Breakfast
I'm not a breakfast food person. Sure, I like waffles and pancakes and bacon and an occasional egg, I LOVE breakfast cereal, but I don't crave these things often. And I can only eat them when I'm craving them. If I even smell eggs cooking when I'm not craving them, there's a possibility that nausea will ensue. Cereal and milk is a snack - too many carbs and not enough protein - I'm hungry again in an hour. I could down an entire box of Pebbles in one sitting (Cocoa or Fruity, it doesn't matter, I love them both - I think it's a texture thing).
I love to eat leftovers for breakfast. If I make meatloaf and mashed potatoes, I'll eat the leftovers for breakfast for the next few days. I had macaroni and cheese this morning. Occasionally we'll stock up on low-fat hot dogs and eat them for breakfast for a while (especially when the Healthy Choice hot dogs are on sale - they're only 2.5 grams of fat each and oh-so-yummy).
Some people think I'm a freak. They hear what I've eaten for breakfast and look at me like I am the proud owner of 50 heads and am wearing each and every one. They've just never "thought outside the (cereal) box" when it comes to breakfast. They've never realized that you don't HAVE to have "breakfast food" for breakfast. To them, sauteeing a pork chop with garlic and oregano at 6:00 AM is sacrilege. Sounds like a yummy breakfast to me!
As it turns out, much to my relief, I'm not alone!
