Stuffing Chicken

I am attempting to find what works best for our family, as far as planning our meals go.  Craig and I really want to minimize the amount of eating out we do in 2014.  In fact, we challenged ourselves to not eat out in January, and we are still going strong.  (With the exception that we had money that we had to use by January 31st at the country club, and I had a birthday celebration with friends that I couldnt miss out on!)

We also want to reduce the amount of food that we waste at our house.  So, although I still love freezer cooking and plan to still do it some.  I am attempting the plan a menu for once a week and shop once a week. I figure if we buy less, we will use what we buy and therefore waste less.  We will see.

So far it is going great. I feel organized.  I am planning meals based on what I already have in the pantry/freezer and what is on sale (mainly at Sprouts and Uptown Market in Edmond).

This recipe I had pinned on Pinterest.  I liked that it had 4 ingredients, most of which I already had.  I did subsitute chicken thighs for the chicken breasts because that is what was on sale at Sprouts this week. And I baked the chicken instead of doing it in the crock pot.  Just worked out better for our schedule.

Anyway, its really yummy.  Craig loved it and suggested next time doing it with turkey breasts.. he said "then it would be his favorite meal ever.."  So there you go.

I LOVE having breakfast foods for dinner, this is one of our family's favorites.  Jackson calls it Egg Pie...  So you can choose what you like best!

What you Need:

Pie Shell
1/2 cup mayo
2 TBSP flour
2 beaten eggs
1/2 cup milk
6 oz shredded swiss cheese
1/3 cup finely chopped onions (we like green onions!)
1 TBSP parsley
1/2 tsp paprika
1/8 tsp red pepper

Then choose your main ingredient.. anything you want.  It can be a cup of different meats or veggies.  Whatever you have in your fridge.

Stir everything together well, and put in the pie shell.

Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes or until the eggs are cooked through!

YUM!
