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}
