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

I love Lisboa in June🌿especially those early da I love Lisboa in June🌿especially those early days w. remnants of the previous month still lingering…
the fragrant & gorgeous Jacaranda trees lighting up cobblestone alleys lined w. pastel colored buildings, becoming more vibrant as Summer’s heat begins to near….
Walking along the Rio Tejo feeling so close to the sea but not quite there & the streets not yet crowded w. vacationers basking in the city’s delight … walking around Lisboa is certainly a creative treat!! I’d love to be able to squeeze in a little summer travel; change of scenery is always such an inspiration, especially when life seems a bit crazy these days. 

Any fun summer travels planned? Hope everyone enjoys the first weekend of summer🌼

how fleeting you have been sweet, darling June… how fleeting you have been
sweet, darling June…

it seems we’re all being kept too busy these days, I don’t want the simple treasures of this month to go by so quickly but it’s like I haven’t slowed down enough to catch my breath between events & to do’s — not since my birthday, these flowers & a cake I enjoyed making too much to photograph. They weren’t for my birthday, but for someone else’s, but it really was the joy of creating this arrangement however way the color yellow called to me, foraging for delicate peonies, garden roses & stems that would make these uniquely special🌿

Not the most picturesque photo of these beautiful florals (you can swipe for those), but I’m quite enamored w. this shot … perhaps it’s that gentle reminder to slow down & take note of the in-between…
