One of my New Year’s resolutions was to eat a proper breakfast every day rather than just swallow two or three cups of coffee and so far I have been successful. My secret: Sunday evening baking.
Each Sunday, I make buns – cardamom buns or cardamom buns with raisins – and freeze them. Then every morning I briefly put a bun or two in the microwave and eat the buns with slices of cheese. I drink some sort of fruit juice and cups of coffee.
This may not seem much but for someone who has difficulties facing food in the morning this is quite a step.

Thanks for quoting my oatmeal! Most of the time I don’t get around to making the oatmeal that way, but once a week I share a bowl with my husband.
My daughter also has a hard time facing food in the morning. She gets really hungry when she comes home from school – then she could eat 5 buns.
I sympathize with your daughter.
Cooking oatmeal takes too much time for me except when it is pre-cooked and can be put in the microwave. I hope it still has some nutriments.
I also have been trying harder to eat proper breakfasts – which has become difficult now that I leave home at 6:45 am – way too early for me to think about food. So I baked wholewheat carrot muffins and bought some yogurts (I never eat yogurt) last night and had 2 muffins, a yogurt and an apple at my desk around 9 this morning. I think I could get used to doing that
Packing both breakfast and lunch I now carry around so much food.
It all sounds very nice, especially the carrot muffins.
I don’t function without breakfast. In recent years I’ve been eating an onion omlet every monring.
ps I suggest you have fruit instead of juice with your breakfast. You can even zap an apple or pear in the microwave. The roughage is important. Juice, even freshly squeezed is still a form of sugar.
Omelet sounds nice. I am a fan but must admit that when I am working I prefer food which involves neither cooking nor washing up of pans.
A few years ago a dietician also suggested fruit instead of juice. I only have juice in the morning and fruit during the rest of the day. By the way I had a lovely sweetie from Israel last night!
Good for you! I try to eat a healthy breakfast. I usually have a muffin, coffee, juice or fruit instead of juice. Keep it up!
Oops, forgot…I love your photo.
Thanks! It was taken in Sweden a couple of years ago.
I love toast for breakfast, with peanut butter, or with jam or cream cheese or regular cheese. When I feel like cooking, I like it with eggs. I like your idea of a bun with cheese.
I like eggs too but I can never be bothered to cook that much in the morning.
Just want to say thank you for all of the visits. xo
You’re welcome!
Happy Tu B’Shvat!
