Christmas Day Breakfast

We always go to my Moms for breakfast on Christmas Day after the kids are done opening their presents. We are always the last ones there. My kids love to sleep in. They could sleep until ten if you let them. They have always been that way. Anyway . . . back to breakfast. My Sister-In-Law Heidi made the best french toast ever! So I thought I would share it with everyone.

Creme Brulee French Toast
1/2 C butter
1 C brown sugar
2 T corn syrup
5 eggs
1/2 tsp cinnamon
11/2 C half and half
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla

Melt first three ingredients (butter, brown sugar, and corn syrup) and pour them into a pan or a cookie sheet. A metal pan will produce a crisper and toastier french toast(this is the way I like it). A glass one will be soggish. Combine remaining remaining ingredients in a bowl. This is your dip. You can use french bread or Texas toast. Dip the bread, then place it on top of the syrup stuff in the bottom of pan. You can do this part the night before then leave it over night and cook in the morning, or let it sit for a couple of hours in the fridge before you cook it, or just go ahead and cook it right away (We did ours the night before - well my sister-in-law did :)). Bake at 350 for about 35 minutes, 16-18 minutes per side (flip them over halfway through cooking time.)


The French toast was not on my diet but it was VERY worth it! They are so yummy! Let me know if you get a chance to try them.

Happy Birthday

My baby turned six this month! This is Maddie in her dance costume. I will post pictures of that later. She was spoiled by her family for her birthday. My parents took her to eat at her favorite place - "the phone place" (The Training Table). BJ and I took her to see The Princess and The Frog. I can't believe that she is six already. Maddie also has her first loose tooth. She wants the tooth Fairy to come but she doesn't want her tooth to come out. I am not sure how that is going to work :)

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas everyone!

Thanksgiving

We had Thanksgiving with BJs family in Richfield. After we spent the weekend at the cabin. Maddie had a lot of fun teaching her cousin Megan how to shoot bubble gum with the sling shot.

Trouble

Its been about a month now. I went to go do laundry and I found a bowl of popcorn in my dryer. Tuck loves to play in the dryer. BJ likes to tease me and say he is going to turn it on with Tuck in there.
