As we have already discussed in the Bacon & Cheese Quiche recipe, I can eat breakfast all day.
Every day.
And this is why. You have to try this French Toast recipe. If you weren’t a breakfast fan before, you will be now. This is a super easy recipe AND it uses up any old crusty bread you may have laying around.
I have tried this recipe before with all kinds of breads including sandwich bread and the best bread to use is 2-day-old French baguette bread. Amazing. That airy bread with a crispy exterior just soaks up the liquid fantastically. And doesn’t produce a ton of crumbs like some breads.
On another note, did you know you could make your own vanilla? More on that to come….
See? Simple ingredients: flour, sugar, eggs.
Can’t forget the cinnamon.
And orange juice. Orange juice?? Why yes. I discovered this little trick when we were on our honeymoon. The B&B served this fantastic french toast which the kind innkeeper revealed had orange juice.
What are your favorite French Toast recipes? Do they have any secret ingredients?
Mix all ingredients together in a bowl. Whisk thoroughly until ingredients are well incorporated. Add bread slices one at a time and soak on both sides (allow the liquid to be absorbed, maybe 5-10 seconds on each side). Remove and place on plate.
Heat 1/2 T butter on med-high in skillet/pan. Add bread slices and cook, 1-2 minutes on each side or until bread begins to brown lightly. Remove and repeat to remaining slices.
Serve slices with a dusting of powdered sugar (optional) and a healthy dose of maple syrup.
Talk about a green salad. Full of healthy ingredients like broccoli, kale and cabbage, today’s salad is for those who love antioxidant-rich foods, for those who don’t wimp out at the mere sight of a green vegetable. This salad is a twist on yet another Trader Joe’s specialty (the TJ salad included similar ingredients but had…

Today’s recipe inspiration comes from Outback Steakhouse. Outback serves two salads which we are huge fans of: the filet wedge and the chopped pecan salad. I decided to do a recipe featuring a mix of the two salads – candied pecans, steak, red onions and blue cheese. For some reason I recall one being served…
This oversized cold shoulder top is making its appearance again. But none of us are surprised. It is SOFT! This time I’m pairing it with distressed white denim and espadrille sneakers. I know some of you commented on IG that you were big fans of distressed denim and that it was, in fact, your favorite type…
I never used to be much of a chai fan until A started drinking it frequently during winter. He adds milk and sugar and it turns into a decadent drink to sip on while it’s cold outside. This summer we were at our favorite local cafe when we noticed that chai milkshakes were on the…
I can honestly say this is the easiest recipe I own. Not only does it require a minuscule amount of ingredients but it is incredibly simple to put together. And I do it all in the same baking dish. This recipe was my sister’s favorite growing up. Now it’s the hubs’. If it were up…
