I think tonight is a “breakfast for dinner “ night. Maybe I’m lazy, but it’s so easy to do.

Sounds delicious, unfortunately I am the only one in the house who will eat pumpkin. Will this work if I sub apple sauce for the pumpkin? My husband is the same way when he is tired and cranky, he doesn't care what time of the day it is he just wants breakfast. It is his favorite meal and the smell of french toast, baked oatmeal, omelets, or especially bacon just makes him feel good. You've got to love a man who is so easy to please after such a hard day!

Nancy, I can't believe you don't like biscuits. Learned something new about you. Stacy, it really is simple to make. Another one of those dishes that I just wing. I typed up this basic outline for you. I made my regular country biscuits using buttermilk instead of cream. And last nights gravy also included some leftover chicken gravy, which I think made the dish even better. Home Cookin Chapter: Recipes From Thibeault's Table ============= Basic Outline for Sausage Gravy. I never measure any of the ingredients. Good Quality Sausage oil garlic Cream/milk salt, pepper flour fresh sage Remove sausage from casings and saute in oil. Break the sausage up into smaller pieces. When Sausage is brown add minced garlic. Cook for one minute. Add 1 to two tablespoons of flour. Cook for 3 or 4 minutes. Add cream and or milk. Season with salt, lots of fresh ground pepper and minced sage. Simmer for 10 or 15 minutes to meld the flavours. Serve over homemade buttermilk biscuits. Note: If you have any leftover chicken, turkey or pork gravy add it to the sausage gravy. ================ Edited/November 2005 2 cups of flour 1 Tablespoon of baking powder 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/2 cup shortening, lard, crisco or butter (I use butter) 1 cup of milk (cream) or buttermilk if using buttermilk add 1/2 teaspoon baking soda) Mix the flour with the baking powder, and salt. Cut in shortening until it resembles coarse meal. Stir milk or cream in to flour mixture. Mix quickly with fork until dough comes together. Using hands gently pat the ingredients together. Do not over handle. Pat out to about 1/2 to 3/4 inch thick on a lightly floured board. Cut with biscuit cutters and place on a parchment paper lined cookie sheet and bake for approximately 12 to 15 minutes at 450Â°F. If making cheese biscuits add the mustard and cayenne to the dry ingredients and add the cheese after the shortening has been cut into the flour. (Note: to cut in shortening either use a pastry blender or put the dry ingredients along with the shortening in a food processor and pulse until the fat is the size of little peas. Do not over process. Pour the mixture into a bowl and add the liquid stirring with a fork.) (Options: For cheese biscuits, add cayenne pepper, dry mustard and some shredded cheddar cheese) or add some fried ham and green onions with the cheese) Option for using Blue Cheese(s): Add chopped green onion and Gloucestershire cheese or another type of blue cheese. And black pepper to taste.

It's just food, food, food all day! For breakfast, we always have an egg and sausage casserole, a jazzed up hashbrown casserole, ham biscuits and garlic cheese grits (with jalapenos -- Yum!) Fruit will be something very simple like cantaloupe wedges or fresh pineapple. I may or may not get around to making muffins or French toast fingers since sweets aren't a high priority with my crew, particularly early in the day. As some leave to go to 'the other' family's house, and others wander in for the first time, we sort of gradually segue into the brunch phase. I'll add their favorite Cajun crab spread with toasted garlic rounds and a dip or two to the buffet. Once the biscuits are gone, we'll bake some rolls for the ham. I make a super-spicy mustard sauce that my children adore and an herb-flavored mayonnaise so everybody can put together mini-sandwiches. There's always some sort of seafood -- usually poached shrimp with cocktail sauce since it's so easy to do ahead -- and a couple of salads (broccoli and pasta are the faves). Oh, and Bloody Marys to help the cook forget how bad her feet are hurting at this point... By the time everybody who had to leave has returned and we've all worked up a little bit of an appetite again, it's usually 7:30 or so. Our dinner menu varies a little, but this year we'll have Boston Clam Chowder as a starter. (Gift from a dear friend who feels sooo sorry for her poor, deprived Southern pal who didn't grow up eating this. lol) Spinach salad with poppy seed dressing. Beef tenderloin, if I can afford it. If many extras are going to turn up, it will be prime rib instead. A green vegetable TBD, and a potato gratin. Dessert will be Italian cheesecake with a strawberry/Grand Marnier topping -- not that anybody will have room for it, but you have to have one, right?

