Frittata With Leftovers
I was pleased with how last night's supper turned out.
First, I browned together in a large skillet:
1 1/4 lb ground turkey
1 onion
1/2 green pepper
2 T. coconut oil
salt and pepper, or other seasonings, to taste
(I used Penzey's Northwoods Seasoning , my lastest go-to spice)
When that was browned, I added
1 c. leftover cooked corn
Leftover French fries and steak fries from Sunday night's dinner out, cut up (probably about the equivalent of 2 cooked potatoes)
1 c. shredded cheese
When that was all mixed together, I added 10 eggs, well blended. I made sure everything was smooshed under the egg mixture, and baked it for about 1/2 hour at 350.
I could have mostly cooked it on top of the stove, and then put it in the oven for about 10 minutes to set. But, I had to leave the house for a little while, and I wanted it to cook while I was gone. We ate it with salsa on top.
This can be a very versatile recipe, depending on what type of leftover vegetables or meats you might want to use up.

Peanut Butter Breakfast Cake With Leftover Oatmeal
My kids are not big oatmeal fans, but I feel like we should have it at least once a week, especially since it's so nutritious and cheap. I would love to be able to have it more often. I was delighted when I came across this recipe for using leftover oatmeal. The author calls them 'bars', but I would call them cake. (Of course, if I called them bars, I could cross post this to Hath Bars :) ).
Peanut Butter Cake With Leftover Oatmeal
2 c. leftover oatmeal
1/2 c. butter or coconut oil, softened
1 c. sweetener (or 1/2 c. honey, just watch that it doesn't get the batter too moist)
1 egg
1 c. whole grain flour
1/2 t. baking soda
1/2 c. peanut butter
1 t. vanilla
Cream butter, sweetener and eggs in a bowl. Add oatmeal and other ingredients. Mix well. Spread into a greased 9 x 13 pan. Bake at 350 for about 25 minutes. Cool and cut.
This can also be served hot in bowls with milk on top.
The kids all seemed to like this. I think I might even add this to our weekly breakfast plan.
