Can you go wrong with breakfast for dinner?

I smell bacon!

Let's eat!

Typical teen, talking on the phone...



Hashbrown casserole before... and after. Yum.



Hashbrown Casserole


2 lb. bag frozen hash browns, thawed


½ c. melted butter


½ tsp. salt & pepper


½ c. finely chopped onion


1 can of cream of chicken soup


1 pint sour cream


2 cups grated cheddar cheese



Mix all ingredients together and place in greased 9 x 13 dish.



Topping:


2 cups corn flakes, crushed, and then mix with ¼ c. melted butter. Spread over top of potato mixture.



Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes, uncovered.




Apple Pecan Pancakes



Note: The base recipe makes yummy pancakes. We are ready to experiment with other add-ins… like Chocolate Chips!



1 cup all purpose flour


1 cup whole wheat flour


1 tbsp brown sugar


2 tsp baking powder


1 tsp salt


2 eggs beaten (you can substitute egg whites if you’d like)


2 cups milk (low fat, skim, whole, it’s all good in this recipe)


2 tbsp canola (we used vegetable oil)


1 large apple, chopped into small pieces


½ cup chopped pecans



Mix first five, dry ingredients thoroughly.


Add eggs, milk, and oil to dry and mix until moistened.


Fold in apples and pecans.



Pour batter in ¼ cup increments onto hot skillet.


If you use a ¼ cup you will get at least 16 pancakes from this recipe.
