Breakfast for dinner is always a frugal option. And one that I tend to forget about!

My husband makes cutting costs hard because he won’t eat eggs. There are so many good and cheap egg recipes! Darn him, though i do just make some and have him eat something else sometimes:)

I love Breakfast for supper and so does my family! I haven’t tried potatoes with my eggs. I’ll have to try that. Breakfast tacos are one of those things that my daughter likes to make us all for breakfast, so maybe she would enjoy doing that for her supper night soon. BTW, I am hosting a giveaway this week to celebrate my 1st blog birthday. Come by and enter!

I’ve been known to serve breakfast for dinner before and to make a potato omelette, but I had never thought to serve it with fruit, what a wonderful fresh idea. I’m excited to try it, thank you!

We like making these for a quick and inexpensive gluten-free meal. We usually add whatever veggies we have on hand.
