Instant Pot Cranberry French Toast

Lolli — Sat, 11 Jan 2020 02:57:17 +0000

The holidays may be over, but I am still enjoying the classic scents and flavors of the winter. In fact, I have a pot of orange, lime, cranberry, and cinnamon stick potpourri simmering on top of my wood stove as we speak.

I had this recipe post all set to share before Christmas, but I’ve been having some pretty major website issues. My site was finally successfully migrated to a new host, and for the first time in months I can upload photos to my site, log in without using a backdoor trick I figured out….it’s a happy day!

Ok, now on to that recipe I wanted to share with you guys over a month ago! Luckily, delicious breakfast recipes don’t have a “season,” right?

Instant Pot Cranberry French Toast

Ingredients

2 cups fresh cranberries
1/4 cup orange juice
1 cup sugar, divided
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp kosher salt, divided
4 tbsp butter, melted
2 cup whole milk
3 large eggs, slightly beaten
zest from 1 large orange
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
1 Loaf of day-old Challah bread, cubed

Directions

1. Spray a 7inch springform pan with nonstick baking spray

2. Cover the bottom with parchment paper

3. Using a medium sauce pan, bring cranberries, orange juice, 1/2 cup sugar, 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon salt to a boil in a saucepan over medium-high heat.

4. Cook until the berries have popped and thickened slightly about 5 minutes. Remove from heat

5. Pour the cranberries into the springform pan

6. In a large bowl, whisk together melted butter and 1/2 cup sugar.

7. Add milk, beaten eggs, orange zest, vanilla, and salt. Mix in cubed bread.

8. Let rest until the bread absorbs the milk, stirring occasionally.

9. Spread bread mixture on top of cranberry sauce in pan.

10. Pour 1 cup water into the pressure cooker pot and place the trivet in the bottom.

11. Cover springform pan with foil and place on top of the trivet.

12. Lock the lid in place. Select High Pressure and set the timer for 25 minutes. When beep sounds, turn off pressure cooker, and do a quick pressure release to release the pressure.

13. When valve drops carefully remove lid.

14. Remove dish from and place onto the counter to cool completely.

15. Top with whipped cream and serve warm. Enjoy!

Thanksgiving Side Dishes – Delicious Dishes Recipe Party #139

Lolli — Tue, 30 Oct 2018 11:01:57 +0000

Although it is exhausting, cooking a huge Thanksgiving dinner for family and friends is something that I look forward to all year long.

I do enjoy the turkey, but it’s really the side dishes and desserts that MAKE the feast. Our Thanksgiving sides have changed as our family has gotten older. Now, we tend to serve Brussels sprouts with bacon and candied yams (which I never liked before!) versus stuffing and green beans. Shocker, I know.

What are your favorite side dishes to serve (and eat!) on Thanksgiving?

Amazing Thanksgiving Appetizers – Delicious Dishes Recipe Party #94

Lolli — Tue, 14 Nov 2017 12:00:10 +0000

Did I tell you guys my exciting news?? If you follow me on Instagram, you’ve probably seen our newest family member, Jax. Jax is a 7-year-old rescue dog and today is his 3 week anniversary of coming home with us. We are thrilled to have him as part of the family. All 72 snuggly pounds of him!

Yes, our new dog has taken up quite a bit of our time and energy the past few weeks. But he’s adjusting well and seems happy in his new home.

Jax is especially interested in ANY action in the kitchen and likes to plop right down in front of the oven whenever I’m cooking, which makes dinner prep very interesting. When I made a recipe for an upcoming blog post last Friday, I had to put the kitchen gate up just so Jax would stay clear of my feet.

Enough about Jax….let’s get down to the real reason you’re here! Welcome to Delicious Dishes Recipe Party! In case you’re new to the party, here’s what you need to know:

Thanksgiving is just around the corner, and I’m both in shock and ecstatic that it’s coming so soon. I look forward to Thanksgiving food ALL YEAR LONG. It really is my favorite dinner of the whole year, and I love that I cook so much that we can eat leftovers for days and days.

This year, I’m extra excited because Thanksgiving also signals a very special event! My husband and I are going on a cruise! I can’t wait to have some away time and relax instead of work-work-work. As much as I LOVE my LuLaRoe business and my blog and my big family, they sure do keep me busy!

Who’s ready for some AMAZING Thanksgiving desserts??

Tips for Frying Turkey (and Chicken)

Lolli — Tue, 08 Nov 2016 20:37:32 +0000

This post is sponsored by Academy Sports + Outdoors®, a premier sports, outdoor and lifestyle retailer of sports and leisure products, footwear, apparel and much more. All thoughts are my own.

I have to admit – I never paid much attention to the turkey frying craze. I was pretty happy with my turkey-cooking skills, thank-you-very-much. Plus, I don’t fry much food to begin with, so the idea of frying an entire turkey seemed a little over-the-top. But…I heard that people were getting amazing results with their fried turkeys, so I kept my mind open.

So when Academy Sports asked if I’d like to try out a turkey fryer, I was curious. And when I saw The Big Easy oil-less turkey fryer from Char-Broil, I was intrigued, to say the least. A fried turkey with no oil? I’m in!

