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

Let's talk what really makes a Victorian holiday.. Let's talk what really makes a Victorian holiday...did you know many of our Christmas decor & traditions are directly from Queen Victoria's reign. A maximalist aesthetic rich in jewel tones that incorporated many elements already on hand & found in nature🎄🎀

What are the key design elements of a Victorian inspired Christmas.... 

- Christmas Trees. Prince Albert popularized it from his childhood in Germany. These trees were adorned w. candles, sweets, fruits, small gifts & handmade paper chains
- Ribbons!! There's a reason ribbons were a popular for the holidays, they were affordable & easily made from fabric remnants. They’re a Victorian signature
- Fresh Greenery. Beautiful mantels & bookshelves lined w. fragrant evergreens come from a time where embracing seasonal nature was the norm
- Candles! There’s nothing more magical than the flicker of candlelight. Original trees were decorated w. real candles. Thankfully we can now use electric candles to adorn ours
- Indoor decorations. Holiday home decor we love was almost all handmade! I think it's why so many are drawn to this aesthetic. Greens tied w. ribbons, mistletoe balls & wreaths hung, paper decor all carefully made
- Stockings were popularized, but mostly kept simple w. embroidered names
- Simple Intentional Gifts. Christmas wasn't for elaborate gifts, it was a time to gift fruits, nuts, sweets & small handmade trinkets. Games, dolls, books, apples, oranges & nuts were most popular
- Decorative Food, for eating & decorating. Oranges adorned w. ribbons & whole cloves became beautifully popular pomanders.  Christmas fruit cake, mulled wine, sugar plums -- all Victorian staples still adorning our tables & comforting our souls
- Christmas Cards. Christmas Crackers. Handblown Glass Ornaments...all holiday traditions we still take part in, all from a time long ago

❌DONTS for a Victorian Christmas....
- Colorful Lights 
- Snowflakes
- Jolly Santa...Victorian Christmases depict a less merry, slenderer St. Nicholas in a long robe often in white, green or blue✨
Tie a bow on it! There hasn’t been a bow or fabr Tie a bow on it! There hasn’t been a bow or fabric ribbon delicately tied that I haven’t been smitten with. And yes, bows are everywhere. Last year’s holiday table was a gathering of cherished family heirlooms, timeless design details that have forever imprinted in our present, the invigorating calm scents & textures of the winter season that set the scene for simple magic✨🎁

A little minimalist, very much nature driven & a t A little minimalist, very much nature driven & a touch old world....the itch for a Victorian inspired holiday table was already blooming last year🎀

Despite what social media & what others may pressure you into believing, you do not need to buy new holiday decor. Bring out the fancy stuff, make something handmade & heartfelt. I’m a firm believer in finding joy in the things we already have, making new traditions with the old, creating simple but immensely special details that become cherished memories❄️
