Breakfast. It's What's For Dinner

My family eats pancakes and eggs for dinner waaaaay more often than they do for breakfast. I don’t so much love cooking in the morning. I’m not really a morning person. I’m a morning crab. Mostly, they fend for themselves at breakfast with cereal and fruit and juice and I feel no guilt over it. Those are healthy things and they all make it to lunch without starving to death. It’s all good. I did recently formulate this recipe for
Overnight Oatmeal
though that should provide some variety without requiring that I be perky before 8:00 a.m.

I’m in a beginning-of-the-school-year-organized mood right now. Today I made the menu and grocery lists for five weeks. FIVE. I filled in every Monday-Saturday leaving Sundays blank because it’s embarrassing to write in “fend for yourselves” and pin it to the fridge for all the world to see. Besides, more often than not, that’s pancake night and if I write it in, I’ll ruin the happy look on everyone’s faces when they realize that’s what we’re having.

What are your lazy-night meals?

  1. Yum, pancakes sound good right about now!

    I love the mini pizzas I made last night. Simple, easy, tasty. Great for lazy nights. I also love a good salad, or a sandwich and soup.

  3. FIVE weeks! My jaw is floored right now. Me? I have a hard enough time actually sticking to one weeks worth of menu planning.

  4. You certainly are organized! My new family had a lot of adjusting to do, being that the new Mum was from America. When I run out of ideas for dinner (I should call it 'tea') I usually make omelets.

  8. We eat BFD (breakfast for dinner) all the time around here! It's the most important meal any time of day in my book. Thanks for your visit to my blog...

  9. Sunday nights are breakfasts all the time at our house. We are cereal people too.

    If I had five weeks worth of menus, it would be my permanent list forever.

    Thanks for stopping by my photo a day from Teachinforth!

  11. I love that there are others out there who are NOT morning people, who can admit and embrace it! Breakfast food for dinner is appreciated so much more than it is for breakfast.... unless "breakfast" happens to occur at 11:00 am at an IHOP. (:
