This Week’s Secret To Success
The “Mix and Match Strategy” answers the question of what to make for dinner this week with flexibility!
- Since Menu 1 & Breakfast are both Mexican-inspired, they give you some flexibility with using (or reusing) side dishes.
- If you have leftover rice, add it to your breakfast burritos in place of hash browns so there’s no waste this week!
- Additionally, leftover Charro Beans can be added to or served with breakfast burritos for a little extra protein.
- Don’t need a snack? The guacamole is perfect with Baked Tacos and the Breakfast Burritos.
Swaps For Your Family
- Instead of egg salad, your family might be more excited about Chicken Salad. Try my newest Green Chile Chicken Salad, traditional Apple, Cranberry Chicken Salad or the hearty Lemon Chicken Salad that my menfolk devour!
Getting The Most From This Menu
- Need more dinner ideas (instead of breakfast)? Make the Breakfast Burritos for supper instead. Use any of the tips above for the rice, beans and/or guacamole.
- Need a different side? Make our go-to Green Salad with Creamy Mayo Vinaigrette.
- Serve the Egg Salad and the Soup on separate nights. Add chips and fruit to egg salad sandwiches. Serve Creole Sausage Balls along with the soup & crackers!
Go-To Kitchen Essentials
Having the right tools makes your time in the kitchen SO MUCH EASIER & ENJOYABLE.
