Sometimes you just need to have something that's relatively cheap, simple and easy. That means, a scrambled egg night, and tonight is such a night. Hey, consider it a consolation that eggs have come back into price favor with me. My last batch was $2.70 a dozen, although I went to Ruler today and they were $1.99, but I already had two dozen, so I didn't buy any more. I cooked up some onions and yellow bell pepper. I will add in the egg mixture with some milk and scramble it up. Then I plan to add some cheese. No meat this time, we're just going to have straight up scrambled eggs. On the side we plan to have some toast. We'll likely put ketchup on the eggs. I know that's an area of contention, but we like it. What's going on your dinner table tonight?

I usually have eggs for lunch, but they are also good for dinner. I made turkey burgers for dinner.

If I make eggs, say, on a weekend, it's basically a late breakfast. I rarely eat them for lunch during the week unless I have some leftover from a dinner.

@LadyDuck I like them for a snack. I've never thought about having them for dinner. But heck, why not?

We probably have scrambled eggs for dinner about twice a month at least. It's cheap and easy and of course, tastes good.

Yeah. Scrambled eggs are traditionally a breakfast food, but I don't eat breakfast at breakfast time ever, but do like breakfast food, so sometimes breakfast for dinner is a winning choice.

Ketchup on eggs is one of those things where it's either a solid yes or a solid no and no real in between. lol

I almost talked the family into eating breakfast for dinner, but we decided to go out for Chinese tonight and then get up early tomorrow and go to breakfast. But I almost had them convinced.

I like the extra zing of ketchup. But I think both work. I have sometimes put salsa on eggs.

Hubby got a free dozen eggs with a coupon from Kroger yesterday. I no longer can eat eggs - some sort of intestinal intolerance. It sucks to be me. Eggs are a good source of protein and I liked them.
