Time to Blog Again?

My daughter recently informed me that my sister was sick of looking "games galore" on my blog. Ok my non-blogging sister, I hear you. But wait before I attempt to post again let me put Gray down for a nap, finish unloading the dishwasher, reload it and change a couple loads of laundry first...then after I make my bed and hang up the laundry in my room, wipe down my bathroom counter, get Gray up from a nap to pick Lauren up from school and grab Luke's prescription on the way home I'll get this post done. But then I'll have to start dinner, get Nathan to soccer practice, help with homework, force my kids to practice piano, pick Gray up from hanging on my leg and get dinner dishes cleaned up. Blog, what blog? Oh that journal thing I'm supposed to be keeping on the computer so I can make it into a book someday and my kids will realize what a wonderful, fulfilling childhood they had because I kept track of every day, every activity and every recipe....Recipe? Now that is something I know how to share. After canning 31 jars of peaches this weekend I didn't really think about dinner on Sunday night. That's when my kids think it's really cool that we are having french toast for dinner and they don't really know it's because I forgot to plan ahead. Kids are so forgiving. Unfortunately this recipe is not....

Fluffy French Toast

Is it pancakes or is it french toast? Who cares! It's seriously yum! Next time you are in Walmart and they have oodles of french bread on clearance for $0.64 you'll want to buy numerous loaves to freeze just for THIS recipe.

Combine
1 cup flour
1 3/4 t baking powder
1/2 t salt
1 t sugar
1/4 t ground cinnamon

Combine
1 cup whole milk
2 whole eggs
1/2 t vanilla extract
1/2 t maple flavoring (just subt. more vanilla if you don't have this)

10 slices French Bread

Heat skillet over medium high heat and brush just enough vegetable oil to coat. After combing each separately, combine wet and dry ingredients, stir just until combined. Pour the batter into a 8x8 or similar size dish and dip pieces of bread into the batter, flipping to coat both sides. Place immediately on hot skillet. Flip when browned and brown the other side. Serve and enjoy!
