Breakfast Recipes...

Now this is sooooo good. I have made it for breakfast the last 2 Sunday mornings. Cinnamon Baked French Toast...it is so good and easy.....very, very good :)

For some reason I fealling like I needed to be a good, nice mom and make my kids Funnel Cakes for breakfast. They were a huge hit and there were none left over. I sprinkled them with powdered sugar and served them with warm raspberry preserves :) MMMMM....yummo!!

Now...a few weeks ago I was able to attend a Taste of Home cooking school here in Elko. It was a lot of fun and they gave everyone a Taste of Home Cooking School Magazine with lots of new recipes. This is one of them that I could not wait to try... Jimmy Dean Maple Breakfast Casserole.

1 package Maple Flavor Jimmy Dean Pork Sausage
10 eggs, lightly beaten
3 cups milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups (2 large) Golden Deliciouse apples, peeled and chopped
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
6 cups cubed bread
8 oz (2 cups) shredded mild cheddar cheese

1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. In a large skillet, cook sausage over medium-high heat, stirring frequently until throughly cooked and no longer pink.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine beaten eggs with milk and vanilla; stir well. In a small bowl, toss apples with sugar and cinnamon.
3. Distribute half the bread evenly in buttered 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish. Sprinkle with half the sausage, half the apples and half the cheese. Repeat layering using remaining bread, sausage, apples, and cheese. Pour egg mixture evenly over the casserole.
4. Bake uncovered for 55-60 minutes, or until eggs are set. Tent with foil if top begins to brown too quickly.

Editor's Note: The casserole may be assembled ahead and refrigerated up to 12 hours before baking.

Oh yes...I also made Raspberry-Filled Poppyseed Muffins...they too are really yummy and kid approved (atleast in this house) :)

All these breakfast recipes have been tried and will defineately be made again, and again, and again :)
