Dandelions

Thought for Monday: Remember to smell the roses. . . . and laugh at the dandelions!

Banana Nut French Toast

My husband's favorite breakfast is french toast, which works great for me since it is quick and easy, and I always have the ingredients. But, sometimes we get bored of the original egg-soaked bread and syrup combo and like to try something new. Today it was bananas and pecans (if I'd had whipped cream I probably would have added that too). We toasted the pecans and used overripe bananas to really intensify the flavors. You can top with honey or real maple syrup, or mash up the bananas for some more moisture. Either way, if you like banana bread, you will love this adaptation of french toast. 

Note: I make my french toast the LaaaaaZZZZZZy way--I use thinner bread and let it soak for only a few seconds before I cook it. Obviously if you soak for longer or use thicker bread, it will probably only taste better.
