Gold Coast French Toast

February 2, 2006 / / 0 Comments

Recipe Source: 101cookbooks.com

Ingredients:

1 egg
1 cup undiluted evaporated milk
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon salt
6 slices bread

Directions:

Beat egg; add milk, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Mix thoroughly. Cut bread into triangle, dip into egg and milk mixture. Brown on both sides on a well-greased griddle or frying pan. Serve with soft butter and maple syrup.

Heidi’s Notes:

I used a Hawaiian sweet bread sliced about 1-inch thick (and cut it into heart shapes). Choose your bread wisely – challah or any eggy or sweet bread would be equally good. I like to slice my French toast thick – it tends to collapse down a lot as it gets dunked and cooked. It will serve 2-4 depending on how hungry people are. I recommend a double batch!

Irish Potato Soup

This is just like what my grandmother used to make!

Recipe Source: oldfashionedcooking.com

Prep/Cooking Time:

Ingredients:

8 medium-sized potatoes
1 large onion
herbs, salt and pepper to taste
milk
butter

Directions:

Peel and boil potatoes with onion sliced, some herbs, salt and pepper; press all through a colander; then thin it with rich milk and add a lump of butter, more seasoning, if necessary; let it heat well and serve hot.

Scalloped Potatoes

January 21, 2006 / / 0 Comments

Recipe Source: Mom

Prep/Cooking Time: cooking: 15-20 mins

Ingredients:

potatoes, boiled and sliced
flour
shredded cheddar cheese
butter or margarine
salt
pepper
cream or milk

Directions:

Sorry, I don’t have measurements for this one, this is one I “eyeball.”

When cooking the potatoes, make sure they’re done, but not so overdone that they fall apart when you fork or knife them. It helps if you slice them before boiling, usually 1/4 inch thick.

In a small casserole dish, layer flour, salt and pepper (to taste), cheese, small “dallops” of butter, and potatoes — in that order. You’ll want each to form a layer, repeating until you either fill the dish or run out of potatoes. Top dish with extra cheese and butter.

Bake at 350 degrees F for 15 to 20 minutes.

When removed from oven, pour cream or milk into dish to create a “sauce” from the cooked ingredients.

Alternatives: This is a great dish for adding left-over ham or turkey for a “potluck” dish. I also enjoy a clove of garlic in mine as well — it would help to roast it first! Or use the bottled/pre-cooked kind from the supermarket.

Buttermilk Biscuit Strawberry Shortcake

January 21, 2006 / / 1 Comment

Recipe Source: Popeye’s website

Prep/Cooking Time: Total prep and cooking time: 3 hours

Ingredients:

12 Popeye’s biscuits
1-1/4 cups granulated sugar
3 pints fresh strawberries
1 quart heavy cream
1/2 cup 10x confectioner’s sugar
12 ounce tub whipped topping (optional)

Directions:

Strawberry Topping:
Rinse, hull and thinly slice 2 pints of strawberries. Wash and hull the third pint and add only 1/4 cup of granulated sugar. Mash or pulse a few times in a mixer or blender. Cover and hold mashed product in refrigerator for 2 hours before serving.

Biscuits:
Go to your local Popeye’s restaurant and pick up a dozen biscuits. Take a baking pan and sprinkle with 1 cup of granulated sugar. Place your biscuits top side down on the pan. Then place the biscuits in a 200 degree oven on the bottom rack. Bake until sugar caramelizes to the biscuit tops – approximately 20 minutes.

Whipped Topping:
To make topping from scratch: Add the heavy cream and half a cup of powdered sugar. Whip the cream and sugar to stiff peaks.

(If you prefer, you can use a 12 oz. tub of whipped topping instead of making it from scratch.)

Presentation:
Present on a dessert or Bread and Butter plate. Cut the biscuit in half and place bottom on plate. Place 3 heaping spoons of strawberries on top of the biscuit bottom, then 2 heaping spoons of whipped cream. Place the biscuit top over the whipped cream, then another 2 heaping spoons of strawberries and a dollop of whipped cream.

Serve and eat!

Boo Cups

January 21, 2006 / / 0 Comments

Recipe Source: Kraft Foods website (Halloween section)

Prep/Cooking Time: prep: 15 minutes

Ingredients:

3-1/4 cups cold fat free milk
2 pkg. (4-serving size each) JELL-O Chocolate Flavor Instant Pudding & Pie Filling
1 tub (8 oz.) COOL WHIP Whipped Topping, thawed, divided
1 pkg. (6-1/2 oz.) Chocolate Sandwich Cookies, crushed, divided
30 miniature semi-sweet chocolate chips

Directions:

Pour milk into large bowl. Add pudding mixes. Beat with wire whisk 2 minutes or until well blended. Gently stir in 1/2 of the whipped topping and 1/2 of the crushed cookies.

Spoon 1 Tbsp. of the remaining crushed cookies into each of 15 individual cups. Spoon pudding mixture evenly into cups; top with remaining crushed cookies.

Drop remaining whipped topping by spoonfuls onto desserts to create “ghosts.” Decorate with chocolate chips to create “eyes.” Refrigerate until ready to serve. Watch the ghosts disappear! Store leftover desserts in refrigerator.

Shortcut: Instead of dropping spoonfuls of whipped topping, fill sealable plastic bag with remaining whipped topping; seal bag. Using scissors, diagonally snip off one corner from bottom of bag. Squeeze out topping to create “ghosts.”

Makes 15 servings, 1/2 cup each.

Cheddar Bay Biscuits

January 21, 2006 / / 0 Comments

Recipe Source: robbiehaf.com

Prep/Cooking Time: Prep: 15 minutes

Ingredients:

2 cups Bisquick baking mix
2/3 cup milk
1/2 cup shredded mild cheddar cheese
1/4 cup butter or margarine – melted
1/4 tsp. garlic powder
parsley flakes – as needed

Directions:

Combine Bisquick, milk, and cheddar and beat with a wooden spoon for about 30 seconds.

Spoon onto a lightly greased cookie sheet.

Bake in 450 degree oven for 8-10 minutes.

Combine butter and garlic powder and pour over hot biscuits; sprinkle with parsley.

Onion Popovers

January 21, 2006 / / 0 Comments

Recipe Source: Mom

Prep/Cooking Time: cooking: 30-35 minutes

Ingredients:

1 cup flour
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp onion
1 tsp parsley (fresh is best, dried ok too)
1 cup milk
2 eggs, beaten
butter or margarine

Directions:

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.

Combine all ingredients in a medium-sized mixing bowl.

You will need to grease a muffin pan. Using butter would be best, but non-stick sprays may do in a pinch.

Fill muffin pan and add a “dallop” of butter to each cup. This will help shape the popover while it cooks.

Bake at 450 degrees F for 20 minutes. Then reduce temperature to 350 degrees F and bake for an additional 10 to 15 minutes, until the bread crests out of the muffin cups and brown slightly.

Note: this may take some practice to get the shape down!

Suggestion: We enjoy these with minced garlic instead of onion. Garlic powder may also be used if fresh garlic is not available.
