Funny. Just starting a blog seemed to empty my mind. Oh, the pressure. Anyway...
Many bloggers, at least the ones I follow, share favorite recipes. I'm just a beginner cook, so I'd like to share wonderful recipes I've tried. Yeah, seriously, at my age, I'm just learning. It never occurred to me that I didn't know how to cook. No one taught me, I just did it. My first husband ate everything, so I didn't know the difference. I thought my second husband was just picky. Well, he is, but I still didn't know how to cook. I was too busy working full time to even think about it. All I cared about were putting the "three basic food groups" on the table for my family. At least I offered the right food, right? Not exactly. The vegetables were out of cans. The meats were prepackaged and frozen. Pasta dinners came out of boxes. Apologies to my kids. I was honestly doing my best at the time.
About a year ago, I cleaned out our cupboards of processed foods. I'd decided that healthy food was good medicine, and by God, my husband and I were going to get healthy. You can't get rid of processed foods without learning how to cook. And, who would have thought, with the time and resources, I love to cook! Like I said, I'm just a beginner. This morning, I made French Toast. It's the second time I've used this wonderful French Toast recipe from Alton Brown. I don't know what that was I used to make, but this is the only way I'll make French Toast from now on. It's crispy on the outside with a creamy custard on the inside. As you can see, I like sour cream instead of syrup. I follow the recipe exactly. And, I stopped mid-scarffing to take a photo for you, too. Enjoy...
French Toast on the Food Network,
