French Toast and Berry Butter

I have a new obsession.  It’s called The Pioneer Woman.  I just recently discovered her site.  Yes, I have been living in a cave…or Iowa.  We’re a little behind on cool stuff here…

One of the first posts I read was a recipe for berry butter…

It looked delicious.  I knew I had Nate had to make this for us.  Actually, I made the butter.  Nate made the French toast.  We are a dynamic kitchen duo (that’s for my brother…he hates when I write cheesy crap).

We followed the recipe exactly.  And it was delicious.  And pretty.  You could totally trick people into thinking you slaved away on a beautiful breakfast with this recipe…and it’s easy.  I mean, I made the pretty butter.  I almost didn’t post this so my secret wouldn’t be out…

Nate usually makes French toast with the whole egg but he just used the yolk (as suggested) and now we won’t go back.  No crusty, eggy tasting French toast for us.  Bring on the cholesterol. 

Although our final product isn’t quite as pretty as Pioneer Woman’s, it was still quite tasty…

She suggested adding powdered sugar and we might try that next time…only because we like our sugar.  Sugar. Sugar. Sugar.

What’s your favorite French toast topping?  I am usually a strictly peanut butter and syrup girl but this recipe is giving my peanut butter a run for it’s money!

And on a totally unrelated note…who’s watching Big Brother?  Do you like when they bring previous contestants back?  I’m not a fan but I’ll keep watching…

Anddddddd my blog buddy, Mindy, over at Finding Silver Linings has just opened an Etsy site full of cute brooches and headbands….and she is having a giveaway….enter here!!
