Sometimes You Have to Indulge a Little

Health food is always good, but nothing beats the taste of home made, comfort food that feeds the soul, especially on a lazy sunday morning. One of my favorite things to cook is my cinnamon sugar French toast. To make this recipe work, you need to use all of the real ingredients, including butter. Today the recipe turned out extra special because I used fresh, home made bread courtesy of Sweet & Flour Patisserie. Sweet & Flour is a unique, French-inspired restaurant nestled right in the middle of downtown Minot, North Dakota on Central Avenue. The friendly chefs are always concocting new and exciting recipes that tickle the taste buds. Not only do they serve delicious decadent deserts, they also have a great lunch menu of soups, sandwiches and salads. Sweet & Flour also uses many organic ingredients {which gets an A+ in my book!} The house made loaf bread was a perfect addition which made my French toast taste extra yummy!

Lazy Sunday French Toast

1 loaf home made bread, cut into thick slices

2 large or extra large eggs

1/3 cup milk

real butter

1 tsp vanilla extract

brown sugar

cinnamon

Mix eggs, milk and vanilla extract together. Heat large pan with 1 tsp butter. Coat one piece of bread in egg mixture and put in pan. Cook both sides evenly, then add 1 tbsp brown sugar and sprinkle with cinnamon, flip over, do the same to the other side, flip again so both sides are caramelized evenly to your liking. Add fresh butter for each piece you make. Serve hot and enjoy. Makes 5 slices.
