There is nothing like a cast iron skillet. I know I have mentioned this before but you should get one if you don’t have one. Use it if you have one and it just sits at the bottom of the pile. There are so many things you can make with it. I use mine for burgers, steaks, last night I used it for pork chops. It goes from the stove top to the oven with ease plus it is naturally nonstick.

I also use it for frittatas and this skillet breakfast meal is fantastic. No I am not getting paid to promote cast irons, though I should get a little kick back. But I know once you give it a try you will try to find ways to use yours too.

This morning is a little breezy and has a chill in the air after a rainy Saturday. A breakfast skillet would be a great way to start your day. Use this as a starting point, no need to go buy everything I have here, use what you have on hand. Come up with your own breakfast skillet.
