Asian-Cajun Breakfast

Good Morning Sunday! The clocks went forward this morning and I'm sure everyone is missing their bed right now. I was worried for the baby and his routine that he has been following precisely. Turns out he adjusted to the time so well that I didn't notice a single change. He woke up right at 7am as usual and went down for his morning nap without a fuss. I'm starting to think that he is more aware of what's going on than me!!

Since things went so well this morning, I quietly went into the kitchen as the boys were sleeping. It was the perfect time to use up the wonton wrappers that I bought last week. This week our menu has consisted of whatever ingredients I needed to use up in the refrigerater. It has made for some interesting meals I will say.

My lovely mother in law gave me her recipe for Cajun canopies. They are delicious appetizer biscuits made with a sausage cheese filling. They are always a hit at parties and my husband especially loves them. This morning I added an Asian flare to the recipe by using wonton wrappers instead of biscuits. Really the clean up was much easier and the presentation is beautiful!

The sausage filling is made up of sausage, cheese, garlic, green onion, thyme, paprika, and red pepper (these are the ingredients I had on hand...usually you add a few others to complete the recipe). I simply cooked the filling and added to my wonton cups which I previously baked in the oven. I put the combined mixture into the oven until the cheese melted and poof!!! Breakfast is served. Once my husband wakes up I'll probably fry up some eggs (fresh farm) and whole wheat toast to complete the meal. I plan on doing this again except planned out in advance. I'd love to add ginger and serve them with eggs and jasmine rice (or even fried rice would be fun). The possibilities are endless with this recipe.

Happy "Spring Forward"
