I am so excited to start hitting up the local farmer’s markets. Fresh berries, green beans, cucumbers, and corn. I cannot wait. This year I planted tomatoes, jalapenos, banana peppers, basil, and pickles. Hopefully, we get lots and lots of pickles. I plan to actually pickle some, but mostly I plan to eat them right off the vine. Best part of summer. I could eat strawberries for every meal. Winnie also loves strawberries and blueberries. I wish that I could get her to eat broccoli as easily as she eats blueberries. The girl is going through a picky stage. She will only eat blueberries, strawberries, bananas, grapes, almond butter, and cheese. She even refused the mushroom ravioli I gave her tonight. I hope someday she likes vegetables as much as we do.
One other thing she will eat is toast. This morning I put avocado on her toast and she wanted nothing to do with it. But give her French toast with maple syrup and she will gobble it right up. She is a smart girl; avocados are gross. Healthy, but I hate them! Winnie loved this French toast we made though. She kept saying mo’, mo’, mo. In Winnie speak, that is a very good thing. I am more of a pancake girl myself but Cliff, Kelly, and Winnie all enjoyed this toast. You really can’t go wrong with cinnamon raisin bread and fresh berries!
Here is what you’ll need
Soak the bread in the egg mixture
