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.

We have been fixing these Grilled Potatoes and Mushrooms for years and we never tire of them. I’ve seen these mentioned around the internet as campfire potatoes, we just call them yummy!

Pork Ribs aren’t really your typical budget friendly meal, but occasionally you need to splurge and stretch your budget.

A Bacon-Lettuce-Tomato Sandwich is one of the first sandwiches I learned to make while growing up, and this has remained one of our family’s favorites.

Sandwiches are all the rage now! They aren’t just for lunch anymore, you know? I think the best thing about sandwiches is you can have the same ingredients, and come up with several different sandwiches. These Grilled Italian Chicken Sandwiches were inspired by the Grilled Cheese with Sauteed Mushroom and Jarlsberg Cheese that I shared […]
