Interesting comments on “breakfast” food and “dinner” food. Who decided that eggs or pancakes or waffles etc were “breakfast” foods? In Europe the crepe, and pancake, and eggs with pasta or beans, and grits/polenta etc etc are common dinner items. In the south here they have waffle and fried chicken restaurants and 24 hour breakfast is quite common in many diners all over the country. Nothing better than huevos rancheros for dinner! or pizza for breakfast! biscuits and gravy—gravy for breakfast?? why yes please!

Another supper-for-breakfast eater here! Leftover potato masala dosa or burrito makes a great breakfast, and I’m not above grabbing leftovers from the night before and eating them cold from the fridge in the morning if I’m in a hurry. I make a point of heating things with rice only because rice gets hard when it’s cold.

Quick comment for CL (Cheryl) – I eat dinner food for breakfast all the time! Leftovers are awesome and quick and easy to reheat in the morning. Try it sometime!

I also eat breakfast for dinner and love freezer finds for a quick meal.

We love breakfast for dinner, too. Crepes, Swedish pancakes, blueberry pancakes plus egg and/or meat. Always popular.

And yes, we will eat “dinner” foods for breakfast. Leftover noodles/veg or pizza, not to mention baked potatoes with cheese/chili/sour cream/etc., frequently appear in the morning

We eat ramen noodles, cooked in chicken broth then drained and mixed with Sriracha, ginger and garlic paste, and soy sauce, with whatever veg and leftover meat (or cubed tofu, egg) we have on hand.

Next is some kind of pancake – scallion pancake (not the kneaded kind, just a simple egg/flour pancake with scallions and seasonings) or okonomiyaki – served with steamed rice and nori (put some rice and a slice of pancake into a quarter piece of nori, add hot sauce or soy sauce, and dive in – yum!).

We also keep kielbasa and meatballs on hand, then saute them with onion, etc., and serve over pasta.

Open-faced tuna melts on toasted English muffin are a great favorite, as are grilled cheese sandwiches and chili.

I have to say I am totally amazed how many people here have commented that they eat breakfast foods for supper? We have never done that. Would I eat Supper foods at breakfast? Food for thought Y’All.

We make homemade beanie-weanies. We use canned baked beans & cut up wieners & just heat. We also make toast pizza. Toast bread, then top with sauce & toppings. Bake @ 325 degrees until the cheese is melted. We also make hot dogs with homemade chili for a quick dinner.

Prepared gnocchi warmed with frozen homemade marinara, or in olive oil, onions, garlic and bacon pieces.

Nuke a russet potato and top it with a good brand of canned chili and some cheese and add a salad
