Shirred Eggs

One egg per ramekin or person
Havarti cheese, cubed
cubed ham or cooked bacon or cooked breakfast sausage
butter
dash of Tony Chachere cajun seasoning
grated cheddar

Grease individual ramekins. Place meat in bottom of ramekin, add cubes of Havarti cheese. Crack egg into each ramekin. Sprinkle with cajun seasoning. Top with grated cheddar and a dab of butter. Bake at 350 for 25-30 minutes. Can also prepare in one casserole dish instead of individual ramekins.

We first discovered shirred eggs at a Bed & Breakfast in Jefferson, TX and they are an almost annual treat for Christmas breakfast.

Cookies & Cream Cake

Cake:
1 white cake mix
1 pkg. instant vanilla pudding (or white chocolate)
1 1/4 cup water
1/3 cup oil
3 egg whites
1 1/2 cups crushed Oreos

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix first five ingredients in large bowl, stir in crushed Oreos. Pour in two greased and floured round 9" cake pans or one 13"X9" pan. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until pick comes out clean. Let cool.

Frosting:**
3 cups powdered sugar
1 stick butter, softened (or 3/4 cup shortening)
2 egg whites
1 tsp vanilla extract

Combine ingredients, adding powdered sugar gradually and beat well, adding more butter or milk if needed for consistency. Frost cake; top with Oreos broken in half.

**Or just use white or vanilla frosting from the store if you are in a pinch for time.

Devil's Toffee Cookies

1 Devil's Food cake mix
1/2 cup oil
2 eggs
1 pkg. toffee brickle bits

Mix cake mix, oil and eggs. Stir in brickle bits. Place small balls of dough (I use a cookie scoop) onto baking stone or sheet, flatten slightly with bottom of glass. Bake for 12-13 minutes @ 350 degrees.

This recipe is from my friend Kim, this might be her Poppa's favorite cookie. Enjoy!

Peach Cobbler

1 cup sugar
3/4 cup self-rising flour
3/4 milk
1 28 oz. can sliced peaches
1 stick butter

Preheat oven to 350 degrees, place butter in deep baking dish and let melt as oven heats. Mix sugar and flour, pour milk in slowly, stir well. Pour mixture over melted butter, gently spoon peaches and juice over batter. Bake for 45-60 minutes (depending on oven). Batter will rise to the top. Extra delicious with vanilla ice cream!

Asian Cabbage Salad

1 head cabbage, shredded
1 (4 oz.) pkg. sunflower seeds
1 small pkg. sliced almonds
4 T sesame seeds
2 pkgs. Ramen noodles (any flavor, discard seasoning packets), broken

Keep cabbage separate from other ingredients until ready to serve. Add dressing, toss and serve immediately.

Dressing:
1/2 cup oil
3 T vinegar
3 T sugar
1/2 tsp. pepper
1 tsp. salt
2 tsp. Accent (optional)

I could eat buckets of this salad, seriously. You could add some roasted chicken to it to make more of a complete meal.
