Grilled Inside Out Cheeseburgers

by Erin, The $5 Dinner Mom on April 14, 2010

How about the ooey-gooey cheese-ness of your favorite burger coming from INSIDE the burger?!?
Yes, please!
And for those watching calories…serve it on a Sandwich Thin…I liked it better than the bulky buns!!!
(And one more thing I like about the Sandwich Thins…they freeze really well. That, and they are just 100 calories per thin!)
Ingredients
1.4 lb. ground [...]

Walnut French Toast

by Erin, The $5 Dinner Mom on February 10, 2010

I started to make this meal in the 9×13 baking dish, but them switched to the smaller baking dish because I didn’t want there to be any leftovers…and I know that with a 9×13, we’d have lots of leftovers.  And from my past experience, baked french toast meals and egg casserole meals just taste better [...]

Fruit Bowl Centerpiece

by Erin, The $5 Dinner Mom on January 20, 2009

Last week a bowl of fruit inadvertently ended up on my dinner table. It’s been lurking around there ever since. I don’t really have a “winter” centerpiece that I use. Christmas centerpiece has been put away and I just can’t seem to get my spring stuff out yet!
So the bowl of fruit it will be!

by Erin, The $5 Dinner Mom on January 18, 2009

Tonight’s meal was supposed to be pulled pork sandwiches. But, since I did not make the pork roast the other night, I don’t have any leftover pork to make pulled pork sandwiches. So I went scrounging around in my freezer and came up with this meal. Colorful and well balanced!

Ingredients
3 pork chops ($2.12)
2 oranges ($.30)
2 [...]

Pumpkin Waffles

by Erin, The $5 Dinner Mom on October 21, 2008

I was so unprepared for this dinner. Not enough eggs, so we didn’t have eggs. Not enough white flour, so I used all whole wheat flour (which makes “thick” waffles)! Not that that’s bad, I like to mix white and whole wheat flours! To the grocery store I go…tomorrow!
A simple dinner after a busy day! [...]
