Over The Fence Community Group
A quote from one of our happy Over The Fence members: "Hi JS- Thank you for the welcome message. Do you remember that show Home Improvement and the neighbor Wilson Wilson Jr. who would meet Tim the Tool Man at the fence, but never showed anything but his eyes? He was so funny. This group reminds me of those encounters... you get the wisdom, humor, and support from your DS...

Thanks, GEE Hmmm I wonder if I will ever be brave enough to try this? (I am a picky eater!)
I do love good old French Toast!
(I think I would skip the salt though)
Ingredients:
4 eggs
1 teaspoon sugar, optional
dash salt
1 cup milk
10 to 12 slices white bread
butter
maple syrup or other syrup
Preparation:
Break eggs into a wide, shallow bowl or pie plate; beat lightly with a fork. Stir in sugar, salt, and milk.
Over medium-low heat, heat griddle or skillet coated with a thin layer of butter or margarine.
Place the bread slices, one at a time, into the bowl or plate, letting slices soak up egg mixture for a few seconds, then carefully turn to coat the other side. Soak/coat only as many slices as you will be cooking at one time.
Transfer bread slices to griddle or skillet, heating slowly until bottom is golden brown. Turn and brown the other side. Serve French toast hot with butter and syrup.
Recipe for French toast serves 4.
2 cups flour
4tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 heaping tsp cinnamon.
Mix these dry ingredients first, then add:
2 eggs (slightly beaten)
1/4 cup sugar
1 3/4 cup skim milk
2 tbsp honey
1 tbsp canola oil.
Mix together, then add one apple, peeled, cored and shredded.
I love these, they are amazing! My fiance and stepdaughter weren't too impressed by them, but that's because they would much rather have sugary cereal in the morning than anything remotely close to healthy!
