  • My Original Recipes: Magic Apples - Apples sauteed in butter until they look like potatoe slices, then covered in brown sugar and optionally cinnamon. Cheese-stuffed hawaiian french toast - Hawaiian bread sliced to 1" thickness and then cut in the side to form a pouch, in which cheese is stuffed so that it isn't sticking out, and then the entire thing is dipped (not soaked!) in egg/milk mixture and fried in margarine until golden brown and there is no raw egg. ??? - Prepare magic apples w/o sugar. Slice up potatoes, onions, bell peppers. Put in pan with magic apples, olive oil, and sesame oil. Cover in rosemary, thyme, black pepper, and sea salt. Look in fridge. Take everything edible out, and pour it on top. Bake at 350-400 degrees as long as you want to. (yes I did this once, it was AWESOME)
