i always had issue eating sweet and heavy things early in the morning bc they made me feel so sick and i basically had to force it down.
iāve said it here before but i love quesadillas in the morning bc theyāre fairly quick yet so filling and give you so much energy. i also make baked pita āpizzasā w olive oil, feta, spinach, roasted peppersā¦honestly whatever i have in the fridge.
i really love a good egg and french fry moment when im feeling lazy :) or leftover rice and beans. i always pair anything i eat with a hot tea or some kombucha for easy digestion.

Once I released myself from the shackles of only eating breakfast food at breakfast time my life improved dramatically (I too hate the texture of eggs and can't stand eating anything sweet before noon)
I tend to eat leftovers for breakfast. Typical morning is pastawith veggies, soup, a sandwich made from scraps etc.

1. French Toast: there is NOTHING better than some cinnamon French toast with some fresh fruit and whipped cream on top. Add some homemade syrup and youāre living the dream. Stunning.
2. Pancakes: this was a VERY close second. Blueberry or chocolate chip pancakes have my entire heart, especially with some whipped cream. Whenever I think breakfast, I think pancakes.
3. Breakfast Sandwich: this is an interesting choice at number 3, maybe controversial at times, but a breakfast sandwich (a bacon egg and cheese, hellooooo) is one of the best things that Iāve been introduced to, and Iāve met some pretty important people. This is the breakfast you gravitate towards when you have a full day ahead of you. I do believe that these are better on bagels than croissants, and English muffins are a whole other story- get that shit out of here.
4. Waffles: I know you all expected waffles to be much higher, but in my heart of hearts there is no spot more fitting than fourth place. When the waffles are good, they are GOOD, like first place good. When they are bad, okay they are still pretty good, but idk stop pressuring me they are at fourth place and youāre just going to have to deal with that. However if there was a bonus point section they would win for the fact that you can fill the pockets up with syrup!
5. Omelette: little fun fact about me is that I can only cook breakfast food, and an omelette pan to me is a paint brush in the hands of Monet. I love omelettes and I think they are such a great combination of so many yummy ingredients. Honestly though, 99% of omelettes made by other people kinda suck to me, and for that reason they must go at #5
6. Pastry: a fresh pastry in the morning with an iced latte really encapsulates the feeling I get in the summer on vacation. There are so many types of pastries available: croissants, macarons, muffins, cookies, scones, cinnamon rolls, quiches- I could go on all day. Whenever Iām looking for a light breakfast, this is always the move.
7. Smoothie Bowl: I actually love these so much, and anytime I can get my grubby little hands on a smoothie bowl I will do so. The reasons these are placed at #7 are twofold. 1) they always include banana in the base, which overpowers the whole thing, and when you ask if they can make it without banana, 99% of the time they scoff at you and reject your smoothie bowl dreams, to the point where you consider lying and saying youāre allergic to banana just to see what happens. 2) Iām a slow eater, and by the time that I can even think of finishing my bowl, the whole thing has been melted down to resemble a childās popsicle on a Fourth of July afternoon. When these are done right though my heart is full.
8. Cereal: a true classic. I am one of the few adults who still appreciates a bowl of cereal. Saturday morning after a night out- cereal and cartoons like the good old days, need I say any more?
9. Avocado Toast: I donāt know how it took me so long to mention this considering this is what I eat every single morning, but those millennials realllyyyy knew what they were talking about with this one, absolutely no notes.
10. Eggs and bacon: I totally get why this is a thing, and nobody appreciates a classic diner breakfast more than I do. But sometimes youāre eating eggs and everything is great, and then you think about it for a LITTLE too long and then you look down and go, bro am I eating EGGS? Because of this I need to inhale my eggs before this thought occurs to me, and that feels like enough stress to put this at 10.
11. Iced coffee, empty stomach: if you want to feel anxious, hungover, and ill, this is the breakfast for you. Despite this glowing review I also do this for breakfast most days.
12. Oatmeal or Overnight Oats: I donāt get this one Iām sorry. If I wanted to feel like a baby bird whose mother had just chewed my food for me, I would go for this. Otherwise itās a hard sell.
Honorable mentions that Iām too drained to write about: granola bar, yogurt, porridge

started writing this a few hours ago when i first saw this ask, then decided against posting but i've since changed my mind. there really is no justification for it outside of entitlement. even from a selfish lens, there's no long term benefit to its usage. it harms the world and culture in more ways than one.
a.) the water and energy usage that isn't a secret at this point. "no ethical consumption under capitalism" yadda yadda and yeah corporations are extremely culpable in the state of the environment but there really is no need for chatgpt and the planet is already too delicate at the moment.
b.) the exploitation of workers in the global south. this program is not just a computer figuring it all out, there are in fact humans behind it. it reminds me of the acceptance of fast fashion and how people have the tendency to divorce the idea of the garment worker from the garment they wear when all clothing is handmade in some way, shape or form. you need hands to man a sewing machine, you need human eyes to moderate content. also, content moderation can be a thankless job with psychological repercussions.
c.) the erosion of social skills, humanity and media literacy...this one is very personal. like, you have a cushy email job but can't write an email? you need a computer and a worker in kenya to get paid a dollar an hour to figure out a daily routine for you? i've seen the program churn out blatantly incorrect information. fine tuning a prompt or chat or whatever to give you the exact (possibly incorrect) answer you need isn't really that much less work than sharpening your research skills by cracking open a dictionary or using boolean search keys in google. again, the main issue with this kind of stuff is the entitlement to convenience, with no thought towards the repercussions within and outside of us. we are losing major recipes (critical thinking and media literacy) here, people!
i probably did an iffy job are coherently articulating my thoughts here but i am in fact, human. and thatās the beauty of it all.
