Wonton Quiche Cups
When putting together our weekly meal plans I always like to have a breakfast for dinner night once a week because it's a great way to reduce our grocery budget, since breakfast entrees are typically cheaper. These wonton quiche cups are a fun way to prepare and serve eggs for supper, or we also like to have them for holiday brunches because they're simple to prepare but look … [Read more...]
Pumpkin Spice Baked Oatmeal
So we've had a handful of "brisk" mornings here in San Antonio. And by "brisk," I mean the temp has dropped below 70. Which must mean fall is here because I've seen a number of people out wearing sweatshirts. Or my blood is already starting to thin out some, because it's really not that cool?! While it may feel warm outside still, it's starting to feel like fall as we … [Read more...]
Southwestern Egg In A Basket
We love to make these southwestern style eggs in a basket for breakfast on the weekend or even for a late night snack. They're super easy to make and we almost always have the ingredients on hand. Egg in a basket is usually made with toast and has many other names like egg in a nest and toad in a hole. Equally delicious by any name, switching the bread for a tortilla is a fun … [Read more...]
Low Carb Hash Browns with Summer Squash
A low carb hash brown with summer squash and potatoes - grated and grilled to perfection! It's a simple combination of grated potatoes and summer squash that makes for a delicious, lower carb option for hash browns. It's that time of year. The time of year when I struggle with my morals. Is it dishonest to hide squash in recipes? What if I adopt the "don't ask, don't … [Read more...]
Breakfast Enchiladas
Yet another enchiladas recipe for you. I'm starting to think I need to create a special enchilada section on the site! We just can't seem to get enough enchiladas these days. This is actually one of the first meals I've cooked from start to finish since coming out of the "blechs," mainly because it didn't involve raw meat. I used some ham that I've had in the freezer...and the … [Read more...]

Breakfast for dinner...yes, please! Light and tasty summer dinner...yes, please! Powerful flavors in a simple dish...yes, please! This is actually one of my favorite quiches, that I usually make with ground sausage...but I swapped out the sausage for mushrooms...and the result was amazing! (Find a slew of mushroom recipes and "swapability ideas" on the Mushroom Love … [Read more...]
Scrambled Egg Pockets
Breakfast for dinner serves a wonderful dual purpose. It's cheaper than normal dinners and kids love the change. The scrambled egg pockets have a unique twist to traditional eggs and the ingredients are healthy, so I feel good giving it to my family for dinner. I did learn the hard way to really look at which ingredients I buy. This calls for plain greek yogurt, and the first … [Read more...]

Batch Cooking: Biscuits
Few things in my stretching-the-budget and filling-tummies career have made as big a difference as biscuits. Do you remember how much the canned variety costs? Oh, I dearly love the convenience. But I don’t like paying for it. Especially when I have to get so many cans to feed the seven of us. And that’s where batch cooking homemade biscuits comes in. But here’s the trick. … [Read more...]
