Tonights dinner--got leftovers?

Made homemade sloppy joes the other night and had plenty to freeze.

Tonights dinner was Biscuit Bake!

Take your homemade sloppy joes (about two cups)
one can Ranch Style Beans
Add them to 9X9 nonstick pan
Top with 1 cup grated sharp cheddar
They use flaky biscuits (any brand will do) pull them apart and place over the meat,bean and cheese mixture.
Bake at 400 for about 20 min and then set oven to 350 for another 10 until biscuits look very done.

Not the gourmet for dinner

Not the gourmet for dinner tonight. Husband worked late, food got cold and boys were hungry, not hungary (Michelle) So breakfast I served. Warm at one time scrambled eggs, half wheat half white pancakes with cinnamon sugar and vanilla, and biscuits with bacon. You can pile almost anything on a rectangular griddle and get it all done in a hurry. The problem is storage in my kitchen and that won't fit in any cabinet I have.

Next on the food agenda is to find my crepe maker my grandma gave me. She was Swedish and could really cook. I learned a lot from her. I remembered the hidden crepe maker in the closet watching one of my favorite shows "The Great Food Truck Race" on Sunday nights. They feature a food truck that makes crepes. If you have any recipes for crepes I would love to see them!
