Oops! The milk goes with the egg white mixture.... Not too much, though.

[AnnieDear]

My family loves stuffed French toast, but it's just too much for me now. So, I modified it to fit my new goal of reducing stress :)

I don't really use measurements, but I can put the ingredients...

Bread (I use whatever we happen to have...)
Egg whites
Milk
Vanilla
Cinnamon
Fat-free cream cheese - room temp
Agave syrup (or sugar)
2 bananas
Strawberries
Cooking spray or olive oil
Skillet or griddle
Syrup (I use sugar free)

I make the filling first:
Blend Cream cheese, agave syrup, vanilla. Smash one banana and mix it in. Smetimes I also add strawberry jam. Slice other banana and strawberries. Set these aside.

French toast next:
mix egg whites, vanilla, and cinnamon together. Dip bread in mixture, then cook on skillet or griddle until golden brown on both sides.

Finally, put them together. Put one slice French toast on plate. Then put as much or little cream cheese mix on. Put bananas and/or strawberries on. Cover with another slice of toast. Then your choice of syrup.

You can use any type of fruit you want. Or no fruit! I've been known to just use preserves or jam, even lol
Yummy :)

Ok well I know it is not Thursday but I tried a new recipe and both my DH and  I loved it...so here it is :

  Apple Turnovers-

1 cup of flour
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup cold butter divided
1/4 cup of ice water

  In  a small bowl combine flour, salt and cut in 1/4 cup of butter.blend until crumbly gradually add water tossing with a fork until a ball forms.

On a lightly floured board, roll dough to a 10" x 12" rectangle,

Cut the remaining butter into thin slices,  on the short side of the rectangle arrange the butter slices on 2/3 of the dough keeping in an inch from edges. fold the remaining 1/3 of dough with none of the butter over the mid section (1/3) of the dough with butter, then fold over remaining dough with the butter so it is covered with the other 2/3s.

Now fold this in half, and roll into a 12x6" rectangle and repeat the folding and rolling process one more time.

lightly dust with flour and fold and wrap in saran wrap and place in fridge for an hour,.

Filling

2 tsp cornstarch
1/8 tsp cinnamon

2 med apples
1 tsp lemon juice* ( or water)

1 egg beaten with 1 1/2 tsp water in a separate bowl

Take a jelly roll pan and cover in foil, then unfold the dough, cut into 4 equal sections, brush with egg wash, add apples  and fold over and close with a fork, cut 2 slits in the top and brush again with egg wash.
