Eggnog French Toast

November 28, 2019 by Debbie 7 Comments

Eggnog French Toast is a holiday twist on a plain breakfast. Eggnog truly is the taste of Christmas and making french toast with it is not only delicious but easy. When serving a crowd this is an easy recipe to whip up that will impress your family and friends. Serve this drizzled with Buttermilk Bourbon Syrup and a Peppermint Mocha you will be at rock star status and nobody had to get up at 5 am to cook breakfast. That’s what I’m talking about since I am not a morning person and I do NOTHING before a cup of coffee touches my soul.

Buttermilk Bourbon Syrup

November 28, 2019 by Debbie Leave a Comment

A few years ago I tried buttermilk syrup and fell in love, I never looked at maple syrup the same. This Buttermilk Bourbon Syrup I spiced up for the holidays and to go with my Eggnog French Toast ,but this can be used on just about anything. Don’t be scared of the bourbon , it isn’t harsh and the alcohol cooks out. It can be eliminated all together but I love the flavor , it really adds a special touch. This syrup also would be a great addition to my Spiced Pumpkin Apple Pancakes.

Chocolate Peppermint Cake Balls

November 21, 2019 by Debbie Leave a Comment

These Chocolate Peppermint Cake Balls ooze everything I love about Christmas goodies. Dark yummy chocolate and the slight minty flavor that reminds you of candy canes. I remember back in the 1990’s when I first started making cakes balls , it was usually reserved for away to use left over cake. Then everyone started making them just because. Why? Because they are frickin delicious !! Gooey yummy cake drenched with frosting in the center rolled in a ball , then coated with chocolate . I have learned a lot of tricks along the way to make these so much easier than I did back then . One of the best things I have discovered is Bada Bing Bada Boom Gourmet Chocolate from Chocoley. This is the easiest chocolate I have ever worked with and the best for coating cake balls. It stays smooth and melted , I coated all the cake balls without having to reheat it. I’ll discuss more tips and tricks but if you love chocolate and peppermint check out a few other of my recipes. Peppermint Mocha mix and Double Dark Chocolate Peppermint Cookies are both perfect for the season.

Pumpkin Eggnog Cookies

Apparently eggnog is one of those things that people Hate or Love . How ?? I am in that LOVE category! Once I see the rich creamy eggnog hit the shelves I know the holiday season is right around the corner. These Pumpkin Eggnog Cookies are made from….Pumpkin Eggnog.. if you have never tried it you need to. Although I love it ,I have had many baking failures with it.

If you love pumpkin but not eggnog check out my Chocolate Dipped Pumpkin Cookies, another great fall goodies.

Smoked Turkey Breast

October 24, 2019 by Debbie Leave a Comment

We love a good smoked turkey at Thanksgiving but it could take six to eight hours to smoke a whole turkey plus prepping the smoker. My poor husband would have to get up at 4am to have the turkey ready by lunch on Thanksgiving . A Smoked Turkey Breast is our answer to that problem and nobody has to get up at 4am. The small smoked breast is just enough to satisfy everyone. …

Caramel Ganache

This Caramel Ganache is something I have been thinking about making for a long time but I was worried about it thickening up. Recently while doing some other work I discovered the beauty of ice water baths and ganaches. The light bulb went off and I knew what I would be working on. Just so happens I had my hands on a one pound tub of Chocoley Gourmet Caramel. This was the perfect caramel to make this ganache.
