Don't you think it's about time that we create a Family Cookbook? Well, I DO! I've spent some time researching trying to come up with the easiest (free) way to get it going, and I believe this is it. Please post any of your favorite recipes, also any tips -- cooking, household, beauty, whatever -- and any inspirational thoughts (whether your own, or someone else's.) I would LOVE to have pictures to include as well. You could take pictures of the dishes/recipes you are submitting, or even just great pictures (or even below average pictures) of you and your family!

Please label each post with an appropriate label (i.e., salad, dessert, vegetarian, household tip, inspiration, etc.) Go ahead and add labels as needed; and it's ok to have more than one label per recipe/post.

My plan is to take what we assemble here, and put it into book form. I would love to have it ready for our Thanksgiving Extravaganza!

Thanksgiving French Toast

The French Toast James and I made at Thanksgiving is based on this recipe.  I usually just wing it as far as measuring.

Ingredients

  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch dissolved in a splash of milk
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
  • 8 slices stale white bread or 6 slices thick cut stale bread
  • Butter, for griddle pan
  • Warm maple syrup, powdered sugar, cinnamon sugar and/or fresh berries for topping

Directions

Preheat nonstick griddle or skillet over medium heat. Beat eggs very well, add sugar and beat again. Add cornstarch in water and beat that in, then add milk and nutmeg. Coat bread thoroughly in egg-milk mixture. Lightly butter hot pan with butter nested in paper towels. Add bread to the pan and cook slowly, 3 or 4 minutes on each side, 2 to 3 slices at a time
