IHOP French Toast with Coconut Syrup


This has to be the best breakfast recipe find this year. This gem comes from one of my favorite blogs.  When I first saw "coconut syrup" I was a little skeptical, but was I wrong. Last week I mixed it up by using Mexican vanilla instead of cocnut extract, but hands down the coconut syrup is the best! The flour you add to the french toast recipe really does the trick. I like to use Texas Toast for my french toast, but the Sisters like to use italian bread, so do what makes you happy. Give this recipe a try, I promise you won't be disappointed!!

IHOP Freanch Toast
from The Sister's Cafe

2 eggs
½ c. milk
1/8 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla
3 T. flour
6 slices of thick sliced French bread

First beat eggs, then add remaining ingredients with electric mixer. Dip both sides of bread and place in hot buttered pan, or griddle. Flip over when browned. Serve with Coconut Syrup.

Coconut Syrup

1/2 cup butter
3/4 c. buttermilk
1 c. sugar
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp coconut extract

Place butter, buttermilk and sugar in a large pot (when you add the baking soda, it will bubble up!!). Then turn stove on medium and stir until butter melts and sugar dissolves. Bring to a boil and boil one minute. Remove from heat and add soda and flavoring. It will bubble up; just continue to stir and give it a few minutes for the 'fizz' to reduce before serving.

Asian Chicken Lettuce Wraps

I am always looking for fast, easy and nutritious meals for my busy weeknight meals.  These wraps have become one of our family favorites.  We serve these with a side of wontons or potstickers to complete the meal. The filling can be made ahead of time and reheated if your day is extra busy. Bibb lettuce is our favorite, but feel free to use iceberg or even romaine for this dish. I hope you enjoy these as much as we do!

Scrumptious Sugar Cookies

Sugar cookies are one of my favorite things to make with the kids! It's tradition to make them for a few different Holidays including Valentine's Day. While decorating is the usually the main purpose in making these, over the years I have tweaked the cookie recipe and frosting to make them absolutely scrumptious as well! So much yummier that buying a store-bought mix and canned frosting.  I would even be so bold as to say I think they are every bit as good, if not better, than Swig and Crumble! Give them a try and see if you agree.   My Scrumptious Sugar Cookie Frosting is an ultra creamy, cream cheese frosting with a few extra additions that put it over the top! Sour Cream adds to the creaminess and takes the sweetness down a notch.  The frosting is still plenty sweet but not sickeningly so.  Butter Vanilla Emulsion is my other secret weapon that really elevates the flavor of this frosting! It can be found on Amazon, or in a craft store like Michaels,  but...

Great Harvest Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bread

Kirsti sent me this recipe about a year ago and we've made it several times since.  It's easy and delicious!  I love making Pumpkin Bread in the fall when the scent of pumpkin and sweet spices fill up my kitchen.   Sometimes I surprise Brynlee with this for an after school snack and it never fails to brighten her mood after a long day.  In fact, I think this delicious pumpkin bread would brighten anyone's day!
