Moms French Toast

 I love my French toast!  It is the perfect perfection of challah bread and cinnamon.  Growing up my mom made French toast frequently for breakfast during the school week.  Yes we were spoiled to have amazing breakfasts of pancakes, French toast, eggs and sausage or bacon pretty much every day.  Moms French toast was regular sliced bread (none of us were fans of whole wheat fread French toast but we dealt with it).  The egg, cinnamon, sugar, milk and vanilla recipe was standard but that cinnamon never really seemed to mix completely making the French toast blotchy with cinnamon blobs.  Again dealt with it.

Then I moved to the bay area and discovered, ie. Met and fell in love with, my favorite bakery, semi Freddie's.  Who make the best cinnamon twist bread.  Yum

Mia Cocktail

  Mia Cocktail This drink was created so Mia could enjoy a festive drink anytime we had an occasion for celebrating.   We started making it for her when she was about 5 years old and it has stood the test of time!  Love you Mia! Tangerine Juice (sweeter than regular orange juice, Trader Joe's has it!) Rose's Grenadine Bubbly water (any kind is fine) Pour Tangerine juice into festive glass, pour a bit of grenadine on top, it will make a pretty layer and then sink to bottom.  Top with bubbly water to give a bit of a fizz.  Give a quick and light stir so as not to mess up the layers too much. Adult versions: Add some citrus vodka and/or substitute Prosecco for the bubbly water   Fun and festive!
