Chaos.
Definitely weekend warrior! Love a fresh pastry and a slow cup of tea
Chaos menu here!
Usually strictly carbs, maybe carbs and cheese, on weekdays (freezer waffles anyone?) I do love a big breakfast on the weekend but pretty much just if someone else is making it.
I’m not a breakfast person, I’ll only eat an egg if it’s a plain cheese omelet and I get sick of yogurt and berries. I also almost never drink coffee or tea (I love both but now that I work from home I never think to make them), so lately my attempts at being healthier in the morning and bringing back my in-office rituals is having a large glass of water and a cosmic crisp apple in the morning. It tastes like progress!
I AM a sucker for pastries, but I don’t indulge that often-when I go to Europe in June that is flying out the window. Pastries every day!
I usually make a big smoothie to bring to work (protein powder, almond milk, peanut butter, Chia seeds, strawberries and banana). On weekends I love toast and eggs, and every Sunday I make pancakes and bacon for my 10 year old son.
I wake up desperate for breakfast!
My partner makes tomato eggs (sauteed ginger, garlic, white onion, mirin, shaoxing wine, a heap of the most fragrant, heftily cubed tomatoes, setting aside briefly on a plate. Turn up the heat on the stove, to get the wok RIPPING hot, and pour in beaten eggs (sometimes with a little cornstarch slurry) so they are golden and pillowy. Combine the tomato-wonder with the eggs, gently folding to combine. Lay a sturdy foundation of microwave-steamed leftover rice, drop a layer of any soft greens you have in the kitchen (peashoots are my favorite), and then nestle tomatoes on top. The most heartening and you’ll-be-okay breakfast while I finish writing my dissertation.
I loooove breakfast. Right now we’re in Costa Rica for six weeks and it’s usually a fresh banana first thing then I make eggs, potatoes, black beans, ground beef, avocado, and or tortillas and more fruit. Plus coffee with honey and full fat coconut milk!
On Christmas Day for the past few years, my husband and I have cooked a waffle breakfast with all the fixings for his family, and this year our 19-year-old nephew said, “This is the best meal of the year!” 😄💕
If all that was left in the world were english muffins and peanut butter, I would survive.
Same 🥰
Either everyone in the comments have very fancy breakfasts, or I’m more in the “chaos menu” category than I realized. hahaha
1 egg (from our hens), soft boiled and homemade whole grain toast. Every. Single. Day. I love it. Oh, plus coffee!
I have the same breakfast every day too. One slice of toasted sourdough with vegemite and avocado. Occasionally on the weekend I’ll have a poached egg on top liberally sprinkled with the Trader Joe Everything but the Bagel mix. Which is so delicious. If I’m home alone I have this for dinner too. I’m definitely a savoury palate. Sweet breakfast makes me feel unwell.
This is so good (as always) – strong chaos menu + coffee snob here
My husband makes me scrambled eggs every morning and either a homemade latte or regular black coffee. My 3 year old gets banana pancakes or oatmeal, it looks a lot like the chaos menu haha
We went on our first family holiday to a Sydney (we live in Melbourne Australia) and stayed in a fancy hotel. By far the stand out for the kids for the entire holiday was the Breakfast Buffet! They still talked about it on the regular!
Which hotel in Sydney? We love hotel breakfast buffets. Crown in Melbourne has a nice one.
So funny because this was an ongoing argument/conflict between my husband and I for YEARS. I am a breakfast person, but he is not. So we compromised. We do our own thing in the mornings monday-friday, but have a sit down slow breakfast on weekends.
Ha, ditto! My husband wakes up imagining his meal, whereas my appetite doesn’t wake up until noon. His excited “What do you want for breakfast???” question immediately upon waking made me nauseous. So on weekends, he has first breakfast solo and we have second breakfast together :)

One of the biggest questions I get after our divorce is, Help! how do you break the news to the kids?
