I love breakfast for dinner. Since our household is comprised mostly of my husband and myself (sometimes a stepson), I don't like dinner to be a chore. I don't think it should take an hour and 45 minutes to prepare a meal for two. I am not cheerleading for a 30 minute lifestyle, I just hate spending an hour on dinner that will be gone in less than 30 minutes. Yet, I do.
I work nights 7 on, 7 off and I go to school in the morning so there are nights when I am only willing to spend 15 minutes cooking. Impossible you say. What can you cook in 15 minutes? Breakfast tacos baby. Dear husband and I are quite happy eating breakfast for dinner. Besides, sometimes his dinner is my breakfast!
Tonight we made a sausage potato popover pie. I am not posting the recipe yet, because I don't have it handy, but I'll tell the story. I am in my 7 on cycle and sleep during the day. I made a very specific grocery list and debated the other morning whether or not I should ask DH to go shopping for me. During our brief morning time together he told me he was going shopping that day so I gave him the list. Wouldn't you be surprised to know he bought everything on that list just exactly right! (I think I'll start teaching him to cook. Wait, that means I'll have to clean?) So, when he got home from work tonight I was already cooking and asked him to pitch when. I just needed him to fry the potatoes while I mixed the batter and grated the cheese. He grabbed a beer and helped out. This made cooking so fun because I didn't have to multitask and burn something or put something on hold while I was grating cheese.
The result? It was delicious and DH said this was definitely on the reorder list. It was delicious and simple and if he helps, I will make it again.
