Breakfast People + Two Recipes

I'm not a workday breakfast person. I  never have been, except when pregnant.

It isn't a matter of no time or lack of breakfast food in the house. My stomach is just not ready for food when I wake up. Nor is my little's. We usually share breakfast an hour or so after we wake up.

My mornings usually start with a cup of coffee and cream, followed by another, this time with a little food.

However, I've started preparing oatmeal in the fridge overnight, and this is a workday breakfast I can get behind, usually once I arrive at my office.

I add 1 part oats to 2 parts coconut milk and about 2 teaspoons chia seeds to a Mason Jar, give it a quick stir, seal, and set in fridge over night. Keeps for three days, so I make three every Sunday.


We are, however, weekend breakfasters. Saturday and Sunday are our days for a big family breakfast (we are Saturday vigil mass-goers).


Eggs. We eat so many eggs (brinner). I buy them 2 1/2 dozen at a time and keep most in the "garage fridge" (every family should have a second fridge!). We're considering getting 2-3 chickens this fall. 




I've also found the best homemade waffle recipe here. I'll be honest, I rarely beat the eggs, but I do separate them and give them a good fluffing with a whisk. And I add more salt.

How many of you eat breakfast daily? I can't be the only non-breakfast person out there.