The Big Easy turkey fryer is available online and in store at Academy Sports, and based on my initial experience with it…it’s worth every penny and I would buy it again in a heartbeat!

If you’re a turkey fryer newbie like me, here’s a basic run-down of turkey-fryer options:

Classic gas fryers: These classic turkey fryers are used outdoors, use oil, and run off propane. Immersive heat makes a perfectly cooked, flavored bird with crispy skin and juicy meat.

Electric fryers: Since electric fryers don’t use propane, they can be used indoors. It’s just the electric version of the classic fryer. With built-in temperature controls – electric fryers fry, steam, boil, roast and more.

Oil-free fryers: Without oil, the oil-free fryers technically don’t “fry” turkeys, but they provide a similarly crisp, delicious bird without the oil. They also use propane so must be used outdoors. These use radiant heat to offer less mess and a healthier turkey “frying” option.

Tips for a successful turkey frying experience:

Like I mentioned above, I picked an oil-free turkey fryer, but there are a ton of options for delicious fried turkeys. In general, the following turkey frying tips apply to different types of turkey fryers (except, of course, that tips about the propane tank will not apply to electric turkey fryers). Check this FREE turkey frying eBook for even more tips!

Choose a level surface outdoors away from other objects.
Keep the propane tank as far away from the fryer as possible without causing a tripping hazard.
Prepare your turkey: rinse and then dry thoroughly (pat down with paper towels) and then add spices. Do not stuff your bird.
Insert prepared turkey neck down in the turkey frying basket.
Figure out frying time: For my oil-less fryer, turkey takes about 10 minutes per pound and chicken takes about 15 minutes per pound. When it’s close to the time for your bird to be done, insert a meat thermometer to ensure that the meat has come to a safe temperature.
Turn off the burner before putting the turkey in and taking it out.

Thank goodness I had the handy turkey fryer guide as a resource! Be sure to download yours before you cook your turkey this season!

A couple of things that I learned when I used my turkey fryer for the first time:

It’s hard to find a turkey at the end of October. Who knew? I settled for a seven pound chicken instead to get used to my turkey fryer, which I think was a great choice.
I decided to season my chicken with a simple smokehouse maple seasoning dry rub. All I had to do to prepare my chicken was rinse, dry, and rub it with seasoning. It couldn’t have been easier. And I can tell you that it couldn’t have smelled better than it did while it was cooking! You really don’t have to do much to get a tasty fried turkey.

The basket that holds the bird is more appropriately sized for a turkey, and I followed the directions for placing a turkey inside the basket to be cooked (ie, neck down). While the basket CAN hold all different sizes, shapes, and types of meat, I would have been better off placing my chicken breast-side up in the basket to cook. When the neck-down chicken fell over, it fell breast-side down, which is totally fine, except that the beautifully crisp skin ended up on the “bottom” of the chicken.
My turkey fryer has a wire mesh lid, but the manual actually recommends not using the lid except on cold (under 40°F) or windy days. Using the lid will actually reflect more heat down onto the top of the bird, resulting in a browner, crispier skin (which is not always a bad thing!). I was worried about leaves or squirrels getting in the fryer while the chicken cooked, so I opted to use the lid.

Why I LOVE my Big Easy Oil-Free Turkey Fryer:

If it were only about the taste, I would still give my first turkey frying (or chicken frying) experience a big thumbs up. It was so much easier than I thought it would be, and the meat could not have turned out better!

But I think the best part of having a turkey fryer is the fact that my oven will be free to make pies and rolls on Thanksgiving Day instead of cooking an oven-filling turkey all day long. I am thrilled about the convenience of having a turkey fryer to free up the oven space, but I’m even more excited to have the fried turkey experience without having to use gallons and gallons of oil! This could not have been a better fit for my family.

Which turkey fryer would be the best fit for your family?

Lolli — Tue, 08 Nov 2016 12:00:06 +0000

Life seems to be settling down just a little bit, which means we’re due for a little excitement, don’t you think? (And I am NOT referring to the election!) We do have a little family trip to Hersheypark planned for this coming weekend, a new car to test drive for the week, and a trip for my husband and youngest son to visit family next week.

So basically, I take back the thing about “my life settling down.” I need to resign my self to the happy chaos that is here to stay.

This past weekend was a baking weekend, and my tummy couldn’t be happier. And since the pumpkin cookies that I made fit perfectly with this week’s Thanksgiving theme, I figured I’d drop the recipe here before I get on with the rest of the party. Enjoy!

I’ve also got a fun collection of Thanksgiving recipes and crafts that I’ve written for the Kroger blog. Check out my roasted Brussels sprouts with bacon and onion, sparkling cranberry lime seltzer, a DIY rustic wood flower centerpiece, and a Thanksgiving thankful jar.

Nutella-Cheesecake Crescent Rolls #ItsBakingSeason

Lolli — Thu, 20 Oct 2016 21:33:34 +0000

This recipe for Nutella-Cheesecake Crescent Rolls is sponsored by Pillsbury but all thoughts, opinions and photos are my own. #ItsBakingSeason

I love the holidays.

