stacked, stuffed, and loaded french toast.

stacked, stuffed, and loaded french toast
strawberry cheesecake version

texas toast.
8 eggs or so.
cup of milk.
1/4 t. of almond extract.
make as typical french toast

filling.
1 pkg of cream cheese.
1/4 cup of powdered sugar.
1/8 - 1/4 c. milk.
blend with beaters. be careful as it will splatter.

fresh cut strawberries.
fresh cut bananas.
homade heavy whipping crm, with sugar added.

stack toast, "frost" heavily with cream cheese filling.
layer bananas.
add more filling.
stack another toast. place a good handful of strawberries
on top. garnish with a healthy dollop of heavy whipping cream.

stacked and loaded for sure. woof. deliscous and filling. loaded.

this is my recipe and my take i guess you would say. we tried
cheesecake pancakes at ihop yesterday or so. they were nothing
special and instead they were blah...sugar. so i though i would
make a syrupless french toast. that is exactly what this is and it
is so good. the fresh strawberries (or any fruit) keeps it from
getting soggy and the sandwich effect of the stacking allows for
good dispersment of the cream cheese. the egg toasted bread allows
for good plate standing time without sog. it is beautiful and
appealing, but difficult to manage, so in the eating it becomes
not so beautiful. lol enjoy
yum yum-k

mexican rice

well today is mexican rice. it was supposed to be texas sheet cake too, but i suppose that will have to wait until tomarrow. we tore the house apart, it was already so, but we worked on cleaning ceilings, fans, laundry, dishes, floors etc. a lot more work yet to do. i just cant wait until it is done, the deep cleaning and then i will have more time to cook~!!!!! so the mexican rice calls for a lb of hamb browned, with taco seasoning and the water that calls for. add one can drained black beans and corn and tomatoes if you like. then top with shredded cheddar served over rice. this is healthy, easy and frugal.
so.....
katies take.....
use what ya have.
1 1/2 c. brown rice cooked in the stewed juice
1 quart home stewed tomatoes
1 lb browned hamburger
3 cans of sante fe corn
1 can of northern beans
1/2 orange pepper diced
and the taco seasoning

cook rice in juice, add veg and legume. brown burger and seasoning and pepper. combine. this makes a casarole of sorts.

how i would prefer to serve it. would be A: a soup. mexican style type chili
B: as a burito. dry it up with a little more rice, use more seasoning, mild and hot packets instead of the sams value brand which tends to be a little mild and or heat it up with some chili powder and fresh ground red pepper. serve in soft taco shells with sour cream and shredded cheese. the wonderful thing about this dish is that it is cheap and it is easy. it is also easy to alter to your specific families tastes. i would add some green onion too as a garnish, but mike doesnt like them. we did talk about putting sliced black olives on it. this really reminded me of a taco salad... and mixing the rice in the dish makes it easier to serve and less dishes.

yum yum -k

a friend says about her life: about her life in dealing with A.T. life is not about the storm, but it IS about learning to dance in the rain.

Ataxia Telangiectasia

National instituat of neurologic disorders and stroke. from NATIONAL INSTITUTES OF HEALTH. please check out the A.T. section of this so you can know why i am going to the effort of doing a blog. Again i am a mom who has a friend with a child with A.T. and it has changed who i am though i believe she doesnt quite know that. i am a mom of three little ones and i have lost my job. i have a provider for a husband, though we have had some rough times as of recent. i have been going to the food pantry for a year now and go to some other food distribution sources. i am on WIC and i get food stamps. so my recipes wont be fancy but they will be sumptuous and palatable. i am doing something i have to do anyways and i am doing something i love to do. i am just making a twist to that in that i am comitting to make new recipes which i never do :) . i am going to try to go outside my comfort zone and learn more about what i love. food and children. i am going to learn more about what i can do to help "M". if this is all i can do to help then this is what i can do. i will pray and try to put a face on this disease and i will try to raise some money in the long run. i plan on creating a A.T. fundraiser cookbook. katies kitchen blogspot. thanks for viewing. for the future. k

the inspiration

Well. this is a blog for A.T. I have a friend who has a son with A.T. More information on that to come. I am going to do 7 new recipies a week for my family and friends with trying to spend less than $50 a week. so this is not very polished. but it will get better. so i am trying new recipies and i will be trying my renditions of it as well. so i will do this for a undetermined abount of time.... and then at the end i plan to do a cook book and sell it for a fundraiser for A.T. any ideas.
