In answer to this question, and in continuing our theme on breakfast ideas, we'd like to suggest we have breakfast for dinner. While it wasn't something we did all the time, it was a fun change from the usual pattern of meals and it was a reasonable solution to how to deal with putting dinner on the table when there's was next to nothing to fix.
Waffles and pancakes were always popular. We'd up the nutrition factor a bit by topping them with nut butter (peanut or almond) along with the syrup. And then there was the omelete bar. We'd dice or chop up whatever we had in the fridge--tomato, green onion, ham, even leftover cooked broccoli, cauliflower, spinach, etc. If we were lucky and had any cheese around, we'd shred it and add that to the assortment of add-ins as well. Then there's those breakfast burritos we talked about yesterday if we wanted a new twist to an old theme.One thing we were always sure to do, no matter how plain and simple the dinner, we always set a full table--even with candles. We might have been having breakfast for dinner, but we still wanted everyone to know how special they were and that just having dinner with them was the highlight of the day. That's the point, isn't it? This lovely tradition is meant to be based on those at the table, not what's on the table.
Have you had breakfast for dinner? What did you serve and how did your family feel about this? Please share your thoughts--we love hearing from you. And until next time, here's to family dinner made easy, even if it's breakfast!
