Recipe- French Toast Sticks (Link Up)

Best Blogger Tips
 Our girls just absolutely love French Toast Sticks and I made the mistake a few weeks ago to stop at Arby's and pick up some for our 2 year old. Now every time that we pass a Arby's she starts yelling, "I want my toast sticks!!" So I decided that I would make my own version of French Toast Sticks and see if she noticed!! This recipe calls for a whole loaf of bread, which is a lot of French Toast Sticks. I wanted to be able to freeze a lot of it so that our girls could have them for breakfast for the next week. So you may want to make only half of this recipe if you do not plan on freezing any of it!

What you need:
  • 6 eggs
  • 1 cup of milk
  • 1 teaspoon of vanilla 
  • a loaf of Texas style bread
  • powder sugar
  • cinnamon
  • maple sugar
Mix eggs, milk and vanilla in a bowl- beat ingredients together. Cut bread into 3 pieces per slice of bread. Soak pieces of bread into egg mixture for just a few seconds, long enough to coat entire piece of bread. Spray cookie sheet with cooking oil then places soaked pieces of bread on the cookie sheet. Bake in 350 degree oven for 25-30 minutes. You will need to turn them over half way through. My oven seems to be on it's last limb (so we cook everything longer), so I did cook mine an additional 10-12 minutes to make them a little more crispy. Once they are done sprinkle them with powder sugar or cinnamon and serve with maple syrup!

My 2 year old loves them along with our other 2 girls! Now I just have to make sure that I keep a good freezer stockpile of them since she has eaten them almost every day since!

Chicken Quesadilla Recipe- Link Up!

Best Blogger Tips
Photobucket

We love going to this Mexican Restaurant near our house, but with a family of 5 and with everyone eating larger portions (the girls use to share a meal and the baby would take bits of ours) we spent $60 last time we went. That is a lot of money just for one dinner. So I thought that we would try and recreate their Chicken Quesadilla, chips and salsa, which are our 2 favorite dish there!!

Ingredients....
-1 and a half pound of chicken
-jar of salsa and chips
-seasoning of your choice (i just used a little onion powder and salt and pepper)
-soft floured tortilla shells

Directions.....
-Cook the chicken in water and your salt, pepper and any additional spices you want
-Drain the chicken, keeping a cup of the chicken broth
-Shred the chicken and place it back in the pan with the cup of the chicken broth from the pan and let simmer
-add a cup of salsa to your chicken mix, let simmer about 10 minutes
-in a separate pan, place a shell in the pan, cook about a minute, turn over and fill one side with your chicken mix and top it with your favorite cheese
-fold the shell in half and cook about 45 seconds - 1 minute on each side to get the shell toasted

*****you can add additional items to the chicken mix if you like- onions and tomatoes are in the ones that we get from the restaurant but we normally pick them out, but love the flavor so I had to add more spices to get the same flavor. Salsa is usually loaded with flavor so I thought this would be a great addition!


Here is the finished project, although they were not exactly the same taste as the ones at the restaurant they were very close. My hubby and my girls all said that they were better!!!
