What a delicious question! I adore oatmeal and toast in the morning with a nice cup of strong black coffee. Being from the South, every Sunday we walk a block to our favorite brunch location and have grits!

i'm an early bird riser, i love to take my time in the morning because it feels like a delicious secret.

i always wake up very very thirsty? and drink a ton of water in the morning, but don't eat until a fwe hours after getting up for some reason unknown too. haha its funny how i am unaware of my habits until i talk about them. i love organic cereal or toast with honey, and my favorite breakfast is a nice fruit smoothie.

oh yum. Mornings are a bit rough for me--I've never quite adjusted to the *early* start to the day since being a parent. So the food is important to get me up and out of bed happily (really!). I go for tea right away, and then a bit later, some toast with gobs of butter. Even later in the morning, I'll do plain yogurt with homemade granola and fruit. Yum!! It's almost that time now!

ah it’s got to be porridge *every weekday morning*

At the weekend it would involve eggs, bacon, and potato scones!

Me too...Porridge every week day morn (HAS to be Scots fine milled porridge oats made up with water!), with set honey, which melts into a caramelly pool of goodness....plus a cup of Twinings Assam tea with milk!

Weekend (generally on a sunday) bacon, sausage, potato scones, fruit pudding, mushrooms and tomato all fried up :)

If feeling very indulgent, I make a very plain cake of bitter chocolate with orange, and a deliciously damp slice of that with a cup of coffee is just tickety-boo!!

breakfast, well i wish i could say i wake up and make a glorious breakfast but i dont. I hate climbing out from under my warm fluffy duvet. Luckily my son has always liked to sleep in ( 9am, late compared to some kids! ) So we wake up and i make a pot of tea and we have muffins anykind with oatmeal, or smoothies, granola with berries ( i have a rasberry bush in my backyard!! ) and sometimes waffles with berries and real whiped cream.. yum. I love astrids breakfast photos just gorgeous!

my favorite breakfast is two hardboiled eggs, without the yellow middly stuff, cashews, green grapes, and water. YUM. this little concotion keeps me going alll morning. when, i actually preplan, i boil up a whole batch of egss, fill up little baggies of the right amount of grapes, and have a can of cashews in the cabinet. when i don't plan...i eat cereal. Strawberry Yogert Cheerios!
loves!!

black coffee (2 cups is perfect) is the most important part of my morning. on weekdays i usually have cereal, toast, or yogurt. i love navel oranges, too. on weekends, we have our dutch baby ritual or smoothies. saturdays usually involve a walk to our favorite diner for waffles, bacon, and eggs.

i love having breakfast for dinner, too. do you ever do that? we like to have cheese grits, bacon, and biscuits. yum!

Apple cinnamon muffins (self baked preferably) and good Italian coffee. That's my favorite. (But somehow I always have a slice of bread with peanutbutter and a cup of tea instead)

hot chocolate and a scone from my favorite morning place right across the street from work...lovely

but those healthy breakfasts - lots of yogurt and oatmeal or granola - sound good too...

Breakfast/brunch is my favorite meal!! Unfortunately on weekdays I'm always rushing about trying to get out of the house on time. I normally eat either plain yogurt with a bit of fruit and honey mixed in or some cereal. Which is fine, but my favorite favorite favorite breakfast food is eggs. Normally on the weekends we prepare a delicious egg breakfast. I love making scrambled eggs with some fresh dill and crumbled feta cheese. Lately we've been making scrambled egg sandwiches with sauted peppers and onions and some melted swiss on top. YUM!!! I can't wait for Saturday!

Oh and I absolutely love Astrid's breakfast photos. They are so inspiring!

hi mav!
i'm similar to you actually...
homemade granola (a la the rancho la puerta recipe over at orangette), greek style yogurt, fruit...naughty things like bacon and eggs and french toast on the weekend. i love love love breakfast foods.

Mine is a high protein flavored yogurt with a home made espresso. Once a year
eggs, bacon, hash browns covered with gravy..all the bad stuff!

