This post is part of a series for 2016 on real meals served to my family of 7 that conserve energy and time while preserving nutrients. This also serves the secondary purpose of eating out fewer times, providing both nutritional and fiscal benefits.
Farmhouse Scramble
Sausage patties
Bacon
Refried potatoes
Sorry, no photos today!
Sautéed in butter: torn leftover turkey shreds, sliced baby bella mushrooms, minced spring onion and minced celery. Poured over: a dozen eggs, scrambled with salt and a bit of half and half. These were stirred over medium lowish heat until set, as a casserole. I stirred frequently, so the curd was very small. You could also pour the eggs over the veggies in a casserole and bake, topped with cheese, like a frittata.
Fried sausage patties and bacon in a cast iron skillet. Used reserved fat to refry chunks of potato that I pressure cooked to save time. Season potatoes with salt and garlic powder.
Serve immediately with cold milk. I would have liked a fruit salad or citrus wedges alongside. Yogurt and berries would also make a nice addition, as would lemonade or iced tea.
Decent hearty meal, and we avoided eating out, which would surely have happened otherwise because my chickens weren’t thawed sufficiently in time for dinner.
