Afternoon everyone ….

First off…

A VERY HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY to every single mother out there.

Because with out you there would be no us…..

So I put in a seventeen hour day on a job yesterday. Just so I wouldn’t have to go back and finish it up today.

My plan was to wake up early as always. Run out to the bakery to get fresh brioche bread to make my special French toast for mom. I also picked up mini cheesecakes for dessert while I was there.

Since I’m in a good mood I’ll share my secret recipe for the best French toast ever!!!

Brioche bread is a must, first and foremost.

This recipe is for 4 slices of French toast. So if you are making more do your math.

3 eggs
2 TBSP of brown sugar
2 TBSP of Ceylon cinnamon ***
2 tsp of pure vanilla extract
1/4 cup of half & half
2 TBSP of real maple syrup
A pinch of Himalayan sea salt

Mix all the above ingredients in a bowl first. Slice up four slices of brioche bread about 2” thick. Place the bread in a large casserole dish and pour the mixture over it. Turn the slices after a minute or two. In another minute or two most of the mixture should be absorbed.

I use a flat cast iron stove top griddle plate, but any pan large enough to cook all four slices at the same time works.

Turn the flame on medium/low. Place the slices on the griddle and cook till golden brown on the first side. Flip and repeat the same.

Toppings are optional, because this French toast has a fantastic flavor on its own. I usually sprinkle it with a light dusting of super fine powdered sugar. But you could use maple syrup, fruit like strawberries, or blueberries it’s up to you.

So now that mom is fed and the dishes are cleaned. I headed out to Costco to get mom her flower arrangement. They hands down have the nicest flower arrangements for a reasonable price.

Here’s moms flowers:





Not that I’m cheap by any means but for $40, how could you go wrong.

Since this day is all about mom. I’m also making her favorite dish for dinner. Which is chicken Parmesan with penne. So shortly I will be starting to make my tomato sauce.

Hope all the mothers out there have a fabulous day…
