It's sort of strange that here in America (and other western countries) we have an entirely different menu for breakfast. Lots of places get by with eating the same types of food throughout the day, but not here. Of course, most people I know would claim breakfast food as their favourite, so I'd like to suggest we start a new country which eats breakfast all day long. Because sometimes you need to have blueberry pancakes and tofu scramble for lunch, say:
I wonder why some foods are so safely trapped in the breakfast category. Plenty of people enjoy eating cereal at other times of the day (maybe the majority of people?), but it's still thought of as strange. Stop the breakfast foods stereotyping!
I made peanut butter granola the other day. Here it is pre-oven:
I added a quarter teaspoon of cinnamon to my batch; I really liked it. Here's the baked granola the next morning, with fresh and dried banana, over vanilla yogurt. Delicious!
I love all your delicious looking recipes. I have that same white and blue Pyrex casserole dish, and I use it all the time... Very handy!

Funny, I just bought ingredients for making granola! Joe and I tried the homemade power bars from Super Natural Cooking. I didn't like them, but he did. I need something with more crunch and less chew...your peanut butter granola looks like just what I need! Yum.

I am a huge fan of breakfast for dinner...cereal, pancakes, French toast...you name it. I'd move to that country!

how funny. here in malaysia we enjoy different types of breakfast food from different cultures. 'nasi lemak', 'roti canai', curry mee - most consider those as breakfast food but we do certainly like to have them for any meal - there are many places selling these 24 hours a day after all ;)
