Stuffed French Toast

I got this one off of a ward Relief Society newsletter. I'm not for sure who's recipe it was, but whoever it was, thanks for sharing!  It's really yummy!

Stuffed French Toast

8 oz cream cheese

3 Tblsp strawberry jam

1/2 nutmeg

1 tsp vanilla

eggs milk

bananas

fresh strawberries

Mix the cream cheese and strawberry jam together for the filling.  Prepare/mix the eggs, milk, nutmeg, and vanilla together to dip the bread in.  Spread a generous amount of cream cheese mixture between 2 pieces of bread and then dip into milk/egg mixture.  Cook stuffed french toast as you normally would, making sure to turn over on both sides.

Butter Syrup

Melt 1 cube of butter in pan.  Slowly add 1 cup sugar and dissolve on medium heat. When dissolved thoroughly, it should appear whitish yellow in color and be nice and creamy.  Then add 3/4 of a 12 oz can of evaporated milk and 1 tsp. vanilla, stir together until it gets thicker (this may take 5-10 minutes of stirring constantly).  Then serve over the stuffed french toast and sliced fruit.   

Apple Snicker Salad

This sounds like a strange combination, and well, quite frankly it is.  It is so YUMMY though!  I made this once for my hubby's family and they almost always request that I make it when we get together and I am in charge of the salad.  So enjoy, because you will be going back for 2nd's!

What You Will Need:

1 can (8 ounces) pineapple tidbits in juice

2 medium red apples

2 medium green apples

4 ounces cream cheese

1 cup frozen whipped topping

Snickers

1.  Drain the pineapple, reserving the juice.  Place cream cheese in a large bowl.  Gradually whisk in the pineapple juice until smooth.  Fold in the whipped topping until well blended.

2.  Cut Snickers into bite size pieces.  Add the pineapple and Snickers into the cream cheese mixture.  Dice the apples and add them into the cream cheese mixture.  Quickly blend salad together.

3.  Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.

* This is better when made a little bit ahead and has had time to chill in the fridge.  I also always add the apples last so they do not turn brown.

*  I always double the recipe.

Fruit Topped Almond Cream

On my first date with my hubby Ryan, he took me to Ruth Chris Steak House. The whole meal was delicious and for dessert we shared berries and cream. It was yummy and has been one of my favorites ever since. I recently came across this recipe and was so excited to make it for Ryan, hoping to bring back memories from our first date. It turned out to be delicious, but Ryan didn't even remember eating that on our first date. Shocker I know;0) This is a quick and easy recipe and you can use just about any kind of fruit to go along with it.

What you will need:
1 package (3.4 ounces) instant French Vanilla pudding mix
2-1/2 cups cold milk
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1/2 to 3/4 teaspoon almond extract
3 cups assorted fruit (strawberries, grapes, raspberries, blueberries, mandarin oranges. I personally like to stick to berries so I use blackberries, strawberries, raspberries, etc)

1. In a large bowl, combine the pudding mix and milk. Beat on low speed for 2 minutes and set aside.

2. In a small bowl, beat cream and extract until stiff peaks form. Fold into pudding. Spoon into shallow serving dish. Chill. Top with fruit just before serving.
