    Step-By-Step Instructions:

    1. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, creamer, and maple syrup. Pour mixture over the bread cubes. Press bread gently with the back of a spoon to moisten completely. Cover and chill 8 hours or overnight.

    2. Coat a 9 x 13-inch baking dish with cooking spray. Cube the bread and cream cheese. Slice the strawberries.

    3. Place half of the bread cubes in the dish. Layer the cream cheese cubes and 1 cup strawberries over the top of the bread. Top with remaining bread cubes.

    4. To prepare the sauce, toss the sugar with remaining strawberries. Let stand for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Pour the mixture into the blender and blend until smooth. Transfer the sauce to a small saucepan. Add butter and simmer over medium heat for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

    5. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Bake the casserole uncovered until golden brown, about 45 to 50 minutes.

    6. Remove the casserole from the oven and cool for 5 minutes. Cut into 12 servings and serve with warm strawberry sauce. (1 piece should be 2-1/4 inches by 3 inches.)

    Step-By-Step Instructions:

    1. In a medium bowl, stir together the onion, lime juice, and salt. Cover with plastic wrap and set aside at room temperature for 3 to 5 hours, while the chicken cooks.
    2. Place the chicken in a medium slow cooker. Sprinkle with the chili powder and cumin. Pour the chicken broth around the chicken. Cover and cook on low for 3 to 5 hours or until chicken reaches a temperature of 165 degrees F.
    3. Remove the chicken from the slow cooker and using the tines of two forks, shred the chicken. Place the chicken in a bowl and toss with the onion lime mixture. Serve with lime wedges.
    4. Electric pressure cooker variation: Prepare the onion lime mixture as above. Place the chicken in the pressure cooker. Sprinkle with chili powder and cumin. Pour the chicken broth around the chicken. Secure the lid. Cook on high pressure for 6 minutes. Allow the pressure to release naturally for 5 minutes, then quickly release the remaining pressure. Proceed as above.
