Amy's Breakfast Recipe

Ingredients:

1 box of cereal (variant)

1 bowl

1 spoon

1 bowlful of milk

Pour first the cereal, then milk, into the bowl. Eat it with the spoon.

Fast. Impossible to mess up.

My kind of breakfast.

Eggs: Theme & Variations

I was thinking through my favorite breakfasts and came to the conclusion that I rarely have an egg-free one. So, hopefully this doesn't count as too common because I'm going to show how my standard egg recipes have evolved into something a little more eggs-trordinary. hee hee hee.

I like these because pretty much all of the prep work can be done the night before and it makes me feel as if you're having a fancy breakfast.

my breakfast contribution

Mr. Tupman (thanks for the name for my husband, John!) makes me this for breakfast a lot, and I absolutely love it!

We call this "Egg in a Toast."

Ingredients needed:

Bread

Eggs

Salt and Pepper

All you have to do, is rip out a circle from the middle of the bread - about half dollar sized. Then you put it in the frying pan (and we melt a little butter in the pan before we put it in) and crack an egg into the bread. Salt and pepper to taste, and cook like you would a regular egg. We also like to put some cherry tomatoes in the pan while it's cooking. It makes a nice addition to an already yummy breakfast.

I don't even like eggs, but this may be my favorite breakfast ever! I love poking the egg so the yolk runs out, then dipping my bread into the yolk.

Breakfast ideas

As I'm sure you can all imagine since you know how little a morning person I am, breakfasts really aren't my strong point and I tend to not be very creative.

I do have good intentions, though. I have a whole folder of bookmarks devoted to breakfast. So I'll share some links with you instead of an actual recipe.

• Carrot cake waffles
• Pumpkin spice granola
• Idaho sunrise
• Strawberry smoothie
• Make your own cereal

breakfast week

I, Beth, hereby declare this week Breakfast Week.

Post your favorite breakfast recipe.

The catch - no waffles, pancakes, or other common breakfast items.
