French Toast Mania- Traditional and Raisin Walnut

Nutrition Bites #3

Try eating without the news on or reading the newspaper. J and I went without the Today Show this morning which was hard to do. However, it really helped us enjoy what we were eating and prevented any over eating!

FRENCH TOAST MANIA

I have made french toast the past two mornings. It's just such a warm, welcoming way to fuel up in the morning.

The first morning I made pretty traditional french toast with a twist.

Whole wheat bread dipped in the mixture of.... 2 whole eggs, three egg whites, Watkins vanilla, cinnamon, and strawberry yogurt (we usually add skim milk but did not have any :)
...also when we have orange juice or peel on hand I add a touch of this

This morning was luxury french toast aka
Whole Wheat Raisin Walnut
Basically, I use the same mixture as above...eggs, vanilla, cinnamon, and skim milk. I bought the bread from our local co-op New Pioneer...it adds sooo much flavor. You can use any flavored bread you desire....maybe not veggie ;)
I like to cut thin pieces so they get a little crispy.

Serve with fruit, sugar-free syrup, almond butter, peanut butter....
J and I road cycle cross bikes last night....brrrr
Warming my feet!
Until next time...
look good, feel good, do good
