I haven't been very good at keeping up with my blog lately, so shame on me. I 've had good intentions though, to share two recipes with you that our family has enjoyed lately. The first is a yummy french toast recipe I got awhile back from a friend, but had never made. Sounds fancy, but so easy to make. Ben made it for me for Mother's Day and we loved it so much, I quickly knew I would return the favor and make it for him, for Father's Day. So, here it is...SO yummy! It will definitely become one of our favorite breakfast recipes, which is a growing list.
Crème Brulee French Toast
½ cup butter
1 cup packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons corn syrup
1 loaf French bread
5 large eggs
1 ½ cups half and half
1 teaspoon vanilla
¼ teaspoon salt
In a small, heavy saucepan, melt butter, brown sugar and corn syrup over medium heat, stirring until smooth. Pour into greased 9x13 glass pan. Cut bread into thick slices and trim crusts. Arrange slices in one layer in dish, squeezing them slightly to fit. In a bowl, whisk together eggs, half and half, vanilla, and salt and pour evenly over bread. Chill, covered, at least 8 hours and up to 1 day.
Bring bread mixture to room temperature. Bake uncovered at 350 degrees for 35-40 minutes, until puffed and edges are pale golden. Serve with fresh fruit (we used strawberries) and whipping cream.

The next is another easy recipe I got from the mother of a missionary serving in our branch. Kinda weird, I know. But we've become very fond of our missionaries and have them over often for dinner or trampoline jumping. When one, Elder Warr, was about to be transferred to a different area, I asked what he would like as his last meal. He suggested his mom's beef stroganoff. So, I was able to call his mom & get it. It was SO simple, yet so yummy. It will also become a permanent recipe in my collection. Here it is:
Beef Stroganoff
1 lb. hamburger
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1 cup sour cream
1/2 packet dry onion soup mix
1 package egg noodles
Cook hamburger until brown, pour off fat. Add 1/2 packet dry onion soup mix near end of cooking hamburger. Pour in soup and sour cream. Serve over egg noodles.
Told you it was easy!
Here is Elder Warr & Elder Pererya below at their last dinner together.
