We have always made meal time a priority.
When Matt works 2nd shift, the morning meal and the mid-day meals are the big sit down meals.
When Matt works 3rd shift, the evening meal is the big sit down meal.
Sometimes we will have "Dinner & A Movie Night", whereby we sit in the living room while watching the movie. Sometimes that actually entails LEAVING the house and really going OUT to dinner and then catching a movie. Those are fun & special treats.
Breakfast is almost always a hot meal consisting of some sort of egg dish, potatoes, hash browns, corned beef hash, rice, meat, Spam, fried onions, black beans, maybe salsa. Tuna used to be in on the list before the big earthquake in Japan, now I won't eat fish at all. Also included could be tortillas to wrap up things. My latest discovery was Breakfast Tator Tot Casserole!! Very yums! We used to do lots of cereal or pancakes, muffins, sweet breads, but since I've been watching what we eat and since I have to be gluten-free, pastry items don't really make the breakfast menu often.
The best breakfasts are leftover cold pizza from Tony's Pizza or leftover Birthday cake. Whenever there is a birthday, we eat cake for breakfast every morning until it's all gone - our crazy family tradition!
