What do you think about having breakfast for dinner or supper?

Pancakes. Bring it.

It isn’t unusual for my wife and I to have Oatmeal for dinner once a week.
During the cold parts of the year, we will have egg-gravy, which is a celebration breakfast meal around here.

Just two nights ago I took my daughter to the diner and I ordered, for myself, French toast. I justified it by figuring it was like starch (bread) with protein (eggs). The sugar was a bonus! I didn’t need dessert because it was like dinner and dessert rolled into one! LOL

A nice diversion. Eat whatever you like. It’s your life.

You jells know I meant pancakes, right?

Breakfast foods are my favorite foods, and I will eat them at any time of day. If I’m in a diner, no matter for what meal, I’m ordering a huge breakfast!

FYI, I just ate a bowl of cereal, and it’s almost 2:15 AM. :)

Eh, it’s food. You eat what you wanna when ye be starvin’, eh?

We’ve been on a cereal-for-dinner kick lately. Mmmm… Pecan crunch Sometimes, you just don’t want to cook or you’re in the mood for something light.

Every once in a while I love making scrambled eggs for dinner, with lox and bagels (lots of cream cheese on that) and sometimes creamed herring on the side. If I’m on one of my periodic diets, I’ll just have cereal for dinner, usually Grapenuts, with 2% milk.

Not weird at all. I love breakfast food but don’t eat in the mornings. When I’m alone I’ll often have eggs and grits in the evening. When I moved I lost my waffle iron and I just this week got a new one. I’m excited to be able to make waffles now; I just love them with warmed pure maple syrup. Yum!

I LOVE breakfast food for dinner. My mom would do that about once a month and it was one of my favorite dinners. My husband isn’t a big fan of breakfast for dinner, but sometimes I can get him to go with scrambled eggs.

Plenty of people eat cereal or traditional breakfast foods for lunch or dinner. As long as you are eating a balanced, healthy diet why should you be bound by tradition. We occasionally have bacon, eggs and beans for dinner.

We eat breakfast for dinner a lot, but just the egg-bacon-toast thing; never cereal or yogurt and fruit. Those just feel too morning-y to me to import to the evening.

@filmfann I am googling for egg gravy and coming up with a different recipe for every link. Are any of these accurate? What is it, when you make it?

Why not? There are no food rules, just unquestioned traditions.
I often have soup for breakfast, have had leftover chili too. lol This is usually mid-morning so kinda a brunch thing.

Cereal or other breakfast foods for dinner are great!

Love it.

We have breakfast foods for dinner once a week. It’s one of the few meals that everyone loves. I have some picky eaters in my house!

@wildpotato The one labeled Toast and Gravy looks right, but use buttermilk biscuits, broken into small pieces on your plate before pouring the egg gravy on it.

@filmfann Fantastic, thanks. We’ll try it next time we do biscuits and gravy. We can call it biscuits and eggy.

Go for it. I have a friend who does this consistently to alleviate a gastric problem. Works for him.

I don’t like breakfast foods for dinner. Night is the worst time of day to load up on carbs, whether you’re diabetic or not.

I prefer dinner food for breakfast! This morning I had couscous with primavera sauce and fake meatballs.

Definitely not weird at all. We have breakfast for dinner at least once a month. We also sometimes have breakfast for lunch. That happens a lot more often on the weekends.

I’m more likely to go the other direction, like @bookish1, and have dinner for breakfast.
I don’t have much of a sweet tooth and a lot of breakfast foods are sugar-laden.

What I think is weird is the idea that certain foods should only be eaten at certain meals. It doesn’t make sense to me.

It used to be a sweet ritual back when I was younger and lived in Santa Barbara among all the Santa Barbarians. A night of nightclubbing or partying at someone’s house followed by us all piling into a car driven by the one remaining sober person who was serving as the night’s designated driver. Off to one of the 24 hour breakfast spots for a delicious breakfast before a long, long sleep on a weekend. “Those were the days, my friend. We thought they’d never end.”

@YARNLADY I desire breakfast food as my first meal of the day. I could sleep in all morning and wake up at 4pm and I won’t be happy unless I get some cereal or a muffin to eat as my first meal. The only exception I’ll make is pizza. Breakfast foods are my favorite type of food. That must be the reason for my preference.

I will happily eat a full English breakfast at any time of day. Totally unhealthy of course.

I love having breakfast for dinner. Especially huevos rancheros or pancakes. I often have cereal for dessert rather than ice cream or cookies, or instead of popcorn while watching a movie at night.

Mmmmm, breakfast for dinner is awesome! Bacon, eggs, toast and jam… my mouth is watering.

Bacon and eggs are good any time of day or an omelet. But breakfast cereal is not good any time of day, empty calories for the most part, lots of sugar. I am not a total healthy food nut, but I really don’t like cereals.

@rooeytoo Not sure what kind of cereals you are talking about, empty calories? I eat super-high fiber whole grain cereal with no sweetners, then I add pecans and dried cranberries. It’s one of the healthiest things you can eat.

Food is food to me, no matter when you eat it.

@Kardamom – I am referring to the boxes that line the grocery store aisles which is what most people probably think of when the term breakfast cereal is mentioned. I saw some sort of sugar coated bran flakes recently and of course there are always the good old stand bys like Captain Crunch and Sugar Pops or even Rice Bubbles (crispies), don’t they have them in the USA anymore?
