What are some of your favorite breakfast meals?

What about breakfast beverages?

*sipping a big cup of Italian roast coffee*

I have fasting tea every morning at breakfast time. I've tried forcing myself to eat early in the day and I just can't.

However, I love breakfast foods and I often have them for lunch and dinner. One of my favorite things to make is slow cooked steel cut oats.

I use steel cuts oats, almond milk + water, cinnamon and nutmeg, chopped apples, and flax and cook them on low in the crock pot for seven hours. It's the best thing ever- the texture is perfect in the middle and the edges get crunchy (make sure you use cooking spray on your crock pot).

Hi Semantics,

We have some fans of steel cut oats here for sure. We had been discussing them earlier in the thread. Its good to see what you all do with the oats. This is a super food packed with high quality carbs, fiber, protein and nutrients. I really cant come up with a better morning grain. Love the addition of Flax!

My crock pot does not need cooking spray and I tend away from that product anyway because it is usually chemical-ized.

Yes the texture is very cool! Usually it takes a few cooking adventures to get the texture right where you want it.

What kind of crock pot do you have?


I agree about cooking spray. I use Winona Pure sunflower oil spray, which doesn't have all the nasty chemicals of Pam, but I still always cover my nose with a kitchen towel when I spray it so I don't breathe it in

Not sure what kind of crock pot it is because I am not at home. But I will check and let you know. Seems that most crock pots have a ceramic glazed pot no?

I prefer stainless steel for cooking unless it is a ceramic dutch oven or baking dish. Depends on what I am cooking. Good tip on the sunflower oil spray!

BTW, cookie monster, have you ever tried those crock pot liners? Makes cleanup so much easier and without a spray.

LMAO..omg too funny, no I have not tried crock pot liners.

I wish I could be a cookie monster but I have to be careful with the sweets. If I look at them for too long I gain weight. Practicing restraint was never my thing.
