sunday morning.

{cupcake from sprinkles}
{ina garten french toast}
{french press coffee with whipped cream mixed in}

This is our first Sunday morning breakfast at the new pad.  I love Ina Garten's french toast recipe.  Add a dash of half & half, vanilla, honey, salt and orange zest to your egg mix.  The orange zest gives it a really fresh taste.  I also love adding a little cinnamon and vanilla to heavy whip cream for a decadent topping {btw~it's nice to have a few California favorites back, like the straus family creamery...I love that their products come in glass bottles because I can recycle them to store fresh green juice}.  Lastly, a sprinkles cupcake thrown in the mix from my first visit yesterday.  Delicious.

Question: What's your favorite ingredient to add to french toast?

  3. Straus Family Creamery milk is so yummy. There's something really cool about milk in a glass bottle, too. Definitely a California fave.

  12. Thanks for recommending Ina's french toast recipe. I love mine, but I can't wait to give hers a try! My recipe calls for milk (i always add a little half and half to it), eggs, splash of vanilla, the tiniest pinch of salt and a good sprinkle of nutmeg. Its an old family recipe that I crave on the weekends!

  18. Looks delish! I always add cinnamon to french toast - or maybe that's a recipe staple. The more the better!

    Love Strauss Family milk and bottles. Our version in Westchester is Byrne Dairy which is delivered to my house every Tuesay morning. Doesn't get much better than fresh milk in your coffee!
