Fruited Turkey Salad

I first had fruited chicken salad years ago at a company Christmas party. It was served on delicate mini croissants and was simply wonderful. It took me a while to find a recipe but once I did, there's no going back.

Smashed Raspberries & Hot Cocoa

This is one of those things that can really pick you up on a chilly spring morning. It really doesn't take long to make and it's something that you can sneak, all for yourself, before the kids get up. Of course you can opt to share it. Smashed Raspberries are also very good over pancakes, waffles and even pineapple upside down cake.

Smashed Raspberries
~ 10 oz. bag of frozen raspberries
~ Smash your berries in a pan with a little water and add a half cup of raw sugar.
~ Heat and stir until the contents begin to boil. If it is too runny, you may add a bit of arrowroot or white flour to thicken it.

Hot Cocoa
~ When making hot cocoa I use milk and follow the directions on the back of my cocoa since they all seem to differ slightly in taste. If there are no directions I use 2 heaping tablespoons of cocoa for every cup of milk and add raw sugar until it is sweet enough for me.

I hope that you are doing well,
Until next time,

May all your endeavors be a blessing!

Homemade French Toast

Today I'd like to share with you one of my childhood favorites. This recipe is my Grandmother's interpretation of the classic French toast. My children ask for it regularly and thankfully, this recipe is very quick and easy to whip up.

Homemade French Toast, Cheese Omelet, & Sliced Oranges

Any type of bread works fine for French toast but I like to mix it up and use a variety of fun breads. Among my favorites are Texas Toast, Potato Bread, and Cinnamon Raisin Bread.

Ingredients:
~ 2 eggs, beaten
~ 1/2 cup milk
~ 1 teaspoon sugar
~ 1/4 teaspoon vanilla
~ a few shakes of ground cinnamon
~ 4-6 slices of bread

Directions:
~ Pour eggs into a shallow container (I like to use glass pie plates for this) and add the milk, sugar, vanilla, and cinnamon. Mix with a fork.
~ Lay bread slices into the mixture, one at a time, flipping quickly to cover both sides without absorbing too much of the mixture into the bread.
~ Fry on a greased griddle until golden brown on each side, making sure that no egg is left raw.
~ Serve warm with syrup.

I hope you've been inspire to try this for your family.
Until next time,

May all your endeavors be a blessing!

Homemade Baked Beans

Months ago I picked up a pile of dried beans from the store. Today I'll share the #2 most requested dish by my kids.... Yep, it's baked beans.

The ingredients are simple but it this is not an instant gratification dish. It's best to start early because there's really no way to rush it.

Ingredients:
2 cups dry beans (I'm using Great Northern Beans today but I also like Navy Beans too)
1 cup chopped onions
1/2 cup molasses
1 tablespoon mustard
1/4 cup brown sugar (I am out of brown sugar so I substituted with cane sugar)
1 teaspoon salt
1 stick of butter (beef tallow works well too)

Instructions: 
Follow the instruction on the package for preparing the dry beans. Drain prepared beans and combine with other ingredients in a casserole dish. Cover and bake at 350 degrees for 3 hours.

Until next time,

May all your endeavors be a blessing!
