Oh my...she just cooked again!

I have stated before that I am not know for my cooking skills but I just impressed myself with dinner and I just have to share. I am really trying to eat out less and cook more but was intimidated with cooking Asian styled food. Today, I thought it was time to conquer my fear!

The result:

Experimenting with breakfast....

So if you know me, you know I love most things pumpkin flavored from lattes to beers, but today I tried something new with sometching old.

I made French toast with International Delight Pumpkin Pie Spice creamer.

Super simple and super yummy!

 

Ingredients

Day old French bread

2 eggs

2/3 cup of International Delight Pumpkin Pie Spice creamer

Pinch of Spices 

(like cinnamon, vanilla, and nutmeg)

Butter for cooking

Mix together creamer, eggs, and spices in a flat baking dish. Slice bread in about 1 inch slices.

Place the bread in single layer and soak for about 10 minutes, flip the bread and soak another  10 minutes.

I used a large cast iron skillet but a griddle would work too. 

Butter the skillet well.

Cook on both sides until it is a toasty brown color. 

Plate the toasted yumminess, dust with powdered sugar, and drizzle with maple syrup!
