Blackberry Jam

cooking, Gift ideas, , , , , ,

My dad planted some blackberry bushes last summer to see how well they would do in his garden.  Well apparently, they love the spot that he planted them because the bushes are loaded with berries this summer!  They are big beautiful berries and so my sister and I and dad went and picked some for him and we made blackberry jam.  Then the next week my sister went and picked for herself and made blackberry jam.  Yesterday, I went to pick for me and I made more blackberry jam and the bushes are still loaded with more berries!  I don’t know about you, but I had never really had access to blackberries and thought that they were just a tart berry with a core in the middle, little did I know that they make the best tasting jams and jellies.  I think I prefer it over raspberry jam and I love raspberry jam!

Breakfast for Dinner!

cooking, Recipes, , , , ,

Do you ever have breakfast for dinner?  The other night that is what I did and my husband kept telling my how good it was!  I guess that I need to do that more often! I saw this idea out there somewhere in blog land, but I honestly cannot find where I saw it.  So I decided to just make up my own recipe.  Do you ever do that?  I am kind of a dump person when it comes to cooking.  I add a little of this and little of that until I think it looks/tastes good, and I must of had just the right portions, because this recipe really seemed to hit the spot!  I made Croissant French Toast!  Whoever thought up this idea was a genius!

I added some frozen fruit to mine along with, yes, canned whipped cream!  It was so yum!

 

My husband is more of a maple syrup kind of guy, so I just sprinkled a little powdered sugar on his, before he smothered it with syrup!  I added a ham and cheese omelet to round out the meal.  And like I said, it really hit the spot!

Does anyone else out there want to make croissant french toast?  Your taste buds with thank you if you do!

Croissant French Toast

1 egg

½ cup milk

2 croissants split in half

1 tsp cinnamon-divided (or to taste)

 

Mix egg and milk together until well blended in a flat bowl.

Add ½ tsp cinnamon to egg mixture.

Dip both sides of the croissant into egg mixture.

Cook on a hot griddle until egg is cooked and slightly browned, repeat for other side.

(I only added ½ of the cinnamon and dipped two slices then added the other ½ before dipping the next two slices.  I like quite a bit of cinnamon, so you may have to adjust how much you use for your own taste.)

Top with powdered sugar, fruit and whipped cream, or your favorite syrup.

Serving size: 2
