My favorite meal of the entire week is breakfast on Saturday morning. I?m (usually) not in a hurry, I have my family, and it?s something more substantial than a cup of yogurt on my way out the door. In fact, I like it so much that once in a while, I try to recreate that feeling in the evenings during the week by having breakfast for dinner. It?s a rare treat that reminds me of being a kid.
Whether you haven?t been to the store and are short on typical dinner ingredients, are pressed for time, or want to do something special for your family, there?s no reason not to have breakfast for dinner. In fact, entire diets have been based on the idea of changing the direction of your meals?breakfast for dinner and dinner for breakfast. We?re not suggesting you start a diet based around pancakes, but we do suggest keeping your weekly meal plan on its toes so no one gets bored.
With breakfast for dinner on Best Life, the bonus is a few more calories than you would have gotten in the morning! If you?re trying to lose weight, you don?t want to exceed 550 calories, 750 milligrams sodium, 6 grams of saturated fat for the entire meal?that?s entree, sides, starches, and so on. (Of course, you?ll have to stick to your regular calorie allotment at breakfast.) You?ll be full, satisfied, and not to mention happy with a comfort food meal like this.
What does breakfast look like when it?s for dinner and you?re trying to watch the calories? Let us show you the way!

??Homemade Sausage Patties: Simply use lean ground pork (or turkey) and mix with your choice of spices and seasonings like thyme, sage, crushed red pepper flakes, salt and pepper, and even fresh onion and garlic. Form into patties and brown in a warm skillet.

Breakfast for Dinner 3: Feel at Home
??Basic Breakfast Burrito: Use 2 eggs per person and your choice of vegetables, such as fresh spinach leaves, red bell peppers, diced tomatoes, lean ham and reduced-fat shredded cheese. Scramble all of this together and roll into a whole-grain tortilla or serve with leftover mashed sweet potatoes (see recipe below), which you can warm or shape into patties and heat on a lightly oiled griddle.
??Baked Mashed Sweet Potato with Orange and Pecans
??Avocado Slices: Just add an ounce of avocado slices to your plate to top the sweet potatoes or the burrito for a heart-healthy fat that?s satiating and offers a light, creamy flavor.
