We love Breakfast for Dinner! It’s one of most inexpensive meals you can serve for dinner. I usually schedule a couple dinners a month with breakfast items, but I also like to change up what I serve.
Recently, I cooked up this Breakfast Scramble and we all loved it. The best thing about a Scramble is you can add ingredients from your fridge that need to be used up. Even if you don’t have enough of one ingredient it’s easy to combine them to stretch and make enough for the entire crew. For this Scramble I used some honey ham and Italian sausage that we had left over from some meals from earlier in the week.
A little tip I learned from Alton Brown to speed things up in the kitchen and make your eggs fluffier; add milk when you are beating your eggs. You want to add about a tablespoon for each egg so count the number of eggs you are using and pour the milk that long. For example if you are using 6 eggs count to 6 as you pour, 1-2-3-4-5-6. Simple.
Serve it up with easy Cinnamon Rolls and a Smoothie and you have a perfect Dinner or even Breakfast treat!

I don’t know if it works yet. But I started a spreadsheet with all of our favorite meals and where the recipes are at. Hopefully, that will help me when I start to try to menu plan.

My tip for menu planning is to recycle your menus. Why go through all the bother of planning them each week or however often and then trashing them? Save each plan and then use it again.

I serve breakfast for dinner often, but I never thought to add cinnamon rolls to it. My kids would love that! We usually have pancakes/waffles, eggs, and sausage. Also, I’ve always added milk to my eggs before scrambling them. They are much fluffier that way!
I make a breakfast scramble quite a bit, tossing in any number of things out of my fridge, including chard, peppers, leftover meats of pretty much any kind, etc.
My meal planning tip, I guess, is to have some flexibility. Just because something was planned for Tuesday night doesn’t mean it has to be made that night, as long as it is made that week. So if Tuesday is super busy, its fine to take the easier meal plan for Wednesday and make it on Tuesday, so long as Tuesday’s meal gets made.
I am just stopping by from the MPM linky list, checking out what everyone else is planning for the week.

My menu planning tip is to switch it up. I tend to get in a rut and cook the same things over and over again so I think it’s important to try new recipes and add them to your menu plan often to avoid getting into a rut.

My tip is… I pick the same day each week for my main dish.
Example:
Monday – fish
Tuesday – Date Night(teenage daughter cooks)
Wednesday – chicken
Thursday – beans
Friday – pasta or pizza
Saturday – beef
Sunday – convenience or crock pot
This has been a huge help to me and helps insure a good variety.If your week is crazy be flexible & switch it around.
I just discovered your blog a couple of weeks ago and I love it!
I don’t have many tips so I think this would be a great resource for me! I try to have as many meals as possible in the freezer and have a well stocked pantry for those nights when nothing is planned.

I don’t have any tips, that’s why I need this book!!!!! My life would be easier if I had my meals organized.

I pick several things for the week since it is just the two of us. We don’t mind the leftovers and if it becomes too much I freeze in lunch portions.

I’m not great at meal planning so this book would be good for me. I try to have already cooked meats stored in my freezer.
