I have oatmeal just about every day, the brown sugar cinnamon quaker oats kind...you can get a hugeass box at Costco.
What ARE those, Sarah Pi? They look like beignets to me, which I LOVE!!!

I'm not sure I approve of the candied orange peel, but I endorse the concept and the effort.
Can I replace the orange peel with caramel?
Mmm, I love chocolate with orange! Not sure about orange peel, but I'd try it. :)
Catalina wrote: "Can I replace the orange peel with caramel?"I vote yes. Alternately: more chocolate.

I'll take some of the caramel ones too!

If I got up early enough to make breakfast at home, I would do that, Bun.Some weekends, I do make regular oatmeal, with raisins, craisins, dates, walnuts and pecans, and some brown sugar and cinnamon. And it's really, really good. :)
i wanna have breakfast with bun! i will make cranberry tea
just loose tea that is cranberry flavored. i have a cool little tea strainer deal i got in china. i will even use saucers when serving

Breakfast is my absolute favorite meal.
I love breakfast too! What can I bring?
I love breakfast too! What can I bring?Mimosas? (Sally, you can have OJ, or Kevin's tea. Sorry!)
I love breakfast for dinner, or maybe at 3 am, but not at breakfast time. I usually wake up less than happy with my body, and for some reason breakfast makes me wanna hurl. So, usually I have a protein shake.BUT, those Dogpatch Pop Tarts look divine! Regular PTs are good if they include chocolate or raspberry and def frosting. Yummy brown crispy edges, so hot that you burn all the tastebuds off your tongue but you keep eating anyway. *sigh* Haven't had a PT in a loooong time.
BEIGNETS!!!!
My grandmother made some homemade ones for Christmas morning breakfast. They were AWESOME!
Wow! I got contact diabetes just from looking at that picture. Must try those someday.

Beignets rock! Little warm fried pillows of doughy goodness, covered with powdered sugar... yum!
They're best when MawMaw Hazel makes them at home... and I can control just how much powdered sugar goes on top (I don't like alot).
Heidi, I roll mine around in the extra powdered sugar - I always put more on than they give me
Of course, the very best way to eat beignets is at small outdoor table at the Cafe Du Monde in Nawlins, with a cup of chicory-laced coffee. And for lunch...a shrimp po'boy.Anyone been to N.O. post-Katrina? Wondering what it's like these days.

i am heading to N.O. in Feb from the 20th to the 24th. hope the saints didn't win the super bowl at that time
What flavor is Meow-Berry? Is it filled with real cartoon cats?
Naturally and artificially flavored cartoon cats.
Ew. I'm having a really bizarre visual with that comment.Kev, eat some beignets & chickory coffee for me while you're there!
I've been to NO several times post-Katrina, though not in the past couple of years. I went to Mardi Gras in 2006 - when they had all the parades running the same route. It was odd. Christmas 2005 I went to see some of the damage - it was really terrible. But things have really picked up since then.
Personally, since I'm not from NO, my favorite beignets are found in Baton Rouge - at the Coffee Call.
My sister started a powdered sugar fight with me in the middle of Cafe Du Monde when we went to NO for her 18th birthday. I was 24 at the time. I drove in from Little Rock, and they drove in from Houston - it was the first time we'd been there since we'd moved away from N.O.It was a Friday/Saturday - 3 in the morning. We'd had a long night of dinner fun and walking around in the quarter.
She just... threw some powdered sugar at me. I told her to stop it and every time I did, she'd fling more on me. My mom was sitting at the table, as well as sister's BFF and mom's BFF. I pleaded with Mom to make her stop... but she just told me to handle it myself, so I got a shaker and threw some back at her... and the people at the table near us moved to another table. I had to go and ask the wait staff for brooms, dust pans, a mop and bucket, and towels to clean up after ourselves. We were covered in sticky powdered sugar by the time we left.
I'd never admit it to her, but it was kind of fun. I wish everyone else would've joined in.
Mod
I had a part time job waiting tables/bartending at the time, so of course I thought about it. I flung dirty mop water at her too when I was taking back all the cleaning supplies so she couldn't do it back to me... :)
Meow-Berry poptarts remind me of Sassy Cat Crudcakes.
Mary, we took the kids to NO in June. Had NO IDEA it would be so stinking hot. The beignets were a high point for the girls. Since we were there in the heat of the summer, it was lively, but not exactly its old rocking self. Still one of my favorite places in the world to visit (and eat!)
Cynthia wrote: "Mary, we took the kids to NO in June. Had NO IDEA it would be so stinking hot."Well, duh. Humidity.
New Orleans and Houston take the cake in that category (and I've called both places "home"). In the same way humidity makes heat unbearable, it also makes cold (50 degrees or less and 100% humidity) unbearable. Imagine slowly getting soaked so that EVERYTHING on you becomes wet - clothes, socks, shoes, gloves, etc. and staying cold until you're bone-chilled, and it takes HOURS to warm up after going inside to heat and a warm shower. It's hard to recover.
And before you Northerners who are used to northern cold call me a wimp for being cold in 50 degree weather, you should know that my silly Connecticut friend has admitted I'm absolutely right on this point and 50 degrees in 100% humidity is UNBEARABLE. Also, my grandmother lives in Illinois and I've been snowed in at her place when temps were below freezing... and it's just a different kind of cold, one which I found to be slightly, ONLY slightly, more bearable.
Of course. Hot plus Hurricane season=miserable.

Oh yeah. Sounds like Ireland in March. They all chuckle and say "oh yes, it's a soft day." We Iowans say, "It' damp and freezing." that's why even when its 55 degrees, they have those peat fires burning in the pubs.
Sally wrote: "I have plain oatmeal with butter and coconut for breakfast most days. With a weak-ass cup of Lipton tea."I have to say NO to coconut. I have a real problem with coconut. It's the texture- it really wigs me out. My husband finds it very amusing.
I'll eat oatmeal with some cinnamon and sugar in the mornings. In fact, a few years ago when I was at my skinniest, this is what I ate every single day for breakfast.
I love breakfast.
I haven't had a poptart in awhile, but I prefer cinnamon sugar or chocolate, with the frosting.
I was born in Houston- it's the most humid place I've ever been.

Sally wrote: "This morning I had blackberries in my oatmeal. It was nice."I can get on board with some blackberries. That is some quality oatmeal right there.
I'm glad you guys haven't called me a sissy. :)
Melinda, I really dislike coconut too (and I hope that Heidi appreciates the effort it took not to type the H word in place of "really dislike" because I really really very much dislike coconut). Beyond the yucky texture it takes like yuck.Heidi, why would we call you a sissy? Because you are a cold-weather-wimp? Well, join the club, sister - and be proud! People shouldn't even live where it's possible for the high temperature to only be freezing. That's just not natural. :-) IMHO.