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.

Annie,

Leftover brussels sprouts chopped up, made into an omelette, topped with “sweet street sauce”, which is basically mayo, honey, salt and pepper.

Fantastic! But not tonight. No leftover brussels sprouts .

Hash browns, eggs, bacon, and some quick Aunt Jemima pancakes. Yes, I know they’re not homemade, but the syrup will be. I have homemade fruit syrup made from our blackcurrants this year. Hubby will have maple syrup, but the daughter and I love the fruit syrup.

Makes sense. Pancakes always make me sleepy anyway. But what I really love is leftover dinner for breakfast. Cold pizza is my personal breakfast of champions.

Ha! I have breakfast food for "dinner" every day! As a night minion, when I get home from work at 5:30 AM, I always make breakfast for me and SO. Its fast,easy, delicious, and heavy so it makes me sleep better. My "breakfast" today was some "Mardi Gras" chicken wings from Publix and a salad. The backwards life of a night minion.....

Growing up, breakfast for dinner was always a treat!

DH would probably enjoy breakfast for dinner but I don't really care for many traditional breakfast foods. We used to go out for lunch on Sundays (pre-Covid) and I always steered away from places that had Sunday brunch menus.

I actually prefer breakfast foods at times other than breakfast. I had breakfast for dinner last night. Plain 2 egg omelet sprinkled with Cholulu, sausage patty, toast with strawberry jam and OJ.

We rarely eat a hot breakfast but do have breakfast foods for dinner. Just got home from a stormy drive to see my mother (they've graduated us from the patio to a room through that patio door that is divided across the middle with plastic - but we're inside and more importantly she is warmer!)....

I was thinking those last few rainy and windy miles that I might do a quick waffles, eggs, bacon in a bit. DH offered a fast food stop and that just didn't sound good to me, and he wouldn't have eaten so would still have been hungry, very rarely does he eat fast food....

I only eat breakfast for dinner on a road trip when I'm going to keep driving. Somehow it resets my internal clock and I can't get to sleep. It's too bad, because I love breakfast food.

However, if I'm having a bad day at work, I often have breakfast for lunch and pretend I'm starting over. It actually works!

Microwaved oatmeal and poached eggs works for me when I don’t feel like spending time to cook dinner.

Pancaes, Waffles, Omlettes sound yummy for dinner. After we were married, 1979, husband told me never ever to make breakfast for dinner. That's a small concession to keep such a wonderful person happy.

I will make crêpes for dinner, but seldom for breakfast. I fill the crêpes with salmon, or chicken and mushrooms, and bake them with a velouté sauce. I almost never make dessert crêpes, and I otherwise never make breakfast for dinner. I don't even like breakfast for breakfast that much, but I do like leftover dinner for breakfast.

The closest cross-over dishes I might consider for both breakfast and dinner are quiches and frittata, but I never make them for any meal later than lunch or brunch. I think frittata could be a side dish for dinner, but not a main dish. I've never had or served quiche for dinner, but I like it for brunch.

I seldom eat an evening meal. It was never called dinner, that was at noon. It would be supper. Yes, when I did have supper, it could be anything at all, even fried eggs or pancakes or whatever. I can eat those any time of the day.

I made an Italian Shepherds pie. I'm trying to resist serving fried chicken. There's a GREAT deal on 8 pieces with ALL the fixins for $5, when it's so close to Thanksgiving.☺ Breakfast for dinner will be next week. ☺

When I was a kid, the local Lions Club used to have a yearly fundraiser called a Pancake Dinner. I remember it seeming kind of magical to have pancakes for dinner, eating next to other kids that I never saw outside of school, and seeing their parents, too. It was like another world.

Amylou, you reminded me of how much I enjoyed going out for breakfast with my coworkers (usually at World Famous cafe in Pacific Beach) after our shift - 30++ years ago. (I just googled, looks like they are still in business, Yay!)
