Breakfast Casserole

This past weekend was my bridal shower in Rexburg and we had the most yummy food! Tiara made yummy muffins, my friend made delicious fruit dip with tons of fruit, Konda made even more yummy muffins and fruit parfaits and I made this breakfast casserole! It is SO easy and very good! Enjoy!! (recipe at the end!)

Bacon Breakfast Pizza

• 1- 8 count can crescent roll dough
• 3 cups shredded hash browns (can used cubed)
• dozen eggs
• 1 cup shredded cheddar
• 6 slices bacon ** In my opinion you  need MORE bacon than this!! 
• Salt and Pepper to taste
• Optional: Other toppings of your choice. Examples are: Onions, mushrooms, other meats, other vegetables, etc

Cook bacon and set aside. Spray a 9×13 inch pan with cooking spray. Place crescent roll dough in the bottom of the pan, pinching seams together to seal. Spread frozen hash browns over dough. Salt and pepper to taste (I start with 1/2 tsp of each). Beat all eggs in a bowl and pour over hash browns. Sprinkle crumbled bacon over. Place in oven at 350 degrees for 40-45 minutes, or until set in center. Sprinkle cheese over top and return to oven just until melted. Serve warm.

When Jake ate it he said he felt like he needed to dip it in something, like ketchup or salsa. It could have been because maybe I overcooked it? But you can add whatever you want!

Breakfast Burritos

Blake's request Saturday morning was breakfast burritos! We are trying to eat all the food we have in this house before we leave in 11 days!! :) So we got to use some of our sausage, eggs, bacon, and tortillas.

BREAKFAST BURRITOS

Ingredients

Eggs
Sausage

Bacon

Cheese

Tortillas

Ketchup or Salsa

Etc. :)

I just cook the bacon, sausage, and eggs. Then add cheese to the eggs. Cook the tortillas (or if you have pre-cooked than you can warm those up, or eat it cold.) Fill them with everything, and then add ketchup or salsa over top. You could add more things like: hashbrowns, peppers, etc. Make it how you like it! :) 

Belgian Waffles

Not the most flattering picture of me, but mom insists that we include ourselves in the pictures haha. And yes, we had breakfast for Sunday dinner.

2 1/2 cups milk
2 yellow egg yolks
stir with fork

In a separate bowl beat until fluffy white:
2 egg whites
2 Tbsp. oil

Fold into above mixture.
Pour onto waffle griddle and enjoy!!

German Pancakes

This morning I asked Blake what he wanted for breakfast, because he usually gets to choose every morning. Today though, was different. I got up at 7 to be to Zumba at 8; no one showed up. Ha, I should be embarrassed, but I'm not. I don't blame people for sleeping in on Saturdays. I went home and was going to go back to bed for an hour and then be at Curves to teach a 9:30 class. Instead I decided to spiff up our apartment. It was not the least bit dirty (or at least what dirty is like here) but there were just a few dishes that needed to be put away, a few dishes that needed to be washed, a blanket not folded, and just a few other things that could be put where they belonged. So, when I got home from Curves at 10:45... poor Blake hadn't eaten anything yet. I asked him, and then immediately suggested german pancakes, because they are not hard at all to clean up. (Basically, no grease to clean up) He was okay with my suggestion.... i think. Ha, so today he had german pancakes! After, I started feeling a little bit bad that I had chosen for him, so I made a smoothie to go with it to make it up to him.

German Pancakes

German Pancakes

2 Tablespoons butter

1/2 cup milk

1/2 cup flour

3 eggs

1/4 teaspoon salt

Melt the butter in a 9x13 pan in the oven that is set at 400 degrees. Mix all the ingredients together, then pour on top of the melted butter. Bake at 400 degrees for 18-22 minutes or until golden brown. add toppings of your choice. (Blake puts powdered sugar, then jam, then syrup :) )

(This recipe can also be baked in an 8x8 pan, or you can also double it and bake in the 9x13 pan, but it comes out a little bit thinner if you follow how we did it. Blake prefers it like this.)

Choc.Chip Banana Bread/ Muffins

1/2 Cup Sugar
1/2 Cup Shortening
2 Eggs
4 Large, ripe bananas
4 T. Sour Cream
2 Cups Flour
1 tsp. Soda
1 tsp. Salt
1 Cup Choc. Chips

Mix all wet ingredients and then add dry. Bake at 350 for 1 hour if using large bread pan. If using mini bake for 40 mins. Muffins bake for 18-23 mins. Enjoy!

