French toast cups

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 careful not to burn the bottom. 

Once they're done, take them out and drizzle a generous amount of syrup on top of them, making sure to get most of the bread covered. 
Put back into the oven for another 5 minutes or so, until the syrup looks like it's sort of glazed the cups. 

If you want to top them with icing, you can use whatever recipe you like. I use a simple recipe using butter, icing sugar, and milk. 
Now you can enjoy a sweet, easy breakfast in the morning!

Pierogies and Scrambled Eggs

Image
I absolutely LOVE pierogies, but I've always made them the same way; boil and then fry them. So this time, I decided to try something new, and pair them with some scrambled eggs for breakfast (or lunch). You will need: Ready-made pierogies (or home made, if you prefer)\ BBQ chicken seasoning Garlic salt Celery salt Two eggs (per person, I only made for me :P) 1/2 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese Butter or Pam for greasing the pan First, boil the pierogies until they are soft (cooked inside and no longer frozen). Grease a baking pan and place the pierogies on the pan. Sprinkle with chicken, celery and garlic seasoning on both sides and top with some mozzarella cheese. Broil for a few minutes, until the cheese is melted and pierogies have become slightly browned.  To make the eggs, crack them and put them in a small bowl, add a splash of milk, some BBQ seasoning, and the rest of the cheese, and mix until the eggs are all mixed together. Put in a frying pan stirring often to...

Cream cheese stuffed, bacon wrapped pork loin

Image
This is comfort food; there is nothing healthy about this.  I had a pack of nine of those small boneless pork loin chops and decided to do something super unhealthy with it! For 9 rolls, you need: 9 chops 1 package of garlic and herb cream cheese 1/2 cup of sweet BBQ sauce  1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese  1 teaspoon of garlic salt 1 pack of bacon Begin by tenderizing the meat to flatten it out. You can use whatever tools you have that work to do this; a meat tenderizer is ideal though.  Mix the cheese, cream cheese and garlic salt together in a bowl.  Spoon about a tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture into the centre of each pork chop, and roll it up. Coat it in BBQ sauce.  Wrap two slices of bacon around each pork chop roll.  Preheat the oven to 375 degrees and bake for 20-30 minutes, or until the pork is cooked through. If the bacon is not sufficiently crispy, put the oven on broil for a few minutes.

Garlic Basil Chicken with Tomato Butter Sauce (stolen and revised)

So I started off cooking this meal exactly as the recipe stated, but I didn't have all the exact ingredients, and the flavours just weren't where I wanted them to be, so I made some changes. I'll post the link to the original recipe, and then write out what I did below. I'm sorry I don't have any pictures this time! The only downfall of this recipe is that it's a bit time-consuming. However, you could always cook the chicken ahead of time, which would help. Original recipe is here . INGREDIENTS 1 lb. boneless skinless chicken breasts salt and pepper 2 tsp garlic salt 2 tsp lemon pepper 2 tsp paprika 1/4 cup of half&half cream ¼ cup olive oil 5-6 roma tomatoes, diced 2 cloves garlic, minced 1/2 small white onion, minced 3 tbsp dried basic  ¼ cup margerine 8 ounces pasta, like spaghetti, linguine, or bucatini (I used spaghettini) 1/2 cup of mushroom Ragu (if needed) INSTRUCTIONS Cover the chicken with plastic wrap and pound each p...
