Almond French toast

Almond French toast

Ingredients:

2 cups slivered almonds (can use more or less)
3 eggs
1 cup half-and-half cream (or full-fat milk)
3 tablespoons flour
1/8-1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4-1/2 teaspoon almond extract
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
10-12 slices thick French bread
3 tablespoons oil (more as needed)
4 tablespoons butter (more as needed)
Confectioners' sugar (optional)

Cooking Directions:

Place the almonds in a small saucepan; toss occasionally until lightly browned (about 5-8 minutes) careful not to overbrown; set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, half and half or milk (if using) flour, salt, baking powder, almond extract and vanilla.
Soak the bread slices in the egg mixture until soaked.
Place in a shallow glass dish.
Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate the bread slices for about 1 hour.
Heat the oil and butter in a skillet (I do this on my large electric fry pan).
Doing one slice at a time, press one side of the soaked bread slice into the toasted almonds to coat.
Fry the bread slices on both sides until golden.
Sprinkle with confectioner’s sugar if desired.

Grab 'n' Go Breakfast Cookies

Ingredients:

Shortening
1/2 cup butter, softened
2/3 cup packed brown sugar
2 eggs
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup whole-wheat flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup rolled oats
1 cup mixed dried fruit, dried cranberries or cherries or raisins or snipped dried apricots
1/2 cup banana chips, broken up
1/2 cup chopped walnuts or peanuts or pecans or almonds

Cooking Directions:

Turn on the oven to 350 degrees. Grease a cookie sheet with shortening. Save until Step 4. Cut up butter with the table knife.
Put butter in a large mixing bowl. Beat with electric mixer on medium speed about 30 seconds or until butter is creamy. Stop mixer. Add brown sugar. Beat on medium speed until combined, stopping the mixer occasionally and scraping the bowl with a rubber scraper. Stop mixer.
Add eggs and vanilla. Beat on medium speed until combined. Put the whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a small bowl. Stir with the wooden spoon. Stir flour mixture into egg mixture. Stir in oats, mixed fruit bits, banana chips, and nuts.
Scoop the dough with a 1/4-cup measuring cup.* Drop the dough in mounds 2 inches apart onto the prepared cookie sheet. If necessary, use the rubber scraper to push the dough from the measuring cup. Use your hands to flatten dough on cookie sheet.
Put the cookie sheet in the oven. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until cookie edges begin to brown.
Use hot pads to remove cookie sheet from oven. Let cookies remain on cookie sheet for 1 minute. Use a pancake turner to move cookies to a cooling rack. Repeat with remaining dough, letting cookie sheet cool between batches or use a second cookie sheet. Turn off oven.
Serve with your favorite fruit-flavored yogurt and orange juice. *NOTE: If you like, use an ice cream scoop that holds about 1/4 cup to scoop the dough.
