French Toast – weekend breakfast

When I was a girl I loved to make French Toast with my dad on the weekend. My boys love it for their weekend breakfast. My (almost) 4 year old son, Punky, loves to make it with me. He has just learned to crack an egg, he does the whisking and also slides the cooked toast onto the plates. Punky loves it so much he asks for it most mornings. We save it as a treat on a day where lunch will be late and we are going to have a busy morning.
This weekend was the local monthly Farmer’s Market. I religiously go along each month. This weekend it was in the pouring rain but there were plenty of devotees who braved the weather. I have my regular supplies that I stock up on each month. I should have taken a list as I got home without some items I needed. Depending on what is in season I usually buy lots of fruit, as we don’t grow any except lemons. I use the fruit to make baby food for Cuddles (10 months old) for the month. Somehow I forgot this. Cuddles has grown 4 teeth in the past couple of weeks so I can move from mush to more chunky foods. With that in mind my small shop is not too much of an issue…More on baby food another day. Have a look at some of this months stash!
