Breakfast is looking more like dinner. Shop your kitchen first.

Breakfast does not have to come from the cereal aisle. WCCO reported November 9 on growing interest in savory morning meals, including eggs, vegetables and foods more often associated with dinner.

Registered dietitian Maya Feller, whose comments the report drew from ABC's Good Morning America, emphasized variety rather than making protein the only priority.

For our grocery list, that opens up a practical question: What do we already buy that could work in the morning?

• Choose familiar ingredients. Eggs, toast and vegetables can make a savory breakfast without an entirely new shopping list.
• Plan more than one use. Before adding a large package, decide where the remaining ingredients will fit into other meals.
• Check the whole basket. A product marketed for breakfast is another option to compare, rather than an automatic addition.

There is no need to change every morning's routine. Start with one meal that fits our tastes, time and budget.

Shopper takeaway: Build breakfast around ingredients we will actually use.
