Episode 2

French Toast

Megan and I had the opportunity of going camping this past weekend in Jackson Hole Wyoming, with two of our friends. For breakfast I made my own version of what I believe is the best french toast in the world!!! One day it dawned on me while I was eating french toast at home that there had to be a better way of eating french toast. So through a combination of eating it at restaurants, watching the food network, and my own ideas, I came up with this recipe. It really is a simple meal to make, and to make it even easier you can make the batter the night before along with the whip cream. Another thing that we discovered as we were camping, the day after we filmed this episode we tried the syrup again, but this time we used whipping cream, and we discovered that it was even better than with the buttermilk. So feel free to use ether one. But this is a must try recipe, your saturday morning breakfasts will forever be changed!

Okay, you guys are amazing! I like Todds affirmation in there... "I'm awesome!"
I whole-heartedly agree about the homemade whip cream. Cool Whip is for the same people that eat chef boyardee.
I've only made my own maple syrup, I'm excited to try your recipe.
Miss you!
