Baked French Toast - Club Baked

I grew up, eating French Toast but my French toast was cooked in a pan and was rather plain.  It was good but since then, I have had stuffed French toast and now this Baked French Toast with fruit.

We are lucky gals since Julie selected this great dish from Baked Explorations: Classic American Desserts Reinvented - Hardcover (Oct. 1, 2010) by Matt Lewis, Renato Poliafito  for Club Baked.  The recipe can be found on her blog, A Little Bit of Everything.

I followed the recipe, as written, except for the delicious fruit on top.  I used peaches and they were just right for the toast.  Instead of frying, the toast is easily popped into the oven.  I had a half a loaf of challah around so I used it and it does make good French Toast.


I have just spent an hour, looking for the photos of my French Toast and I am not getting anywhere.  I wonder, if they got deleted.  I am going to continue looking but, for the moment, I will let this go without the photo.

I was lucky enough to get a new camera, about two weeks ago which is when I baked this.  I did lose some of my photos, learning how to use the camera and my guess is that these were amongst them.  I am having lots of fun, playing with the lighting, on this camera.  Having choices is wonderful.

    Sorry you lost your photos. I misplaced my camera one year and lost photos for several recipes, so I understand completely!

    I didn't get to make this recipe this time, but I have also never had the baked form of french toast. Will have to save this recipe!

Thai Chicken San Choy Bau

It says, "thai" so I have to like the Thai Chicken San Choy Bau that we are making this week in our Donna Hay Wednesday group.  It was a bit spicy and the chopped chicken was a nice change of pace. Kayte selected this recipe from On the Shelf on page 124.   I tried it with the greens and it was very good and then I put it on spaghetti and it was spectacular.  My toddler granddaughter even liked it.  Must have been the hot sauce. I used romaine for the greens and I subbed in red pepper and added some Sirracha to spice it up to make up for the real chilis. Do check out the other cooks' dishes at our   Wednesday with Donna Hay site.

Brussels Sprouts - Power Food - Re-post

Another week, another vegetable for our Power Food group, a bunch of women who strive for healthy eating with the most delicious dishes. Each blog is inspiration . Each week, we choose a recipe based on the power food which comes from the book, Power Foods, 150 delicious recipes with the 38 healthiest ingredients from the editors of Whole Living magazine. Brussels sprouts like broccoli and cabbage are cruciferous. This group offers a unique composition of antioxidants that may provide several health benefits. Brussels sprouts are low in calories and offer protein, vitamins and minerals to help build a healthy human. My first issue with brussels sprouts is that it took me years to spell it correctly. Each time, it came up, in writing, and I admit, that was not too often, I would stare into space asking myself does brussel get an S, at the end or is it sprout that gets the S. For some reason, I could not remember that both end with that S. I am happy to tell you, I overcame thi

Carrot Cake _ Power Food - repost

Another week, another vegetable for our Power Food group, a bunch of women who strive for healthy eating with the most delicious dishes. Each blog is inspiration . Each week, we choose a recipe based on the power food which comes from the book, Power Foods, 150 delicious recipes with the 38 healthiest ingredients from the editors of Whole Living magazine. That week, we concentrated on carrots. I like to check out our vegetable, not only for health benefits, but also for the names of their sisters. Carrots are related to parsnips, fennel, parsley, anise, caraway, cumin and dill. I didn't have a clue about many of these. I, have never seen carrots of other colors or at least, if I had, I didn't know, they were carrots. I am going to a good produce store, looking for purple or red carrots, to start my search. It is fun, shopping when purposely looking for new vegetables. I have definitely expanded my horizons. When, I was thinking about what to make with carrots, I