T's Healthy Smoothie -- Blake's Eggs' in Holes'

Okay fam, I'm starting to think this is my blog! I am the ONLY one posting things! Come on! I know you all have lives, but I get on here constantly to check if anyone has posted anything! So the first person to post a recipe might just be my favorite for a while! :) Guys... this whole blog thing might just take up my whole life. I have SO much to do today! I just got done at Curves and at the school..(Just found out I got a 4.0 my document formatting class, so happy because I won't have to retake it.) :) and guess what!? I have a visitor coming today, and it just happens to be one of my bestest friends! Yes, Britni Pena is coming to my apartment TODAY! You guys should feel a little bad, because a lot of you guys haven't even come see me! :) Haha, totally just joking! I love you all and don't blame you for making the LONG drive! But I am absolutely thrilled that Brit and Andrew are coming to stay with us. They were going to stay until Sunday, but Andrew's grandma passed away :( and the funeral is on Saturday, so we only get to see them for about a day. Andrew is going to come try playing with Blake's basketball team! I am so excited! Anyways, so back to me having so much to do, I have to clean a very messy, cluttery, stinky (we have neighbors that smoke and it somehow gets in here) house. I also have not visit taught this month, so I might just have to whip up a treat to take to them. I also have to teach dance tonight! (What am I doing on the computer!?) I knew I shouldn't post breakfast this morning, because frankly I have 0 time, but I knew if I didn't I wouldn't be able to stop thinking about it. Yes, this blog has taken over my life! :) So usually, I hate getting out of bed, no nothing has changed since I got married, but today I was excited because I had to take the extra time to take pictures for the blog. Therefore, I got up about half an hour earlier! :) I am selfish, and I always have to eat something before I start on Blake's breakfast. I am usually always craving an apple when I wake up, so that's the first thing I ate, and then I made myself a smoothie! I love smoothies!! I couldn't eat my whole: eggs, or egg sandwich, with my smoothie, because if I go to Curves too full I don't feel too well while working out. So an apple and smoothie had to do this morning.

T's Healthy Smoothie

INGREDIENTS

1 yogurt (I had a strawberry-banana 4 oz activia! :))

fresh or frozen fruit (I used frozen strawberries and a fresh banana to go with my yogurt)

flaxseed (optional)

spinach (optional)

Put in a blender all together, and it makes a yummy, healthy smoothie! I would've used spinach, but didn't have any. At first the sound of spinach in my smoothie scared me, but it really is good, and a good way to get more vegtables in your diet! :)

Blake's Eggs' in Holes'

INGREDIENTS

1-3 tablespoons of butter

3 slices of bread with the middle cut out

3 eggs

3-6 slices of bacon (I used 3, but wish I would've done more. Blake likes bacon!)

salt and pepper

shredded cheese

*First off I put my bacon on the griddle

* Then I cut the holes out of my bread. The size of that measuring cup was perfect, but you could also use a glass cup or something of that sort. :)

*Then I put butter on the other side of the griddle; to prepare for my toast

* I then layed the three toast in the butter and cracked an egg in each hole. (Make sure the pan or griddle is hot) then salt and pepper the eggs. I also put a fork in the eggs, because Blake likes it better that way; but you don't have to.

*I then let them cook a while, and also keep an eye on the bacon, then flip the toast over.

*Then I put the put the bacon and chesse on, and let the cheese melt while the other side of the toast is cooking.

 * Blake got out the syrup to put on! Ha, needs a little sugar to top it off! :) But first, I made him take a bit, so I could get the picture of the egg in side.  

 Blake and his drenched eggs' in holes' and strawberry milk! :) I L.O.V.E him! :)

Also, don't mind our pictures! I have wanted a nice camera since we got married, but even more now that I started taking pictures of food! :) Also, Blake is my editor and goes through all my spelling and grammar mistakes; there are a lot. :) He is at school though, so sorry if it doesn't make very much sense. :) Love you all! Can't wait for your recipes to get up here! ;) 

Blake's Request

So breakfast is a VERY important meal to me. :) I eat eggs almost every morning, and I enjoy sending Blake off to school with a lot of food in his stomach. Since marrying me, he has learned that I LIKE to make him food, and it's not a burden for me. It took him a while to get used to asking me to make him something, because at first he almost felt bad for putting me to work in the kitchen. I love it though! So Blake will get in these moods where he'll want the same thing for breakfast for a couple days in a row before he'll want something else. Ha, it's kinda cute! :) So this was his request last Thursday......

 And Friday! Isn't he just adorable...don't tell him I posted this picture! He would just die!

So basically this meal is

* 3 scrambled eggs, with a bit of milk, and of course salt and pepper! I don't know how to make "pretty eggs" so if someone could please post some tips, I would be SO grateful.

* Some bacon strips

* Three french toast. I just mix one or two eggs together, with some milk, and cinnamon. You probably can't tell, but the first day I used Blakes white bread, but I ran out by Friday so Blake had to eat my whole wheat, 40 calories per slice bread! :( Sorry Blake. Then it was all Blake's idea for fresh sliced strawberries with whip cream. Blake takes almost as much pride in his food as I do. Then Blake's strawberry milk that he drinks in the mornings! :)
