Weekday breakfast was always cereal and tea with milk. If I was lucky, Mom made oatmeal. Once the instant stuff was available I never got the "real" stuff from her.
When I was at PayPal I learned how easy it was to nuke "real" oatmeal. I eventually started microwaving all my hot cereals. I now keep packages of Cream of Wheat (today's breakfast, btw), Quaker Oats (the "slow-cooking" kind that only take around three minutes in the microwave), and steel-cut oats in my cubicle. The steel cut take over 10 minutes to cook in the microwave, but when I want them, they're worth it.
Weekend breakfast was usually something special. We'd always have some kind of eggs, bacon or sausage (or occasionally Canadian bacon), and there'd always be a "sweet" entree -- either pancakes, waffles, or French toast. We'd have a pot of coffee, pot of tea, milk, orange juice, low-cal cranberry juice, maybe grapefruit juice (which I rarely noticed 'cuz I can't stand the stuff), and the toast was always made with homemade bread.
Btw, those Coco Wheats sound marvelous! I must try some!!! Did you buy them in the store, or did you mail-order them?
