Now that I am a single mom of a teen, I usually make him waffles, or eggs and toast. I want him to do good in school so I like to make him something good. Of course there isn't much time because he normally over sleeps! When I was little I remember eating cereal and a bagel.

My sister and I would pick out what we wanted for breakfast. I remember heating up spaghetti!!! And in school they had each student stand up and say what they had for breakfast, and I'd reply "orange juice, cereal, toast and jelly and milk"!!! What could I DO? I just KNEW they wouldn't approve of spaghetti for breakfast. When I was about 10 years old, my parents worked late at night, so they slept IN in the morning.

Our non-traditional menu for breakfast. Wait for it! It's Chinese egg-drop soup. It is so delicious, especially when it's made fresh at home: Here is the traditional way (taken from About.Com: Chinese Food) http://chinesefood.about.com/od/chinesesouprecipes/r/eggdropsoup.htm): Prep Time: 5 minutes Cook Time: 10 minutes Ingredients: •4 cups chicken broth or stock •2 eggs, lightly beaten •1-2 green onions, minced •1/4 teaspoon white pepper •Salt to taste •A few drops of sesame oil (optional) Preparation: In a wok or saucepan, bring the 4 cups of chicken broth to a boil. Add the white pepper and salt, and the sesame oil if using. Cook for about another minute. Very slowly pour in the eggs in a steady stream. To make shreds, stir the egg rapidly in a clockwise direction for one minute. To make thin streams or ribbons, gently stir the eggs in a clockwise direction until they form. Garnish with green onion and serve. It's delicious. I've worked out the "ribbons" after trial and error. Look for info at the bottom on making them. "Egg Drop Soup Cooking Tips" Have fun!
