This morning I faced the feeling I get every morning at the kitchen table – what am I going to eat for breakfast?

As someone who is gluten-free and hates buying processed foods, breakfast is a major challenge. In a different life I would have a library of cereals to choose from: cheerios, rice chex, life, puffins, rice krispies, and maybe even some froot loops! The little boy in me who still suffers from sugar addiction and loves whole milk would go crazy (literally and figuratively) in this imaginary kitchen. The adult in me wants to eat something healthier and definitely more filling, but continues to struggle in the search for the best breakfast foods.

This morning, while worrying this daily worry, my wonderful wife devised the best solution – leftover brown rice with a fried egg and some tamari (wheat-free soy sauce.) The sugar addict in me always forgets the possibility of savory foods. The meal was simple, delicious and filling. After devouring this egg and rice combo, I realized that I cannot plan on having the same thing every day. Maybe the beauty of breakfast is the possibility of variety. Some mornings have oatmeal, other times an egg with rice, and on an especially good day, pancakes or waffles. When it comes to meal planning I mostly consider dinner, but this new realization makes me want to also browse breakfast possibilities.

My ideas only stretch but so far. Like the cookbook post, please share your favorite sweet, savory and routine meals.
