Breakfast for Dinner!
Tonight we found ourselves in this very predicament. Nothing was planned for nor prepped and neither of us were feeling very ambitious.
Solution = Throw it all in there -- everything but the kitchen sink!
Seriously, though, this is a great way to keep your family's health and budget on track. In the not too distant past had Jason and I found ourselves unprepared for dinner, our solution easily would have been "Hey Honey, why don't you run through the drive-thru on your way home from work and pick up tacos, burgers, or whatever". Or this one "You know that Logan's has that great deal where kids eat free Monday through Wednesday". Or maybe even "You know that Chick-Fil-A just opened up.....hint, hint, hint".
Side note to Jason from your loving wife: I know you've tried going to Chick-Fil-A without me and haven't had any luck. Long lines = Karma biting you in the butt ;)
But when you are on a budget and you're trying to eat healthy none of those options fit in the plan. What does fit in the plan is scavenging your refrigerator and pantry for leftovers that can be tossed together in a pan with some eggs to create a yummy, healthy, and cheap egg scramble. Voila! You've stayed on plan and on budget. High five!
Tonight's scramble consisted of eggs, leftover ham, spinach, tomatoes, and some spices. What else could we have thrown in there had we had them on hand? Broccoli, mushrooms, onions, peppers, sausage....the options are endless.
So what about YOU? What do you love to throw in your egg scramble? What does your family do for a last minute dinner?
Share your recipes, tips, and secrets!
