made bacon, eggs and toast for breakfast IN THE MORNING and ate it together as a family at the kitchen (or DR) table?
This morning I woke up hungry and energetic. After doing some household chores, I decided it was time for my coffee and cheerios. I walked in the kitchen and decided that just was NOT going to get it today so made us breakfast. Just like old times. :-Þ
AND did you eat a big breakfast growing up? I had bacon, eggs, and toast (or sometimes sausage & gravy) every morning of my life until I was about 32-3. A few years after Terry and I got married I just quit making it in the morning. He went to cereal and I went to a piece of toast. The only time we eat breakfast (a big one) these days is when we have overnight company or the occasional eggs for dinner.

I'll make eggs for breakfast or bacon or toast or eggs and toast or bacon and toast but it's rare that I'll make all three together. It's even more rare that we all sit at the table to eat breakfast together. People usually get fed as they wake up. Actually the only time we sit and have breakfast together at a table is when we go out for breakfast.
I love breakfast foods. We had sausages for dinner last night and every once in a while I'll make pancakes or waffles for supper.

One or two days a week!! When my trkdrvr is home!! I don't always join him, but he deserves a hot breakfast when he's home. One day a month a couple of his friends come over and I cook breakfast for all of them. That will be this Thursday!!

Generally, eggs for us are at dinnertime. However, this past spring I did fix a bacon and eggs breakfast. Usually, we hot or cold cereal and juice or toast and fruit for breakfast. Sometimes, on the weekends I'll make French toast or pancakes.
As a kid I liked Cream of Wheat and oatmeal. I also liked shredded wheat...remember back when it looked like a big haystack? I'm glad they have spoon size shredded wheat now. I ate French toast too. Once in a blue moon I'd eat scrambled eggs. By the time I was in college my daily breakfast was toast and coffee.
When the kids were growing up I tried to vary the breakfast menu...cooked breakfast everyday. When they got older and were at different schools with different start times we ate more cold cereals, toast and juice...my son was so happy to get to eat a bowl of Wheaties every morning....and I cooked all that breakfast stuff when he was younger...silly me. lol.

Message: I cook a breakfast like you mention nearly everyday. I cook it for my son. Instead of pork products I cook Butterball turkey bacon and Jenny O breakfast sausage.
I eat Shredded Wheat or Honey Clusters. We have orange juice and fresh fruit. He's a big milk drinker.

As a family? I don't remember when we last sat down for that kind of breakfast. Tom has it a lot; always begins the day with that if he's playing golf that day. I'm not big on eggs and bacon for breakfast any more. Oh and Tom fixes his own.
If we have people to the lake we put out a big breakfast with Tom doing the majority of the cooking (the eggs and bacon). I do a big bowl of mixed fruit and it's a joint effort for toast, bagels and English muffins.

Hubby is not an egg eater but we have a cooked meal nearly 90% of the time and eat breakfast together every morning. Morning doesn't start here until after 8:30 unless we're going somewhere. Today he cooked me French Toast and bacon. He had oatmeal with apple chunks.
While growing up, Dad had to leave very early in the morning to commute into SF so breakfast typically wasn't a family event.
I've always eaten a good breakfast. In junior high through college it was mostly cereal.

Message: That kind of breakfast will never happen at my house IN THE MORNING. Nope, no way, no how. Now, at night or the afternoon, even. Yes, it wasn't long ago. My favorite is just an egg sandwich. Rarely have the bacon at home, too messy. But it sounds good.
