Cinnamon Raisin French Toast


My son was closing at work last night. He is lucky that his managers let employees bring home the leftovers which prevents them from going in the dumpster. He brought home a loaf of cinnamon raisin bread. He has never brought this item home. He mentioned that other employees use it for French toast. I usually use challah bread. This time we used the cinnamon raisin. 


I did an egg mix with soy milk, vanilla and cinnamon. Then we put it into the frying pan with a little vegetable oil. About 3 minutes on each side (until they start getting brown). We used GF bread for YD. 


They came out delicious. Sometimes we put strawberries with powered sugar on top. I didn't have any so I had a side of apple sauce. 


We even have some leftovers for another day.

    Very nice French Toast. It's so great that your son gets to bring the leftovers home at the end of the day.

      Some of the managers let them take it home. I understand if it is being donated but that is only once a week. My son's managers usually let them. A friend's daughter works in a different store and they never let her take leftovers home. I guess it is up to the managers.

      You are lucky. Our state allows restaurants to donate their remaining products to local homeless shelters, so all of the Panera's here have dedicated "gleaners" who pick up the goods each night and distribute them the following morning. Most of the shelters here have a hot night time meals but rely on several bakeries and such for morning meals.

    Yum, yum, yum! That looks so good. It is a real blessing that your son gets so many baked goods. It would be awful to have all that thrown away! I do have a partial loaf of gluten-free raisin bread....hmmmm:). I'm getting ideas.

    I have been using things up, but finally had to go get a bunch of groceries today. It was still a fairly low grocery bill ($35) so that was nice. And, I needed around $20 more from another store, but now I'm loaded up again. I'm laying in groceries for the niece and nephew that will be here all weekend, starting on Thursday.

      There is usually 4-5 people closing. Most people take stuff home. That is a lot of food leftover. $55 for groceries is wonderful. I know we shop similar, doing sales, coupons and Ibotta. Have fun with your niece and nephew. I can't wait to hear all about it.

I hope everyone is healthy and doing alright with our new normal. When the weather permits I have been out side working on the gardens. My kale never died the winter because it was so mild. It recently started growing again.  I was able to pick a nice bunch this morning. I will be incorporating it into our meals this week. YD loves smoothies and always tosses some kale in. The gardening season has finally begin! Have you harvested anything from your garden yet this year?

Oreo Got Hurt

Image
She is OK and that is the most important thing. We are not sure exactly what she did to herself but she started limping Monday night. I checked her paw to make sure there was nothing in it. Hubby and I decided to block the stairs and have her sleep on the first floor. She usually sleeps in our room. Hubby brought down her bed to the living room. In the middle of the night she did a loud yelp. You have to step on her for her to yelp so it was very strange. Hubby and I flew down the stairs to check on her. She was in pain and didn't want to put her foot down. We got her to lay down and I got ice on her leg. I wasn't sure if it was her paw, leg or shoulder. She finally went back to sleep and I did too.  YD is the first to get up and I heard her walking around. 2 minutes later Oreo let out another huge yelp. I ran down the stairs and she was in the kitchen. She had an accident on the floor and wanted to go outside. We have one little step out the back door and she had no prob...
