Surfing Ruined My Life

French Toast

Mmmmmmmm….French toast and even better breakfast.  For the longest time I was not a fan of hot breakfast.  During a period of about eight years I ate nothing but cold cereal every morning or oatmeal. Over the last few years I have come to love a nice hot cooked breakfast making it one of my favorite meals of the day.  French toast is one of my specialties and is sure to please the pickiest of eaters.
