I called oatmeal cookies unhealthy and I got blasted - why?

I skipped the maple glaze cuz a reviewer said it was too sweet. I halved the recipe, and had to halve the bacon cuz that was all I had, used a 1/4 C scoop and got seven 224 calorie cookies. They did spread like crazy - need lots of room. Nom nom nom!

You're welcome! I also skip the glaze, but I do add a bit of maple into the batter, because I love the sweet/salty combo it gives the cookies. Eating one sorta reminds me of having a breakfast of pancakes and bacon.

Did this just become a breakfast food thread?

Beer for breakfast I say....you can't drink all day if you don't start right away.

I was about to close this thread from all the herping and derping. Then I got to page 15, where Hornsby took us into the beer dimension. I'm reinvigorated.

I think many of the grapefruit beers (non-IPA versions) pair very well with breakfast, especially the shandy.

Every once and a while there's just nothing better than the sweet/salty breakfast combo.

I'm currently obsessed with the idea of chicken and waffles, but I haven't actually ever tried it (I'm reasonably confident I will like it, it's not exactly easy to make fit). I will have to make that a post huge workout brunch sometime soon.

Now I might have to take up beer. Is there a fruity girly beer that doesn't taste of hops?

Ignore me. I HIPPO'd and it's now about beer and bacon.

Did someone say beer and breakfast ? I'm in.

I just read beer and bacon - my two favourite B's.

It can be about anything you want at this point, as long as you don't make any judgement statements about the positive or negative value of prior posts, your posts, or oatmeal.
