Panettone Espresso French Toast

January 11, 2016 · 2 Comments

IMG_1477Are you going crazy with cleanses and juices, counting the days until you eat real meals once again. I often like to start the year with a cleanse, but this year I choose otherwise. My daily food mantra, even through the holiday when it can become hard not to indulge, is to eat clean, whole, and fresh. I will savor a cookie, cocktail, and carbs here and there, but this holiday season I actually became pretty much deathly ill two weeks before Christmas, and my weak stomach just couldn’t handle heavy foods. By New Year’s my stomach was back to normal, so I wanted to make sure I started the year off treating myself to a dish I really love.

I plan holiday meals and dishes well in advance, like any planner, and I specifically made a trifle with chocolate chip Panettone for Christmas just so that I could have leftovers to make french toast. Panettone is an Italian sweet bread, with either candied fruit, raisins or chocolate chips, that is eaten for Christmas and New Year’s, similar to Challah or Portuguese sweetbread we eat during Easter, which I love. I really do love this stuff; eaten fresh or toasted, but especially dredged in sweet milk and eggs, and cooked to crisp perfection. It’s just so good! If you’ve ever eaten french toast made with sweet bread, then you understand my excitement and love for this breakfast. Panettone Espresso French ToastIt’s not often I do treat myself to indulgent meals, so when I do, I make sure I still incorporate healthy ingredients too, creating a bit more of a substantial dish. A heaping dollop of protein packed greek yogurt, potassium rich bananas, raw walnuts, raisins, and just a drizzle of pure honey. I didn’t feel overly guilty, actually I didn’t feel guilty at all, I fully enjoyed this french toast, because no matter what, it’s delicious!

Panettone Espresso French ToastHave a slice or two, seriously, it’s not going to kill you or derail your healthy lifestyle. On the contrary, your mind and body will appreciate you treating it just a bit. Plus, french toast breakfasts are meant to be shared, so it’s more about the moment of sharing a yummy breakfast with loved ones than it is about consuming sugar and carbohydrates. So enjoy it! Start the year off, with balanced deliciousness, and this panettone espresso french toast. Panettone Espresso French Toast

“if the grief is real, the love is real” to f “if the grief is real, the love is real” 
to feel deep grief is to know great love🤍

From the moment I read these words, they have since become a part of me. I've been hesitant to share these words & photo, but felt the moment right. This is one of my favorite film shots knowing in that moment I had captured a cherished memory, one that would be unknowingly, the last. Yet it fills me w. so much love.

We all experience Grief & collectively we have been experiencing an immense amount of grief these last few years; whether it be for people, places or simply time a pandemic took from us. In all the moments of love & laughter I see at every wedding or party I have done, I always see the glimmers of grief too ... in the longing for loved ones too far to attend or those sadly no longer with us, the passing of time as little hands now grown into curious minds, families & friends coming together while others grown apart ... where there is grief, there is always love & joy intertwined.

When we care deeply, letting go of that kind of love is hard for anyone. When I lost my avô, my world shattered. He was my person & life is no longer the same, I'm no longer the same. But to have soul-stretching love, for a person or time, means we also risk the pain of losing it all -- that kind of love & living, well it's worth it!

“The best we can do is just hold & love each other, because life gets pretty rocky sometimes.” - Rob Delaney

NOT a sad post, instead one to remember to cherish the here & now🫶
Keep that rainbow of yours shining bright🌈💛 Keep that rainbow of yours shining bright🌈💛
