A Marvelous Make-Ahead Breakfast For Your Holiday Gatherings!

Have you ever just wanted to take a break from the typical eggs, bacon, and toast breakfast? I know that I do! Sometimes I prefer something on the sweeter side like pancakes or waffles. But, then again, those are also very common breakfast foods. There are days when I’m craving something new and exciting, maybe even something, French! That’s when I discovered this awesome cinnamon raisin French toast with apple filling, over at Recipe Girl.

These tasty little morning-time treats are packed with apples and sweet, plump raisins. Yummy! The dish is prepared the night before, so this is a great make-ahead breakfast for the holidays. In addition to tasting heavenly, this French toast looks amazing. You might even say it’s too pretty to eat, but hey, let’s not talk crazy here, haha! I like how easy this breakfast is to make and you will, too. Enjoy!

Fill Your Belly With This Stuffing That Will Make You Want To Slap Your Momma

Raise your hand if your favorite thing about Thanksgiving is the food? I bet there are like a gazillion hands raised right about now.

The traditional Thanksgiving spread is probably one of the most notable dinners in the USA. From the turkey to the sweet potatoes, you truly get a little dose of food heaven. Plus, you fall into a nice food coma afterward. I think my favorite part of the Thanksgiving dinner would be the stuffing. I love it! This recipe is for sausage stuffing that is truly delectable.

I have made this stuffing for weeknight meals in addition to holiday spread as well and everyone in my family loves it. It’s one of the recipes that you just can’t go wrong with. Give it a shot. I know you and yours will be head over heels about it. I will definitely be making this sausage stuffing time and time again and not just on the holidays!

Our friends over at Passionate Pastry say it all about this cake:

“Don’t you love a moist, comforting dessert that tastes better the second and third day? Especially when the dessert makes enough for 12 people? A dessert that comes from years and years of tried and true baking with love in a Mother’s kitchen?”

Yes. Yes, we do!

Quick Tip: I find that Granny Smith apples work best in this recipe.

Dutch Apple Pie has been an American favorite for years. Oh, the irony! From its flaky crust to the crumbly topping that fills your mouth with flavor, this pie is a must-have at any holiday dinner, event, or as an after-supper treat. In fact, after your friends and family sample it, they’ll be begging you for the recipe. Maybe you’ll just keep as your little secret.

If you’ve got some extra apples laying around, grab those babies up and toss ‘em into a flaky pie shell. Our family likes to use a mixture of Granny smith and Macintosh apples. Dutch Apple Pie only takes about 60-minutes to throw together. Soon, you’ll have a delicious slice sitting on your plate waiting to make its way into your belly. Yum!

Your slow cooker is not just for stews, they can be used for desserts too.

An apple a day keeps the doctor away. This recipe is an awesome toothsome dessert that no one can refuse. The nutrition that you can get from the apple plus the awesomely sweet twist is something worth sharing.

“If you’ve never made apple crisp before, there is definitely no time like the present. It’s sweet, it’s spiced, and can be served satisfyingly warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream on top. This is seriously one of my favorite desserts, and I think you’ll agree with me after tasting this slow cooker apple crisp recipe!” According to Jacqui of DishingDelish.com

Heaven On Earth! That’s What This Is!

This Caramel Apple Shortbread Crumble features a great mix of textures as well as the classically delicious sweet and sour combo. You’ll want to make this delicious dessert all year ’round!

It is a special treat that will make your friends or family members ask for the recipe every single time you decide to serve this for a special occasion. I am normally wary of using Granny Smiths in anything, but they turn out so nicely in this recipe. Sweet and sour, it turns out, isn’t just for main dishes; it can work great for desserts, too. Also, I find Granny Smith apples to be far crisper than other varieties. I enjoy a little crunch in my dessert. And we all know how delicious these kind of apple desserts are, when served warm with a scoop of ice cream!

But you know what my favorite with apple desserts is? It’s not ice cream or whipped cream… it’s vanilla sauce! However, this crumble doesn’t really need anything to go with it, it’s absolutely divine on its own.
