HEEEEEEYY my loves!! I told y’all I would be giving you recipes this entire holiday season so, get used to seeing me all in your inbox this season. lol. I wonder how many of you love brunch as much as I do. I also am wondering how many of you HATE waiting in line for a popular brunch spot like I do.  Let me tell you this, there are many things I will wait for but baaaby *in my Nola accent*  food isn’t one of them.  I certainly will not wait for something that I can make better at home, and for a fraction of the price.

Any-who this recipe is EVERYTHING and I love to top it with a little caramel sauce and ice cream and it gives me all the dessert vibes I need.  It’s easy to make, you just toss everything together in a bowl (kinda) and bake it. Hope you enjoy, you’ll be seeing me soon.  I have a few more yummy holiday recipes I’m giving you all this week so, stay tuned for those. Until next time *kisses*

3. Toss your bread, brown sugar, peaches, and pecans together in a large bowl. Pour browned butter over mixture and gently stir. Pour egg mixture over bread mix and gently stir until all bread is soaked with egg mixture. You may not need all of your egg mixture, you only need to make sure your bread has soaked up a nice amount of it. If you pour too much in your bread pudding will taste eggy.

Recipe Notes

Browned butter: Over a medium heat melt your butter and allow it to simmer for a few minutes until brown bits form at the bottom of your pan and butter starts to turn a caramel color.  Be sure to stir or move your pan around so that butter doesn't burn.

Hello again my loves! We are starting to meet more often these days (insert cheers).  I will be spending the next month giving you all some great holiday recipes.  Some will be pretty basic (like collard greens) and some will be a little bit more fancy, either way I will make sure there is something for everyone.  This is the first of many  recipes for my holiday series.

Until yesterday I had never tried Cornish hens a day in my life but, after watching my friend Robin make them (shout out to #RobbiesKitchenWare) I knew I had to give it a try and LISTEN LINDA!!!! These hens coupled with the rest of my dinner were A-FREAKIN-MAZING! I mean I guess I shouldn’t get too excited because it’s pretty much like cooking a chicken lol.  Now, Cornish hens are a bit gamier but the brown sugar definitely offsets that taste. I say this often but, make these bad boys your own.  You don’t have to use the seasonings I used, the best part about cooking is the freedom to do your own thing.  Make sure you’re following me on Instagram and be sure to tag me and send me pics when you make these yummy hens or any of my other recipes.  Until next time my loves…..Be blessed!

Butter Wasted Cornish Hens

Prep Time

15 minutes

Cook Time

50-60 minutes

Servings

people

Ingredients

• 1 cup butter
• 1 tbsp brown sugar
• 1 leaf sage or 1 tsp dried sage
• 2 tsp Cajun seasoning
• 2 tsp fresh rosemary
• 2 cloves garlic
• 2 cornish hens
• 2 tbsp EVOO
• 2 tsp PHSS Pink Himalayan Sea Salt
• 1 tsp white pepper
• 1 tsp ground sage
• 2 cloves garlic
• 1/2 tsp paprika
• 1 tsp cayenne pepper
• 1 tsp crushed red pepper
• 1/2 tsp ground coriander

Prep Time 15 minutes Cook Time 50-60 minutes Servings people Ingredients 1 cup butter 1 tbsp brown sugar 1 leaf sage or 1 tsp dried sage 2 tsp Cajun seasoning 2 tsp fresh rosemary 2 cloves garlic 2 cornish hens 2 tbsp EVOO 2 tsp PHSS Pink Himalayan Sea Salt 1 tsp white pepper 1 tsp ground sage 2 cloves garlic 1/2 tsp paprika 1 tsp cayenne pepper 1 tsp crushed red pepper 1/2 tsp ground coriander

Instructions

1. Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees. Drizzle olive oil over cleaned Cornish hens and massage oil all over until hens are fully oiled down. Season your hens and rub seasonings all over hens until they are evenly seasoned. **You are only using the seasonings after the EVOO for the hen. The seasonings in the top half are for the butter.
2. In a small sauce pan melt butter over a medium-medium/low heat and add seasonings and sugar, cook for 2 min and stir constantly. Add fresh sage, rosemary, and garlic and cook until fragrant (about 2-3 minutes).
3. Place hens in a deep baking dish and pour butter over hens. Place in oven, you will need to baste your hens every 10-15 minutes. You will bake at 350 for 30 minutes, then turn oven up to 425 degrees for an additional 25-35 minutes (still basting every 10-15 minutes) until golden brown.
4. Remove from oven and allow to sit for 5-10 minutes before serving.

Recipe Notes

PHSS= Pink Himalayan Sea Salt, this can be substituted for table salt or kosher salt

Basting= Brushing or pouring melted fat juices over your meat.  This is essential to keeping meat juicy and flavorful.

You can season your hens with your preferred seasonings, I freestyled with the seasonings so these measurements are my best guess on how much I used.

Remember the goal is for you to use my concepts, I want you to become comfortable with making my recipes your own and seasoning things to your liking is the best way to do this.
