Our Yummy Breakfast!

I thought I'd share what I fixed for our breakfast this morning. It was a yummy treat and the kids LOVED it! It really doesn't take much to create special memories with your children....just a bit of your time ;). Enjoy the recipes!

YUMMY FRENCH TOAST

4 large eggs
1/2 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
10-12 slices bread (homemade is best!)

Preheat your griddle on medium heat.

Whisk the eggs, milk, vanilla, and cinnamon in a 9x9-inch pan until well blended.

Dip each slice of bread into egg mixture, coating the front and back of the bread and place on hot griddle to cook. Turn when lightly browned, cooking both sides.

Serve with butter and maple syrup. We also love applesauce on top instead of the syrup. Yummy!


HOT CHOCOLATE

1/2 cup water
1/4 cup cocoa
1/2 cup sugar (use Sucanat or organic cane sugar if you wish)
5 cups milk (whole milk is best!)
1 teaspoon vanilla

In a large pot, mix the water, cocoa, and sugar and heat on high until boiling. Mix in the milk and continue to stir until small bubbles form on the top. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla. Serve with marshmallows or whipped cream on top!

Serves 5.
