Breakfast

Since it is only 7:30 in the morning (my time is off for this software, I have to fix that!) I decided that I would do breakfast recipes. After all it is the time that you should be thinking about breakfast, right? Well, if you don't have a lot of time in the morning the perfect thing to have in between all those orovo detox reviews is a smoothie. They are quick to make and delicious.

INGREDIENTS

1 banana
1/2 cup frozen mango pieces
1/3 cup plain yogurt
1/2 cup orange-mango juice blend

DIRECTIONS

Combine the banana, mango, yogurt, and juice in a blender; blend until nearly smooth.

I love French Toast. I have actually been craving it for a couple of days lately. This recipe when I saw it did not help those cravings in the slightest! It is a French toast casserole which just looks delicious! This is a great way to use those extra rolls or cranberry sauce that you had on Thanksgiving too!

INGREDIENTS

2 tablespoons butter
2 cups diced Granny Smith apple (about 2 apples)
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Dash of ground cloves
1/4 cup packed brown sugar, divided
1 pound dinner rolls, quartered
Cooking spray
1/2 cup sweetened dried cranberries
1 1/4 cups apple juice
1 1/4 cups 1% low-fat milk
3/4 cup whole-berry cranberry sauce
1/2 teaspoon grated lemon rind
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
6 large eggs, lightly beaten
1/4 cup sliced almonds, toasted

DIRECTIONS

Melt butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add apple, cinnamon, and cloves to pan; cook 10 minutes or until lightly browned, stirring frequently. Stir in 2 tablespoons brown sugar; cook 2 minutes or until sugar melts. Remove from heat.

Place quartered rolls on a jelly-roll pan; bake at 250° for 15 minutes. Arrange rolls in a 13 x 9-inch baking dish coated with cooking spray. Sprinkle cranberries evenly over rolls; top with apple mixture. Combine apple juice and the next 5 ingredients (through eggs) in a large bowl, stirring with a whisk. Pour egg mixture over roll mixture; sprinkle with remaining 2 tablespoons sugar. Cover and refrigerate overnight.

Preheat oven to 350°.

Uncover dish, and sprinkle with almonds. Bake at 350° for 55 minutes or until golden.
