So we were having a lazy morning together, the movie we were watching was finished and we found ourselves watching "Diners, Drive-ins & Dives"- a family favorite here.
And they were doing a show on breakfasts.... one little roadhouse was doing french toast with a
twist- they were crushing corn flakes and breading the bread with it before it went into the pan....
And being the ever creative
brainiac that she is...
Oni said, "Momma- can we do that- only with
Cinnomon Toast Crunch????"... at first I said no- knowing that the potential for kitchen disaster was looming in my future.... but then said, "sure, why not..." Sure, why not???? What the hell was I thinking???? But I went to work setting up
misen-
plas (yeah- can't spell it) but getting all the ingredients out and together... and away we went!
Oni figured she should get to learn how to make it since it was her idea.....I agreed. :)
We made our egg, cinnamon, nutmeg & vanilla mixture, coated some two day old sourdough bread, dropped in the breakfast cereal that I had run through the food processor and dropped into a nice hot pan with a
smidge of olive oil.
And my ever-so-proud sou-
chef Onika zipped around and gathered and put away.
Here she shows off her brilliant idea and hard work in the kitchen- and we all agreed- it rocked! :)
The reason you are seeing more food posts lately... is that the girls and I were talking the other day- and we've decided to start a book for them- for when they grow up and leave home- our own cookbook, with mommy's photos to go with our family favorite recipes. And that way- now matter where they go- they can
always have a piece of home with them in the kitchen. :)
