OK: best breakfast foods that do not involve milk (soy or dairy) or meat

[Flaxbee]

What would be your favorite (easy?) breakfast, if milk and meat (sausage, bacon, etc.) were off-limits?

:hi:

[bluedigger]

1. Wheaties and beer.

:toast:

[geardaddy]

2. Mushroom omlet.

[ceile]

3. Does how it's prepared matter?

Because I could biscuits and gravy everyday and die happy- at a young age.
;)

[JitterbugPerfume]

4. whole wheat bagel and peanut butter

coffee

[GreenPartyVoter]

5. PBJ

[RebelOne]

6. Toasted frozen waffles with lots of butter and maple syrup. n/t

[Flaxbee]

27. oh yum, I used to put cottage cheese on the waffle, too, until any form of dairy became my mortal

enemy :(

I don't like a pure carbo load - I like a little protein or fruit with waffles or pancakes.

[Major Nikon]

7. Grits

They are better when made with half milk - half water, but you can make them without the milk and just use all water or half vegetable stock.

Make a big batch, refrigerate the leftovers in a loaf pan, slice and pan fry the next morning and serve with a little maple syrup.

[Chan790]

8. I had OJ and homemade vegan stuffing this AM.

That was pretty f'ing clutch.

[Flaxbee]

28. what does that mean?

explain to me your slang, DC-boy.

[Chan790]

33. Wha'?!

You mean "clutch"? Essential, awesome & at the exact perfect moment.


It was the perfect breakfast for this AM...to wit, it hit the spot.

f'ing is an abbreviation for "fucking" because I'm trying to clean up my language in case anybody finds this in a Google search for me now that I'm applying for PR, social media, communications, development, and journalism jobs.

[WinkyDink]

9. Chocolate-raisin-almond Zone bars.

[Brickbat]

10. Hashbrowns, toast, bagel with honey. I've heard a banana mashed with egg whites makes a passable

pancake as well.

[surrealAmerican]

11. There's nothing wrong with dry cereal.

It doesn't need milk. I usually like to put some berries on it, though.

[Tyrs WolfDaemon]

12. Fish and Vodka stew (with extra vodka)

Not exactly easy unless it was made in the past few days at which point you just reheat it.

I love this stuff so I'll share it with all of you

You'll need:
1 pound fish fillets (I find Alaskan Cod works well)
2 tbsp lemon juice
2 tbsp vodka (I always use more )
Chives
4 onions, peeled
1 leek
2 carrots
4 or 5 Medium Potatoes
3 slices of bacon (I no longer use the bacon replacing it with some veggi oil. The preservatives in bacon mess with my migraines)
4 cups beef broth or meat stock
pinch of Saffron
1/2 tsp Basil
1 bay leaf
some salt and pepper to taste
You can also add some parsley as garnish - I only did that part if I was entertaining guests.

Drain the fish and cut into 1 in pieces. Put them in a deep dish then add the lemon and vodka. Cover it.
Finely chop the chives and onions
Cut the leek in half and then into pieces (I always make sure the leek is washed - they tend to have dirt and grit on them)
Peel and Dice the carrots and potatoes
Dice bacon and add to pot, cooking until it is transparent (just heat up the oil in pot)
Add the onions and chives - cook 3 min then let mix steam.
Add the leek, carrots and potatoes and steam for about 1 minute.
Add the Beef Broth and stir in the Saffron, basil and bay leaf.
Cover and let cook for 15 min.
Add the fish with the juice from bowl - simmer slowly for five minutes. (This is where I always add some more vodka - to taste)
Season with Salt and Pepper. Add the garnish before serving.
I always got 4 or 5 bowls out of this, but I also like bigger bowls.

[Flaxbee]

29. huh. My husband would love this. He doesn't like 'traditional' breakfast foods

and looooved almost everything he ate when he lived in Finland and Russia. Mixing fish with vodka will make him a happy man.

Will have to nix the beef broth, though.. substitute with veggie broth OK, I assume?

