Easy Meal Idea: Breakfast for Dinner




One really easy way to "make" money as a work-at-home mom is to simply not spend it. I used to spend SO MUCH MONEY on food delivery because I was overwhelmed. Long days of homeschooling and working from home made making dinner the last thing I wanted to do. So I'd just order pizza, hot dogs, burgers, Indian food- anything to not step foot in the kitchen when I was exhausted.


Thankfully, things have gotten easier as my kids have gotten older, but there are still days when dinner feels like an impossible chore. What should I make? They're tired of tacos. We had pasta last night. Breakfast for dinner to the rescue!


Breakfast for dinner is really fun for kids and super easy to make. It can be as simple as oatmeal and eggs or as elaborate as waffles, sausage, eggs, fruit, with Nutella and maple syrup.


Don't overcomplicate it. Breakfast sandwiches on english muffins with eggs and cheese is a full meal. Throw a little fruit on the side to make it a balanced dinner. Toast and eggs. Frozen pancakes, cheese cubes, a sliced apple, and turkey slices fried up a bit on a pan- you made dinner! Crepes are easier to make than they seem (just a thin pancake batter).


More ideas:


  • Breakfast burritos

  • Cheesy grits bowl

  • Omelettes

  • Hash browns & eggs

  • Crepe roll ups with chocolate and strawberries (kind of a dessert, but with eggs...it's a breakfast)

  • French toast

  • Waffles


Make it as complicated or simple as you have the energy for. Either way, your family will love it.


Great jobs taking care of your kids. You're a great mom!
