Breakfast for dinner...

We have a pretty clear divide about this menu item in our home group...

The guys say breakfast for dinner is a no go. Don't do it. Not a meal. Doesn't count. It is really one of the only things they have been very verbal about not liking....

The girls, LOVE it! In fact, we cheer at the mention of it. Save up calories all day long (okay, I made that one up!), so we don't have to feel guilty eating four of amber's homemade cinnamon rolls.

So, faithful blog readers, is this true in general for guys and gals?

Do you love breakfast for dinner?

eating breakfast for dinner is totally fine. i will admit, though, that it is a hard concept to get used to cuz we are so used to bacon and eggs and cinnamon rolls early in the day. it's kinda like going to church on saturday instead of sunday. it's the same but weird cuz it's not normal. ya know?

i say if the chicks are cooking and they want breakfast, they should go for it. as long as the men get full...they'll be happy.

our kids loves to have breakfast for dinner. they get really excited when we have cereal for dinner. go figure.

bacon sounds good right now...

Woohoo breakfast!

I'm pretty sure my brothers dig the breakfast for dinner thing, and since they aren't likely to comment on this blog, my declaration of their opinions stands.

love it. been doing it my whole life. i love to have pancakes or waffles with eggs and bacon. it is one of the great winter dinners. stinking boys....what do they know?

ps...if it counts as a meal at breakfast, why doesn't it count at dinner?

I am not a huge fan of breakfast anytime of day, but my hubby would eat it for any meal. He loves breakfast food!

Thanks everyone for your comments, it seems clear that this is not a gender divide issue, but perhaps those with superior tastebuds enjoy breakfast for dinner! Just kidding....

I think it might come down to comfort food....for some breakfast seems to be more of a comfort food.....

I do not recall having this opinion. I am, in fact, quite perplexed by it considering I am male and a member of said home group. I am a bit curious as to where it came from.

Joe; that is, the actual Joe. I am not sure who this poser is that has been using my name in vain on Ashlee's blog.

I LOVE breakfast for dinner - it was always a special treat in our home, but looking back it was probably because there was nothing for dinner - and that's all we had. :)

Breakfast tacos, pancakes - always!!! and Monkey Bread - YUMMO!!!!!!!

mmmmm! breakfast for dinner - love it :) When I used to go to the Hemphills' for their weekly Friday night family dinners, at least once a month they would do breakfast for dinner - and it seemed everyone always looked forward to it. I do it often because a lot of times it is easier to cook breakfast for one than to cook a whole meal for dinner.
