Fluffy French Toast

I LOVE french toast, and have it for my birthday every year. This year Casey surprised me with taking the day off work, breakfast in bed, buying me flowers, and letting me do whatever I wanted :) It was a lot of fun, we went furniture shopping. Now I know that doesn't sound like a ton o' fun....but it's what I enjoy! So here is a little twist on a classic recipe. Either way though, it's super tough to mess up french toast. Enjoy!!

Ingredients

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

2 cup milk

1 pinch salt

6 eggs

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

2 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 tablespoon white sugar

12 thick slices bread (I use Texas Toast)

1. Measure flour into a large mixing bowl. Slowly whisk in the milk.
2. Whisk in the salt, eggs, cinnamon, vanilla extract and sugar until smooth.
3. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium heat.
4. Soak bread slices in mixture until saturated.
5. Cook bread for a few minutes on each side until golden brown.
6. Serve hot.

Crazy Chocolate Crunch

The combination of ingredients in this super tasty recipe is amazing, and I keep thinking of new things to add that would make this dish even more delish! The recipe I posted is the original, but I think that adding peanut butter or pretzels would be good, too. Next time I make this, I will experiment with different combinations. I hope you enjoy this as much as Casey did, he couldn't put the bowl down! :)

Ingredients

12 cups popped popcorn (I used movie theater butter popcorn)

3 cups Corn Chex cereal

3 cups Frito's corn chips, slightly crushed

1 package (10-12 ounces) butterscotch chips

1 package (10-12 ounces) dark chocolate chips

     (I used half dark chocolate and half milk chocolate)

1. In a large bowl, combine the popcorn, cereal, and Frito's; set aside.
2. Melt the butterscotch and chocolate chips in the microwave, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth.
3. Pour the melted chocolate over the popcorn and toss to coat. 
4. Either spread into two 15x10 inch baking pans and cut into squares, or eat straight out of the bowl!
