From
Starbucks's Perfect Oatmeal to an
easy way to prepare oatmeal at your desk, we have been talking about breakfast a lot recently. But I know oatmeal is not all you eat for breakfast; in fact, I'm sure some of you don't even like oatmeal. So speak up and tell us what you eat for breakfast.
While the debate is still on about whether or not the
Starbucks Perfect Oatmeal is worth the $3, user
AnnW66 offered this great tip for making it right at your desk.
"If you were just going to work, here's my tip: I keep a box of
five-minute oats (or even better,
Silver Palate oats) in my drawer. Add 1/3 cup to a bowl or mug and add about 2/3 cup hot water.

Last weekend I was struck by a very intense craving for one of my nostalgic childhood foods, so I hightailed it to the grocery store to buy some frozen waffles. I've said before that some of the best sandwiches
evoke memories, and this recipe goes back when I was maybe 7 or 8, and my mom fixed me some waffles before realizing we were out of syrup. She improvised to make this sandwich, and "peanut butter and jelly waffles" soon became one of my favorite meals.Like the nonwaffly version, this PB&J is very easy to make and can inspire countless variations: almond instead of peanut butter, different flavors of waffles or even waffles from scratch, honey in place of jelly, Elvis-style with bananas, and on and on.
After three years of floundering sales,
Krispy Kreme has unveiled a
new business plan. The doughnut chain famous for its hot-off-the-line, melt-in-your-mouth glazed doughnuts will roll out its own brand of soft-serve ice cream, Kool Kreme. The company also plans to open smaller-sized stores and expand its overseas market share.
Breakfast truly is the most important meal of the day. Not only does it help you think, but studies show that eating breakfast can help you maintain a healthy weight. Eating a hearty breakfast will keep your energy levels up and your hunger at bay.
Starbucks sure is indecisive. Last January it announced that breakfast sandwiches would be pulled from its stores. Then in July it changed its mind and simply modified the sandwich recipe.
