HuMJah's Journal, 20 Mar 10

Went to one of my favorite local joints for a rare breakfast this morning (they're a lunch & dinner place, but every so often they do breakfast as a fundraiser for different local organizations; this morning was one of the church's children's department, raising money for Haiti).

As a rule, I dislike breakfast foods that aren't utter carbfests. My mom ruined cereal for me; they all sog so fast that I find them repulsive. I can handle cocoa puffs and cheerios, but that's it, and they have to be THAT brand, and I have to eat them RIGHT after I pour the milk on. I LOVE Oatmeal, but I want it plain; let me flavor it myself... cinnamon, splenda, and perhaps some nuts. I only eat scrambled eggs, and only rarely... I can occasionally eat hardboiled eggs too, but I tend to have a texture issue with them. Bleh. Bacon tends to be salty and fatty, sausage can be a little spicy, and ham can be salty and fatty. I find stuff I like... but it's hard to find quick and easy breakfast foods. Pancakes, French toast, waffles, etc, all are delicious, but so carb heavy. And Hashbrowns! I LOVE hashbrowns!

So I had to find something this morning that would work without being too bad, and I chose their breakfast burrito: ham, crispy bacon, egg, and cheese. And then it came out and it was bigger than I expected, so I was really worried about how many calories it would be. Since this is a local place, they don't have their nutrition info posted anywhere. I went up after I finished and asked if they could tell me how much of each thing was in the burrito... and was pleasantly surprised to find that it hadn't been nearly as bad as I feared!

It's not something I'd eat often, but it was still yummy. I ate breakfast, and it wasn't carb-loaded or ooky!

Lol, I love the carb heavy breakfast items too but rarely if ever eat them. I hate soggy cerel too. I just got really good at putting just enough milk & it it quite quickly. Besides eggs & toast, I usually do something else for breakfast. Most breakfast meat items are pork & I don't eat pork (choice I made nearly 15 yrs ago). I'd say in the last 8-5 yrs I've found many turkey or chicken substitutes breakfast items for pork. Meat &/or eggs are the way I go. Once in a blue moon I might have some french toast or waffles, but hashbrowns or any type of breakfast potatoes are my absolute weakness!
