Breakfast planning

[RKins]

Some people say that you can't eat the same thing every day for breakfast, for instance. When you are working for a living for a company everything was timed - you gave yourself 10 minutes for breakfast before you headed to work, or took it with you to eat on the drive. The company gave you 30 - 60 minutes for lunch and dinner was up to your timing. Burritos were good for the 10 min allowance. I made and ate a salad for lunch every day for the last 6-7 years of employment (when I wasn't on the road) , I added chicken or some protein to it and was happy for my 30 minutes - also had an Apple or Orange for desert. The 30 mins was more for visiting with co-workers.

From what I've learned I think that saying is more of a push for variety. Humans need a lot of different vitamins and nutrients so you had a better chance of getting those if you varied your diet. Most of the things we need don't have to be eaten every day to keep us healthy.

We (wife and I) find that the longer we're out, the more consuming (see what I did there?) our meals/ planning become. First day... toast and coffee. Then, "Hey, did you bring...?" Then, "Let's stop and get..." Each meal gets more elaborate than the last.

By the end of the week, we're cutting up post-it notes to dress the crown of lamb with those little paper hats that go on the bones.

Ok, but seriously...

I guess what I was getting at is if you're on a timer, eating the same thing every day (with little changes) during those timed meals, is ok. As long as it is good tasting and healthy, its a good deal.
If you had 30 mins and had to go find a meal in that time, the odds are that the meal found was bad for you. I did have a favorite butcher that I would go to every few weeks and get a fresh sandwich and something else like chips, spud salad, coleslaw, etc - wonderful change

Concur. I'm a working man. While meals become more involved when time allows, we also carry cold cereal and canned soup for when it doesn't .

I cook a whole package of bacon or Jimmy Dean at a time.

All I have to do in the morning is cook up some egg whites, wheat toast and heat the meat up.

Breakfast in 5 minutes, one small skillet to clean.

Ha...just bought some microwave Jimmy Dean croissant breakfast sandwiches because we'll be on the road for a couple of days. Never had them...I'll check back and let you know ?

Didn't everyone get up early and make their wives a breakfast omelet? Or was it only us smart ones?

Mighty manly of you @Jim, good job. Or are you in the dog house with Rex for some unknown reason?

Past experience has shown preemptive planning to be a wise tactic. That, and I haven't told Trish about the new drone yet!

.The homemade frozen breakfast burrito idea is interesting- I assume you freeze some? do the scrambled eggs in the burrito freeze and reheat ok?
We tend to eat for breakfast, nearly every day while out - the following: Steel-cut oats with a serving of nuts (Several servings could easily be made ahead and frozen or refrigerated, but my husband insists on cooking get himself fresh every morning, OK), plain greek yogurt with berries. toast, coffee for me. We sometimes do bacon or ham or eggs.

Something tells me I'm going to get the raw end of this deal!

If by that you mean, am I’m going to throw you under the bus, then yes.

 

[Jim]

OK Neal, I’m sorry. I’d never throw you under the bus. Honest, I just wouldn’t.

Well, maybe it’s possible, but everything I feel tells me I wouldn’t. Nope, I just wouldn’t.

But then again, I guess it could happen.

Damn dude, you’re toast. . .
