Sunday Brunch

Growing up my dad made brunch every Sunday morning, well I'm sure he still does I just no longer get to enjoy it. I have always wanted to continue this with for my family when Eric and I get to that point. However, Eric is not a breakfast lover but I figured as long as we were snowed in I might take a shot at making him a brunch lover.

Turkey Sammies on Bacon Cheese Waffles

2 C Bisquick

1 1/2 C milk

2 Eggs

1 C Shredded cheese

8 Slices bacon, crisply cooked and crumbled (1/2 C)

Sliced Turkey Breast

Slices of Cheese

Mix ingredients and pour into hot waffle iron(greased). Bake 3-4 min or until steam stops and waffle is golden brown.

Notes:

The waffle recipe is an adaptation of Bisquick's Bacon and Swiss waffles. We're good old Wisconsin cheddarheads and not big fans of Swiss so the waffle battter had cheddar. And for the cheese on the sandwiches we each used our favorite(Pepper Jack for Eric and Muenster for me.)

The turkey breast was a Jennie-O turkey breast tenderloin which already came marinated in a lemon garlic seasoning. I just drizzled EVOO on it and broiled it according to the directions on the package. Eric complimented its amazing moistness. The bonus was it was on sale for only $1.5o for a little 1 lb. piece of meat.

Orange-Almond Streusel Muffins

1 tsp. grated orange peel

1/2 C orange juice

1/3 C packed brown sugar

1/4 C vegetable oil

1 egg

1/4 Sliced almonds

Streusel Topping

1 T Bisquick mix

2 T packed brown sugar

2 T sliced almonds

1 T butter or margarine

Mix orange juice, brown sugar, egg, and oil. Stir in Bisquick and almonds. Pour into greased muffin pan. Make topping by mixing Bisquick, brown sugar, and almonds, then cut in butter using a fork until crumbly. Sprinkle with topping. Bake at 400 degrees for 13 to 15 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm.

Notes:

My streusel topping didn't turn out well using I Can't Believe It's Not Butter. Next time I'll use margarine or butter. Also, I think I may have added an extra egg to the batter and it turned out well, not over moist.
