Disney's Caramel French Toast


Caramel Sauce:

4 tbs butter
½ cup brown sugar
¼ cup heavy cream

Vanilla Sauce:

2 egg yolks
2 tsp vanilla
2 tbs sugar
1 cup milk

French Toast

1 jumbo egg
1 cup whole milk
¼ tsp vanilla extract
8 pieces Texas Toast style bread

Make caramel sauce: Melt butter in a small saucepan over med heat. Add brown sugar & mix well. Add cream and bring to a simmer. Keep warm until needed.

Make vanilla sauce: whisk yolks and sugar into small bowl. In saucepan bring milk and vanilla to a low boil and remove from heat. Add a little of the heated milk to egg mixture to temper it, then add egg mixture to heated milk. Simmer over med heat for a few minutes, stirring constantly, until lightly thickened, but do not boil. Transfer to a bowl and set aside in an ice bath.

In a shallow bowl, beat together egg, milk and vanilla extract. Heat skillet, melt butter on skillet. One at a time, dip the bread slices into the milk mixture and place on skillet. Evenly brown both sides of bread. Transfer to a plate and spread a spoonful or two of vanilla sauce on 4 slices. Top each with a second piece to create sandwiches. Cut each sandwich in half diagonally. Cover each with a couple of spoonfuls of warm caramel sauce. Serve warm.


I've used that caramel sauce for other things, it's nice over ice cream. There are times I've made this and was too lazy to make the vanilla sauce to go inside. I've just done the quick caramel over the French toast, and it still tastes great. This is one of my husband's favorites.

Blue Bayou Monte Cristo Sandwich
Disneyland


1 egg
1 ¾ cups plus two tbs water
1 ¾ cups flour
¾ tsp salt
1 tsp baking powder
8 slices egg bread (or texas toast)
slices of ham, turkey and swiss cheese
3 cups oil

Line a cookie sheet with paper towels and set aside. To make the batter, whisk egg and water together into a bowl. Add flour, salt and baking powder and whisk thoroughly, scraping sides of bowl. Continue to whisk until smooth (20 min.) On one slice of bread arrange a slice each of ham, turkey and cheese, covering the bread evenly. Place another slice of bread on top and slice sandwich in half diagonally. Heat oil in a 10 inch frying pan or fryer to 365 to 375 degrees. Do not let the oil reach a higher temperature than this; if the oil starts to smoke, reduce heat.

Dip half of a sandwich into the batter, allowing excess to drain, and very carefully place into the oil. Repeat with the other sandwich half. Cook for 3 minutes on each side. Place the cooked sandwich onto the prepared cookie sheet in a warm oven until ready to serve. Repeat with other three sandwiches. Cook the sandwiches one at a time and allow the oil to reach the desired temperature between batches. Sprinkle sandwiches lightly with powdered sugar and serve with blackberry, raspberry or strawberry preserves on the side. Serve warm.

These are the very best Snickerdoodles I have ever tasted. I have seen other recipes for Snickerdoodles, but they have ingredients in it like cream of tartar. WTF? Why? This recipe is much simpler, and soooo good. One thing I like about it is that you usually have these items on hand all the time.



I have posted this recipe on other message boards, and people rave over it.




Snickerdoodles



1 cup butter
1 ½ cup sugar
2 ¾ cup flour
2 eggs
1 ½ tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt
cinnamon & sugar mixture


Mix butter, sugar and eggs. Add remaining ingredients, mix. Roll dough into balls and roll balls into cinnamon and sugar mixture. Bake on ungreased cookie sheet at 400 degrees until light brown, about 10 min.

I love to make this recipe for overnight company, and it makes a great Christmas morning recipe, because you put it together the night before, then you just slide it in the oven the next morning. This is another recipe that guests rave over. So simple, and the toast gets a nice, crisp edge to it. So delicious.

The original recipe said to use sliced French bread, but I've found that the Texas toast makes it come out much nicer. The French bread tends to have a thick, unmanagable crust once it's done.



Overnight Oven French Toast



¼ cup butter or margarine
7 large eggs
2 cups milk
1/3 cup sugar
¼ tsp nutmeg
¼ tsp salt
1 ½ tsp vanilla
1 French bread loaf, cut into 1 inch slices, or Texas Toast
powdered sugar


Spray pan with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Pour melted butter into bottom of pan to coat.
Beat next 7 ingredients together well. Dip both sides of each bread slice into egg mixture. Lay in baking sheet. Pour any remaining mixture over slices. Cover and refrigerate overnight. (Can also be frozen at this point)

Uncover and bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes.
Dust with powdered sugar. Serve with syrup.


