| Blueberry French Toast Bake Jun 1st 2014, 22:46 The bread became very soft after soaking all night! I don't like to waste ANY food! I do whatever I can to use food to it's best and fullest! We had part of a French bread loaf for the other day that had grown quite hard. I thought I'd try to make a French toast bake, even though it wasn't soft! It was great! Although we did not eat this for dinner today, it would make a lovely "light" dinner! | Rating: 0 Created: Jun 1, 2014 11:46:03 PM |
|  | Apple Cranberry French Toast Bake Jun 1st 2014, 22:38 I *heart* French Toast Casseroles! I love how you can take SUPER STALE French bread and turn it into a breakfast (or dinner) masterpiece! By soaking the bread overnight in a fruity, egg-milk mixture, stale French bread can be completely transformed and redeemed!!! When I was sent this recipe, I HAD to try it! | Rating: 0 Created: Jun 1, 2014 11:38:43 PM |
| | Smoked Beans Jun 1st 2014, 22:24 After watching a Chef prepare some baked beans in a smoker on a TV show I was more than intrigued. I made these and my husband could NOT stop eating them. These are the perfect side dish for any pot luck or BBQ party. Seriously - don't wait for a party - make them now and enjoy! | Rating: 0 Created: Jun 1, 2014 11:24:34 PM |
| | Omelets With Caramelized Onions and Bacon Crumbles Jun 1st 2014, 22:14 Here's a pantry/freezer challenge meal that I made earlier this month. This was very much an experiment...And when I make it again, I'd use Swiss cheese. Not Feta. As part of making a little more room in the pantry and freezer, I have found myself rummaging through each every afternoon looking for something to concoct. Sometimes it's an old recipe from the site, other times it's using up the spaghetti sauce that I find. And this meal was a concoction. I found Feta in the freezer. Cooked turkey bacon in the freezer. Onions in the cupboard and a red pepper in the fridge. Throw if all together...a breakfast for dinner. | Rating: 0 Created: Jun 1, 2014 11:14:18 PM |
| | Sweet Potato Zucchini Frittata Jun 1st 2014, 22:04 I like frittatas. My family like frittatas. But for different reasons. I like frittatas because they are the breakfast version of stone soup. And I like them because I've never tried one that I didn't like. Pretty much any veggie and/or veggie combination works in a frittata, and this one proves that point. Spinach, mushrooms, tomatoes, onions, potatoes...all great additions to a frittata. But zucchini and sweet potato together in a frittata...you're just gonna have to trust me. My family loves frittatas because they taste good. And they have eggs in them (a fave ingredient among the little people). They also love the "brinner" concept too! Another reason I love frittatas, they are so easy to make! Layer thinly sliced zucchini, layer of cooked & cubed sweet potato, layer of thinly sliced zucchini. Pour milk-egg mixture on top. Bake. Serve with a side of fresh fruit and a glass of cold milk! | Rating: 0 Created: Jun 1, 2014 11:04:07 PM |
| | Ham and Cheese Frittata Jun 1st 2014, 21:54 Still looking for that perfect Christmas morning recipe...or the morning after Christmas recipe?!? If you've got some diced ham in the freezer, go get it out now to thaw! And use it on Christmas morning to make this for brunch! If you're having ham for your Christmas dinner and need a way to use up the leftovers, this would make a fabulous breakfast on the 26th! | Rating: 0 Created: Jun 1, 2014 10:54:00 PM |
| | Spanish Rice Jun 1st 2014, 21:53 This is the only recipe I ever use for my rice, and it is very similar to the way my grandmother in law makes hers. She is Hispanic and being married into the family has been a learning experience when it comes to cooking Mexican food. This is a tweaked version of several recipes I've tried, and I feel this is the closest I will get to the texture and flavor of hers. Salt and pepper are to taste, I like a to add a little extra chicken bouillon myself. I hope you enjoy, as her rice has always been known in the family as the best! | Rating: 0 Created: Jun 1, 2014 10:53:38 PM |
| | Slow Cooker Egg Casserole With Sausage and Red Pepper Jun 1st 2014, 21:42 I love the versatility of the slow cooker. I recently discovered the art and science of overnight slow cooking. I love the idea of waking up to a hot breakfast, ready in the slow cooker. And I love the idea of slow cooking a batch of granola or grits, and that it's waiting for me to enjoy in the morning. This recipe works beautifully in the slow cooker. There are no limits to this recipe. It could be used for breakfast, lunch or dinner. If you like to enjoy it for breakfast, simply cook it overnight. *After the four hours are up, the slow cooker will switch to "warm" setting and keep it warm for you into the early morning hours. If you'd like to have this for lunch, simply start it after cleaning up your breakfast dishes. And if you'd like to serve this for dinner, set the slow cooker on LOW around 1:30 or 2 p.m. and dinner will be waiting for you when you get home from errands and/or practice. | Rating: 0 Created: Jun 1, 2014 10:42:58 PM |
| | Roasted Poblano Pepper Quiche Jun 1st 2014, 21:32 Egg pie. That's what my about to be 4 year old called this quiche. He has become quite the sous chef in the past few weeks...always coming into the kitchen and helping me cook. I've started to let him help me crack the eggs (highly supervised still!) and taught him it's better to crack on the counter than the edge of the bowl, and how to keep the yolk from running all over the counter. I feel more comfortable with him helping me with raw eggs when we are using Safest Choice Pasteurized Eggs, especially when he's helping me with making cookies! He said, "Mom, I don't think I like 'egg pie.'" I responded with the typical you-won't-know-til-you-try-it montage that every parent with a toddler or picky eater preaches on a daily basis. I carefully cut a bite that would please his picky palate and he tried it. And then this..."Mom, I love this 'egg pie.'" It was tough, but I resisted the second half or that "see, you never know what you might be missing out on" speech and instead let him keep enjoying his egg pie. Love the flavors that filled this quiche, and I hope you will too! | Rating: 0 Created: Jun 1, 2014 10:32:07 PM |

| | Sausage Apple Egg Casserole Jun 1st 2014, 20:38 It's hard to photograph egg casseroles. Every time I've tried, it just doesn't look as good as it tastes. I suppose it's the bland colors. Anyways...L-O-V-E-D the sausage and apple flavors in this casserole! | Rating: 0 Created: Jun 1, 2014 9:38:08 PM |
| | Ham and Broccoli Breakfast Casserole With Extra-Sharp Cheddar Jun 1st 2014, 20:30 I was at a church brunch recently and the ladies at my table started talking about egg casseroles. It was fun to hear everyone's take on them...for both sides...the cooking them and the eating them. After listening contentedly for a few minutes, I chimed in with a few thoughts myself. "I love to add some flare to my egg casseroles...whether it be a particular spice, or a bold and delicious cheese." I went on to tell them about this one dish egg casserole that I brought and why I chose the extra-sharp, how it took me what felt like 9 minutes to locate the extra-sharp cheddar cheese in the cheese department, and how I used the English muffins because it's what I found in my freezer. I loved the balance of flavors and textures in this egg casserole. The crushed red pepper gives a hint of heat. The paprika brings a bit of smoky sweetness, and the ham and broccoli work perfectly with the rich and deep flavor of the extra-sharp cheddar cheese. I hope you enjoy the rich flavor that the extra-sharp cheddar cheese brings to this one dish egg casserole! | Rating: 0 Created: Jun 1, 2014 9:30:21 PM |