[Tyrs WolfDaemon]

52. The veggie broth will probably be fine but I've never tried it

I say go for it and let me know how you do.

[GoCubsGo]

13. Bob's Red Mill 8 Grain cereal

I love it. I can't find it in my town any more sadly. I like it with a pat of butter. Since I can't get Bob's, my next favorite is cold leftover pizza. It's the breakfast of champions.

[Flaxbee]

30. our local Big Lots has been having a huge clearance of Bob's Red Mill products; we have their

muesli and their 8 grain cereal and steel cut oats... I love it, too - mix in some fruit and a little honey and we're good to go.

Just looking for some alternatives to the hot cereal choice!

[GoCubsGo]

66. Thanks for the heads-up.

It's a bit of a drive to the nearest Big Lots, but I think I may have to make the trip to see if that's the case here, too. It's not horribly far a way, but I just don't like driving. But, for Bob's 8-Grain on clearance, I'll just have to suck it up and go.

[grasswire]

50. you can mail order any Bob's Red Mill product.

Visit their web site....it's terrific!

[Little Star]

64. Bob's Red Mill also has dairy free pancake mix. n/t

[whistler162]

14. Air soup!

[Lucinda]

15. Oatmeal or cereal (with Almond Milk) and fruit if I wanted a quick breakfast

:)

Maybe a veggie burrito if I wanted something hot.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

16. what about yogurt? can I use that?

if so then yogurt with banana and almonds and cinnamon. or, whatever fruit I have at the time.

:hi:

[Flaxbee]

31. anything dairy just absolutely kills me, though I can handle Activia once in a while

sounds good, especially the almonds part!

[texanwitch]

17. I am not a big breakfest fan.

I rather eat a big lunch.

[Flaxbee]

32. I love it. Love love love breakfast foods; I think I was conditioned by

my mom who bless her sweet heart always made me breakfast, every single morning of every single day until I went to college.

[texanwitch]

35. I can eat breakfest.

I would just rather make a smoothie.

It depends when I get up.

It is around 10 am I will just have lunch or dinner as I think of it.

In the country lunch was callled dinner and it was the big meal of the day.

Supper was small, usually a sandwich.

[shanti]

18. oatmeal w/flax seeds and blueberries

and a hardboiled egg. i have this mostly every day because of my diabetes.

[Beaverhausen]

19. soyrizo and eggs

[MilesColtrane]

20. Dry, white toast

[Enrique]

21. donut and coffee

:donut:

[Gormy Cuss]

22. Wheat toast with peanut butter, wheat germ, and honey.

Runner up would be a whole grain cereal with fresh fruit mixed in and some flax meal sprinkled on top.

[some guy]

23. grape nuts cereal w/ apple juice instead of milk.

[BiggJawn]

24. Do-nuts got dairy in them?

Waffles, pancakes? No dairy, no meat. Oh, no meat, scratch titties and beer...

Miso soup. yeah, that'll work. I was going to say Natto, but the OP asked what would *I* eat, and Natto sure as shit ain't it.

[Flaxbee]

25. hey everyone, I went AWOL from my thread because my kitty was missing - but he just came back in

... so I can now relax and review all of your replies. Many thanks! :hi:

[Taverner]

26. Are eggs off limits?

If we're talking vegan, either rice milk with wheaties or soy milk with corn flakes

[Flaxbee]

34. no, I love eggs, if I can find them certified as from humanely treated and happy

chickens.

[lifesbeautifulmagic]

36. bran muffin, no butter

that's what I have been having lately.

[Brother Buzz]

37. I'm into five minute soft boiled eggs with shredded toast in a bowl

But I need my butter (dairy) on that toast to make it all work. That, and of course, the black pepper.

[Ikonoklast]

38. Fried cornmeal mush.

With maple syrup.




Awesome breakfast on a chilly fall morning.

[sinkingfeeling]

62. +1

[noamnety]

39. Almost every morning

I have about a bowl of diced up grilled zucchini (leftover from the night before, I'm not firing up the grill at 7am), a couple large spoons of black beans dumped on top, and three eggs stirred into it. Microwave, stir, microwave, stir, microwave, stir until the eggs are perfect. Top with hot sauce.