Oh, one more thing: if you've ever seen me, I'm "fluffy". I believe life is too short to be on a constant diet. My doc says my weight is fine, my BP and cholestrol are also good (as are hubby's!) so I don't fuss with low fat/low salt/low cal crap.

I say that because I saw Alton Brown's show on French Toast, he said to make it taste better, use heavy cream instead of the milk. The toast will come out more custardy. So when I do it, I use 2 cups of cream instead of the milk.

Disney's Animal Kindgom Frunch

1 ½ cups mango juice
½ cup pineapple concentrate, thawed
½ cup lemonade concentrate, thawed
2 cups orange juice
3 cups water
4 tbs grenadine

Mix all ingredients together. Serve over ice. Serves 8.


I find that If you buy two cans of the mango nectar, one can of each concentrate juice, and one carton of orange juice, you will have enough to make two batches, with some left over!

[Jack'sGirl]

This is one of my family's favorite recipes. We've made it for probably 15 years or more. I have doubled it with a larger pan, and it turns out well that way too. Truthfully? This is a recipe that you don't have to follow precisely. In fact, I mostly eyeball the ingredients. The original recipe said to thaw the potatoes first, but I forgot to do it once and it didn't make a difference, so I don't bother. You can use either the cubed potaoes or the shredded ones, I've done both.



Breakfast Pizza


1 lb sausage
1 cup hash brown potatoes (Oâ??Brien adds color/flavor)
5 eggs
1 cup shredded cheese
(cheddar, jack, mozzarella, etc., your choice)
milk
1 can crescent rolls
salt, pepper, seasoning salt to taste

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Open crescent rolls; unroll each roll, line bottom of 9 x 12 pan. Brown sausage. Sprinkle cooked sausage onto crescent rolls. Beat eggs and milk with salt, seasoning salt and pepper. Sprinkle potatoes over sausage. Pour eggs over sausage and potatoes. Sprinkle cheese on top.

Bake for 1 hour.

Friendship Tea

2 cups Tang
1 cup sugar
1 cup lemonade drink mix
½ cup instant lemon tea
2 tsp cinnamon


Mix together and store in an airtight container. Use 3 tsp to 1 cup boiling water.

We use this when we have a cold or flu. Even my hubby, who hates tea, will drink this when he's sick. It's delicious!

[Jack'sGirl]

Gooey Butter Cake

1 package yellow cake mix
1 stick butter or margarine
1 egg
1 tbs water

1 box (16oz) powdered/confectioners sugar
1 8oz package cream cheese, softened
2 eggs


Preheat oven to 350 degrees. With mixer in a large mixing bowl, mix cake mix, butter or margarine, 1 egg and water. Spread into a greased 9 x 13â?� pan (you can use a larger pan too â?? a lasagna size pan is more like 10 x 15 and it works well too.)

On medium speed, mix powdered sugar, cream cheese and two eggs until well blended. Pour over cake.

Bake for 45 to 50 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature, for breakfast coffee cake or dessert.


The first layer is very dry, not a cake batter consistency. This is ok! The cake is so moist that you swear there is some kind of fruit in it. I've done it as a pineapple upside down cake, and I've also added fresh strawberries on the bottom layer. Delicious!

One thing you have to remember: this is so sugary and sweet, if you have someone with blood sugar problems, make sure they eat well before having a piece. My husband does, and he will get an instant headache if he eats it on an empty stomach.

Overnight Oatmeal

By Alton Brown (but tweaked by KC!)

1 cup steel cut oats (also known as pinhead oats)
4 cups water
½ cup heavy cream

Optional: 2 cups dried fruit


In a crock-pot, combine all ingredients and set to low heat. Cover and let cook for 8-9 hours.

Stir and remove to serving bowls. This method works best if started before you go to bed. This way your oatmeal will be finished by morning. Serves 4-5.


When Alton Brown makes this, he uses dried fruit in it. We tried that, and it came out a gross, glopped mess. We took out the fruit, and I used cream instead of half and half. Tastes better that way! My picky child who hates everything likes this recipe. And steel cut oats are really good for you. It's fun to wake up to breakfast!

[Jack'sGirl]

Disney Stuffed French Toast


2 cups flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 ½ cups water
2 eggs
Vegetable oil for frying
3 4-inch cheese Danish, cut into half or quarters
Powdered sugar


In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, eggs and water. In a frying pan (or electric skillet) heat the oil to 365 degrees. Dip the cheese Danish pieces into batter and carefully place them into the heated oil. Fry both sides until golden brown. Remove the pieces from the oil and pat them dry with a paper towel or on a cooling rack lined with paper towels. Place in warmed oven to keep heated while making the rest of the French toast. Dust with powdered sugar; serve with maple syrup, berry syrup, or fruit compote and whipped cream. Serves 6.

