French Toast Casserole

Advertisements

This is a simple recipe that easily makes 8-10 servings. It’s as simple as soaking up the egg mixture, like you would to make french toast on the stove top, then baking it until it’s done! For this recipe, I used a loaf of homemade bread. My bread was very heavy so it took a while to absorb all the egg mixture. If you use a store bought loaf, you will probably need to whole loaf too, but if your in doubt, dip in two batches. Otherwise the recipe seems pretty straight forward, so I don’t have anything else to advise on. This recipe make 8 very large servings for us, so cutting it into 10 would be the better option.

Steaks and Stuffing

Advertisements

This is just a recipe for a meal I made last week. This was a new stuffing I had never made before. I had heard people usually use broth in their stuffing, so I thought it would be good to make a more healthy stuffing that the one I usually make with only butter. For this recipe, I used a half loaf of Homemade bread. Since homemade bread is so much more dense than normal bread, you’ll want to make sure your store bread is either an artisan thick bread, or that your store bought bread is one the stale side, or you could alternatively make it croutons before using it in this recipe. This stuffing was very good. The broth is very forward, and the spices are very evenly present. The butter adds a bit of fat to the dish and a bit of salt, but season as you like. As for the steaks, I just cooked them by themselves like an ordinary steak. You could add butter after the flip and baste during the final side, but I chose not to. I also added a bit of oil at the beginning of the cooking for the steaks, because I have very lean steaks. I served these steaks with some A1. The steaks were able to serve 2 adults, and the stuffing was enough to serve 3 adults.

Cocktail Sauce Meatloaf

Advertisements

This meatloaf is a different experience from any other meatloaf you may have tried. The horseradish in the cocktail sauce is so potent, every bite has it’s flavor! This zesty meatloaf isn’t your mother’s meatloaf, it’s a different experience with more flavor and more textures. This meatloaf also doesn’t need any other sauce when you serve it since it has all the seasoning it could need. I made my own cocktail sauce for this recipe that was two parts ketchup to one part horseradish. If you make this yourself, start low on horseradish then adjust after. Also, letting the meatloaf rest is important if you want your slices to come out even partially intact. Finally, this recipe made 3 adult servings of meatloaf.

Orange Marmalade

Advertisements

Marmalade is a jam/jelly that is made without any added pectin. Marmalade uses the natural pectin in the rind of citrus fruits to thicken into a jelly. Marmalade also tends to use more that one fruit. This marmalade is a remix on the marmalade I made earlier this week. I also needed to use up the last of the oranges I had from Christmas since they were beginning to go bad. I decided to freeze this jelly too, since I don’t have 1/2 pint jars. I followed the recipe below and found no problems. With this recipe, I made 2 one cup containers, but they weren’t filled completely, so it’s more like 1 full container.

What You Will Need

1 Medium Orange
1/2 Cup Water
2 Cups Sugar
Freezer Safe Containers/half pint canning jars (About 2 one cup containers)
Small Saucepan

Directions

1. Cut your oranges into eighths, then thinly slice into tiny triangles. Add cut oranges, sugar, and water to pan and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce to a simmer and simmer for 15-20 minutes until tender. Add boiling water to freezer safe containers/jars.

2. Remove water from containers, then ladle marmalade into containers. If freezing, leave 1/2 inch headroom, and if canning, leave 1/4 inch headroom. If you are canning, you can water-bath can them for 10 minutes. If you want to freeze them, add lids and let sit at room temperature for 16-24 hours to solidify, then freeze for up to 12 months, and safe in the fridge for 3 weeks.

Orange Blueberry Marmalade

Advertisements

Marmalade is a jam/jelly that is made without any added pectin. Marmalade uses the natural pectin in the rind of citrus fruits to thicken into a jelly. Marmalade also tends to use more that one fruit. This marmalade is a mixture of a few recipes I had found. First, I didn’t have any half pint jars, so I decided to plan on freezing my jelly. I based my recipe off of this recipe for citrus blueberry marmalade. The biggest differences being, I used only oranges, while the original recipe used several citrus fruits. I used frozen blueberries instead of fresh, this made my blueberries less likely to burst, though they spread just fine on toast. Finally, this recipe was not made to be frozen, so I just referenced a few other recipes about how to freeze jam, and put the consensus in the recipe. I followed the recipe below and found no problems. With this recipe, I made 6 one cup containers, however if you do make this recipe you may only get 5 cups.
