Hi! Well I went home from work today due to, what I'm pretty sure was exhaustion-induced nausea. I have quite a history with sleeping issues, I'm a chronic tosser and turner and have a very difficult time "shutting off my brain" so I can get some rest. This week has been especially bad and I think my body is just kind of off-kilter. It doesn't happen often that it actually causes nausea, but this is not the first. Anyone have any good sleep suggestions? I've tried many and I'm willing to however many it takes to find something that works for me!
Anyways, I have had a crazy/hectic month and haven't had much time for blogging (sorry!), so I thought I'd take advantage of the afternoon and do some B-in-B (Blogging in Bed!).
A couple of weeks ago, I made a REALLY DELICIOUS breakfast! I had been craving french toast! This was so simple and took me maybe 10 min to make.
Strawberry-Vanilla Stuffed French Toast
- Heat skillet to medium-high heat.
- In a shallow dish, mix 1 egg, splash of vanilla soymilk, sprinkle of cinnamon and sugar, and a small splash of vanilla . (sorry for lack of accuracy!)
- Separate 1 sandwich thin dip each piece in the egg mixture before placing in the skillet.
- Flip until desired browness.
- "Stuff" with ~1/3 cup vanilla greek yogurt.
- Top with sliced strawberries (preferably orgranic, look at the color!!).
- I also used some maple syrup!
This was sooo tasty! Plus, this version of stuffed french toast is lower in fat (didn't use butter, heavy cream, or even a whole egg), higher in protein (go greek yogurt!), and richer in nutrients from the whole grains and organic berries than any version I have seen in a restaurant!
The one issue I had though is that it lacked the staying power that I typically acheive with an egg white sandwich or oatmeal. I was hungry for a mid-morning snack a whole hour earlier than normal. Next time if I make this, I may drizzle some almond butter over it and even add some granola for a crunchy topping. That should hopefully do the trick!
