Happy New Year!!!

I am wishing everyone a happy New Year, hopefully 2013 will be better than 2012 for everyone! We will be going sledding with the kids then coming back to drink some sangria and watch the countdown. Here's what we ate for New Year's dinner. I'll have all the recipes posted in a few day. Enjoy!!

Eggnog French Toast

I made eggnog french toast not too long ago and it was definitely a hit at my house. I saw it on Pinterest from this blog http://www.adventuressheart.com/2011/12/eggnog-french-toast.html, it looked so good I just had to try it. I am the only person who like eggnog and 3/5 of us like french toast. So I decided that since I was the only one who liked both I would make it and if nobody else liked it I would just freeze it and have more for me. This french toast recipe was sooo good, not only did I think it was good but one of my boys who doesn't like french toast or eggnog ate 2 pieces!!! My youngest didn't eat any of it but that's pretty normal for her. I didn't have any leftovers. I was still thinking of the french toast the week before Christmas. Since I plan out my meals and make my list Thursday or Friday before the week I need it I decided that eggnog french toast NEEDED to be included in Christmas morning. So that's what we had, eggnog french toast, I made more this time,and Johnsonsville breakfast sausage, and this time I had leftovers to freeze. I didn't get to take any pictures of though, I ran out of camera battery. Here's the recipe, i hope you enjoy it as much as I have!!

Eggnog French Toast

1 loaf of sourdough bread, sliced as thick or thin as you want (The first time I used 1/2 loaf of pre-sliced french bread)
1 1/2 cups eggnog
6 eggs
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg (can leave it out if you don't have it)
1 tsp vanilla
cooking spray for pan

Mix up all ingredients in a bowl except for bread and cooking spray. Heat a pan over medium heat. Spray with cooking spray. Dip a slice of bread into the mix, turn to get both sides coated in egg mixture. Pan fry until golden, about 2 min the flip over for another couple of minutes. Repeat with remaining bread.

I just top mine with maple syrup, but top the french toast with whatever you choose!
