When looking for a quick, budget-friendly solution for dinner, think breakfast. Breakfast for dinner, often referred to as brinner, is a go-to choice for its use of inexpensive ingredients that can usually be found within steps of the kitchen table. Plus, kids love changing up the nightly routine with a tasty breakfast before bedtime. Next time you’re stuck without an idea for dinner, skip the take out and jump ahead to breakfast. Here are two good reasons to whip up a delicious and affordable alternative to dinner.
1. Easy Ingredients
There is no need to write up a grocery list for a tasty breakfast dish when you already have everything you need. The beauty of breakfast is that it can be created from ingredients that are right at your fingertips. Eggs, veggies and a few other staple foods are often all that’s necessary to put together a well-rounded meal that will keep everyone full and happy. And if you are missing something, you just need a quick run to the store to pick up a couple cheap ingredients that can easily be used for more than one meal.
2. Endless Options
With the few basic ingredients that you most likely have in your kitchen comes an endless variety of breakfast goodness. A little bit of creativity can create anything from frittatas to casseroles. It’s also easy to grab the leftovers sitting in the fridge for added variety to whatever breakfast dish lands on the menu for the evening. Fill up extra tortillas with eggs, bacon and avocado for a filling breakfast taco; take the extra meat from last night’s dinner to chop up and throw into scrambled eggs; or, use up the cheese in your fridge to add flavor to a delicious breakfast casserole. There’s just no end to the amount of breakfast options available with the breakfast staples you have on hand.
