Christmas Brunch

For the past few years (I don't know exactly how many) my son has asked for the same thing for Christmas Brunch: Peach French Toast.

This year because we were going to be away from home for Christmas I brought all of the fixin's with me, so that it would not be the mad scramble it was last year at the resort trying to find all the ingredients.

The recipe for this Christmas favorite is:

Baked Peach French Toast

1 loaf French bread sliced into 1" slices

1 brick cream cheese

- spread cream cheese on both sides of bread and place in buttered baking pan

1 can sliced peaches (drained)

- layer the peach slices on top of the bread

1 cup pecans or walnuts (your choice)

- sprinkle walnuts over bread and peaches

3 eggs

1 cup milk

1/2 cup maple syrup

1 tsp vanilla

- mix together and pour over the bread

- just prior to putting in the oven I sprinkle the top with my Maple Sugar Grinder

- bake at 350 F for about 30 minutes, and enjoy!

Hope this inspires your own creativity...

Oh S"crap"! It's Monday

So, my post today is about S"crap" food.  What is wrong with me (that's another post...)?

Last week I accidentally opened up a can of peaches. Hmmm, what to do?  Put in refrigerator and leave for a week.  At work we have a running joke about the difference between a Registered Nurse and Registered Dietitian.  A Registered Nurse will simply clean the mold off of spaghetti sauce and cook it to a boiling temperature, a Registered Dietitian will refrigerate for three days and then discard of it!  What a waste...

Since the peaches had been in the refrigerator for almost a week, it is now time to do something with them, so last night I made muffins!

Here is the recipe I used:

Peach Muffins 

1/2 cup canola oil 

2 eggs

1/2 cup sugar

1/2 cup brown sugar

1/2 teaspoon vanilla 

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

1 cup all purpose flour

1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1 can chopped peaches (not the liquid)

Watkins Cinna-Cream Sprinkles 

 

Mix ingredients together in order listed.  I used the Cinna-Cream Sprinkles on the top just before putting in the 350 F oven for 20 minutes.

 

Hope this inspires your own creativity...

Oh S"crap"! It's Monday...

Alright, so it's a little different of a s"crap" project today.

When I got home from Saskatchewan last night I realized that I had forgotten to put the extra peaches in the refrigerator when we left.  They were VERY ripe.

So, I made my favorite Peach Streusel Coffee Cake with s"crap" peaches.

It is delicious!

Hope this inspires your own creativity...
