Breakfast for Dinner.....What are You Having?

12 years ago

Today was a cool (18C) overcast day with intermittent rain. The heat and humidity are coming back in for the weekend and next week. I much prefer the cool temps!

I made French toast topped with sliced apples simmered in a butter and brown sugar sauce. Sausages on the side. Delicious!

Boy, without even planning it, I fell right in with the plan. I had breakfast for dinner too. Ham, over easy eggs, whole wheat toast, and a glass of milk.

Oh Carol those are really cute pancakes! Today I had a piece left over from my pizza making yesterday....mine was a vegetable tart, a recipe from Mallorca where I used to live. It's a sort of a ratatouille tart and tastes even better the next day. I usually have some whole grain toast, fruit or yoghurt and a black coffee but it's nice to eat something different for a change. SharonCb

Do you have a great freeze-ahead meatless breakfast casserole?
Q
Comments (6)
This is a Cooking Light recipe that has become a standard at our house. I have not frozen it, but I don't see why it wouldn't work to freeze it. I've taken it to events where I needed a vegetarian option -- for breakfast, lunch or dinner. I usually use the whole can of black beans, a generous cup of salsa (I use Pace medium and will measure more generously if using the thick and chunky). I also tend to add another egg and/or egg white to have enough to cover it all. It will fill a deep pyrex casserole that is almost the size of a 13x9. Breakfast Tortilla Strata 1 cup bottled salsa 1 cup canned black beans, rinsed and drained 10 (6-inch) corn tortillas, cut into 1-inch strips Cooking spray 1 cup (4 ounces) preshredded reduced-fat Mexican blend or Monterey Jack cheese, divided (who measures? ;-) ) 1 cup low-fat sour cream 1 cup fat-free milk 1/2 teaspoon salt 2 large eggs 2 large egg whites 1/4 cup thinly sliced green onions (optional) Combine salsa and beans in a bowl. Place one-third of tortilla strips in an 11 x 7-inch baking dish coated with cooking spray. Top with 1/3 cup cheese and about 1 cup salsa mixture. Repeat procedure with one-third of tortilla strips, 1/3 cup cheese, and remaining salsa mixture; top with remaining tortilla strips. Combine sour cream and next 4 ingredients (sour cream through egg whites); stir with a whisk. Stir in onions. Pour over tortilla strips; sprinkle with 1/3 cup cheese. Cover and chill 8 hours or overnight. Remove casserole from fridge and preheat oven to 350ÃÂ°. Remove cover and bake. My recipe got cut off here, but I think the original instructions said 45-55 minutes. Mine always takes a bit over an hour and it seems most folks cook an hour to an hour and 15 minutes depending on the type of baking dist, depth of the strata, etc. The top should be a bit browned and the center just set. If you have folks with no heat tolerance, use a mild salsa in the strata, You can serve with a spicier salsa and sour cream on the side for folks to dress to taste. I have made this with nonfat plain yogurt instead of sour cream -- works fine.

After the big Thanksgiving dinner, what do you do?
Q
Comments (34)
When all of our family (that lives here in town) always got together we would set up 3 or 4 tables and play pitch. Some would go through the paper to see what items they were going to head out for on Black Friday. and others would just sit and talk. But now each family has grown and we kind of just stayed with our own family. After losing 4 family members last year it went that way. I'm not liking it...I miss getting together with them all. My daughters are going to their spouses side of the family this year so it will be just our son and his girl friend with us tomorrow. One daughter will be coming later and we will have a game night Then on Saturday we will have another Thanksgiving day with the girls and Jeff if he wants. lol....aren't you sorry you ask. patti

Yay! Robert just got home and I asked him if he felt like having breakfast and he is always really enthusiastic about that! Ours will be buckwheat pancakes, ham sausage patties, and fresh fruit.

Thanks so much for the inspiration, jasdip.

I like breakfast for supper too! However, I had a peanut butter sandwich, a glass of milk and a Little Debbie Zebra cake. Shopped for groceries today. Lunch was at Fazoli's. Nice day out again.

I like breakfast for dinner too! We haven't done that in a long time! We have no kind of breakfast meat right now; we used the last yesterday morning. In fact, DH used the sandwich ham to cook in a scramble this morning.

DH ate early. He was supposed to leave to go out of town on business but has opted to get up really early in the morning instead. I'm having a Healthy Choice Crustless Chicken Pot Pie. It's quite tasty. Trying to somewhat stick to my diet.

No breakfast foods after 6:30am. Maybe that's why I'm reluctant to make Quiche, it's nothing but a baked Omlette? More disgusting 70ÃÂ° for July. Staying indoors with the windows nailed shut. What happened to the comfy 80 & 90's? Anyhow, leftover stir fry with chow mein noodles, this time adding a spoonful of rice., Some sliced cucumbers/onions soaked in oil/vinegar. I smell some ice cream too. And one of those big candy bars. Feasting is simple, let's eat.

Dessert for dinner hereÃ¢ÂÂ¦..DH and I went out for Chinese at lunch. We brought half home but I'm saving mine for tomorrow. I just finished a bowl of watermelon. YUM.

Sounds delicious Jasdip. I often have breakfast for dinner. Homemade blueberry pancakes or French toast. Never thought to add an apple topping so will try that next time. When I usually cook peameal bacon it is always for dinner. My favourite breakfast though is fresh sliced peaches eaten with buttered toast preferably Rudolphs premium sandwich bread toasted. Today for a late lunch or dinner I made sliced tomatoes on toast topped with old cheddar and broiled until the cheese melted. Yummy

LOL, lots of breaksfasts for dinner tonite!!
Lots of ideas for the next time we have it, too.

Cherryfizz, haven't seen you in quite a while.

OF, I love the coolish temps.

Georgysmom, we have a dinner date with a friend for Chinese on Sat. We're looking forward to it.

LOL Ellen. Your dinner sounds good. Nice and simple. Hubby loves, loves hotdogs, and just recently he discovered that he likes sauerkraut! At least the way I make it, which is the sauerkraut cooked with the sausages, not steamed separately.

Sue, you had a busy day as usual.

Matti and Rhizo......you're welcome for the dinner suggestion! :D

Shirley, I hear you, on liking the cool weather! I'm bracing for another hot and humid spell the weekend and
next week.

Lots of fresh veggies from the garden means a saute. Onions, garlic scapes, carrots, summer squash, green pepper - all from the garden. Supplemented by tomato and cabbage from the store. I kicked it up a notch using some Hot Spanish Paprika. That meant chocolate pudding for the finale.

Still 10 degrees cooler than average. Not bad - the power bill should be reasonable.

Salad of lettuces, cucumber, red pepper and red onion with a slice of cheese pizza. I really want another slice of pizza, but I know I'll be miserable tonight if I give into temptation.

Being by myself now I can eat what I want and when I want, but due try to stay on a schedule for me.
I fix waffles, freeze what I don't eat and fix them later usually for supper, along with beef sausages and maybe a egg.
