Typical breakfasts

I’ve decided to post a sample of our menus, followed by a one-month shopping list. Here is the first installment: a list of our typical breakfasts.
Breakfasts that lack significant protein include a generous glass of milk. I’m prone to low blood sugar so I *have* to be sure to include a good bit of protein for myself, or plan to snack again soon.
Sometimes we’ll treat ourselves to a glass of juice or fresh fruit on the side.
We eat the following about once/week:

• whole grain (but not homemade) toast & peanut butter – our hurry-up breakfast
• pancakes, from scratch, of course; mine have chopped walnuts for protein
• fried eggs & toast; the 4 oldest love to do their own eggs. It’s rather time-consuming, but also a good use of time, I think. We do scrambled when we’re in more of a hurry.
• cold cereal – inexpensive unsweetened varieties, like corn flakes, bran flakes, toasted oats; or the yummy health-nutty stuff bought on sale with a coupon. I very rarely pay over $1.50/box.
• oatmeal, sometimes w/cinnamon and diced apples or canned peaches
• Monday-Friday, Hubby usually has a freezer burrito or a homemade breakfast sandwich of sausage, fried egg and cheese on whole grain toast or on homemade biscuits.
• Saturday brunch: eggs, sausage, grits, biscuits, sausage gravy. Or leftover Friday night pizza.
• Sundays are sometimes egg, cheese & sausage biscuits, if we remember to make the biscuits Saturday night. The eggs are cooked as an oven omelet – pop it in the oven and it’s done by the time everyone is done dressing and grooming.

Other occasional breakfasts:

• french toast
• cream of wheat
• grits w/butter, salt and pepper, or sometimes with sausage, cheese and eggs stirred in. Hubby loves them this way!
• homemade vanilla pudding, made with extra eggs and way less sugar than the recipe calls for, of course
• homemade muffins or banana nut bread
• hasty pudding – a Laura Ingalls recipe. Cornmeal mush topped with butter and syrup.
