Pop-tarts
Just finished one. They're just so good. My personal favorite is strawberry, but to be honest I haven't really had that many flavors. I mean, why bother when you've already found perfection, right? Pockets of sweetness, topped with frosting and sprinkles. If you want to be healthy they make low-fat ones, or Fiber One pop-tarts, but come on guys, that's not really the point of pop-tarts. Don't eat 'em for the nutrition, eat 'em for the fulfillment they bring to your life.
Sugar Cereal
This is a wide category including everything from Lucky Charms to Cap'n Crunch to Cookie Crisps (just to name a few favs). Having my intake of sugary cereal limited to birthdays, special occasions and hotel continental breakfast buffets, I have developed a deep love and longing for those little bites of sugary goodness. Pour them in a bowl with some cool milk or munch them up plain- either way they are totally delicious way to start the morning. Bonus: sugar cereal also makes a great snack.
One of my all time favorite foods, and there are so many delicious flavors. Coffee cake (cross between coffee cake and muffin, and piled high with brown sugar), chocolate chip (simple but delicious), triple chocolate (chocolate muffin with chocolate chips, I have no clue where the third layer of chocolate is, but it sure tastes delectable), cranberry-orange nut (little bit of fruit, little bit of berry, little bit of crunch...so basically it's amazing). I like basically every kind of muffin and eat them whenever I can. The one complaint I have? Why don't we just make/sell the tops of muffins? We need more surface area people- it's the best part. But besides that, muffins are perfection.
My family got one of those waffle makers a few years back, and for a while there we all had waffle-mania. We tried eating them with various and sundry toppings until we hit the jackpot- fruit and whipped cream. Waffles with strawberries or blueberries and whipped cream is kind of how I'd imagine heaven to taste. Another great thing about waffles is that they're so big you can eat them for breakfast and not be hungry again until dinner (or at least mid afternoon). This is a great option to order out if you've got a sweet tooth; breakfast places make some great (and HUGE) Belgian waffles. And never forget the whipped cream, that would be like forgetting the frosting on a cake and could be punishable by death.
Sometimes, you just want a pastry. They're real classic sweet tooth breakfast material. There's also a sort of romantic notion of going into a small bakery early in the morning and grabbing some delicious, fresh treats. My favorite bakery is Stanley's in East Islip, NY. Everything I've ever eaten from there is totally scrumptious. Which brings me to my favorite breakfast food of all time, which isn't even a breakfast food at all, ladies and gentlemen, let's give it up for...the black and white! For anyone that doesn't know, a black and white is a circular cookie-cake thing, frosted half chocolate and half vanilla. I have no clue how I ended up eating them for breakfast, but whenever my family stops by Stanley's I have to grab one. A little warning- black and whites at the supermarket aren't really that good, so don't try it unless you can get one from a bakery.
I encourage you all to try starting your day on a good note with a sweet treat (unless you're one of those people who start gagging when they eat a lot of sugar in the morning, in which case you're exempt). So what is you get a few cavities? As long as you have health insurance and don't have a deadly fear of needles you should be okay. Just give sugary breakfast a chance, and if you're anything like me you'll be hooked.
