4 medium-sized tomatoes
2 medium-sized cucumbers
1 large yellow pepper
1 medium-sized red onion
1⁄4 cup chopped basil leaves
House
of Bread
1 lb Granny White or
1 loaf French Bread
|
1 clove of garlic, finely chopped
2/3 cup olive oil
1⁄4 red wine vinegar
1⁄2 tsp salt
1⁄4 tsp pepper
1⁄2 cup Mediterranean olives
2 tbsp capers, drained
fresh basil sprigs
for garnish
|
1. Cut tomatoes, cucumbers, yellow pepper and
red onion into bite-sized pieces.
2. Place vegetables in large
bowl. Stir in chopped basil leaves, capers, garlic,
olive oil, red wine vinegar, salt and pepper.
3. Cut bread into 1 inch pieces.
Add bread to vegetable mix. Toss gently to coat with dressing.
Top salad with olives and garnish with basil sprigs. |

Sauce
2 cups freshly squeezed blood orange (or regular orange) juice
1 cup heavy cream
4 tbsp unsalted butter
1 cup granulated sugar
|
Garnish
1⁄2 cup heavy cream, whipped
1⁄4 cup confectioners’ sugar
|
To make the sauce, bring the orange juice
to a simmer over medium-high heat in a medium saucepan, and
reduce to 1⁄4 cup, about 10 minutes. Strain through
a fine sieve into a bowl, add the cream, and set aside. In
another saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the
granulated sugar and continue to cook, stirring frequently
until the sugar is lightly caramelized, about 3 minutes.
Add the orange juice mixture, stirring constantly. Simmer
for 5 minutes and strain through a fine sieve.
Serve the bread pudding warm, such as turned out onto individual plates. Top
with the sauce, a dollop of whipped cream, and a dusting of confectioners’ sugar.

1⁄2 cup butter, melted
3⁄4 cup chopped onion
(or dethawed frozen chopped onion)
2 tbsp poultry seasoning
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
3 eggs
|
Optional ingredients:
1⁄2 cup chopped celery
1⁄2 cup water chestnuts
1 cup apples (Granny Smith or Pippin)
1⁄2 -1 cup of raisins
|
Stir all of the above together in a large
mixing bowl.
Add 4 cups of 1 inch bread cubes (Any combination
of Granny White, Honey Whole Wheat, 9-Grain, Challah, Squaw,
Darwin or other sandwich bread).
Mix the bread and the liquids
together. The fastest way is to use your hands,
rather than a spoon.
The stuffing mixture should be able to stick together in
a ball. If it is too
dry to stick together then add 1⁄2 cup of water (or chicken broth or turkey
giblet juice).
Stuff the turkey with the stuffing mix. Don’t mash
it together tightly or the stuffing will be too dense. Compact
the stuffing just enough for
it to
stick together (like a popcorn ball).
Cook the turkey using directions
for a turkey with stuffing. |
This recipe is best
with stale bread. I leave fresh bread open overnight
on the counter if I
don’t
have old, stale bread that I’ve saved for this purpose.
Usually I keep a plastic bag in the freezer where I save
pieces of leftover bread for stuffing. |

1lb cooked bacon, sausage or chopped ham
1lb House of Bread pizza dough
de-thawed (Granny White, Honey
Whole Wheat, or Low Carb Savory)
1 cup frozen Oreida hash browns
(little 1⁄2 inch squares, not patties)
1 cup shredded sharp cheese
7 eggs
1⁄2 cup milk
1⁄2 tsp salt
|
1/8 tsp pepper
2 Tbsp grated parmesan cheese
Paprika
Optional ingredients:
Ortega green chiles
Tomatoes
Onions
Mushrooms
|
Spread pizza dough in 9x13 inch pan. Spread
to cover bottom and up sides about 1⁄4 inch to
form crust.
Spoon sausage, bacon or ham over crust. Cover with
potatoes. Top with cheddar cheese.
Beat eggs, milk, salt and pepper together. Pour on crust. Sprinkle with
parmesan cheese and paprika.
Bake at 375 degrees for 25-30 minutes or until eggs are firm.
This dish freezes well after baking.

4 Tablespoons melted butter
2/3 cup brown sugar
2/3 cup sugar
6 eggs
2 tablespoon vanilla
1 tablespoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon salt
5 cups milk-scalded
|
1lb House of Bread sweeter
varieties
(Challah or grandma's white)
|
Mix brown sugar, white sugar cinnamon and
salt in large bowl to get lumps out of sugar. Add eggs
and vanilla and mix until eggs are thoroughly combined.
Add butter to milk and heat in microwave until butter is
melted and milk is hot. Slowly add hot milk to sugar mixture
while constantly stirring. Need to add milk slowly so eggs
won’t cook. Cut up day old cinnamon swirl, muffins,
white bread, challah, wheat bread, swirl breads, scones,
cinnamon rolls, etc. Anything that is not savory (that
does not have herbs, garlic, or cheese in it). Add cut
up bread until all liquid is absorbed. Fill to top well
sprayed muffin tins or quick bread pans. Can fill all the
way to the top as the bread pudding will not raise it will
stay the same height.
