French Toast

I tried this recipe today for Sunday lunch and everyone loved it. I can't remember the last time we had french toast, so I had to look up a recipe. This is from allrecipes.com :)

• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup milk
• 1 pinch salt
• 3 eggs
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon white sugar
• 12 thick slices bread

1. Measure flour into a large mixing bowl. Slowly whisk in the milk. Whisk in the salt, eggs, cinnamon, vanilla extract and sugar until smooth.
2. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium heat.
3. Soak bread slices in mixture until saturated. Cook bread on each side until golden brown. Serve hot. 

Meatballs

My family has been requesting Spaghetti with Meatballs lately, so I found this recipe on allrecipes.com and gave it a try. I let them cook in the sauce for about 20 minutes and it turned out great. I used a smaller cookie scoop to make the meatballs easier for my kids to eat. We have also used this to make mini-hamburgers, another request from my kids and I baked them in the oven at 350 for about 15-20 minutes. Both variations were yummy.

1 pound ground beef (I used ground turkey)
3/4 cup italian bread crumbs
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
1 egg, beaten

combine all ingredients and shape into meatballs.
