25 Budget Recipes For Breakfast
Today it’s all about making some budget recipes for breakfast. I’m really trying to show the world different recipes that are very inexpensive to make from scratch. Do you love to eat at home, or is it just me?
Maybe it’s because when I worked crazy hours I had to get take out so much, I don’t know. I’m not saying Mark and I don’t ever eat out, but I really would rather eat at home where I know the kitchen is clean and the food is fresh. Plus, it’s so much cheaper.

Hey Linda,
A bunch of these could easily be used for any meal, not just breakfast. Thanks for posting these. I will have to try some of them soon.
Hi Harry, I agree, Mark and I eat whatever sounds good! Thank you, Linda
Am I missing something? I didn’t find a recipe for the picture at the top of this.
HI Carol, oh my gosh, I’m sorry. I can’t use other bloggers pictures (in that spot) so I showed my readers what I fix for my family. My wheat bread with a lather of avocado topped with a tomato slice from the garden along with fresh lettuce I just picked. I do not do dairy but my husband does. You can top it with an egg or not. It’s just a simple breakfast or lunch we have at our house. Linda
Thank you for featuring my French toast These recipes look fantastic, with some new ideas to try out for breakfast.
Hi Lou, I’m actually honored to be able to share it. Thanks for stopping by, Linda
I have been making the 2 ingredient Pumpkin Muffins for years now. Although, I don’t top them with anything AND I add additional pumpkin pie spice to the mixture. They are the moistest muffins on earth!! I generally only make them in the fall, though because that is when I crave pumpkin!
Hi Leanne, oh I hear you on the pumpkin muffins. Is that the cake mix one? Linda
