Breakfast for dinner? Who likes it and what do you like to have?
I am thinking of making some banana pancakes and sausages for dinner. Maybe cut up my last apple and have some peanut butter available.

As I am not a morning eater (at all), I really like to do this once in awhile.

How about you?

:hi:

1. I do a bit of a combo ..
I like potato pancakes with eggs over easy, bacon or sausage and home made biscuits.

OR, the potato pancakes with biscuits and sausage gravy .. carbs!! calories!!! FAT .. I don't care :)

2. I love, love, love biscuits and gravy. Hmm...
I could make a sausage gravy instead of just cooking the sausages.

:freak:

I also love potato pancakes, but usually only do that when I have leftover mashed potatoes.

I had healthy tuna for lunch, so I don't care about the carbs and fat tonight!

:hi:

3. I love breakfast any time of day, and often for dinner
Last night I had bacon and french toast. My favorites are usually bacon or sausage with french toast or waffles along with a scrambled egg, or biscuits & gravy. Pretty simple. But wonderful!

Banana pancakes and sausage sounds teriffic! I'll be right over.... :)

5. I would be happy with scrambled eggs several nights a week.
Alas, I cook for more than myself.

6. I'd love some breakfast right about now...
or lunch or dinner.

I'm having that most delightful of days tomorrow - my first colonoscopy! :(

Soooo, the prep is done (that was delightful) , and I'm just hoping I can fall asleep soon.

I've been craving mashed potatoes all evening, though. Funny how even just a day without eating brings out my need for comfort food.

7. I don't like breakfast food for breakfast
and cream cheese on a bagel is as fancy as I ever get. I'm just not a morning person and only force myself to eat something so my pills won't chew holes in my gut.

However, I do like pancakes for supper, especially savory pancakes with either flavored sour cream (chipotle is a fave) or a cream sauce. It's a really nice way to use up extra veg for a super cheap and filling supper.

8. Scrambled eggs, bacon, toast fits the bill for dinner for me.
I never eat breakfast, just an early lunch to carry me over. Breakfast food at night is fine. Sometimes I make made hash browns with the eggs. I don't understand why the foods we have for breakfast should not be just fine during the rest of the day.

I used to travel a lot and if I saw a sign in an eatery window that advertised breakfast all day, I'd pull in and have dinner there.

11. Omelet.
With spinach, onion, mushrooms, cheddar and feta cheeses with toast. That's about as breakfasty as Bill will let me get at dinner. Myself, I can eat anything regardless of the time of day.

12. I don't eat in the morning, so I enjoy just about any breakfast food for supper.
One of my favorites is biscuits and gravy. My kids used to think it was such a treat to have breakfast for dinner. With 4 kids and myself to get ready for work and school, most breakfasts were hot cereal, so every now and then I'd fix a full breakfast meal for supper and they just loved it.

13. I used to make biscuits and gravy
when I first got married. I really had to work at getting it right, too. Then I had to stop making it because we weren't worth a damn the rest of the day ater eating it. LOL

14. One of our favorite treats
Tofu scrambler (homemade), oatmeal pancakes (with real maple syrup--these suckers FILL YOU UP), and soysage (those Morningstar Farms deals will do). Makes you just want to crawl into bed early and think warm thoughts. :)

We used to get the boxed tofu scrambler, but then they changed the seasonings and it wasn't as good, so I figured out what to put in and it's good enough to eat all on its own--hot or cold:

1 lb firm tofu
a couple fistsful of rolled oats (maybe half a cup?)
a good scoop of nutritional yeast (1/4 c? This gives a cheesy richness.)
a couple T flax seed
turmeric
onion powder
sea salt

Brown the tofu in some olive oil (we like it fairly brown), then stir in the rest. Snuck this to my mom on her last visit and she thought it was the best scrambled eggs she'd ever had. }(

We don't really eat breakfast often, but this is often a weekend brunch (when we might only eat one big meal) or dinner. Best of all, it's all good cold, and if I make a double batch of pancakes, they heat up well for breakfast or snacks all week.

15. The "want anything special for dinner"

question brought this response this morning--
"don't we have a little salmon to use up? I know you like to make omelets"...

a little goat cheese - dill - maybe a slice of bacon on the side -
yikes! it's 2:00 I'd better get the bread started :9
glad I read your post!!!

17. Did this last Saturday.
We do it every once in a while.

Scrambled eggs from my own chickens. Pancakes with freshly made apple/cinnamon topping and maple syrup from my own tree. Bacon cooked Martha Stewart's method of rolling on both sides in brown sugar then broiling on a rack in the oven. Orange juice. Yummy.

we called them eggy-hashbrowns, but we were always too lazy to do more than slice the potatoes:)

21. My favorite breakfasts
is ham steak with well done hash browns and a couple of runny eggs and toast. I always cut up the ham in small pieces and then mix it all up, except the toast. Known in my family simply as Ham'n.

Good stuff. :hi:

20. Quiche with a salad and beans - just had it last night.
The quiche had spinach and goat cheese. It was delicious and satisfying...not too filling.
The pinto beans had cooked all day (with chopped onion, garlic, carrots and chicken broth) adn the house smelled so good!
