French Toast Roll Ups

I'm going to be honest here, I am NOT a breakfast person (or a morning person, but that's beside the point). In the rare occasions I eat breakfast, I can guarantee that it'll be a toasted bagel with cream cheese. But of course cream cheese can be pricey, so I don't eat breakfast. While going through a millions of food items on Pinterest, I found this lovely recipe, and decided to give it a try. Be warned: the recipe called for 8 pieces of bread, but I could barely finish two because they're so filling!

Ingredients:

8 slices of white sandwich bread (I used wheat, since it was all I had)

2 eggs

3 Tbsp. milk

1/3 cup granulated sugar

1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

well greased pan

any filling that your heart desires

Place the egg and milk into a wide and shallow bowl (so you can dip the rolls)

and beat lightly.

Combine the sugar and cinnamon together in a separate bowl.

Step One: cut off the crusts of your bread slices. Using a rolling pin,

roll your bread until it's flat(ish).

Step Two: Add the fillings of your choice, making sure that the 

bulky items (such as bananas, jam, and chocolate chips) are placed on

one side of the bread. Roll up.

Step Three: Dip the bread into the milk and egg mixture, but don't 

soak it. Roll in the cinnamon and sugar until nicely coated. 

Cook in a greased pan on medium high, rotating until each side is

a golden brown color and has a crisp texture to it.

Step Four: Serve with syrup and, like always, enjoy!

Apple Enchiladas

I made these forever ago and realized I forgot to post them! These are fabulous not just for dessert but for breakfast as well (just don't tell my mom I said that, she thinks they're "too sweet" for breakfast). These are great for the days you want something delicious today, tomorrow, or yes, next week (if you refrigerate it of course). These do take time, but half of it is the "enchiladas" sitting in the sauce before they bake

Ingredients

1 can apple pie filling

6 large tortillas

1 tsp cinnamon powder

1/2 cup butter

1/2 cup white sugar

1/2 cup brown sugar

1/2 cup water

preheat oven to 350.

Step one: Place a sauce pan over medium heat, combining butter, both sugars, and water.

Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Reduce the heat and let it simmer for 3 minutes.

Take it off the heat and set aside.

Step Two: scoop 1/4 cup (or less) of apple pie filling down the middle of each tortilla.

Sprinkle cinnamon on top, roll the tortilla up, tucking in the edges. Lay in a greased pan

"seam side" down.

Step Three: Pour the sauce on top of the enchiladas. Make sure to cover the sides as well.

Set on the counter for 45 minutes so the tortillas can soak in as much of the sauce as it can.

Step Four: Bake in oven for 20 minutes.

I made this as Sunday dessert for my never ending family, who couldn't get over how much

they loved these. Definitely a winner!
