Sigh. I have now officially entered the Christmas-dessert-for-breakfast phase of the holidays.

[highplainsdem]

Cheesecake.

Cheesecake after a healthy breakfast. A LARGE healthy breakfast.

I suppose it could be worse. There are years it's been a slab of fudge, a large slab of fudge, after breakfast, after Christmas.

This is why I usually don't buy, or make, desserts. Except for the holidays.

Was hoping to get through the holidays without being quite so stupid this year...

[Walleye]

1. Leftover slice of pumpkin pie

[highplainsdem]

2. LOL! I've done that, too, if any survived Christmas dinner.

[LisaM]

3. How is cheesecake any different from cheese Danish?

It's not. And pie isn't any worse than streusel!

Just enjoy it.

[highplainsdem]

10. I never buy pastry, though, unless I have company. Breakfast is usually protein of some type, fresh

fruit, maybe oatmeal too. Lunch is almost always a large salad. Dinner is meat or fish, veggies, fresh fruit.

I almost never buy sugary desserts, which might be why I'm tempted to binge when any is around.

[happybird]

4. I had cookies

and am eyeing up the little piece of leftover baked brie with blackberry preserves.

There is ham and sweet rolls, but slapping a sandwich together feels like too much work.

[markie]

5. orange cake

and coffee for breakfast this am

[empedocles]

6. Sounds like happy stupid to me.

[highplainsdem]

7. Happy was the NY style cheesecake slice. Stupid was following that with Mississippi mud

cheesecake.

Fortunately I stopped before I got to the strawberry swirl and triple chocolate flavors.

[CrispyQ]

8. Dessert for breakfast is one of the highlights of the holidays! -nt

[Ocelot II]

9. Leftover popovers that didn't pop.

They're more like muffins, but warmed up and with some butter they aren't bad.

[Ritabert]

11. Two Christmas cookies with my coffee

On a positive note they were small.

[Phoenix61]

12. I started that several days ago

and will continue until all the goodies are gone. My favorite part of the holidays.

[leighbythesea2]

13. Cranberry scone

Bc had so many cranberries, made them. But pumpkin pie and coffee is my favorite dessert-for-breakfast combo.

[BumRushDaShow]

19. Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh!

I have some scone mix and some craisins. Great idea!!!!

[bahboo]

14. sounds good to me....

I might be inclined to pair it with a big chardonnay....but that's me. Hey, it's the friggin' holidays....let it go, then pull the reins a bit tighter after the new years....

[MiniMe]

15. We had banana bread

[Srkdqltr]

16. I had a cupcake chocolate with chocolate frosting and half a small reeses. Oh, coffee too.

[Dave in VA]

17. Slice of lemon pound cake

No judging during the holidays, amirite?

[Irish_Dem]

18. I think I should have chocolate cookies every afternoon for a snack.

Instead of my usual fruit or salad.

[Wounded Bear]

20. A good breakfast should include dessert...

like any other decent meal.

[calimary]

21. So why-the-heck NOT?

Sounds rather delicious to me!

Hey, we’re all drowning in sweets at this time of year. If you can’t beat ‘em, eat ‘em!

[Marthe48]

22. I had coffee and oatmeal

Then a slice of spinach bread from a loaf my friend made. Then a slice of pumpkin cheesecake I made last Wed. for company. I'm right there with you highplainsdem!

[58Sunliner]

23. I had decadent scones for breakfast, with pie to follow in pm. My birthday cake is coming up.

It's hard.

[KT2000]

24. I prefer it to

pizza for breakfast.

[Old Crank]

25. We have pumpkin cheesecake

Our neighbors were supposed to have a portion. And another friend is staying away because he and his child both have colds... So much for trying to unload about a half.
since we live in chocolate land we have plenty of that to go around also. Lunch today was mostly chocolate.
Tis the season.

[patphil]

26. My wife made this delicious rum cake with Captain Morgan.

I've made an appointment for a seating at the dessert table later this evening.

[CaptainTruth]

27. How often do you do it?

Treat yourself during the holidays, enjoy it! It's not like you do it every day, right?

[highplainsdem]

28. Very rarely. See my reply #10 above, a response to LisaM's reply #3.

I almost always eat a healthy diet. I know going overboard on sweets occasionally won't kill me, and I do try to make sure guests have the desserts they want. But I'm disappointed in my lack of willpower when there's a dessert I like within reach, especially at breakfast time. I can eat breakfast for hours. And if I'm someplace with a great brunch buffet...

[Raven]

29. I've been in that mode since Thanksgiving. :-)
