Here are a couple of recipes that I pulled out of magazines and threw together for a quick dinner the other night. The biscuits really were easy and fast and I was surprised at how much height they got. The frittata was also quick and delicious.
I think that dill goes really well with egg dishes and that was the main herb in this frittata. The great thing about a dish like a frittata is, you can use whatever veggies you have on hand and change up the cheese or herbs to make it a totally different dish. I love dinners like this that can be made quickly, are healthy and fill you up.
Flaky Buttermilk Biscuits from Cooking Light
2. Weigh or lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Combine flour, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl; cut in butter with a pastry blender or 2 knives until mixture resembles coarse meal. Chill 10 minutes.
3. Combine buttermilk and honey, stirring with a whisk until well blended. Add buttermilk mixture to flour mixture; stir just until moist.
4. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface; knead lightly 4 times. Roll dough into a (1/2-inch-thick) 9 x 5–inch rectangle; dust top of dough with flour. Fold dough crosswise into thirds (as if folding a piece of paper to fit into an envelope). Reroll dough into a (1/2-inch-thick) 9 x 5–inch rectangle; dust top of dough with flour. Fold dough crosswise into thirds; gently roll or pat to a 3/4-inch thickness. Cut dough with a 1 3/4-inch biscuit cutter to form 14 dough rounds. Place dough rounds, 1 inch apart, on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake at 400° for 12 minutes or until golden. Remove from pan; cool 2 minutes on wire racks. Serve warm.

Perfect! Dinner is solved, and I need to use up some eggs. Isn't that a lovely way to start a Monday? Thanks.
What a delicious dinner to throw together! The biscuits look great.
This looks so delicious! I can't wait to try those biscuits - they look every bit as good as biscuits that are full of fat. The frittata looks delicious too. I love dinners like this!
Two things I love. Especially frittatas. I love throwing anything I have on hand in them.
