Some days, making dinner bites. Especially days when the baby is sick and wants to be held and won't let me put him down to. save. my. life. On those kinds of days, when 5:00 rolls around and people start asking about dinner, I make an executive decision and prepare Brinner. Which is Breakfast foods for Dinner. Sometimes it's pancakes. Sometimes waffles. Some days we eat eggs + toast and hash browns [yum!]. But it's always delicious, fast and easy. Which is the best kind of dinner after all, no?
Does your family ever eat Brinner?

Sometimes pancakes just taste better at night. We have Brinner from time to time and love it!
Yes! We make Chilaquiles. They are scrambled eggs, green and red salsa, and cheese with pan fried tortilla strips on top. Yum!!
i would eat brinner ever single night if my meat and potatoes husband would let us. i was raised on a rotating dinner schedule of scrambled eggs and toast, pancakes, oatmeal and toast, and, occaisionally, spagetti. a dinner of oatmeal and brown sugar and toast for dipping? ultimate comfort food.
LUUUUUUUUUV brinner. love the name you have made. usually at our house it's french toast or german pancakes or swedish pancakes. yummy.
Yes! French toast is my fav. :)
We have brinner at least once a week. I grew up on it and my kids love it but my husband??? not so much. He's never impressed because it's too light for his meat and potatoes appetite. Now if we did the pancakes PLUS the eggs, sausage, and hash browns then he would be happy but in my opinion that's just too much!
Yep, we are huge fans over here. I think it sometimes tastes better at night because I usually don't feel like those big heavy breakfasts first thing in the morning.
Oh Yeh! We usually only have cereal and toast for breakfast, so brinner works here because it's considered a treat when we have waffles or pancakes.
uh yeah probably a little too much...
Sometimes I wish we could do it every night. You have more time to prepare and enjoy than in the morning.
I'm not a big breakfast eater in the morning, so I like to do it for dinner once in a while. Our family's favorite is french toast.
Every Sunday we have pancakes for dinner. And I remember your divine Swedish Pancakes.. which I really want your recipe. We had them on a Sunday at your home once.. and then I broke your light. Remember that? LOL! I love love love brinner!
I so wish my husband would go for this. He doesn't like the idea AT ALL. I, on the other hand, grew up in a house that used this trick all the time. He's Welsh - that's the only thing I can think of...I guess Brits just don't get it. sigh.
We eat brinner ALL the time. Really. Probobly a few times a week.
My boys LOVE "brinner" Lately they beg for hootnanny pancakes. Recipe here http://sisterscafe.blogspot.com/2009/02/hootanany-pancake.html
So easy and always a hit!!
Oh yes, we eat brinner at least once a week. The kids would love to eat pancakes every night! By the way, love your pictures..its amazing to me how you can make pancakes look sooooo inviting..lol.
brinner is the best kind of meal anytime.
Brinner is often on our menu :)
At least once a week. I think it my favorite night. I'm on a stuffed french toast kick right now too... yum.
haha, at least once a week :)
Your pancakes look great, I think I know what we are having for dinner tonight! ;)
Thanks for keepin' it real!!!!
Your blog always inspires me! Love ya!
Yup. And some days, like today, after we spent almost 6 hours completely recleaning the new house (after a week of painting and getting the rugs cleaned) we have ice cream sundaes from the shoppe on the way home. :) (I did make them scrambled eggs for snack later).
oh my goodness...I am cracking up reading this. Of COURSE we have "brinner"! I'd lose my mind some days if it wasn't for brinner!!
Mmmmmmmm....paaaancaaaaakes.........
Just did last night. We had french toast and it was fabulous. Who has time in the morning to make breakfast anyway??
I love what you call it! During the summer we seem to have more brinners that any other time of the year!
