As you may know, you can Frenchify just about anything. In the past, I’ve made french toast danishes and stuffed french toast sandwiches. I happened to have some sunflower seed bread kicking around and decided to give it a shot.

I just love this bread to bits. I get it at the IGA grocery store here in Hull. If someone knows where you can get this in Ottawa, please let me know!

My french toast mix is simple… a few eggs, a bit of milk, cinnamon and vanilla extract. As you can probably tell, this morning’s mix happened to get quite a bit of vanilla extract!

I threw them on to my new griddle which I’ve been meaning to blog about… it’s over 2 feet wide and can be submerged in water for cleaning. I’m totally in love with it.

Since the bread was thick, I let it fry for a while…

I just added a touch of maple syrup, took some pictures, then went to town. The texture of the sunflower seeds really makes this quite delightful. The extra time I took frying these suckers up meant that they just had a hint of crispiness too.

YUM :-)

Oh. My. God.

Candy for breakfast? Yes please. Link.

The key is the low heat!

Payment 2 for fixing KJ’s computer was in the form of breakfast at Louis’, over at 181 McArthur Avenue. It was full when we arrived, just before 11 a couple Sundays ago, so we had to wait a few minutes before getting seated.

I had the eggs and sausage:

If we had shown up earlier, I would have gotten the bacon egg special for $3.75! I think I’d like to try the pizza from this place sometime as well…

Thanksgiving. The holiday of two of my 3 favorite three deadly sins: Gluttony and sloth. I’ll leave the third unnamed.

Like most Canadians, we spent the last night feasting with family or friends and wake to find a fridge jam packed with leftovers. I am no exception. There was but two of us this holiday and a 20lb turkey that was prepared with all the trimmings. That’s 10lbs of turkey each to be consumed over the next few days, not to mention the trimmings. Some will be turkey sammiches, some will be turned to soup and/or pot pies and some will even become breakfast. This morning was day one of turkey for breakfast.

I started with leftover bacon (which was used to keep the turkey moist) and used the leftover mashed potatoes for tater pancakes.

Then I threw some leftover roasted potatoes in a pan with some butter and got them warming.

I then chopped up some turkey meat and stuffing, yes stuffing, and added a few eggs and a small spalsh of milk.

Once it hit the pan, I threw in some S&P, savoury, majoram, thyme, sage and parsley and cooked it like scrambled eggs. The smell eminating from the pan was savoury delicious and instantly made my tummy groan with hunger. (It was noon after all!)

All that was left was to plate it all and enjoy our refurbished turkey dinner. A little dolup of cranberry sauce made my strange breakfast concoction perfect.

I have to admit, the stuffing in the eggs added a bit of an unusal texture to the whole thing, but it was still a tasty addition to my eggs.

All thats left is clean up, figuring out how to incorporate pie into breakfast tomorrow and a nap. Darn turkey and its tryptophan laden goodness!

Burp!
