Diabetic version.

Pam Laubenthal from oak Lawn, IL

I love the spicy flavor of this coffee! It can be served as "dessert" to company. I substituted a granulated brown sugar with the strong spices and it was very tasty, you could not tell that it was not real brown sugar.
Cant wait to try it!

jeannie loving from Goodview, VA

This sounds great! Cant wait to try this.
Perfect Meal ending

Lorraine from

My daughter and I really liked this! Very tasty, and a perfect finish to our Mexican themed meal. It was an effort to make, but well worth it...:)
Delicious and a MONEY SAVER

Paula LEOTTA from MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA

I tried this on a whim. We loved it - guests asked for seconds and wanted the recipe. My family likes the taste anise seed adds to food (I've only used it with meats and vegetables). I was delighted to find another use for a favorite herb. I used the dark brown sugar and found it worked quite well. Interesting taste change. We'll be making this again!!
MEXICAN SPICED COFFEE

LYNNE KRIEGER from YACOLT, WA

VERY GOOD, EVERYONE LOVED THIS AFTER DINNER FOR A REAL TREAT. ADD CHOCOLATE AND AMAMARETTI. REALLY GREAT.
Its Alright

Roxanne Schuch from Newton, IL

Well it definetely is not a bad mix, that is for sure, but it lacks a certain pizzaz that other coffees normally have. I do like the cinamon sticks though they add the extra touch that makes it feel like something you should curl up with and drink in front of the fire

A Family Favorite

Cheri Keplinger from ,

An excellent recipe to have on hand. My family loves this dish. I make it up on Christmas Eve, then, Christmas morning I just pop it in the oven and enjoy watching the kids open their goodies while it bakes. It's ready to eat about the same time as the gifts are all opened. So simple to make, yet delicious to eat, too.
Company

Fran Yanta from Grantsville, MD

I started making this recipe 9 years ago, but did not use Carnation evaporated milk. It was a holiday brunch casserole, a "companies coming" weekend casserole, and our favorite, grandchildrens night, casserole. The evaporated milk really adds more creamy goodness to it. The grandchildren who don't like eggs even like this.
A relaxing breakfast

jeanne henderson from Sykesville, MD

This recipe is great! When we have friends over and they spend the night, I fix this the night before and then heat it up the next morning. It so much nicer than scurrying around in the kitchen in the morning to get everyone fed! (And you don't have to take orders to see what everyone wants:)
Amazing

Kathy Palladino from ,

I made this for my Mother's Day annual brunch for my mother & mother in law a few yrs ago. Everyone loved it especially my husband. I make it alot. I reduce the fat though by using rdf JD sausage, egg beaters & 2% fat shredded cheese. It tastes just like the full fat version. My husband can't tell the difference! Great recipe to have on hand.
Breakfast Brunch

kathleen DuBois from Brookfield, WI

This recipe is excellent, I used left over HAM instead of sausage & added chopped red peppers & Onions. This makes for easy brunch meal, potluck, or just a GREAT make ahead meal.

JONDA HAMILTON from Hammond, LA

I've made this the night before and refrigerated it and then popped it in the oven the next morning. Saves a lot of time. Was quick and great for Christmas morning!

BARBARA SHUFELT from Fairport, NY

Fix the night before

GWEN NEWELL from Arlington, WA

I have seen a very similar recipe and you could make it the night before, which is a great idea if you expect company or have a busy day planned
Can be cut in half

Christine Hanson from Eagle River, AK

I made this but only made half the recipe. And I added a few chopped pre-Sautéd onions and substituted evaporated skim milk and used 1/2 egg substitute and eggs along with 100% whole wheat bread. Actually, leftovers freeze well too, in single portion sizes in sealable bags.
Very Yummy!

Amy Nichols from Las Vegas, NV

Even my picky-eater-6-year old loved it! Very easy to make and a family fav. I made this on Christmas Eve (we do a big Christmas Eve deal here) and again on New Year's Day. It was fabulous!!
Lighten this up!

Martie wynne from Evanston, IL

OK, this is great but too much fat. I like: 2 pkg lite precooked sausage sliced thin for sausage 16 oz egg substitute + two eggs for 10 eggs evaporated skim milk for whole REALLY serious?? 5 cups of whole wheat low cal bread for 4 cups regular. Lite cheese for regular same measure How many calories/fat are saved? I don't know but lots obviously
Brunch Awesomeness

Ann Rittenhouse from Salem, Oregon

What a great way to start the day! I made this for my family on a Saturday morning before we went school shopping. It was fast and easy and all the goodness of a huge breakfast in one easy dish. I substituted maple sausage and medium cheddar cheese cause that is what I had on hand. It was great. Our new favorite for Saturday mornings.
"New" Family Favorite

Betty Rader from PARMA, OH

This recipe is very similar to one I have made for 20+ years given to me by my mother-in-law. This one is much easier to make and just as good if not better! Thank you for our "new" family favorite! It's so easy it's not just for holidays anymore!
Brunch Casserole

Kathi Gilman from Aliso Viejo, CA

I made this recipe for my church worship team today (I had to substitute the sausage with bacon...thought I had thawed sausage from the freezer but it was bacon!) & it was HIT! I had salsa as a condiment for those that wanted to spice it up a bit. The evaporated milk gave it a "silky" texture. I will definitely make this again!!
not just for breakfast

Deborah Richards from Bennington, VT

I put this casserole together in the morning and when I got home from work popped it in the oven.I spent time with the family while it baked instead of spending that time preparing dinner. I served it with some fresh friut and it was enjoyed by the whole family. Leftovers packed well for lunches also.

