Fun breakfast ideas to share anyone?
| Mon, 11-17-2008 - 8:33pm |
I'm planning out our Thanksgiving and making my shopping list this week, and for the life of me I have no idea what we normally do for breakfast that day! I'd like something that will tide them over until a late-ish lunch (we'll eat around 2 I think, not sure yet).
Any good (but relatively easy as I'll be SICK of cooking by then!) breakfast recipes?
I have a wonderful sticky roll recipe, but we do that for Christmas morning and I'd prefer something with a bit of protein to it.
Anyone? What are your Thanksgiving morning traditions, do you have any?



What about a do-it-yourself oatmeal bar? Regular oatmeal cooks in 4 minutes by the bowl in the microwave. Then put out things to add (maple syrup, brown sugar, fruit (berries or bananas), ground flaxseed if you're wanting a very healthy slant, warm apples and cinnamon). If you'd like, you can also have proteins available - scrambled eggs, hard boiled eggs, sausage, bacon, Canadian bacon, or veggie versions of any of the meat choices.
What about a strata (eggs, cheese, and bread mixed together/layered and baked)? You can put that together the night before and just pop it in the oven in the a.m. If this sounds good to you, I have a recipe, just don't have it at my fingertips.
If they need a little something to tide them over mid-morning and they like pumpkin pie, pumpkin pie smoothies are fun. The usual smoothie base (I use 1/2 cup yogurt and 1/2 cup milk), 2 tablespoons of canned pumpkin (not pie filling, plain old pumpkin) and a few shakes of pumpkin pie spice. Blend it up and you're ready to go! (This is a single serving by the way).

What fun ideas! If you get time, I'd love your strata recipe.
We're huge fans of smoothies here, definitely putting the pumpkin smoothie on the list for mid morning, thanks.
Not feeling very well so I took a few minutes while sitting in bed watching tv to copy the strata recipe. I put it under the Wine and Dine heading so others could find it too. It's from Flylady's website and is now a family staple Christmas morning. There is nothing particularly Christmasy about it so I think it would be great Thanksgiving morning. It does take 50 minutes to bake so it may interfere with your turkey (if you're making one and starting early). Needs to be in at 350 degrees so you might be able to bake it simultaneously if your oven has room for both.
Enjoy!!
I am not a from scratch kinda girl..I normally buy Cinnabons from the mall and we heat those up for breakfast. Along with juice or smoothies.
I'd like the recipe for sticky buns if you dont mind.
