Don’t you hate feeling repetitive?
Don’t you hate feeling repetitive?
Yes, I do amuse myself… hahaha! 🙂 Seriously though. I’ve done quite a few #strangebutgood breakfast posts. It’s just so easy to be strange in the morning! Maybe I dream about it since I typically fall asleep thinking about breakfast?
I have a few (more) atypical breakfast ideas for you today… but they could double as dinners or even a dessert!
1. Griddled Crab Mexican Pizza
This was inspired by my Griddled Chicken and Grapefruit Pizza. I told you I’m being repetitive. #sorryimnotsorry
I’ve been eating more savory breakfasts lately. My sweet tooth is legendary, and I find if I don’t start the day off with a sweet meal it helps keep it in check. At least until lunch.
I prepared this just like in this post, except my toppings were crab, kale, salsa, and avocado.
2. French Toast with #yolkporn Syrup
For some reason I think it’s more acceptable for me to use the word “porn” if I hashtag it. Hmmm…
You may remember this from Wednesday (again with the repetition!), but I wanted to go into more detail. Because it was that good. I wanted french toast and a runny egg… so I just combined the two! That delicious local egg yolk made of a fantastic savory syrup on my toast.
Adding the blueberries on top with a touch of toasted coconut added the slightest sweetness, completing each delectable bite.
I prepared a healthy french toast just like in this PB&J French Toast recipe, using P28 Protein Bread for extra protein. When I cooked my egg, I just added blueberries and the coconut to the other side of the pan to be warming. Looks fancy, but it was quick and easy!
3. Peanut Butter Shirataki “Rice” Pudding
My last repetitive meal was created from Wednesday’s dinner leftovers. I had tried the Skinny Noodle Shirataki “Rice” for the first time. I loved the Israeli couscous-like texture! Perfect for breakfast, no?
One package is 2 servings. Since I’d already prepped the whole package (you MUST rinse and warm to avoid the funky flavor), I used the second half to pre-make breakfast. What resulted was reminiscent a thick, creamy bowl of peanut butter rice pudding. Incredible. I sampled a bite before bed and it was all I could do not to house the whole thing right then and there.
Mine was topped with a fresh Georgia peach, but I think any fruit would be good here. Like banana… mmmm… breakfast tomorrow…
Ingredients:
- 1 serving Skinny Noodle Shirataki “Rice”
- 1/2 C unsweetened vanilla almond milk (or other liquid)
- 1/4 C peanut flour
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp ground ginger
- 1/4 tsp almond extract
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
- Vanilla liquid Stevia, to taste
Mix together all ingredients. Cover and place in the fridge at least one hour, or overnight.
In the morning, remove from fridge and stir. You may need to add additional liquid to thin it out to your preference.
Top as desired and enjoy!
Note: I order my peanut flour from iHerb – I like it better than PB2 because it is less processed and doesn’t have the added sugar and sodium. Use my discount code – USO924 – for $5-10 off your order!

I hope everyone had a wonderful 4th of July!!! We got drenched but made the very best of it.
When was the last time you felt repetitive?
Does a more savory start to the day help curb your sweet tooth?
Haha I thought your intro was amusing;)
It’s so weird but I can’t even remember the last time I had a savory Breakfast. I just feel so wrong doing it for some odd reason. It’s not in my blood, I suppose.
I could totally eat these for Dinner though…or Lunch.
And I’m super intrigued by your rice pudding! So interesting.
I’m glad someone else did… LOL! 🙂
I just ordered Shirataki rice, I can not wait to try that pudding!
And I love the idea of runny yolk as syrup. Hmmmmm.
You have to let me know what you think! It’s soooo good!
I love me some #yolkporn! It’s hard to believe that I used to think the yolk was disgusting. So sad that I missed all the goodness for so many years.
Same here! Now I can’t go more than a couple of days without!
Mm yum what a good idea to use the shirataki rice as a pudding!! I’m gonna have to go out and buy some more now just so I can make this 🙂
Thanks! Let me know how you like it. 🙂
ohh i did that pb rice noodle one before. It’s freakin AWESOME! Slurply nutty goodness. You can repeat that anytime!
😉
Well, breakfast is definitely the best meal of the day, so making it the strangest-but-good meal? Why not! Or would that be strange-but-goodest? Either way, I’d eat ’em. Except maybe not the shirataki rice. I can’t handle the noodle version.
It’s really different overnight!
Everything sounds tasty, Laura! I especially like the sound of the “rice” pudding. Going to have to look for the shirataki.
I’m not linking today, because life has been a bit topsy turvy this week, read that as not much cooking going on. But I did tell everyone to check out Strange But Good. Hope to be back next week…have a great day!
