
I think one day this week I got very lucky and had Adelaide back down to sleep and was able to make eggs and sausage for breakfast.

And since we had breakfast for dinner one night this week and had left over batter, I made waffles for Colin and Grant yesterday morning when he got home from work. :) But there was only enough batter for them and I didn't feel like making batter for just one more waffle.


On those rare, rare days that I have a long nap, I can squeeze in fruit!
