This morning I decided to make something diffrent so I made some french toast, scrambled eggs and hashbrowns. My family was so suprised. I hadnt made french toast in a long time.
French Toast brings a smile:
8 slices of bread
A bowl,
a pinch of salt and pepper,
3 tbsp. of milk if u want ur base thick, if u want it thinner add more milk, 1/3 c. also depending on the size of bread.
optional (for flavor 1/2 tsp of vanilla)
Beat this all together and place the slices of bread in liquid mixture then turn the bread over so that the other side can pick up egg coating. Do not let bread sit in there for a long time, and become soggy.
Take bread after dipping in egg coating and place in pan make sure you have a light coating of oil, turn on low heat so not to get them to brown on the outside to fast. Place each slice one at a time in the pan, let it cook for about 3 minutes depending on your pan and stove heat. Turn to the other side and do the same. Place on a plate cut in triangle slices or long strips of 3. Sprinkle with powdered sugar, just a small amount is needed. Then sprinkle with your favorite syrup. You are ready to serve.
Remember that you might have more egg mixture left over to make, it all depends on the size of your eggs and the size of bread you are using.

Family Traditions
My favorite Thanksgiving is a traditional one. I love my turkey roasted, my grandma always made two dressings (bread & cornbread), sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes, greenbean casserole, giblet gravy,cranberry sauce, pumpkin pie, pecan pie, banana pudding. I have noticed there are so many ways to make these dishes and change them up. But as for me I want the origional. I dont mind introducing a new dish here and there but i still have to have the same dishes. I did change one thing up this year I brined my turkey the day before. Your saying whats brine, well its a liquid of flavors and seasonings that you actually soak your turkey in. This made my turkey so juicy and mouthwatering that I will make this a new tradition.
I was to tired to post this yester day and to busy to stop and type anything. Because I made thanksgiving dinner for about 11 people. Then I cooked another thanksgiving dinner for 8 people. I love cooking and it a way that i can show and share my love. So I hope you made some awesome memories and traditions that will last in everyones heart for many years to come. I know that my boys will either hold on to our traditions for years to come and they will make some! So go cook up some love because I know I am!

Breakfast for my Boys!
Today is the 1st day of my boys lil vacation for Thanksgiving week! So they let me know ahead of time they wanted me to make them some tortillas, and chorizo, eggs and potatoes. mmm mmm love making my boys tummys happy.
My Tortilla reciepe:
about 4 cups of all purpose flour
open your hand and pour some salt in the lil bowl part of your palm this might be a 1/2 tbsp. I use 2 of these. Then 2 pinches of baking powder.
2 good hand fulls of shortening or Lard (your preference).
Mix the dry ingredients real good, then add the shortening and mix this in real well now add some water. I have never measured how much and this will be a guess but i think about 1/2 a cup kneed the dough till you have it looks like bread dough. But you might need to add more water if during your mixing if you notice it still real dry or lumpy. Not to much if you do just add some more flour and mix together. I then make sure that my dough has some elaticity to it. place it in a container with a lid for about 30 minutes or more to rest. There you have it you are ready to roll them out i make lil golf ball size balls then take them and make them flat. I put a lil flour down in my clean area. Also rub some flour on your rolling pin. You place your flat ball down use your rolling pin to roll it out. This will take practice to roll perfect round tortillas. I had a few that came out like shape of Texas but hey I live in Texas what can I say. You should also have your griddle on at this time I would say at medium heat. take your rolled out dough place on the griddle, watch for bubbling, when you notice this then its time to flip it over and cook for a few minutes on that side. Have a sheet of foil ready and place in the foil and repeat for as many as you need. This receipe makes about 2 doz or a lil more. Have fun and when you put love into what your cooking it will show. So Cook up some love!