I LOVE your strangbutgood creations. Seriously LOVE. Starting the day on a savory note totally curbs my sweet tooth! But I never want to- I always want something sweet in the morning! Go figure… 🙂
I’m the same… but if I can hold off til afternoon snack I’m sooo much better off.
Oh that rice sounds really cool. I am so repetitive with breakfasts that it’s just sad.
I seriously eat the same breakfast like every morning. It’s an egg sandwich. Sometimes I think of making something else, and then it never sounds as good as my egg sandwich.
The shiirataki rice pudding sounds amazing. Love that it is prepped the night before because I never have extra time in the morning.
The pb rice pudding sounds awesome! I’ve been slacking on sharing recipes lately… hmm, maybe L can help me create something strange but good this week…
Considering that breakfast is the best meal of the day, it only makes sense to focus all of your strange-but-good efforts there 😉 And you just can’t beat #yolkporn (you’re right, the hashtag makes it acceptable). I haven’t tried it on french toast yet, but I do love it on rice cakes and oatmeal!
I like the way you think. 🙂
Rice cakes. Why do I keep forgetting to buy them?!
WOW. that is bravery!:) That rice pudding. I would have never dared to think that’s an option.
Yeah, I start out strange but good sometimes–like this week, as I’m linking up my Sweet Corn and Blueberry waffles. They are inspired by Alanna’s Sweet Corn, Blueberry, and Cucumber Salad but honestly, cucumbers in a waffle is just a little too strange for me. I stuck with corn and blueberries and that’s a strange but good way to start the day.
I can go either way on sweet or savory to start my day, but I’m usually not hungry until at least mid-morning so my “start” has been savory of late. I’ve been fixing loads of greens-and-eggs meals since I’ve been getting so many lovely greens from the CSA farm share, but the money shot of yolk porn continues to evade me.
Utterly jealous of your yolk porn.
Thanks!
all your food always looks so good!! i don’t mind being repetitive with my food, but itz fun to try new combos too!
I think that I have become obsessed with runny yolks because of all your yolk porn!! haha. It’s so good!
Hahaha – I feel so accomplished!
Thi sounds so good, as do most all of your strange but good combinations. I mean how can you not love pb and peaches? Hope you have a great weekend!
I feel repetitive Mon-Fri. It’s always the same, wake up, gym, work, home, prepare for tomorrow, sleep, repeat. ha, and I always make an egg white scramble at work in the morning bc it’s the easiest and most satisfying breakfast I could put together. I guess I should jazz it up so my life doesn’t turn into Groundhog Day!
ooooh, I could totally see the egg/French toast combo being delicious! Love that salty sweet action 😀
I’m the same way!!! I think that’s why I liked the rice crispies I posted today so much – a little salty PB makes it. 🙂
Okay Okay. The peanut butter shiraki is… very odd..! Ah ha ha ha! And I cannot even spell shiraki and I am too lazy to scroll up and check. Awesome July 5th. LOL!
That looks incredible. Do you have to buy the rice online or can you get at the store?
They sent me these to sample… I’m not sure where you can get them around town (but I haven’t sought out this brand until now). They have an option to order online though!
I just can’t seem to get on board with eating savory in the morning, but I will say, it does curb my sweet tooth. My favorite way to enjoy savory in the morning is 2 whole organic local eggs with tomatoes and avocado on top with cracked black pepper and parsley. YUM! However, I never eat this and usually go with my sweet smoothies instead:) However, if I’m out of town and at a restaurant, eggs are my go-to option. Thanks for the strange but good inspiration! I consider all my food strange lol:)
That is one of my favorite savory combos too – I love avocado with eggs!
Talking about yolk porn is always acceptable, in my opinion!! Us true runny yolk lovers appreciate it! 😉
#yolkporn lovers unite!!! 😉
I am the master of repetitive!!! 🙂
So much strange but goodness!! I love this series. I HAVE to try those brownie bars Debbie featured – and those waffles look so good too!
I can’t wait to try those bars too!!!
I didn’t know shirataki made a rice version! I’d be so down for your treat/breakfast, ‘cept I’d used real peanut butter and then thicken it with a little coconut flour instead.
Coconut flour would have been a great add! I love that texture.
That french toast sounds delicious, especially since I’m on an egg kick recently!! I really hope to get back on the strange but good bandwagon soon — I miss all the fun recently.
Ummmm… I think you’re HAVING all the fun lately. 🙂
Those breakfasts actually sound really good. I have been in such a breakfast rut! I need to make that french toast… anything with eggs is my favorite right now.
