ACL Berry Parfait

We just got back from an American Cruise Line trip, from Charleston, SC to Amelia Island via the Intracoastal Waterway.  Great fun, we hit springtime with azaleas and dogwood blooming (a real treat for Californians - we don't do seasons).  And great food.  Each morning they had this available, and each morning we ate it.  Scrumptious.

Butter Onion and Pepper Quesadillas

I am on a use-dinner-leftovers-for-breakfast kick.  I sauteed, in butter, onions and red, orange and yellow peppers to put over steak, and held some out for this morning.   These quesadillas are so quick and easy to make, and can be varied to your taste.

Ham Steak and Rye Cheese Toast

 Quick easy, and one the kids like every time.   The adults too.

Cottage Cheese Honey Walnut Delight

Very, very easy, and lots of contrasts - crispy toast with soft topping, hot base and cold cheese, crunch walnuts, chewy fruit and soft cheese.  And did I mention delicious?

Creamy, salty, lovely scrambled eggs, with the taste of lox.

Fried Polenta

    

A variation on regular pancakes - you fry slices of chilled polenta, and treat them like pancakes, serving with butter and syrup, or fruit, or whatever else you fancy.  They are perfect for a cold winter day, giving you fuel and warmth to take on the day.

Easy Breakfast Polenta

This is hearty and warm for a winter day.  It is also known by the inelegant name of cornmeal mush, but the Italians co-opted this and called it polenta.  This is enough to serve 4, as well as to have leftovers used for friend polenta - see next week's posting.

Pita Cottage Cheese Pizza

A terrible picture that I took – with a face made with raspberries and blueberries.  Small children love this.  So do adults.  Very quick to make, nutritious, and really good.

Bagel and Salmon Cream Cheese

Lox and bagels are a favorite of mine.  Sometimes I have a craving for it, and have no good source of lox.  This is a very good substitute.  And nearly instant!

Southwestern Scrambled Eggs - way too easy

This was an accident.  I meant to buy Egg-Beaters, but grabbed the Southwestern version instead.  It has peppers and onions in it.  So I just melted a little butter (or be more virtuous and use olive oil) and cooked the eggs, adding a little pepper.  Yummy, and I didn't miss the yolks at all.  Try it - super easy.

Blueberry topping

Quick and easy.  Great on pancakes, waffles, oatmeal  or ice cream.

Tomato Cheese Soup for Breakfast

This is most welcome on a cold winter day.  And a snap to make.

Fruit Salad Smoothie

So I had a brunch here, for 12 people, which I had donated to a charity auction.  I made a beautiful fruit salad – berries, apples for crunch, banana for sweetness, random melons and tropical fruits.  My guests ate some, but went for the Dianne Phillips  (www.dianephillips.com ) Amaretto Peach French Toast, Miniature Quiches and Strata found elsewhere in this blog.  So I had a LOT of fruit salad left over.  We ate some with lunch and with dinner, and finally were just tired of it.  So I used it for smoothies for breakfast.  Will work for ANY fruit mixture at all, although some might give you a weird color.

Turkish Breakfast

I am currently in Turkey, staying with Rotarians that live here, and have been delighted with the breakfasts they have.  It is tasty, ever varying, healthful, and the perfect breakfast in a hurry.
