    I love coffee - how do you make and take yours? @avskk

    Depends on how much time I have! I am embarrassed/proud to say I have five different coffee-making mechanisms at my house and several kinds of beans. This morning I made moka espresso (espresso beans) and poured it over ice for a quick iced Americano. Some mornings I make regular drip coffee (light roast). In summer I make a lot of cold brew -- I actually have a special cold-brew carafe. Sometimes I make French press coffee (medium Italian roast, either hot or I use the press to make quicker cold brew for iced). And on lazy weekends I tinker with my actual espresso machine, which I haven't quite gotten the hang of yet. I tend to drink all of these either black or with just a little touch of flavored creamer. My favorite so far is the moka espresso, especially over ice, but really I just love any coffee I can get.

    I thought my house had a lot -- we have a moka, an espresso machine, and a french press. I also do cold brew, but I don't have a special carafe. Oh, we also have a little special saucepan-type thing for Turkish coffee.

    We're really into coffee.

    I knew you were my kind of people, @janejellyroll. I just knew it.

    I usually have a Dannon light and fit greek yogurt with granola or flaxseed added. If I'm still feeling hungry some fruit. If it is a REALLY hungry morning 1 egg, 1 egg white, green onion and tomato scrambled then put it on 1/2 an english muffin or a bagel thin. Coffee and water

    I drink a protein shake every morning or a serving of oatmeal if I am out of protein shakes.

    I had a couple of hard boiled eggs, will probably do the same tomorrow. Convenience is the name of the game for the foreseeable future. :( I did get some lovely ideas from this thread for future, less harried breakfasts, so thanks for that!

    I rotate between:
    Poached eggs over broiled or sautéed veggies
    Greek yogurt over cinnamon baked apple
    Zucchini pancakes

    All depends on availability of ingredients that morning, time availability, and goals for the day.

    Lately I have been cooking my way through Julia Child's quiche chapter, about one per week. They are fairly light and I like eating them with some veggies. And they are not that much work when you buy pre-made pie crusts (shhhh don't tell her).

    This morning I am (not) ashamed to report that I ate chocolate almond ice cream direct from the ice cream maker, with a sliced banana. I made the custard last night and had the ice cream maker finish the batch while I got dressed for the gym.

    I use Julia’s base recipe for all of my quiches - just made one yesterday for Mother’s Day (with shallots, ham, and asparagus). They are perfect! I do use her recipe for pie crust as well (because I like making pie crust - I do roll them out into the pie plate and freeze them ahead of time).
