I'm also partial to toast with strawberry jam on it. A tip on jam: make it yourself! Most shop jams are only about 50% berry or whatever, the rest is water, sugar, gelatin and preservatives. Jam-making is also relatively simple (depending, of course, on what jam you're making). Sample strawberry jam: 80% strawberries, 20% plain sugar, blend to desired consistency, freeze. (Side note: buy farmer's market strawberries if you can; supermarket ones tend to be grown in hydroponics gardens and be rather tasteless, probably due to lacking micronutrients.)
