Breakfast Challenge: Day Four

June 5, 2009 > No Comments

I was rushed this morning because of an unexpected appointment, but was determined to fix what was on the menu – Piggy Pudding.

Other than clean up, I was able to prepare breakfast before heading out the door.

This is another old recipe of ours that I often like to prepare for company. Piggy Pudding is different enough that most are intrigued and all seem to like.

Piggy Pudding

Ingredients

1 package link sausages – mine came in a 12 pack

4 apples, peeled and sliced

1 box 8.5 oz Jiffy corn muffin mix – prepare according to package

Cook sausages in skillet until done. Drain. Place sausage links in the bottom of a greased 2 quart baking dish. Layer apples on top. Pour muffin mixture on top. Bake for about 30 minutes or until lightly brown. Serve with maple syrup.

After I had cooked the sausage and sliced the apples I realized I didn’t have an egg for the Jiffy mix! I quickly Googled what substitutions there were for eggs. I found out that bananas are a good substitution. So in place of an egg this time I used a banana with great results. Other egg substitutes I found were:

1/4 cup mayonnaise*
2 Tbsp corn starch*
2 Tbsp potato starch*
1 Tbsp soy powder plus 2 Tbsp water*

*per egg

If you would like another recipe using a Jiffy mix head over and see what Joy cooked up on Day 1 of the Breakfast Challenge.

I’m looking forward to trying Peanut Butter Banana Smoothies tomorrow for breakfast.

Joy is off camping with the family for tomorrow’s breakfast but even then she’s got a plan!

Are you up for a challenge? Do you need some inspiration and motivation to get back in the kitchen and cook? We’d love for you to join us in this adventure. Just focus on making breakfasts every day this week, trying out new recipes or bringing back some oldie-but-goodies.

Then next Monday Joy and I will each host a Mr. Linky and you can link up your post about the breakfasts you tried this week (and of course include pictures and mouth-watering recipes, too!).

For each of the the following three weeks, the challenge will be lunches, dinners, and then snacks. Then, at the end of this 4-week cooking challenge, Joy and I will be compiling master menu plans from which we can more easily plan our meals. So we’re both looking forward to some new meal ideas from our fabulous readers. We’d love for you to join us!
