I had made a couple of loaves of sourdough bread last week. I had some bread still left over, so I decided to make French toast this morning. I mostly used this recipe, although I upped the cinnamon and vanilla, added nutmeg, and used Natalie's almond milk instead of whole milk. Still, it made for a very yummy breakfast, especially since we splurged on real maple syrup with one of Christmas gift cards.
Speaking of gift card splurges...I also bought a jar of almond butter with that gift card. I love almond butter. I wanted it on a piece of sourdough toast for breakfast one day last week. However, I discovered something terrible. Someone had opened the jar at the store--and used their fingers to draw a smiley face in the almond butter. :-p YUCK!
I had already thrown away the receipt, because I don't keep them after the charge has cleared the bank. Thankfully, Target was gracious and exchanged the product anyway. Sadly, apparently this isn't unusual, although the manager said that it was normally cosmetics that the culprit opened and defaced. How utterly spiteful and wasteful!
I meant to use some leftover chicken in tonight's supper, but I ended up making homemade macaroni and cheese instead. We ended up doing kind of a "meatless Monday" even though I hadn't planned it. I'm pondering trying to do it more often though. I also made these pumpkin muffins, although I used white whole wheat flour, almond milk, and again increased the seasonings. Oh, and I omitted the chocolate chips because of Natalie.
I'll probably make more sourdough bread tomorrow. Gotta to keep using the starter regularly so that it doesn't go bad or lose its "oomph."
I'm tracking our grocery spending this month, trying to lower it from last month's total. However, I'll confess up front that the gift cards will certainly help with that. The real test will be next month! ;)
Rather boring post, I know. Maybe someone will find the recipes useful.
