Cinammon Vanilla French Toast

Image
This recipe is hugely popular. So much so that I am not sure where it originated so I am giving the credit to Mendez Manor . Ingredients 6 slices of thick bread 5 eggs 2 tablespoons milk (I use 2%) 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon 1 tablespoon butter 1/8 cup powder sugar (optional) Directions Soak each piece of bread in the egg batter and place onto the skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes and then flip over and cook the other side. To serve I like to cut each slice into triangles and layer them on a square plate. I always Beat eggs into a medium size bowl. Add milk, vanilla, and cinnamon. Mix together. The cinnamon will clump slightly and that is okay. On the stove, over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon of butter and coat bottom of a large non-stick skillet. finish it by off by using a sifter to sprinkle a little powder sugar on top. It looks pretty and compliments the cinnamon. This recipe serves 3 - 6 people.

Join the drama club, a team, do volunteer work but realize that too many activities are as bad as none. If your high school doesn't offer a sport you like look at what your town offers. Where you get involved does not matter as long as you are. Having said that college admissions officers wonder how you could do well in high school and have time for so many extra curricula acti...
