Recipe Review
Today’s
Recipe and Location: Cinnamon
Raisin Baked French Toast
Found
in: The Pioneer Woman blog
I have enjoyed many of Ree’s
breakfasts and this one sounds spectacular. This looks like a great recipe to
have on Christmas morning. I also recommend her Croissant French Toast, which
was so decadent. I just love breakfast foods and Ree is an expert. The only
reason I didn’t make this dish is because I absolutely hate the texture of
raisins. Do something special this year and try this dish.
Gabbin’ About Gratitude
I
am so grateful for my parents and the way I was raised. I grew up in a loving
family and never had to worry about where our next meal would come from. We
took family vacations that were wonderful and never wanted for anything. A big
thank you to my parents who raised me with strong morals, a positive work
ethic, and the ability to live self-sufficiently.
Memory Musings
I’m
writing this on Saturday night at 7 p.m. As I was flipping through the
channels, I came across “It’s a Wonderful Life” on NBC. A wonderful and yet sad
memory came to mind. My Dad loved a good joke. During the holiday season, my
Dad would call me and say, “Oh my gosh, hurry and turn to channel whatever.” I
knew what it was, but it was something he did because he knew that I thought
that they overplayed this movie. He would always tell me that he knew I
wouldn’t want to miss it, and I would laugh.
What
I wouldn’t give to have received his phone call tonight. Oh Dad, there are so
many memories and through these tears I am going to watch this movie and think
of you.
