Hello, lunch-eaters!  My morning has gone well; it looks like the notecards won’t be finished until tomorrow but my labs are totally up to date.  My pumpkin pudding smoothie held me over well but I did snack on a bowl of red grapes while I worked.

By noon it was time for lunch.  When I received a Nature’s Pride sample as part of the Foodbuzz Tastemakers program I actually was sent two loaves.  I seem to hardly ever eat bread and I was worried that Adam would move too slowly and we’d develop a mold problem, so into the freezer one loaf went.  Once we were ready for more bread we simply moved the loaf down to the fridge and gave it a few hours to defrost.  This is a good solution if you find a bread(product) sale at your grocery store too.

With 12 Grain I made a yummy french toast, so I knew that would be good for 100% Whole Wheat as well.  But I was feeling adventurous.  Which led to…….

savory french toast!  I sanwiched sliced turkey, Crofter’s North American Superfruit Spread and dijon mustard between two slices of Nature’s Pride Whole Wheat.  Then I dipped the ‘wich in a mixture of egg/.5C chicken broth.  I cooked it for ~3minutes on each side in a pan with .5T Smart Balance Light.  Finally it got topped off with maple syrup, Chipotle Tabasco, and squeeze cheese.

Mmmn.  I loved this mess mix of flavors!  Next time I would leave off the sqeeze cheese (which I mostly ate around anyway), but we had it and it looked fun.  I doused it with hot sauce the the spice/egginess combo was perfection.

I am watching an episode of “Mercy” while I eat my lunch and then it’s back to work.  I think I will cook dinner before I leave for class, but I’ll post it this evening.  All that really matters is that I remember my lab goggles!

Have you ever tried savory french toast?  What’d you think?  {I realize this is similar to a Monte Cristo}
