This giveaway has ended but check the giveaways link up above to see if there are any current giveaways going on!
Before I get on to business, I finally figured out a way to include printable recipes using google documents. From now on, after each recipe you will see a link that says View Printable Recipe, click on it and it will take you to the recipe in google docs and you can print out just the recipe! I will slowly start to add in all the recipes here but it will take awhile. Until then, just follow the directions under PRINTING up in the bar right up on top.
Last month (or maybe it was August) I was contacted by Eggland’s Best to see if wanted to have an EB Pink Party in support of breast cancer awareness month. I jumped at the chance. EB sponsored my brunch and sent an amazing prize pack that I will send on to one lucky winner! We had a great time at my brunch ~ these are my friends from our local dog park. A few couldn’t make it and we really missed them. We are a pretty diverse group of all ages AND our dogs all get along!
Between us in this picture, we have 13 dogs and 2 grand dogs. I’m the 4th from the left if anyone is wondering! Mr. Meat Eater took the picture so he will remain the mystery man 🙂
I can’t thank Eggland’s Best enough for the chance to have this party and for all they do to help in the fight against breast cancer. I’m beside myself that they chose me and my blog to help pass along the word and that they have such delicious eggs. I haven’t used any other brand of eggs in years!
One of the dishes I made was berry French toast. I am NOT a French toast lover and anything that even LOOKS like bread pudding I usually run away from. I don’t know what compelled me to try this dish but it has to be one of the best breakfast dishes I have ever made. It’s super easy and is not the least bit heavy.
The recipe calls for French bread but I used a loaf of challah bread instead and I think a loaf of King’s Hawaiian bread would be just as good. The other thing I like is that it calls for frozen berries so it can be made all year round instead of just during berry season. The frozen berries are also cheaper to use.
I think this was the most popular dish at the brunch!
Berry French Toast
1 loaf of French Bread, cubed (I used Challah)
6 egg whites
3 eggs
1 3/4 cups milk (I used 2%)
1 tsp sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp vanilla
1/4 tsp salt
1 (12 ounce) pkg frozen unsweetened mixed berries
2 tbsps cold butter
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
Places cubed bread in a lightly greased 13×9 baking dish.
In a bowl, combine the egg whites, eggs milk, sugar, cinnamon, vanilla, and salt and pour over the bread cubes in the baking dish. Cover and refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight. I have never let it sit that long. I usually make it about 5 hours ahead and put in the fridge until baking time.
Bake, covered, at 350º for 30 minutes. Once you have put it in the oven, take the berries out of the freezer and let sit on the cupboard to defrost a bit.
In a small bowl, cut the butter into the brown sugar until crumbly. Sprinkle berries, the brown sugar/butter over the top and bake, uncovered, for 15-20 more minutes or until a knife inserted near the middle comes out clean.
Serve with maple syrup if desired. It’s really good with the syrup!
Make 8-10 servings.
