Citrus Sweet and Cinnamony French Toast



Breakfast is considered to be the most important meal of the day. It is the meal that kickstarts your metabolism, wakes your body up and gives you the initial fuel you need for your brain to start activating critical thinking skills.

There are those that cannot turn down a thick stack of pancakes, a dense and icing filled cinnamon roll or a maple soaked waffle.  I am more of a savory food lover and have a preference for an egg omelet with a ton of veggies and spice with a buttered English muffin. However, every now and again I can handle a sultry sweet and tantalizing breakfast and most recently I was introduced to an ice cream toped citrus and sweet French toast breakfast and I haven’t stopped raving about it since.

In Australia they not only have options for French toast other than butter, powdered sugar and syrup, but in fact, it is not uncommon to have ice cream with breakfast, especially French toast. I went to a friend’s house for a “light” breakfast the other morning and discovered the hidden secrets of Pandora’s French toast recipe box.

Here is what you need:
Regular French toast ingredients (Bread, eggs, skillet and butter)
Make French toast how you would when your mom would make it on Christmas morning, but while it is still warm squeeze fresh lemon over the top and then sprinkle a pinch of sugar and however much cinnamon you want. Try and keep the toast warm while making the rest and when a stack is as high as you want it to go plate it and scoop some vanilla ice cream over it.

Have it with ginger lemon tea and bon appetite.

Pin Your Ears Back

Is a term I heard from my friend, Craig, at a rubgy (aka footy) game a couple of weeks ago. There was a player struggling to plunge his body forward towards his goal line. I inquired what this loud sportsmanship request meant because I couldn’t work it out. To much of Craig’s surprise, I had no idea what this phrase meant and I was unsure about the context just as I am unsure how many rugby players can be on the field at once. So, he simply explained that “Pin Your Ears Back” when and when not screamed by a proud but disappointed fan simply means “Just go for it.” I laughed and thought to myself “that is my next blog entry.” Gold Coast. Love little Alex in the corner. Rafting down the Barron River. Hunter Valley Winery Tour   The reason this statement resonated with me so much is because it is true. We MUST go for it. We must throw the fear to the side and dive, cannonball or pencil jump into the cold deep end. We must thrust ourselves forward, meet strangers, ...

I Learned How to Hug a Porcupine

After living in Austin for 9 years, working hard, going to college, obtaining my Masters in Social Work, volunteering, working three jobs at once and having a decent social life I needed a change. I felt like there was something more and I wasn’t finding it in Austin.   I met this guy in Italy during my Euro adventure after graduation in 2007. This handsome, kind, funny, talkative, smart, sweet and sensual man and I kept in touch with for five years. He happened to be Australian. After conversing for some time we were both single in 2010- I met him in Sydney and then he came to Austin. Sometimes you reach a certain point in your life that you just have to take that jump. The first leap I ever took was with my brother when we jumped out of an airplane at 17,000 feet on his 25 th birthday. The second leap that I took was by myself to Australia. I ran through the motions. I figured out the visa, I submitted my qualifications, I had my license notarize...
