Mom's Garlic Bread

I love garlic bread and was raised having bread in our house. In the same way, Brian loves his carbs and loves this garlic bread as much as I do. This is a great recipe that can fit to whatever you have on hand. This is a rustic down home recipe that is easy to adapt and easy to make. We do this to use up leftover breads. Enjoy.

Ingredients:

Bread (hot dog/hamburger buns, rolls, french bread, etc.)
Butter/Margarine
Garlic Salt/Powder
Parmesan
Cheese (Cheddar, mozzarella, etc.)

Directions:

Heat the oven to 400.
Separate your bread into two pieces/slices.
Butter the bread to your liking.
Sprinkle over the butter garlic salt/powder and Parmesan cheese.
If you want, then you can top with the other cheese you have out.
Put in oven for 10-15 minutes until nice and warmed through or as toasty as you like.

The Perfect Mudslide

I am not a big drinker, nor is Brian really into alcohol either. My drink of choice, by far, is a mudslide. An Adult Milkshake. Perfect for dessert or just for a nice summer afternoon treat!

Ingredients:
vodka
Bailey’s
Kahlua
Ice Cream (optional)
Milk
Ice

Directions:
1. Mix equal parts of each of the three liquors (1/2 an ounce or more :)) into a blender.
2. Add milk (about 1/2 a cup).
3. Add enough ice to make it even ice to liquid. You can also add Ice Cream in at this point!
4. Blend together.

Serve in a glass with whipped cream and chocolate syrup.

Sausage Egg Casserole

Last Friday we had the yearly 8th grade breakfast for the staff. I normally bring a casserole or some other homemade dish, because it is cheaper than buying donuts or bagels, or something to that degree. This recipe is one that I tried this year and I liked it.

Sausage Egg Casserole

Ingredients:
· 6 slices bread, cubed
· 1 pound sausage, browned, drained
· 1 1/2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
· 8 each eggs, beaten
· 2 cups milk
· 1 teaspoon, salt
· pepper to taste

Preparation:
Cube bread and place evenly in greased 9x13 pan or baking dish. Sprinkle evenly with sausage and cheese. Mix eggs, milk, salt and pepper. Pour over ingredients in pan. May cover and chill overnight. (if left overnight, remove from refrigerator 15 minutes before baking). Bake 45 minutes at 325 degrees or until set. Cut into squares to serve.

Serves 8 to 10
