I thought I was the only one who ate peanut butter on toast! No one ever talks about it.

I love peanut butter on toast. Have it all the time. And peanut butter on french bread also. But I hate peanut butter in any other food, cookies, reese's stuff, etc. Go figure.

Kathi does that mean I may actually feel like food on Sunday. Yeh! We are picking up a Costco chicken and my daughter is making mashed potatoes and gravy to go with on our way home from chemo. I'll ride around in the cute little go-cart. We're looking at home-made chx noodle soup tomorrow. Maybe I can having sausage and biscuits on Sun. Yum! Lola

I always had my infusions on Wednesday, Thursday was my 'hampster in a wheel day' (SUPER energy from the anti-nausea steriods), Friday afternoon thru Sunday morning was fairly narly...but then, Sunday morning later (after 5 am..lol) it was GLORIOUS!!!! I could EAT again!!! Then Monday, for lunch, I always had a big turkey sandwich from a chain in So California called Farmer Boys...2 inches of shaved turkey...mmmmmmm!

Hang in there, dear soul!

Hugs, Kathi

Sweet and sour chicken sounds good. Haven't had that for ages.

Once I went to a birthday sleep over and this friend's mom let us eat CAKE for breakfast! I never got that for breakfast as a kid. We only had cereal so I didn't know you could eat anything!

Well, the watermelon was good for you. The rest can be a secret. You know what they say...moderation.

oatmeal with raisins, one fig, and two cups of green tea. I've really changed my diet since being diagnosed. I put the Halloween candy in the mailbox for the mailman!

Wow, are you good. If I put candy in the mailbox it'd be hot, sticky mess. I live in Texas and I think it's getting to 78 degrees today.

Well, although I try to eat healthy, my breakfast every morning is a banana and a cup of coffee with honey. This has become a habit, and it is working for me to keep nausea away. Your snowball sounds yummy, Marcia......I love those things. Might have to get my hubby to make a grocery store run so I can join you in the morning. Hugs.

Ah Judy, I don't eat them every morning. In fact hardly eat them at all. My husband bought them last night and this morning it was lying on the counter calling my name. To counteract the bad I washed it down with 'DR' pepper.

I am impressed! I had a peanut butter and jelly sandwich for breakfast. I love food so much. I know I should eat healthier, but I just crave everything. I have decided that when this roller coaster is over, I will straighten up, eat right and exercise every day. Boring Boring Boring. But I want to live to see my grandaughters get married. Bless you

Never had ham and bacon with egg and cheese.

Oh my goodnes, you'd have to ask on a bad breakfast day. Of course I dont have to answer, but I will. Yesterday I had 2 frozen whole grain waffles with raspberries.
Since I have an ounce of energy today, I decided to bake some cookies from a recipe I found on the cooking channel. My younger son, his wife and baby daughter Brooke will be visiting this Sunday, so I thought I'd make a dessert. I had 4or 5 cookies for breakfast and lunch, and decided that since I got off to bad start, I'd just have a junk food day. I also had a couple of kettle chips. By the way, the cookies werent worth the effort, perhaps thats why I had 4 or 5, trying to find the flavor, or maybe its my tastebuds, which seem to be fading away. I'm also a peanut butter on toast person.

natly,
My dad used to make chocolate chip cookies and he'd put oatmeal and nuts in them to make them healthier. Or maybe it was to make them good but they were really good. All the kids, including big kids, would head for the cookie jar when ever they visited.

Sometimes we make pancakes with whole blueberries in them. Much better than the box mixes where the berries are dried. You haven't had a pancake till you've had one with fresh fruit. Yeah, you don't need syrup with it. Haven't tried raspberries tho. I've used bananas and peaches too.

I have an ebilsiver pan that you put the batter in and then after it cooks a little you can add fruit, jelly, banana slices, then you add a little more batter, and you flip them and cook the other side. The pan looks like an egg poacher so they come out like little round balls. They are yummy. It is a Danish dish and you could get a pan in Solvang. I got mine from my sister in law. She is Danish and her aunt and uncle and grandmother had something to do with founding Nordic ware. So she used to get boxes of stuff from them all the time.
I don't drink coffee anymore but I love the smell of fresh ground coffee.
Sno balls are by Hostess and they are pink (unless it's a holiday then they use other colors) with coconut sprinkled and they are cake underneath with the same cream inside that Hostess cupcakes have. There are two in a package and they used to be one pink, one white. I bet kids fought over who got the pink one so now they are both the same color. Pink usually, orange at Halloween, green at St Patricks, etc. I am a purist. Love the pink only.
Stef

They're like a cross between a pancake and a donut. Haven't had one in years (I don't have a pan to make my own).