This recipe is a old family favorite served on Christmas morning. I have a handwritten copy, smudged from moisture on the recipe card. Have been trying to decipher for years (family member deceased) and am so happy to be able to "fill in" the gaps! We'd make it Christmas Eve, then pop in the oven while we opened presents. Really filling! Actually its great for any holiday morning - filling and keeps everybody full til the BIG dinner! A real keeper!

Very light hint of orange. I also think you could put all the chips in the batter and then put a power sugar and oj glaze on it. I'm wondering what milk chocolate chips would taste like . Orange and chocolate goes together. Thank you Nestle for a wonderful recipe. All that I have tried I have been very well impressed.

I wasn't sure about the taste of orange & chocolate but decided to go for it. I liked this recipe but the second time I made them I used orange yogurt instead of plain. It really helped intensify the orange flavor. I also used chopped pecans which I thought added to the overall flavor.

Ann Messing from MCKINNEY, TX

I tried these recently specifically to take to the home of friends who were moving and we were helping them load their truck. Everyone loved them--the orange with the white chocolate made a delightful combination. They were an interesting texture due to the baking mix. Very good and easy.
Orange Lover

Teresa Woodson from VIRGINIA BEACH, VA

What a great way to have orange and yogurt together. Great for snack or breakfast.My family just loved them with orange juice and eggs. It made a great breakfast. Then in the afternoon they were a great snack with a cup of coffee. A healthy but good food. I can't wait to fix them again. Just thinking about them makes me hungery. I've always love orange. Now, I have another item I can fix with orange in it. I may try drissling a little chocolate on the top of the muffins next time. I think that may add a little special kick to them. Chocolate does'nt hurt anything.
I made just 12 bigger muffins....

Susan Campbell from GRASS LAKE, MI

...as you may wish to do. These are so good, one medium-sized is not enough. A big one will satisfy you, however. Served my family a basket of muffins, pitcher of fresh cold milk, a pot of coffee, and some poached eggs. Fabulous! and very easy to make. Thank you for this recipe, which is definitely a keeper.

Cinnamon-Vanilla Sauce with fresh fruit

Carol Chaltron from MADISON HEIGHTS, MI

Made this last night liked it but to much cinnamon. Next time just a sprinkle of cinnamon would be better.

Lighten it up

melode Motycka from Graham, WA

I used nonfat carnation canned milk and Splenda insted of sugar. This turned out great. Tastes good on this season's fresh fruit.
So Easy & Delicious!

Heidi Trevethan from TUCSON, AZ

This recipe is very simple and takes no time at all to make. I served this delicious sauce with strawberries and chocolate syrup. It tasted wonderful!! Also, when I stored the sauce, I placed a piece of plastic wrap right over the sauce to avoid a film on top.

Cinnamon-Vanilla Sauce

Toni Lang from PATCHOGUE, NY

I cut back on the corn starch ( 1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon ). It came out just right to serve over a peach crumb cake that I had just baked. It tasted yummy!
Refreshing

Florence Lewis from WINTER PARK, FL

This is also tasty on apple dumplings.
Cinnamon-Vanilla Sauce with Fresh Fruit

Cyndy B Wilber from Ravena, NY

My family didn't care for this one. The thickness of the sauce and the heaviness of the cinnamon took away from the flavor of the fresh fruit, rather than add to it. I would suggest using less corn starch and perhaps a little nutmeg with the cinnamon.
Cinnamon Vanilla Sauce w/fresh fruit

Angie Miller from WARNER ROBINS, GA

I just made this today waiting for my friends to come in for coffee. Every one liked it, but thought the sauce was a little thick. I will make this again but I won't put as much corn startch in it...I also sprinkled it with cinnamon instead of using cinnamon sticks
try it warm

Paula Mason from OKLAHOMA CITY, OK

I read a few rating comments prior to making this sauce, so I prepared to make adjustments for thickness and richness. I made 2 versions- an original recipe, and one with less cornstarch and fat free evaporated milk. In agreement with other tasters, the original was a bit much for fresh fruit, but it was Great served warm with warm spiced peaches and pears.We topped it off with nutmeg rather than cinnamon. The lighter version was much better on fresh sliced fruit, but I think with strawberries and grapes, we would have preferred to omit the cinnamon sticks
Easy

Debbie O'Melia from Freehold, NJ

This was good but to thick. Try less cornstarch.

We eat a lot of fruit salad and this was a hit with everyone in our household.
Better on another dessert..

Skye Chokel from Tucson, AZ

This was good, but I thought it was too thick and rich for fresh fruit. While I ate it, I thought it would be much, much better as a sauce for bread puddings, apple cakes, or add a touch of brandy and use it over baked apples.

KATHY MURPHY from JESSUP, MD

Halley from Victoria
