Mini Frittatas

What a yummy and easy breakfast! And a GREAT way for your kids to get involved in helping out! :)

I'm also thinking this would be a good breakfast after having turkey all day yesterday!  ;)

I wasn't sure if these would turn out in my stone or majorly stick...  But I sprayed it really good, so was hoping it wouldn't stick, and they didn't!  ;)

Again, this is something really easy that either your kids (if old enough) could just about do by themselves, or you can have them help you.  I think having your kids help you in the kitchen is a great way to not only get them involved, but usually kids like to eat what they have made or helped make..  It also helps teach them what they are eating and how healthy it is, etc...  If they are younger, you can talk about where the eggs come from, the milk, etc...

My kids LOVE breaking eggs...  I don't always let them, or like them too.. but that's another story.. ;)

Here are the eggs scrambled with a bit of milk added...

Pour it into your muffin pan...

Add whatever goodies you want to it.  You can add ham, or mushrooms, just make sure whatever you add is chopped small.  I only added about a tablespoon of green peppers and onions to each muffin cup.  Anymore and it would be to full.

Then I put a small amount of cheese on top.

Here they are ready to go in the oven! ;)

And they are done!  Yummo!!!!

I served 2 eggs per kid and a nice big breakfast cookie!  Talk about a packed and ready to tackle the world breakfast!  ;)

Here's a plate for my hubs!  ;)

Mini Frittatas

6 eggs

1/4-1/2 cup milk

seasoning (only if you want)

anything else you would want in your frittatas:

cheese, green pepper, onions, sausage, mushrooms, etc...

Scramble eggs in a bowl and pour in milk.  Grease a muffin pan very well.  Pour in your egg mixture in muffin pan.  I filled up 12 muffin cups with the egg mixture, then I put a tablespoon of green pepper/onion in each cup.  Then put a pinch of shredded cheese on top.  Place in 350 degree oven and bake for 20-30 minutes.  A knife inserted in middle will come out clean if it's done.

Serve with breakfast cookies, or toast, or whatever else you want to serve it with!  ;)

My kids GOBBLED these down, and LOVED that fact that I gave them a COOKIE with their eggs! (these cookies had NO sugar in them...)

Easy Mac and Cheese Dinner

Yes, I am on a mac and cheese kick! It's easy and fast... Ok, maybe not the most healthy, but I got the whole wheat noodles, so that makes it somewhat healthy, right? And again, I'm gonna say it again, sometimes you need something fast and easy! ;)

For this, I just added a few extra things to make it more, um, filling I guess you could say! ;)

Most of these things you will have on hand... And if you don't have one of something, don't add it, it's ok! It will still turn out!


Ok, I kinda take that back, if you don't have the milk to make the mac and cheese, then that might be a fail! Know what I mean? ;)


(ok, maybe I stop thinking and just start writing out the recipe?)


Make the mac and cheese like it says on the box

Yummy, cheese fried onions!! :) LOVE Aldi's!!! :)

Then regular too!!! :)

No, I didn't open the can upside down! I should get some money from Del Monte!!! heeheee!!! I just added some Italian seasoning to the tomatoes. I am cheap, so I just add my own spices instead of buying the Italian kind! ;)

There is the mac and cheese ready to go....

Add 1 pound ground beef, 1 small onion

I can diced tomatoes with the Italian seasoning

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Stir it all up!

Add 1/2 cup french fried onions, I added the cheese ones first....

Put it in an 8x8 baking dish, cover and bake for 30 minutes


When done, sprinkle regular french fried onions over the top and serve! YUMMY!!!!!!! :)

Easy Mac and Cheese Dinner

2 boxes Mac and Cheese (and ingredients to make it)
1 pound ground beef (or turkey) browned and drained
1 small red onion
1 can diced tomatoes with Italian Seasoning (about 1-2 teaspoons)
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
About 1 cup french fried onions (can be cheese or regular or both!), divided

Make mac and cheese according to the box. When done, add the ground beef, onion, diced tomatoes, cheddar cheese and 1/2 cup french fried onions. Mix all together, place into an 8x8 backing dish. Cover with foil and bake at 350degrees for 30 minutes, or until heated through. Sprinkle with the remaining french fried onions and serve!

*You don't have to add that much meat, or omit it if you want.
You don't need to use 1 cup shredded cheese, you can add half that, or add a different kind of cheese.
Also, I used cheddar friend onions inside the casserole and sprinkled regular ones over the top when done baking.
I served this with green beans. It was a HIT!!! We all loved it!! If you double this, you can place half of it in a freezer safe container and reheat when needed! :)
