Christmas Morning French Toast

 submitted by Tricia Keeler

(aka Anytime We Have Something Random to Celebrate and Have an Excuse to Eat Something Extremely Unhealthy French Toast)

Batter:
• 4 eggs
• ¼ cup sugar
• 1 Tbsp cinnamon
• ½ cup heavy whipping cream
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 1 Tbsp applesauce

Whisk all the ingredients in a bowl. Then dip both sides of a slice of bread in batter and yata yata, we all know how to make French toast. . . moving on!

Syrup:  Melt the following ingredients in an obnoxiously large pot. Seriously, make the pot WAY too big, you’ll thank me later. Bring to boil.
• ½ cup (1 cube) butter
• ¾ cup sugar
• ½ cup buttermilk

After that is boiling, whisk in the following:
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 1 tsp baking soda

I always add the vanilla first, once the baking soda is in, whisk with everything your momma gave ya. The syrup will foam up a lot (hence the big pot), I suggest serving the syrup immediately since the foam goes down pretty quickly and the foam is fun to eat.

Honeysauce Granola Bars

submitted by Stephanie Pruitt

Soo good and sooo good for you!


Long ago I found this granola bar recipe and I've been making them nonstop ever since. The pictures on her blog are a lot prettier than mine, but as I've adjusted the recipe to our particular tastes, I've included my own low-quality pictures.

Ingredients for Stephanie's (almond walnut raisin):
  • 3 cups oats
  • 3/4 cup wheat germ
  • 1 cup walnuts
  • 1 cup almonds
  • 2/3 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 4 Tbsp butter
  • 2 tsp vanilla
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup raisins
Ingredients for Mark's (chocolate peanut):
  • 3 cups oats
  • 1 cup wheat germ
  • 1 1/2 cup peanuts
  • 2/3 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 4 Tbsp butter
  • 2 tsp vanilla
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • chocolate chips
For both recipes, preheat the oven to 400. While the oven heats, scatter the oats, nuts, and wheat germ on a cookie sheet. Also measure the brown sugar, honey, butter, and salt into a small saucepan.

When the oven is ready, put the cookie sheet in the oven and heat the honeysauce on a medium stove plate. Line a 9x13 casserole dish with tinfoil, then spray with non-stick spray.

Toast the oats/nuts for 10-12 minutes, stirring once or twice. Continually stir the honeysauce. About the time the nuts are done, it should be bubbling like this:

Pour the oats/nuts into a bowl. Add vanilla to the honeysauce and pour over the oats.

Mix really well, then pour the granola into prepared pan.

Spray another sheet of foil with non-stick and press down the granola. You can use an 8x8 pan to help press hard and even, so they keep their granola bar shape when cooled. Remove top sheet.

If making the chocolate peanut bars, press the chocolate in while the granola is still hot. Alternatively, I'm sure you could sprinkle the chocolate over the granola, wait a minute to melt it, and then spread it evenly.

Let cool for at least 6 hours. DON'T take a shortcut with the fridge or freezer; it will make them brittle and not as yummy.

When cool, turn the granola out of the tinfoil onto a cutting board. You can use the chocolate chips as guidelines for cutting the bars.


Using the tinfoil from lining the dish and from pressing the top, wrap each bar. You can also use plastic wrap or other material.

Mark's are the bars with "C" for chocolate. :)

Yum! This recipe is easy and delicious, and makes 20-22 granola bars! Store them in an airtight container and enjoy them for weeks.



Price for Stephanie's: $.33/bar.
Price for Mark's: $.22/bar.
Based of of this chart.

Cheap, healthy, easy, DELICIOUS!
