I agree with those who don't like to eat right after they've woken up. I won't eat brekkie till at least two hours after I've been up and usually after a work out. My regular breakfast is either 2 hard boiled eggs, a half searving of oatmeal with a bit of cinammon sprinkled on top, or an egg white scramble (add one yolk) with all the veggies I can find in my frig topped with hot sauce, chives and maybe some feta or goat cheese.

For a treat or for when I have company I love to make Paula Deen's baked french toast with the praline topping (http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/p...pe2/index.html) served alongside Rachael Ray's chicken sausage patties with green apples (http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/r...ipe/index.html). I generally don't like Rachael's recipes but this one is delicious.

But my all time favorite breakfast ever is bagels and lox...but it has to be done right. Or at least my version of right. I start with a perfectly toasted plain bagel and slather on plain cream cheese. Top with a smattering of capers and then a good amount paper thin sliced red onion, followed by the lox, a good squeeze of fresh lemon juice, a slice of beefsteak tomato about 1/2" thick, another squeeze of lemon finished off with the tiniest pinch of sea salt and a good amount of fresh cracked pepper. The order of placing everything is important so you don't have capers and other items running off the bagel. It's something about the creaminess of the cheese, the saltiness of the salmon, the freshness of the tomato, along with the bite of the capers and raw onion that makes this insanely good.

Now I'm hungry!
