So, I hope that through this I can help you find some passion for cooking much like I have. Cooking and baking can be a wonderful stress relief. Whether you are a professional chef, stay at home parent, or someone who rushes to put dinner on the table after getting home from work, you can easily LOVE cooking and easily put wonderful healthy meals in front of your family. So are all the recipes I suggest going to be 100% healthy. DEFINATELY NOT! I can assure you that not everything that we eat in my house is completely healthly, but it is all created with love, and is enjoyed.
What am I going to share with you: stories about my food, about my food experiences, and recipes. And I hope you will do the same with me. I will post as often as I can. Please try my recipes, and give me as much feedback as possible. These are my recipes, and I hope one day that I can use them to create a cookbook or catering business.
So your first recipe to try is definately NOT health food. But it is sooooo yummy.
Stuffed French Toast
Loaf of fresh french bread (sliced into about 1 1/2 inch slices)
1 package of plain cream cheese (at room temp)
1 small jar orange marmalade
1/2 dz. eggs (cracked-whip with few tablespoons of water)
cinnamon to taste (mix into eggs)
vanilla extract (mix into eggs)
**In your slices of french bread cut a pocket along the edge of the crust. Make sure not to cut all the way through as this is where you will stuff the cream cheese mixture.
**Mix cream cheese and marmalade together with either a fork or with a hand mixer until smooth. Spoon this mixture evenly into the slices of french bread.
**Mix eggs with few tablespoons of water, cinnamon and extract.
**Coat the bread after stuffing with cream cheese. Soak in egg mixture for about 1 minute.
**Move immediately to hot skillet or griddle until browned on both sides.
Serve immediately with powered sugar and/or syrup. And definately enjoy!!!! My family loves this!!
I hope you all have a wonderful weekend, and happy cooking. Cook everything you do with passion and love and it will be perfect.

Jennifer, thank you for starting this recipe exchange blog. I love cooking and collecting good recipes. Unfortunately for the past 10 years I have only worked with men and no longer have outlets for good easy recipes. The men do share their HUNGRY MACHO MAN type recipes with me - always things I would never ever cook, but I appreciate their offerings.
ReplyDeleteThe French Toast Sounds YUMMY...but since my hubby wont eat cream cheese unless it is disguised very well w/sausage (or something like that) I will only have to trust that it is as wonderful as you say & I can imagine. :(
I do plan on trying your chicken recipe that you started with. I am looking for new ways to cook chicken and this sure sounds good.
I am anxiously looking forward to the next recipe.
Thank you,
Mary Son
Mary, (and all)
ReplyDeleteAs far as the cream cheese thing....I too know many people (my mom included) who don't care for cream cheese, but once you mix it with the marmalade and get it in the french toast and cook it, people don't even know. Trust me. Its worth the try. They might surprise you. You can also try it with creme fraiche (sweeten it with a little powdered sugar first). This will have more of the taste of whipped creme, and you can mix it with the marmalade, and still enjoy it. Try that as an alternative.

You could also make a custard to mix with the marmalade.
