It's time for another round of 5 After 5!  In case you missed it, last week's list was 5 of the best musical dance numbers from movies and if you're new to this series, you can read more about it here.


Today I've got my list of 5 to share, as well as next week's topic for you to stew about over the upcoming days.


And if you've posted your own 5 After 5 list on your blog, I've turned this series into a link party - so be sure to get your own 5 things added below (or leave your answers in today's comments if you're not a blogger).  I loved reading everyone's comments from last week and I really can't wait to see what you share today!



List 5 of  your favorite things to eat for breakfast


I've said before that I'm not a big fan of breakfast, but there are at least five somewhat-breakfast-like (or not) foods that I do like to eat on a regular basis:

1.  Granola with Yogurt



I try to constantly have a batch of this granola on-hand at all times.  It not only serves as a pretty standard breakfast around here, but can also tame a two-year-old's hunger like nothing else in the afternoons ("Nola with yogret, please!")

We like it best mixed in with some thick, homemade yogurt.




I used to make these protein bites for breakfast a lot more often, but lately we've been craving them for dessert, so that's what they've turned into.

Unless we're camping, because then they're an awesome treat to fuel us up for some nice, long hikes in the mountains.

3.  Smoothies



Ah, the hodge-podge of the liquid nourishment world - or at least that's usually the case when I make them.


I typically throw in whatever my eye lands on first when I open up the fridge & freezer in the morning.

Unless I spy some homemade applesauce, because then you can pretty much guarantee that I'll be making this.


4.  Leftovers



I can't think of a single thing I wouldn't be just as gung-ho to eat the next morning for breakfast as I was the night before, but something like this pizza probably tops the list of what I crave. 

5.  Bread & Cheese


Or heck, just cheese...

In my book, cheese is always an acceptable meal, and breakfast is no exception.

This cheese is currently my favorite, although I also like to chunk out a section of Brie when it's around - especially with some yummy homemade croissants...takes me back to some of my favorite breakfasts overseas.




For next week:


List 5 of your favorite household tasks

Inspired by a recent post over at Guilty Chocoholic Mama, I started thinking of the five things I love doing the most as a wife and a mom...which also inspired what will most likely become the following week's list: 5 of your least favorite household tasks.
