This is a breakfast that will give you energy to burn later. Go oats!
Plus you can dress your oats up by adding your favorite fruits or berries. Mmm, blueberries! This is another great reason (besides pancakes) to keep frozen blueberries on hand. Just toss them in during step one and they will heat while your oats cook.
What you need:
1 cup of Oatmeal
1 to 1-1/3 cups of water (or milk to make it creamier)
1 egg
1-3 teaspoons of cinnamon (to taste)
**optional** blueberries, apples, whatever...to taste! XD
Step 1. Microwave a cup of regular oatmeal with the water, on high for 2.5 minutes.
**Add frozen fruit here.
Step 2. Remove and add the egg in your oat. Stir vigorously to evenly disperse the egg. It should look cloudy.
Step 3. Stir in your cinnamon (no sugar).
Step 4. Microwave for another 2.5 minutes.
Step 5. Remove and add some milk (to make it a creamier, and slightly less sticky concoction) and anything else you want. You can add some fruit or real maple syrup.
Catyra writes, "You now have whole grains, two sources of protein, and nutrients from any toppings you added. Serve with orange juice for added morning kick and day-long energy. Best thing is, all natural and healthy.
Just don't add any sugar or anything containing corn syrup or you've just counteracted the whole purpose of the meal."

Elwynn Forest Lumberjack Special, aka Crepes by Randalflagg
Might not be ultra-fast gamer foods, but these are as easy to make as they are delicious! Additionally, these do not contain corn starch/syrup, and will fill you up. Don't run around Northrend hungry. Eat some crepes instead!
Basically, a crepe is like a very thin pancake. They are wonderfully light and delicious. If you try this recipe and would like your crepes a little thinner, use only 1/2 cup of milk, and add in 1/2 cup of water.
What you need:
1 cup flour
1 cup milk
1 egg
Optional Toppings: Blueberries, Strawberries, Maple Syrup, Chocolate Sauce (like Nuttella). Pretty much anything you'd put on a pancake, you could use on these. I've also seen cheese, and meat crepes (think about chicken waffles), so those would work as well.
This recipe will make 4 large crepes.
Step 1. Take all of the above and mix them together well (very well, because uncooked flour lumps aren't appetizing).
Step 2. Once you have the mixture ready, at this point you could either go straight to the frying pan, or you could add some other seasonings for taste, like cinnamon or vanilla extract. If you add stuff, mix again until it's evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Step 3. Cook the crepes in a frying pan on medium to low heat. Make sure that each crepe is cooked all the way through.
**Note** How much of the mixture per crepe really depends on how big and thick you want them.
Step 4. Once a crepe is done cooking on each side, find a way to keep it warm until you're finished cooking the rest. This way, you don't have to reheat them later. I suggest an oven-safe plate and keep them on the stove near (but not too close) to your frying pan.
When you're finished, you should end with the crepe equivalent of a short-stack.
Enjoy!

Telaari Grape Salad
So I've been trolling the forums, and I've seen a few requests for a healthy snack. I think I have something to satisfy those requests. This is a recipe for grape salad.
This is something you would make ahead of time and let cool for a few hours, but you will have lots of left overs and its very, very tasty.
Mats:
2 lbs. Red Seedless grapes (They need to be washed and dried off. I usually throw them into a strainer with a paper towel on the bottom and top, and then I just dry them that way.)
8oz of room temperature Cream Cheese (Now for a healthier snack you could use a light cream cheese.)
8 oz of Sour Cream (again you could use a lite sour cream as well)
1/2 cup Sugar (this could be substituted with Splenda)
1 tbs. Vanilla extract
3/4 cup chopped Pecans (You can find them in the bakery isle at your grocery store.They will have tiny bags of already chopped pecans that work perfectly for this.)
3/4 cup Brown Sugar
Step 1: After you wash and dry off your grapes, you will want to put them in your dish that you will be serving this out of. I use a large chip bowl, because you will have left overs.
Step 2: In a separate mixing bowl, mix everything together minus the pecans. Mix this until it's smooth. Careful though, you don't want it to be runny.
Step 3: Once its mixed up, you will transfer it from the mixing bowl onto the grapes. (I then try to coat all the grapes with the mixture, but you don't have to. You could let it just sit on top of the grapes.)
Step 4: Add the pecans. Cover and let them sit in the fridge for a few hours to chill.
This recipe does take about 5-10 minutes to prep. Plus it does have a cool down time (Don't you love having those IRL too!) But, it will literally take you less than a minute to grab some out of the refrigerator, and have a yummy midnight, mid-day, mid-morning, mid-anything snack. That's both yummy and healthy.

Tundra Berry Salad
This idea is for something that's really good for "one of those days." Like when you just don't feel like cooking, or as a snack. Whatever floats your boat. It's a very light recipe.
Mats:
Salad greens.. Lettuce, or baby spinach is good. For a quick fix, use one of the bags of mixed greens.
a Handful of Raspberries
a handful of Dried cranberries
1 can of Mandarin Oranges. you'll want to drain these
a handful of grapes
about a cup of shredded cheese. Your choice.
You could add some sliced almonds if you want as well.
Throw everything in a bowl. Add your dressing. I would use a vinaigrette with this. Raspberry would be really good.
If you're looking for something more, add a few pieces of chicken as well.

Simple Fruits, Great Taste!
Summer sweets can begin with a simple fruit. Choose your favorite melon (for this I love watermelon--cantaloupe and honeydews will work as well), add some pineapple and shredded coconut for a healthier alternative to chips.
Not only is this delicious dish simple, but the juicy melon is refreshing.
Remember to choose fruits that are in season. This will save you money and often the fruits taste better too!
If you are entertaining, take out your melon-baller. This will make this an attractive dish!
Skip the cola and go fruit!