As you know, I live less than 3 miles from Solvang ( heading there in half an hour to get a mani-pedi with my niece) and my favorite tho now defunct neighborhood bar there had T-shirts and aprons with the logo: "SOLVANG, A QUAINT DRINKING VILLAGE WITH A SLIGHT DANISH PROBLEM"

Had I known he was shutting down I sooo would have asked him for one of those shirts! Makes me laugh just thinking about it!

Hugs,

does he have a brother? Those pancakes made my mouth water. Since I had to eat at 5:00 this morning with the steroid pills, I'm hungry again accompanied by a slight headache. I'm trying to keep things at bay with an apple. I know I'm in the wrong spot for this question but are headaches a s/e of the steroids? I may need to take my ativan sooner than I thought. I was going to wait a few more hours. Lola

Yes Lola, headaches are a S/E. Take whatever you need to feel good,. and start drinking, water that is, tons of it. You wont be sorry.

Well, I read the package on those mini 3 Musketeers bars and they consider 5 as a serving. hee hee hee.

I can have 4 more then!!!!!

I'll try to resist anyway, especially since after I sent my last post someone brought me an evil german chocolate muffin. I ate half and am trying to find a taker for the other half - HELP!!!

Cindy you have a taker. Yum Yum german choc muffin!!

yeah, we non-coffee drinkers like to say that about soda "it's my coffee". Dentists just hate soda. Even one didn't like diet because of the acid. Oh well.

Isn't cold pizza considered a breakfast food? I've always thought so. It's kinda like toast (the crust), ham (the pepperoni, italian sausage or canadian bacon), fruit and/or veggies (pineapple, mushrooms, peppers) and I guess the cheese can substitute for the eggs. And of course the tomato sauce base becomes our tomato juice. See a well-rounded breakfast and quick to grab on the run. Lola

Lola
You are a gal after my own heart. Per your breakdown, pizza is now my breakfast of champions. Thanks for your explanation. LOL
Stef

You inspired me. To make up for being so bad I'm eating carrots for lunch.

I really like your attitude. You could put a little lettuce and tomatoes with those carrots and make yourself a nice salad.

Donna

That's a good idea except I ran out of lettuce and tomatoes. All I have is carrots and halloween candy. Well, I could make a roast beef sandwich but don't really feel like meat. I had been eating a salad for lunch every day but ran out. We have lots of other foods but got used to the salad and just can't decide what else I'd eat. This is a lesson to all...don't run out of salad or the Twix bar will call.

Egg and ham sandwich don't sound too unhealthy compaired to dr pepper and sno balls! My son asked me how it was and I said, "It tasted good going down but now it's rampaging around in my stomach."

...and I do my grocery shopping on Saturday mornings, so the fridge was a little bare this morning when I went to grab something to bring with me to work for breakfast. Ended up with two single-serving containers of cottage cheese and a banana...and a Pepsi, my morning drug of choice.

And peanut butter toast ROCKS! If you want to step it up a notch, try it with Trader Joe's sunflower seed butter instead -- that's actually what I had for lunch.

Traci

Well with my handfull of pills there is not alot of room for real food, but today I had coffee, a boost, and peanut butter and jelly samitch. I alternat this with oatmeal with peanut butter in it, to the samitch.
tj

I excelled this morning............ Scrambled (Strangled) eggs on toast, Fried mushrooms and tomatoes.......Oh Man It was SCRUMPTIOUS!

Loads of butter salt and pepper.............Orgasmic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hugs jxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

I'm not a big breakfast fan, usually a bowl of cereal with fruit, but I have to have 2 cups of coffee to start my engine. My sweet hubby bought some Krispy Kreme donuts yesterday and there they were, staring me in the face this morning. So of course, I gobbled a couple of them down. They literally melt in your mouth. Then I had to go light for lunch, tomato soup and cheese cubes, some grapes. Tomorrow it'll be back to cereal but I sure will be thinking of those Krispy Kremes.
PS Love Peanut butter on just about anything. How about those Hostess chocolate cupcakes with the creme in the middle. There goes my diet!

Tasha,
That sounds so good. I love fried mushrooms. Strangled eggs with cheese and mushrooms is one of my favorites breakfasts. I am so jealous.
