Breakfast for Dinner?
I am making French toast and turkey bacon for dinner tonight. The kids are looking forward to it.. but I am trying to figure out a way to sneak in some veggies? I always serve veggies with dinner because they don't eat them with breakfast and I KNOW my husband isn't making them eat them with lunch.
I know we can go a day without it.. but if there is some veggie that might go 'okay' with breakfast for dinner I would like to incorporate it.
Any thoughts??

Re: Breakfast for Dinner?
This recipe uses the pre-bagged shredded poatoes but I would shred my own and use whatever veggies I have in the fridge. 
Garden Veggie Hash Browns
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/3 cup chopped red onion
1 medium zucchini, coarsely chopped
8 stalks asparagus, cut into 1 ½ inch pieces
1/2 cup chopped red bell pepper
1 1/2 cups small broccoli florets
1 package Simply Potatoes Shredded Southwest Style Hash Browns
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in 12-inch nonstick skillet. Add onion. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, 2 to 3 minutes. Add zucchini, asparagus, red pepper and broccoli. Continue cooking 2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are crisp tender.
2. Add 1 tablespoon oil and Simply Potatoes to skillet. Spread Simply Potatoes and vegetables in an even layer; press down lightly with spatula. Sprinkle with salt and garlic powder. Cook 6 to 7 minutes or until golden brown on the bottom. Drizzle with remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Turn Simply Potatoes over with spatula. Continue cooking 6 to 8 minutes or until Simply Potatoes are golden brown and tender, turning again if necessary.

Re: Breakfast for Dinner?
You guys are AWESOME!
I actually kind of combined some ideas and made a sweet potato veggie mix. They love it.
I am DYING to try the mini Frittatas! I promised the boys breakfast for dinner at least 2x a month.. so that's gonna be the main course next time up!!