Hmm. well if I can travel 300 miles around the world for breakfast, I7d have to say my favorite breakfast is a stack of buckwheat pancakes and coffee at the Big Sur Inn. All the while sitting next to their wood buring stove and listening to the classical music they sometimes play. I love that place!

Another granola and yogurt girl here! My breakfast every day - even weekends, usually! - is a bowl of Heritage Os cereal with homemade granola smattered on top, stirred together with plain yogurt. Mmmm, mmm! And lately I've been adding a side of stewed prunes. For summer, though, I'll be back to fresh fruit...blueberries, raspberries, a peach or two. Your raspberries look gorgeous, m'dear, and I love that bowl!

A large mug of hot tea with lemon, Stonybrooke yogurt with Bear Naked granola and a banana to start. After perusing e-mail, I have a chunk of Green & Black's dark chocolate with hazelnuts and currants plus a small handful of almonds. Topped off with a tall glass of water and I am set til noon. The weekend brings yogurt and fruit in the form of a smoothie and a slice of Maxim's Blueberry Yogurt cake from: http://chocolateandzucchini.com/

Yogurt--what would we all do without it? If you haven't tried FAGE authentic Greek yogurt, I must warn you that it's addictive! Thick like sour cream, it is heavenly with a dollup of strawberry jam, maybe some granola. Always with an iced tea (it's never really cold here in Houston) Otherwise, it's the remnants of my children's breakfast, which is often grilled cheese or scrambled eggs. I should really take a cue from Mav and Astrid and get up a bit earlier!

Mav, thanks for taking the time to check out my colors. You are so very thoughtful.

YOU HAVE ALL MADE ME HAVE TO TAKE AN EARLY LUNCH!!!!!!!!! :)

prunes
green tea
flax seed toast with crunchy peanut butter, creamed honey, and banana

on weekends when my husband gets crazy in the kitchen: scrambled eggs with the works--mushrooms, onions, cheese, sausage; french toast and mango smoothies
(often this weekend meal gets eaten around noon).

isn't it true that this meal--breakfast--can set the tone of the day? reflecting on the morning foods I love, I am struck by this today: we are blessed to have so many choices, such abundance, such good food!

Astrid´s food photos are always so beautiful!! My breakfast is typical german: bread and sausage :)

earl grey or pg tips tea with milk always first thing and then fresh fruit and vanilla yogurt or a luna bar if i'm out the door. and on the weekends eggs with hot sauce and maple bacon!!!

mine would be eggs benedict & with home fried or cut potatoes..but for the weekends only. during the week, it's two pieces of cinnamin bread toast or vanilla yogurt with granola. i LOVE breakfast food. If I could go out for Brunch everyday I would....

i love this photo maria. its so pretty. as you probably know, my favorite breakfast food is coffee with cream and either cookies or chocolate bars.

As I commented on Flickr, I love everything about this photo, mav. It's so beautiful!
Thank you so much for your kind words about my breakfast shots. It really made me happy :D I will definitely keep the breakfast shots coming. Do I need to say what I like for breakfast? I think my photos tell it all ;-)

morning, mav! (in my part of the world at least ;)
I'm enjoying my crispbread with paté and am nowadays drinking tea first thing in the morning followed by a highly cherished caffe latte when I get to the workshop. with a jolt in my stomach I had a flash of sitting outside with my back against the wall drinking my coffee in the sun... oh how i long for spring!!
i totally missed your music post of yesterday, but love all the tips from others! xkarin

breakfest, a feast for the eyes, anything on a pretty table, set before me like this image...I am in heaven for breakfest!

hi mav
thank you for continue to inspire and make me think about the little things. i love this image you have posted and found it diffiult to think of a better breakfast. but here goes.

I love the morning coffee ritual - my husband makes the best coffee and we sit and talk for the 5 minutes it takes to drink it - before we have to get up and rush to get ready. I also really love homemade muesli filled with nuts and seeds and cinnamon. and for a treat i enjoy a buttery crusty croissant on the weekends.
