Pink Think: “All happiness depends on a leisurely breakfast. “ – John Gunther

I might forget to take my child to soccer practice but she or he would never go without a good breakfast. Now that my oldest goes to junior high, most mornings I get up at 5:30 so I could serve something more than cereal.
Today, for instance, I got up and fixed scones. Some mornings, I fix oatmeal, eggs in a nest (canned hash with egg in the middle), texas toast or crepes (yes, for breakfast!). Or I’ll have store-bought muffins or simple quesadillas.
My husband, who is perfectly fine with cereal or waffles every other day, tells me I don’t have to serve fancier breakfasts. But I do because I know my kids (and my husband) enjoy it.
It all goes back to my mom. She worked outside the home while I was growing up and was very busy. But one thing she never skimped on was a good breakfast to send us off to school with.

Thanks to a tag from Whiteshadow, I will be posting seven things that most people don’t know about me. I decided to post…seven of my favorite breakfasts as a child growing up in the Philippines. They are:
1. Spam and rice
2. longanisa sausage and rice
3. smoked herring (tuyo), fried and served with tomatoes and onion
4. a chocolate porridge called champorado (which my parents called champi-bubbles)
5. fried garlic rice with chocolate milk poured over it
6. tocino (a marinated meat, bad for you but delicious!) and rice
7. hotdog and rice

How about YOU? What were some of your favorite breakfasts as a child?