This recipe will make your kitchen smell like a bakery! Yum!

Disney Tropical Fruit Caesar Salad


For the fruit salad:

1 mango 1 star fruit
1 papaya 1 cup strawberries
½ pineapple, or 1 can pineapple chunks, drained
2 kiwi fruit

For the garnish:

1 cup coconut flakes 1/3 cup unsalted butter
1 8oz pound cake 1 tbs mint leaves, finely chopped
zest of 1 lemon

For the dressing:

1 ¼ cup chopped white chocolate 1/8 tsp vanilla
zest of 2 oranges 1 tsp poppy seeds
juice of 2 oranges
1 ¼ cups heavy cream, room temperature

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cut all the fruit into medium sized pieces and mix in a large bowl. Refrigerate until needed.

Place coconut flakes on an ungreased baking sheet and toast in oven, stirring twice, until golden brown (4-8 min). Remove from oven and set aside to cool. Leave oven at 350 degrees.

To make croutons, cut pound cake into ½ inch cubes. Place lemon zest and butter in a medium saucepan and cook over low heat until butter melts; remove from heat. Add cake cubes and stir until well-coated. Place croutons on an ungreased baking sheet and bake, stirring twice, until golden brown (12 to 15 minutes). Sprinkle with mint and set aside.

Melt white chocolate in a double boiler or microwave. Add the remaining ingredients and stir until thoroughly mixed. Let cool to room temperature.

When cooled, add the dressing to the salad ½ cup at a time and toss, until you have the desired amount. Portion fruit salad onto six plates or bowls. Garnish with croutons, then sprinkle with coconut flakes and serve.


This makes a pretty impressive fruit salad. It does take awhile to make, but it's good. I left out the mint, as hubby hates it. Also left out the poppy seeds, as we have allergies in the family. Still turned out great.

[Jack'sGirl]

Jack's girl show us how to do the BBQ ribs!!!!!



"One thing I do in there is my BBQ ribs. They get a dry rub the night before, then I slow cook them all day in beer. I take them out and brush them with homemade BBQ sauce, then either put them on the grill for a few minutes, or under the broiler. Then I serve with extra BBQ sauce. I swear, my guys will no longer order ribs out anymore. Hubby gets mad because he has to struggle to get the meat off the bones elsewhere, whereas mine just fall off the bone."

[Jack'sGirl]

3 cups milk
½ tsp Kosher salt
¼ tsp white pepper
1 cup shredder Tillamook Cheddar Cheese

1 cup bleu cheese, crumbled
½ cup Panko Japanese Bread Crumbs

Preheat oven to 375

Add Tillamook cheese and stir until evenly combined. Pour sauce over cooked pasta, stir to coat and place in an oven safe dish.

Combine crumbled bleu cheese and Panko bread crumbs and top the pasta and cheese sauce. Bake for approx 30 minutes. Center should be hot and the topping should be golden brown.


This recipe called for something called Maytag Bleu cheese, and I couldn't find it ANYWHERE. So I just used regular Bleu cheese, and it worked fine!

Fresh, cayenne peppers. Got a ton. Other than the obvious, dry them out and grind them or make into pepper sauce..you got any ideas? I'm covered up, dahlings!
Thanky!
Tallu
XOXO

[Dixie Girl]

I love to stick them in oil with assorted herbs, sometimes add some babies breath to it as well, and put them into decorative bottles and give to friends...they look awesome as kitchen decorations.
If you boil them in a small amount of vinegar/oil, (VERY small) for about 1 minute or so, along with your other herbs, it also gives fresh sandwiches a nice bite to a vinaigrette to put on sandwiches for those who don't like things too spicy.
I also fried some this week with cabbage and Italian sausage lol--I simply fried the sausage with the peppers to spice it up (they fry away into nothing) and then fry the cabbage in the oil...my patient liked it.

[Cataroo]

I don't know if anything here will help, but it might be a start:

Dahling!

Right now I'd like to dump half a pound of it in cookie batter for some of my anal coworkers.

I can dream, can't I?

[lolly89]

Whats a ca...yenn..ne pepp...ers??? Cant cook anything worth a damn more than Veg soup or Stovies (Trad Scottish dish which is SOOOOO yum with puff pastry) sorry ma honey!

