Baked Cinnamon French Toast

July 31, 2012

Baking french toast? It can be helpful if you’d be blessed by more passive prepartion! Lots of servings are ready fast, without having to be at the stovetop. Put this in the oven and forget about it until the timer goes off and you’re ready to eat. This makes me feel like I’m having a little Christmas (morning), even in July. You can also make ahead and refrigerate overnight. Fresh fruit pretty much must happen with french toast for me. There’s lots of seasonal ways you could dress it up.

ROLO STUFFED SNICKERDOODLES

July 20, 2012

What is it about the simple deliciousness of snickerdoodles? Snickerdoodles equal happy, sweet treat feelings. A caramel center is a pleasant addition to this classic cookie. And rolos are just the way to do it! This is the littlest effort ever required for a quite fanciful cookie. I like my snickerdoodles a bit stout. Not really thin and wide. More of a husky little bordering on truffle thing. That is only even more helpful on this because it helps the rolo not ooze out and burn.

Rolo Stuffed Snickerdoodles
Makes 16 cookies

1 batch perfect snickerdoodle dough
16 rolo candies
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Prepare snickerdoodle dough.

Shape dough into 1 and 1/2 inch balls, folding a rolo into center

Stir together sugar and cinnamon and spread on to a plate. Press dough balls into cinnamon and sugar.

Slightly flatten dough balls and arrange on a lined baking sheet.

Bake for 7-8 minutes.

BETTER-THAN-TAKEOUT CHICKEN FRIED RICE

July 14, 2012

Here is my version of this classic dish. I like dinners that are with ground chicken or ground turkey and this can be done with those as well. Also, a special treat, we love this breakfast fried rice. Sometimes I add pineapple too. Fresh is best of course! This recipe is one of the all time most popular recipes on the website. We do love it in our family, and have been making it for almost fifteen years.
