Electra:
I too, am starving when I wake up.
I try an make sure that my breakfast is in the fridge the night before. Usually I have leftovers from dinner, warmed up fast in a pot or the microwave.
Some things that are my favourites and also double as snacks/meals... about 5 days worth:
stewed apples w/ cinnamon
pumpkin pudding
meat sauce or taco meat
leftover ham (that's what I had yesterday
pancakes with peanut butter and honey (that's what I had today
)
One day I had both apples and pumpkin pudding in the fridge... so I mixed them together and it was 'YUM'.
Of course, I'm currently nursing so I'm pretty much famished every 2 hours and will devour almost anything edible that I can get my hands on.
BTW, I'm just figuring out that whole grain brown rice seems to give me a migraine. I seem quite fine with basmati or sweet rice though. Colour me puzzled!
