Happy National French Toast Day!

Blogger of the Day: Alanna at The Model House Wife

Alanna isn't actually a housewife...she's a successful model and accomplished photographer working hard and living healthy on both coasts! She has a fantastic eye for capturing fashions, feasts and faces on camera, plus she whips up simple vegan treats like this easy French toast...so crazyyumful!  :)

French toast can be made with almost anything...just soak, heat and eat. I've experimented with applesauce, banana mash, cashew cream, parsnip puree, tofu, vegan yogurt, melted ice cream, spicy nog...with grainy breads or sweet breads or quick breads...whatever happened to be around at 10am (or 2am!). Sometimes it works, sometimes it ends up slightly soggy or extra crispy...doesn't matter if you slog it with enough syrup or heap it with more ice cream!  ;)











How do you usually have French toast? What's the wildest French toast recipe you've ever tried or imagined? If someone gave you a pro camera, what would you photo first?  :)

If I had to make up rules for my kitchen they'd go something like this:

• Be creative...think outside the BettyCrocker box!
• Be courageous...try a new ingredient or skill every month!
• Be a kid...mess up, be silly, share and bellylaugh your bloomers off!

Candice rocks every single one of them! She's like Tigger and Julia Child rolled into one...you never know what's coming next but it's always crazyfun! She's the perfect person for today's foodholidaypalooza...February is jampacked with edible celebrations and today is a nexus of the best...

Happy National Sticky Bun Day!

Blogger of the Day: Nathan at Vegan Dad
Pubs: The Vegan Dad Cookbook

Sticky buns always make me think of sleeping in on lazy Sunday mornings and waking up to the sweet smell of homemade breakfast happiness. Thanks to Nathan's spectacular sticky bun recipe I can stir up that breakfast bliss with a vegan spin and you can too! Put the dough together before you go to bed Saturday night, sleep in a nice long time Sunday morn, finish off your bun construction and pop them into the oven, then go watch cartoons or play with your animal companions or surf your favorite sites. Timer goes off and you've got yourself a bunful of yum! Just one with your coffee or vegan milk will fill you up for a morning of fun...or some more lazy sleeping if that's how you roll.  ;)

Vegan Dad is a charmer to me because he's astonishingly creative, he fearlessly explores all sorts of cuisines and he's a baking genius...hello Vegan Challah and Easy Vegan Croissants! He reminds me a lot of my dad...exuberantly enthusiastic about cooking delicious food and teaching other people how to do it too!  :)












How do you like to make sticky buns? What's your favorite Sunday morning breakfast? Do you rev up in the early hours or are you a stayinbed sleepyhead? Are you fearless in the kitchen?  ;)

Happy National Almond Day!

Blogger of the Day: Amanda at Cupcakes and Showtunes

It's Sunday, which means you can eat breakfast all day. That's just an unwritten rule. If I owned a vegan diner I would serve hot tofu scrambles, hearty waffles and heavenly French toast on Sundays...and generously Hunger Moon-sized pancakes. Today they would be Amanda's crazyyumful Almond Butter Pancakes cuz it's National Almond Day and those are the rules.  ;)









Hop over to Amanda's new blog A Sweet Soliloquy too!

How are you celebrating National Almond Day? Are you eating breakfast all day? If you owned a vegan diner, what would you have on the menu?  :)

T and Toast

Happy T-day...it's Thanksgiving and National French Toast Day!
Across the planet the universal language of gratitude is a homecooked meal...for me, that means waking your family up with the tempting smells of a crazyyumful breakfast! French toast is one of my favorites to make...rich and filling, yet easy enough to let you sit down and enjoy the meal too. Say thank you to friends, family and yourself with a sweetly drenched stack of toast this T-day weekend!

Enjoy your Vegan T-day...cheers!  :)
