French Toast and Fake Yoga

This weekend Trevor and I are on a mini-vacation as we house and dog-sit for a friend. It's comfy and cozy, we get dogs to play with, and the bed is ridiculously soft.

I actually packed boxes of food to bring over because I had just gone grocery shopping a few days ago and also just picked up our organic CSA box from Hood River Organics (love them... If you live within the Columbia River Gorge and are looking for some quality organics, check them out and tell them Breanna Whittle sent you! ;)  ). So anyway, I didn't want anything to go bad and figured it would help us eat well and not buy junk food while we're away.

This morning we had some amazing French Toast using items I brought from home and a few spices I found here. Yummy, easy, and fairly clean eats!  I used almost entirely organic ingredients, but of course that's up to you. ❤️

Clean French Toast

Serves 4

8 slices whole grain bread

3 eggs

1 cup almond milk

1 tbsp ground cinnamon

1/2 tsp ground ginger

1/2 tsp ground nutmeg

1 tbsp vanilla extract (OR 1/2 tbsp vanilla extract and 1/2 tbsp hazelnut extract)

1/4 cup maple syrup

butter or coconut oil for pan

Whisk together all ingredients (except the bread of course, silly). Heat butter or oil in pan on medium heat. Dip a slice of bread entirely into the egg mixture and place in the pan, continuing with more slices of bread until there is no more room in the pan. Let cook until golden brown (approximately 4 minutes) and then flip to cook on other side until golden brown. Remove from pan and decorate accordingly (butter, peanut butter, syrup, fruit, anything!)

Continue process with the rest of the bread, greasing the pan between batches. 

This afternoon, my friend Richelle came by and we spent some time at the park practicing our yoga (which we are both new at...very new). We were calling it Fake Yoga until we realized that we actually could do some legitimate poses! We were both pretty proud of ourselves and both have some goal poses that we are going to work on. I just can't wait for my PiYo workout to get here so I can get even more flexible and toned!! And Britny and I have been doing some serious planning for the PiYo Test Group and are so excited to get going! *One more week, one more week, one more week....* And we're still accepting members for our Test Group that starts on the 30th!

And noooow for some cuddle time with dogs that don't belong to me! :D
