…is Folgers in your cup!
Breakfast is my favourite meal of the day, hands down. If I could, I’d make myself a home-made extra special deluxe super duper breakfast platter every morning.
It also happens to be one of the few meals I am fully comfortable with making.
- Scrambled/fried/hard-boiled/omelet eggs? I can do that.
- Bacon/fake bacon/ham/sausages/breakfast paddies? I can do that.
- Toast? Toast with butter? French toast? I can do that.
- Pancakes/waffles/Chinese pancakes1? I can do that.2
- Fruit? I can do that.
- Coffee/(soy) milk? I can do that.
Unfortunately, I don’t have time to do all that every morning. But every Sunday morning, without fail, I make myself an enormous breakfast platter. Sunday mornings are the best. It’s my last day of the weekend, so I know I have to get some work done. The first thing I do is brew myself a nice hot cup of hazelnut coffee. I drink my coffee without milk/cream/whitener because 1) I am lactose intolerant, and 2) that is the way coffee is supposed to be drunk, so buying high-quality (hazelnut) coffee roast is a must.
Then I’ll have any combination of the above (things that I can make). I usually don’t have bacon/sausages so I must forgo the meat portion of the programming, but I can make tons of things with eggs, so I still get my protein.
This morning was no exception. Check out the fancy colourful super duper awesome breakfast platter of the day:
This platter features scrambled egg whites, fresh strawberries, toast drizzled with maple syrup, and yogurt sprinkled with some fiber cereal flakes.
It is also exactly 200 calories.
Huzzah!

- Chinese green onion pancakes are deliciously light and fried; made of flour – multi-layered almost like a pastry, but still thin, with salt and green onions [↩]
- By “I can do that,” I mean, I can buy that. [↩]
Oh my! That’s a lot of food for 200 calories. I like it and i agree with you that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Except today.. i have a hangover and i put myself on a strict coffee diet. No milk!
I love the chinese pancakes you described. Yum!

Zenchef: The best way to get over a hangover is to have juice! If you drink coffee, you’re just going to be more dehydrated!
I learned (through my many hungover mornings) that replenishing your body with vitamins and minerals is the fastest way to recover from a night of drinking. So take an all-inclusive vitamin pill, drink some orange juice, and make yourself some scrambled eggs!

Oh thanks! Actually you make a lot of sense. It’s just that i’am addicted to coffee but I better follow your advice, I’ll be good today!
At least I’m getting hungry again, that’s a good sign! Hehe

I don’t think I made breakfast for myself these past two years. I miss breakfast varieties back in SE Asia. You have a beautiful delectable bf platter there. The strawberries are tempting me