[MbalmR]

I'm really fired up now. As some of you know, I'm limping through a "Death Hags Cook" recipe book. The latest additions are inspiring. I need more "on the slab" recipes involving beef! Keep 'em coming!

[Dixie Girl]

MBalmR, no offense, but reading your post made me think of a great cookbook title guaranteed to get people to think twice!
""You Stab 'Em, I'll Slab "Em--a Mortician's Guide to Beef Done right."
*giggles*

[TallulahDahling]

Found this:
http://www.portuguese-recipes.com/Piri-Piri%20Sauce.htm

Would make a nice marinade or dipping sauce.

Grilling? What's your pleasure, dahling?

[buddyhollylover]

i should know this but i'm not sure...

i'm making a pot of chicken pot pie soup, and it calls for heavy cream.
i have heavy 'whipping' cream, is that the same thing? can i use that?

my mil said yeah but i was wondering if anyone else would know

thanks ~ lisa

[scott69]

No that will not work....

[John Connor]

Heavy whipping cream is heavy cream. It generally has a fat content between 36-42% but if you use a light whipping cream it doesn't make much difference.

[Jack-O-Lantern]

It is the same thing.

[MissJames]

same thing..... I love heavy cream...with everything..lol

[pattykad]

I made a soup from a Cooking Light Magazine recipe and it
called for a can of condensed milk. It is a lower fat/calorie
option for soups.

Do you have a sure-fire recipe you want to share? Are you desperate for a good brownie recipe for that bake sale next week? Post your recipes here, or request a recipe from your fellow "foodie" Hags!

I'll start the ball rolling with my mother-in-law's potato salad recipe (sorry, onehunglow). Note: no self-respecting German I know would pollute their potato salad with mayonnaise. This is a vinegar-based one.

Potato Salad:

8 medium potatoes (not Russet)
1 medium onion, diced small
1 cup hot chicken broth (can substitute vegetable broth for vegetarian)
2 Tbsp. cider vinegar (I usually use 4 tbsp. or more, do to taste)
4 Tbsp. oil
1 tsp. salt + 1/4 tsp. pepper (I usually use a lot more of both, to taste)
Fresh chives or parsley

Boil potatoes, remove water and cool covered for 2 hours. Peel and slice very thin. Pour hot broth over diced onions, let stand for 10 minutes. Mix salt, pepper, vinegar and oil, then pour over sliced potatoes. Stir carefully, so as to not break potato slices too much. Add chives or parsley. Taste for salt and vinegar. If it's too strong, add some boiling water to dilute.

Guten Appetit!

I love this thread! I have a great brownie recipe but I don't dare post it here because it might get me in trouble.

I too would like the rib recipe. Never cooked them but have woofed a few down in my time.

No, it's not the sweetened condensed milk, it's just condensed

Mock Lasagne

This is so easy to throw together on a weeknight.

1- 30oz package square cheese ravioli (do not use the round ones, they don't work)
1 lb ground beef or turkey
1 - 28oz jar of your favorite sauce (or use your own)
8 oz shredded mozzarella cheese

Brown the meat and add sauce
Preheat oven to 375 degrees
Layer sauce, 12 ravioli, then mozzarella cheese in a 2 qt casserole dish
repeat until you have used all the ravioli
Cover with foil and bake for 1 hour
Uncover and top with remaining mozzarella cheese (and some parm cheese if you like, hubby doesn't like it)
Bake for 5 minutes more or until cheese is melted
Let stand about 15 minutes before serving

I bake it on a cookie sheet in case of any spillovers.

It tastes just like lasange but it's much less work.

[pvezz]

I haven't had ribs since mortuary school, but I'd sure like to try those ribs, Jack's Girl! Please post!

Yes, please do!

My husband has been trying to cook the perfect rib for weeks now. I don't eat them, but I'm sure he'd love to try your recipe!

[scott69]

This is the easiest and most delicious Lasagna. I also use the sauce for my spagetti.

Ingredients:
1 lb. ground beef
1 onion, chopped (or pureed, if you have a 10 year old who won't eat them!)
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 cans tomato sauce (14 oz cans)
2 tbsp. sugar
2 tbsp. olive oil
2 bay leaves
1 tsp. oregano
1/2 tsp. basil
garlic pepper to taste
mozzarella cheese, shredded
No cook lasagna noodles
cottage cheese

Brown meat in oil. Add onion & garlic when meat is almost brown. Add tomato sauce & spices. Simmer 30 minutes for spagetti sauce or 40 minutes if you're making lasagna. Take a square pyrex dish. Alternate layers of sauce & noodles. Top with cottage cheese & mozzarella. Bake 30 minutes @ 350!
