CAROLYN'S BREAKFAST SKILLET
Simple one-pan meal. Tired of the same old kielbasa flavor. I had 1/2 of a kielbasa left over and I just went through the pantry looking for something new to cook with it. This is what I came up with. It was a hit with my family so I thought I would share. Serve with toast.

TEXAS BEEF SKILLET
Convenient 1 pan meal. I found this recipe in an old cookbook along time ago. Kids love it! The original was not as spicy as I make it but I like the flavor better with the added ingredients. To make it even spicier, add some jalapeños instead of the green chili. I also add frozen corn once in awhile.

- Don't be afraid to experiment: There are endless possibilities when it comes to making breakfast in a skillet. Feel free to experiment with different ingredients and flavors to find your favorite combinations.
