I love Mediterranean food but usually only eat it for dinner or lunch (going to make a Mediterranean stew to feed off this weekend).

What warm foods are there that I could have for breakfast? I suppose I could carry on eating what I eat but it's fun to change things up every now and again. I just can't handle cold food like yoghurt at the moment because it's autumn and things are getting pretty chilly!

I agree I find breakfast is usually cold for me most times of the year because I don't have time to make a hot breakfast and don't own a microwave, and I don't fancy oatmeal. I am thinking that I should be a bit more open-minded about oatmeal with nice things mixed in, like cinnamon and fresh fruits and honey. If you do own a microwave, I read a suggestion of baking eggs with a bit of cheese and meat in a muffin tin, which gives you a perfect serving size and then you can just reheat it and pop it between two slice of bread or eat it as it. Sounds brilliant, makes me wish my apartment had a built-in microwave!

What's your stew recipe? Maybe you could post it in the dinner thread?

I've made eggs in muffin trays in the oven before - I put a buttered piece of bread butter side down, cracked in an egg,added salt, pepper, covered with a slice of tomato and sprinkled with cheese - could be done easily without the bread but would need non-stick muffin tins

My stew is really basic, haha, Basically Mediterranean herb paste sautéed with onion, add chopped eggplant, zucchini, mushrooms, asparagus. Then add a tin of tomatoes and some vegie stock, then when vegies are almost done add a can of chickpeas.
Sooo yum, I make enough for about 4 meals at a time (I use a whole eggplant, approx 4-5 zucchini, 4-5 mushroom, 1 bunch asparagus, 2C stock) and it's about 200-250 calories per meal. I usually have it with toast haha. The only issue is that it is high sodium due to the stock. Could use low-sodium stock but the stock I use is sooo delicious.

Shakshuka sounds great for breakfast. I have been on the ediet meal program which is delivered to my home once a week. The meals are prepared and all I have to do is microwave them at home or the office. The program has done well to kick-start my diet but it is not teaching me how to cook for myself. Breakfast has always been my favorite meal of the day and the shashuka sounds like a good place to start. Does anyone have a tasty low-calorie bloody mary receipe?

I also made a tarragon sauce for dinner for the fish and couscous patty. The kids thought the patty's were corn bread.

I'm Greek, and you'd think my breakfasts would be more like yours but they aren't. My breakfasts are pretty boring. I have 2 small boiled eggs, cut in 4's. I sprinkle salt and pepper on them and poor a dollop of Extra Light Virgin Olive Oil and stir. All that brings out the flavor of the boring eggs and those puppies hold me until around 1:00 or 2:00 (I usually have breakfast at 8:00 or 9:00). Apparently this is how they used to eat in the mornings back in the day in the small villages on the smaller islands.

I do overnight oats as well, it’s just so easy to prepare ahead of time and have as a grab and go meal. Sometimes I use organic maple syrup instead of honey, so yummy. I also add in some chia seeds and will chop up a banana or add fresh berries right before eating. If I’m extra hungry, I’ll stir in a spoonful of almond butter too.
