French Women Don't Get Fat

Hello again! It has been awhile since I have blogged...this whole blog thing is more time consuming than I thought! I am on Christmas Break now, so there seems to be an exuberant amount of time on my hands! I had an inkling tonight to make breakfast...for dinner! Being Christmas time and all, I had to add a little Christmas pizazz to whatever I was going to make! I absolutely love french toast, so I decided to make egg nog french toast! As my friend told me in high school, French women don't get fat, so you can eat as much of this as you want! ;) It was really easy, and I just made up the recipe! I would like to share it with you!
Egg Nog French Toast
Ingredients:
8 eggs
1/3 milk
2/3 egg nog
2 tsp ground cinnamon
12 pieces of Texas Toast

Crack 8 eggs into a bowl. Add 2/3 cup egg nog and 1/3 cup milk to eggs and whisk. Add the ground cinnamon and whisk until cinnamon is evenly distributed.
Now it's time for the griddle or pan! Turn on your stove top to medium (or around 3). Spray your pan lightly with a cooking spray and you are ready to make some Egg Nog French Toast! Begin by dipping each side of the bread in the egg mixture and placing on the pan. Allow 1-2 minutes per side. Once each side is golden brown and has a nice crisp to it, you are ready to plate it and eat it!
As my mother always told me...presentation is eve
rything!
Place neatly on a platter and dust lightly with powered sugar! Enjoy!

Starting Out

Cold weather has officially arrived! Thanksgiving is tomorrow, and Christmas is literally just around the corner! I love this time of year! The food, the smells, and the lights are all so inviting! I also love the fashion of this time of year! Layering is a simple way of making a cute, simple, and WARM outfit!
Here are two examples (courtesy of anthropologie.com) of how tights, sweaters, and scarves polish off this warm winter look. Don't forget the boots!
This time of year is also filled with parties! Who doesn't love a holiday party spent with family and friends? A sweet t-length dress is just the ticket for a festive Christmas party! Here is my personal favorite!

Pair with a fitted cardigan for added style and warmth, and a pair of heels to finish off the look.
More holiday splendor to come! Stay tuned!
