I love both breakfast for dinner and dinner for breakfast. Sometimes I just want bacon and eggs. If it happens to be 6 pm...so be it.

To me, some foods (especially pasta) taste better the second day. Thus, I will eat lasagna or ziti for breakfast...especially on a weekend.

And nothing beats leftover turkey the day after Thanksgiving. I start early with turkey omelets then progress to the best meal of the year...my leftover turkey sandwich with stuffing, cranberry sauce, gravy and mayo on rye bread!

leftover stuffing is good anytime of day or night

I love making frittatas for dinner. They're like a quiche without the crust. I usually use leftover cooked veggies and cheese/goat cheese. Very tasty! :)

I sometimes do this before a long flight
 
Before a long haul flight I will have an egg omelet or breakfast burrito with hash browns and some toast or a pancake along with some OJ. I feel that this gives me the energy for the long flight and I can sleep onboard. I also sometimes take my travel mug and fill it up with some cereal and then get some milk after security and enjoy it before my departure.

When I used to work a 1 PM to Midnight shift I used to have a lot of breakfast for dinner. When I got off work finally, IHOP was a favorite gathering place of mine. The t-bone steak and eggs with three pancakes was my personal favorite.

Now I can't remember the last time I did this, especially as I consider cereal an any time food.

Missy started this thread at 5:30 pm yesterday, the time my flight was due in. When I actually arrived at 6:40, it was quick stop at market, eggs, bacon, bread, OJ. Home for French Toast dinner, but out of syrup. So: two eggs over easy, shredded hashbrowns, 2.5 strips bacon, toast, OJ. Great dinner, almost as easy as a drive-through. Had the same this morning for breakfast.

So the answer is: Yes!

Obscure2K, I think of fritatta and quiche as lunch/dinner, never breakfast.

Lol, I just finished eating a bowl of cereal at 8pm my time when I saw this thread. Yep, eating breakfast food for dinner doesn't bother me if I'm in the mood for it. Can't bring myself to eat dinner food for breakfast though unless it's part of a big brunch.

Last night was the first time I ever had a bowl of cereal for dinner -- was on my way to a performance, nothing else in the house, no time to shop or eat out. Not my fave, but at least my stomach didn't start growling before intermission.

Well, a frittata could be a breakfast food except it takes too much time & I am hungry and want something quick. I agree that it is really good for dinner. Someone posted that it would be a good travel food. I agree. A frittata is excellent at room temperature.

So what would you consider THIS DISH. There is a big piece of steak under the eggs, and it is muy chileno not-breakfast dish.

I love breakfast for dinner.

Just the other night we were out at a Diner and I had a patty melt burger and a side of pancakes. :)

Breakfast for dinner? Count me in anytime.

Don't do the opposite, unless its cold pizza and/or afternoon when I wake up..

braslvr Oct 20, 2009 9:28 pm

My trouble is that I eat breakfast (eggs + meat + ??) every day for breakfast when at all possible. I prefer to eat it about 3-4 hours after I wake up, but can do it earlier. It's my big meal of the day. I would have no trouble eating it at night if I hadn't already eaten it earlier, but I tend to eat very light dinners. (PS. it's not breakfast without eggs, but can include tons of other things)

How are your cholesterol numbers? I would eat 3-4 eggs a day as well, as I find them delicious, but I worry about the cholesterol.

braslvr Oct 20, 2009 10:05 pm

I don't remember the exact numbers, but the good was very high, and the bad was low. The doc was even amazed. He asked if I drink a lot of beer, which I do, and said that probably accounts for some of it, along with genes and the natural lethicin in eggs. I have been averaging 14 eggs per week for 31 years starting at age 20. Don't believe everything you read. Everyone is different. I eat tons of salt and smoke, and my BP 2 weeks ago was 120/66.
