Fabulous Food

Again I wanted to make hubby an easy breakfast food, so I've been brainstorming and came up with this.  It's basically French toast cupcakes glazed with maple syrup and topped with some icing. The icing is optional - I added it afterwards because I found them a bit bland and I overcooked them a bit. It's difficult to tell when they're done. This makes 12 cups.  Ingredients: 6 slices of bread 3/4 cup of maple syrup 4-6 eggs Splash of milk 1 tablespoon brown sugar 3 teaspoons cinnamon Crack your eggs into a bowl and whisk with milk, cinnamon, and brown sugar.  Cut each slice of bread into 6 strips. You may want to remove the crust for a nicer taste.  Grease a cupcake pan with margerine or whatever you normally use for cupcakes or muffins.  Dip your bread strips in the egg mixture one at a time and lay them in the cups, three in each cup, crossing them.  Once all the cups are filled, bake at 350 degrees for 10-20 minutes, or until the egg has cooked. Be carefu...

I think I got the idea for these from a picture I saw on Pinterest but I didn't go by a recipe. I did use a recipe for the pastry. It's listed below.  These are great if you like to eat breakfast on the go - they have egg, dough, bacon, and cheese and are delicious! The best part is that you can make them before hand and heat them when you want them.  Ingredients: Filling  1/2 pound of bacon 5 large eggs 2 tablespoons of milk 1 cup of grated cheese of your choice Pastry 2 and 1/2 cups of flour 1 cup of margarine or butter  4-6 teaspoons of water http://britishfood.about.com/od/recipeindex/r/scpastry.htm Preheat oven to 350.  Begin by making your pastry dough. Using a fork, cream together the flour and butter until it looks like bread crumbs and all looks mixed.  Add water slowly while mixing it in - you want the dough to be not sticky but not falling apart.  Cover and sit in the fridge for 30 min. Pre-cook your bacon a little bit - if you like it crisp...

I saw this recipe on the food network and will post the link on the bottom, but this is my simplified version.  It's a 2-layer chocolate cake with strawberries, whipped cream, and Nutella (or any chocolate hazelnut spread). It's light and delicious. Ingredients 1 box of chocolate fudge cake mix (and required ingredients from the box) 1 quart of strawberries, sliced 1/2 - 3/4 cup of chocolate hazelnut spread, softened  1 package of whipped topping mix (and required ingredients to make it Margarine to grease pans  2 pinches of flour 1/4 - 1/2 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips  Start by mixing your cake mix. Grease two 9' pans and coat in a thin layer of flour. Pour cake mix in and bake according to the box.  Mix up your whipped cream - it usually says to add vanilla but I substituted for cinnamon - I love cinnamon.  Once your cakes have cooled, place one cake upside down on a plate so the upright side is flat. Layer half of your Nutella, then half of your str...
