welcome to the forum Louise 

Here in Wales the ground is covered in snow, on chilly mornings my darling usually make porridge .
We have a double saucepan and in the evening he gets the porrige ready to be cooked in the morning... water gets put in the lower saucepan and in the upper saucepan he puts the milk and oats so that they soak overnight.

When he gets up in the morning to make the morning cup of tea ( I'm spoilt    )
He switches the heat on under the saucepan.
As the porrige is cooked i a doube saucepan it needs little attention , it cooks happily on its own and just needs a stir before it is served.

My daughter has a slow cooker that has a delay timer in it and so she does much the same only using the slow cooker.

I couldn't cope without my egg and bacon or omelette in the morning, washed down with coffee!

The best mornings are the mornings in which I have time to lightly scramble 2-3 eggs in the residual heat of a lightly buttered frying pan (with black pepper, salt and chopped parsley), serve with baquette toasted in the oven, and make a cafetiere for a great cup of black coffee.

Needless to say I don't have time to do this in the week and I'm now feeling slightly bitter about the bowl of muesli I had this morning.

It is summer here and so I think of Bircher muesli (rolled oats mixed with yoghurt and left til softened , then add grated apple, chopped almonds, and drizzle with honey. Go crazy with other fruits too, berries are especially nice in it.

On really hot days a smoothie is the perfect breakfast. I add oats as well so it has a bit of substance. eg orange juice, banana, yoghurt, milk, oats and honey and a couple of iceblocks. Blend until it is thick and wonderful.

Fruit salad and yoghurt.

In winter I think porridge (mostly oat porridge but I also love semolina porridge!), pancakes, whole grain waffles.

And then I am hungry for toast again!