When I was growing up, holidays meant time with my extended family and some of the best foods ever. My mom, grandma, and all of my aunts would make their most delicious dishes and we would enjoy an amazing feast, regardless of which holiday we were celebrating.

The holidays changed quite a bit for me once I got married and moved across the country from the rest of my family. I still love the foods of the holidays, of course. But now it’s just a bigger challenge because all of the cooking and baking responsibility are on my shoulders.

I don’t want to skimp on all of my favorite holiday dishes, but I’m always on the look-out for recipes that make my holiday cooking easier and less time-intensive. Because time with family and celebrating the holidays together is important, I don’t want to spend the entire holiday by myself in the kitchen!

I love cooking, but I like spending time with the family even more, and nobody has time to be slaving away alone in the kitchen, especially when they’re supposed to be enjoying the holidays with family and friends. I’m guessing I’m not the only one that feels this way.

I have found a new family-favorite recipe that is a perfect addition to the holiday menu. It’s delicious and meets my picky holiday-worthy standards. And it’s fast and easy, which meets my holiday craziness needs!

When I told my kids and husband what I was making the other day, they just about died. They couldn’t wait for the crescent rolls to be done (and for me to take pictures). Once they were all done, you wouldn’t believe how quickly 16 Nutella and cheesecake-filled crescent rolls disappeared. No one could eat just one!

Here’s how to make these simple but delicious Nutella cheesecake crescent rolls:

The trick to making this recipe so quick and easy? Pillsbury Original Crescent Rolls!

Yum

Nutella-Cheesecake Crescent Rolls

Ingredients

Pillsbury Original Crescent Rolls Twin Pack (two 8-oz containers)
½ cup Nutella
4 oz cream cheese, softened
¼ cup granulated sugar
1 egg, beaten and divided
¼ cup turbinado sugar (raw sugar)

Instructions

In a small mixing bowl, combine 4 oz cream cheese, softened, with ¼ cup granulated sugar and 1 Tablespoon egg, beaten. Set aside.
Separate crescent rolls into 16 triangles. Spread a heaping teaspoon of nutella and a teaspoon of cream cheese mixture onto the wide end of each crescent roll wedge.
Roll each wedge starting from the wide end, tucking pointed end underneath.
Repeat until all crescent rolls are filled and rolled. Place on a baking sheet, 1-2 inches apart. Note: you’ll probably need to separate the crescent rolls between two baking sheets.
Mix ½ teaspoon of water with the remaining beaten egg. Brush egg mixture over the top of each crescent roll. Sprinkle generously with turbinado sugar.
Bake at 375 F for 12 minutes, until lightly browned on top. Serve warm or cold - these Nutella-Cheesecake filled crescent rolls are delicious both ways!

20 Incredible Recipes for Leftover Turkey

Lolli — Fri, 27 Nov 2015 17:19:10 +0000

I love Thanksgiving.

And I love Thanksgiving turkey. But I always end Thanksgiving with a massive amount of leftover turkey…certainly more than we can eat plain before getting sick of it. Over the years, I’ve come up with several family-favorite recipes for turkey leftovers, and I’ve gotten creative with our use of our beloved Thanksgiving food. I make several of these dishes the week after Thanksgiving, and I freeze some turkey so that we can use the turkey for soups and other easy dishes during those busy December nights.

Basically, any dish that calls for cooked chicken or turkey can be made into a Thanksgiving turkey leftovers recipe. In sandwiches, salads, soups, and casseroles, you can’t even tell the difference! I always buy more bird than we need so that I’ll have plenty of leftover meat to use for meals between Thanksgiving and Christmas. And because the recipes are so diverse, we don’t get sick of eating so much turkey!

Cinnamon Pecan Crunch Cheese Log

Lolli — Sun, 15 Nov 2015 13:00:44 +0000

This post and cinnamon pecan crunch cheese log recipe is sponsored by Target. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Years ago, I was making plans for Thanksgiving dinner (I cook for 3 days straight to get ready for the holiday. I love Thanksgiving foods!) and I asked my family what dishes they wanted me to make. With so many delicious food options, I wanted to make sure that I made the recipes that each of my family members were craving. I was expecting requests for pies and turkey and side dishes, but I discovered that one of the most anticipated Thanksgiving recipes was my simple cheese log.

I was inspired during a recent Target run to try a sweet, cinnamon-infused version of our family’s favorite Thanksgiving appetizer. I found a few Archer Farms products that I knew would be the perfect compliment to a sweet cheese dip. What’s better is that this cheese log comes together in just a few minutes with 4 simple ingredients. With all of the cooking I have to do during the holidays, I really appreciate finding delicious recipes that don’t take much time out of my busy prep day.

The cheese log tastes incredible with Archer Farms cinnamon caramel apple pita chips, cinnamon and sugar sweet potato corn tortilla chips, or cranberry pumpkin crisps (my favorite were the pita chips). Or spread a little bit of cheese log on a slice of apple. Yum!
