Monday’s Top Five: Breakfast Foods
1: Cheerios
We rarely had sugary cereal around when I was a kid, which was fine with me. I’m more fond of kid’s cereal mascots than I ever was of the cereal itself. Honestly, I’ve always preferred normal Cheerios over even the Honey Nut kind. I should also point out that I never fully understood the cereal in milk thing. I’ll do it occasionally, but I’d rather have crunchy cereal and a glass of cold milk instead of soggy cereal and luke-warm milk.
2: Microwave Burritos
My breakfast throughout most of high school was a microwave bean and cheese burrito and a cup of black coffee. That probably says more about me than it should.
3: Cold Pizza
Everyone knows that half the point of ordering and/or making pizza is the leftovers. What I don’t understand is why some people insist on reheating the slices of cold pizza. If there were a way to melt cheese and cook the toppings without heat, I’d insist that chilled should be pizza’s natural state.
4: Peanut Butter and Jelly
This was my standard breakfast the entire time I lived in Maine. Because of that, I have a hard time thinking of PB&J as anything other than a breakfast food.
5: Restaurant Breakfast-o-Rama
There are few better was to start your morning than a huge breakfast. Unfortunately, making one involves a lot of work before breakfast, which sorta spoils the point. That’s whay Breakfast is my favorite meal to go out for. Of course, given that most folks I know aren’t morning people, it’s also the hardest to arrange.

restaurant breakfast is my #1 favorite thing - from the greasy spoon on the corner with questionable waterglasses to Breakfast at Marie’s - i love it all. in fact, if the corned beef hash is too fancy (in other words, NOT canned hormel thrown on a griddle to get CRISPY \o/ ) i dont want to go there. (i’m looking at YOU, original pancake house in boca raton, fl - quit making your own CBH. it’s nasty.)
i’m not a morning person, but most places i’ve lived, i always look for the all-day breakfast place first :D it’s more important than finding a doctor’s office. srsly :D

Word on the pizza thing. And Sheryls: I disagree on the CBH….. if you have a place that makes it good and raw (keeping it simple), it’s so much better than canned… can’t remember the last place I had good homemade CBH, however.
