breakfast ideas

nabum

Hi friends,

 Friday mornings my team rotates bringing breakfast for the whole team. Tomorrow is my turn and I am plum out of good ideas... I was seriously considering doing 100 calorie packs of various snacks, and energy drinks, but I don't know if anyone else would be into that.

Any suggestions? the bonus fun part is that tomorrow is crazy Hawaiian shirt day for our department, so something Hawaiian themed would be even better.

 Thanks!

a) that is a really fun idea!

b) what about hawaiian sweet rolls, like the king's hawaiian brand with butter and tropical jam on the side. you could also add some chopped pineapple or mango or pick up juice and fruit-flavored tea.

I don't know what the dynamics of your office are and what people usually bring, but I'd honestly be pretty sad to get 100-calorie packs for breakfast. If I were to bring that in to my office, there are people who would seriously talk sh!t about it for days.

It's not terribly original, but bagels from Panera are pretty popular over here. Maybe with some fresh cut fruit, including pineapples as a nod to the Hawaiian theme.

I am sure my team would not be happy with 100 cal packs... Luckily, we all talk sh-t to eachother regularly, so it wouldn't be anything out of the ordinary.

thanks for the idea, Ajones. I think I will pick up some hawaiian rolls & fruit and probably a couple of quiches as well. Super!

Our every-other-Friday payday breakfast burritos always make me happy.

thank you for the recipes. To be honest, I am waaay too lazy to get up and bake anything before work, but I'll save those for later.

I love me some breakfast burritos, but we have those about every other week here and I was hoping to do something different. I've always been difficult like that.

I wonder if there is any way to request Hawaiin themed Krispy Kremes?

Do you have a Corner Bakery near you?  Don't they deliver?  Maybe you could just buy a mixed pastry/baked goods package?  Noah's is also good because they have big things of coffee for groups now.

Spam & rice = Hawaiian breakfast to me.  But something tells me 100 calorie packs would be better than that for most.
