Yummy breakfast

Dutch Babies
(all recipes)

Ingredients:

2 eggs

1/2 cup milk

1/2 cup sifted all-purpose flour

1 pinch ground nutmeg

1 tsp vanilla

1 pinch salt

2 tablespoons butter

2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar for dusting

Directions:

Place a 10 inch cast iron skillet inside oven and preheat oven to 475 degrees F (245 degrees C).

In a medium bowl, beat eggs with a whisk until light. Add milk and stir. Gradually whisk in flour, nutmeg and salt.

Remove skillet from oven and reduce oven heat to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Melt butter in hot skillet so that inside of skillet is completely coated with butter. Pour all the batter in the skillet and return skillet to oven.

Bake until puffed and lightly browned, about 12 minutes. Remove promptly and sprinkle with powdered sugar.


** If you do not have a skillet, you can use a 9x13 baking dish. Heat your oven to 425 F degrees. Double all the ingredients. Chop 1/3 cup butter up into your baking dish and let melt in your preheated oven. Once all of the butter has melted, take baking dish out and pour in batter, DO NOT STIR OR MIX just let it be. Bake for 20-22 minutes and enjoy! We topped ours with maple syrup, powdered sugar, fresh fruits (blueberries, blackberries, bananas, strawberries,etc.)




Great for Cold Weather

White Chicken Chili
(adapted from a Pinterest recipe
)


Ingredients

1 large onion, diced

2-3 cloves, garlic

2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 2-inch pieces

4 (15 ounce) cans cannellini beans, or other white beans, drained and rinsed

2 (4 ounce) can green chilies

2 (14.5 ounce) can chicken broth

2 teaspoon cumin

2 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

cheese, sour cream, cilantro (optional, for serving)

Instructions

Add everything to slow cooker and give it a stir. Cook on low for 7-8 hours or high 3-4 hours. Serve nice and steamy, topped with cheese, sour cream, or cilantro if you like

(I added chopped cilantro to the chili before serving and set out sour cream and shredded sharp cheddar to put on top. Would also be nice with fresh avocado)