It's a slow carb thing - the eggs fill you up now, the beans digest slow and keep you full til lunch, and veggies are just healthy. I don't get a sugar carb mid morning crash with this. When my squash is gone (I'm being optimistic here in hoping it will eventually be gone), I'll switch to steamed swiss chard in the scramble.

Off topic but I am feeling smug because although my eggs aren't fancy free range or anything, I did ride my bicycle 25 miles round trip yesterday to get to the cheap store where eggs are still $1/dozen, and I got 6 dozen back home on the bike without smashing any of them.

[Swede]

40. It can't be done.

:shrug:

[Arugula Latte]

41. Breakfast burrito: tortilla, scrambled eggs, cheddar and a dollop of salsa.

Simple and deeelish.

On closer reading, it looks like cheese is out. I guess it would still taste pretty good without it, or you could replace the cheese with mashed avocado. Yum!

[Kali]

42. coffee

fruit

[wickerwoman]

43. Pancakes

(as long as eggs are OK).

I cook up a bunch of them and throw them in the fridge or freezer then just microwave them for a minute to heat them up, add berries and whipped cream (guess you can use non-dairy topping), job done.

:-)

[kwassa]

44. Oatmeal. I have it every day ....

I do it different ways, use dried fruit or bananas or cinnamon .... healthy and delicious.

It is boiled in water, no milk is involved.

My wife likes the fake meat products from Morningstar Farms; fake bacon and sausage links. They taste pretty good.

[GoCubsGo]

67. I like those fake meat products, too.

In fact, I like the breakfast meats better than the real thing, especially the links. I started eating them mainly because they're lower in calories and fat.

[Kali]

45. potato chips

and soda:P

[blogslut]

46. Malt-O-Meal or Cream of Wheat

I dig farina.

[Flaxbee]

48. I love it, too.

Better than oatmeal, until I tried steel cut oatmeal. Now I love them both, but cream of wheat will send me right back to my childhood at the first bite.

[pokerfan]

47. toasted whole wheat english muffin

vegetable based spread and cinnamon.

[Digit]

74. I like pumpkin butter on my whole wheat muffins

It is DE-licious!

[emilyg]

49. Instant Cream of Wheat.

[grasswire]

51. handful of almonds or walnuts, glass of low-fat milk

That's what I have. I'd rather have toast, but the carbs, the carbs.

[quakerboy]

53. Bacon.

I dare anyone to make that off limits to me.

[Glassunion]

68. Game over... There should be no replies past this point. We have a winner!!!

[Sanity Claws]

54. Oatmeal with hemp milk or

peanut butter on toast or
a boiled egg with vegetables

Those are three breakfasts that I often have and I understand they are nutritious.

[Shagbark Hickory]

55. Granola or Blueberry muffin.

[HopeHoops]

56. Warm beer on oat rings. Bonus points if the beer is warm because you slept on the can.

[astral]

57. refried beans

out of a can. With stuff in it like salsa and stuff.

And a few small pieces of tortilla chip to scoop it up with. My beans have butter in 'em.

[hobbit709]

58. Jamaica Blue Mountain coffee and a little Purple Kush.

[LaurenG]

59. PB and J sandwich.

Its the breakfast of some champions. :D

[GoCubsGo]

69. Especially if the bread is toasted.

And, sliced banana in place of the jelly is really good, too.

[dr.strangelove]

60. Coffee and a cigarette?

Kidding, though I admit that 20 years ago, that was my breakfast of choice.

Usually I have oatmeal and some type of fruit, banana or berries is possible.

[Major Nikon]

73. Irish coffee and left handed cigarettes

[hunter]

61. Coffee, fruit, and leftovers.

That's my breakfast of choice.

That fish and vodka stew mentioned above would make an excellent leftover.

I'll bet it's delicious a day old and cold.

[Little Star]

63. This might help a little...
