Peg Kerr's Journal

Do you all like French toast? When I was growing up we frequently had this for dinner, which made it seem like we were having breakfast at night, so it was a real treat! You get protein from the egg and if you use a nice challah loaf with raisins (or any sort of cinnamin raisin bread) you get iron from the raisins. Add a little bit of breakfast sausage, ham, spam or bacon as a side if you really must have meat with the meal. I also like to cut up an apple in thin slices and saute it with a little butter, brown sugar and cinnamin, using this to top off the toast instead of putting maple syrup on top. (This is especially good to do if maple syrup is too dear for you right now, because anything that's not real maple syrup is probably just corn syrup and dreadful on a nice piece of French toast.)
