I'm sharing with you a complete days worth of recipes but the coolest thing is, any one of these could be used as your main dish for dinner! So it could be 3 dinners!!!! I don't know about you but my family's favorite is when we have breakfast for dinner!  If you are looking for some snack ideas take a look here!

Breakfast!

Pancake Skillet

Aunt Edith's Baked Pancake Recipe

This is a dish that I like better than traditional pancakes as it has so many more eggs in it so a TON more protein! My son really needs it so this is perfect! Not to mention, it is quicker and easier than pancakes in my books.

Ingredients:

  • 3 eggs
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (I use 1/4 cup all-purpose and 1/4 cup whole wheat)
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil

 

Directions:

  • In a bowl, beat eggs until very light.
  • Add salt, flour and milk; beat well.
  • Thoroughly rub bottom and sides of a 10 inch cast iron or heavy skillet with coconut oil.
  • Pour batter into the skillet.
  • Bake at 450 for 15 minutes.
  • Reduce heat to 350 and bake for 5 minutes more or until set.
  • Remove pancake from skillet and place on large hot skillet.

Have your family at the table waiting so you can hear the oohs and ahhs! It rises up and get puffy in the oven but deflates rather quickly :-) Serve with fruit, jams or syrup!

 

Lunch!

Chicken Taco Soup

Slow Cooker Chicken Taco Soup Recipe

Ingredients:

  • 1 can of chicken, drained (I usually have leftover chicken from a dinner I throw in instead)
  • 1 can yellow corn, drained
  • 1 can black beans, drained
  • 1 can light  red kidney beans, drained
  • 2 cans Rotel
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1-2 tablespoons cumin (to taste – personally I use 2)
  • 1 package taco seasoning (I use low sodium)
  • 1-2 cans of chicken broth (start with 1 and add more as needed, if you would like more broth)

Directions:

  • Pour all ingredients into the crockpot or large pot. If in a pot let simmer for at least 40 minutes. In the crockpot let it simmer for at least 2 hours but I usually make mine first thing in the morning so I can have some for lunch and then the family may have it at dinner time.  So yummy that I have it for both! :-)
  • Serve with shredded cheddar cheese, corn chips or sour cream.

Dinner!

White Wine Chicken

I will have to take a photo next time I make this :)

Ingredients:

  • Boneless chicken breast (enough for your family)
  • White Wine (your favorite – we use Reisling)
  • 1 lareg can of diced tomatoes
  • Fresh Basil
  • 1 tablespoon of olive oil

Directions:

  • In a cold pan (unless you are serving for guests, you may want to brown the chicken first) place the olive oil in the pan followed by the raw or frozen chicken breast.
  • Add the white wine, you want the wine to fill the pan until it is 1/2 way up the side of the chicken.
  • Take the tomatoes and spoon the tomatoes on top of the pieces of the chicken (I do one large spoon fullon each piece of chicken).
  • Place the lid on the pan and simmer for 30 minutes. 
  • After 30 minutes, take the chicken out
  • Add the remaining tomatoes and juice from the can to the liquic in the pan and reduce.

To Serve:

  • I place tri-colored pasta in the middle of the plate
  • place the chicken breast with the tomatoes on top – on top of the pasta
  • the reduced wine sauce is then placed over the entire plate
  • top it off with fresh basil
  • We also make a baby spinach salad as a side

Can't wait to hear what you think about these recipes! They are some of my family's favorites and could soon become yours too! This will give you a head start on your next menu!

Many Blessings!
