French Toast Made Fancy – Episode 7
Written by Rachel, Posted in A Cooking Show with Rachel O, Abundant Harvest Organics, This Week's Feast, Thoughts
When planning this week’s menu, I was thinking about the wonderful pears that are in season right now, that we’ve been getting in our Abundant Harvest Organics boxes. We’ve had a lot. They’re great raw, as a snack, or alongside a sandwich. But, I was thinking that it would be fun to try something special with them. I was featured a few months ago on my friend Joanna’s blog. I posted a version of my recipe for Stuffed French Toast. She has told me how much she loved it (I made for her before posting on her blog) and that she has made it at home too. In the first version, I used peaches and blueberries (because that’s what was in season at the time). This week, I thought that since we have so many pears, I could put them not on, but in this French Toast. They’re cooked with a little bit of honey, and, well, you can watch the video to see the rest.
It’s a fun meal, that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Yes, dinner. Breakfast for dinner is a great way to change things up (and a great substitute for whatever your go-to meal is when you forgot to take the chicken out to thaw, or plan something for dinner at all). It’s quick, easy and you probably have all the ingredients you need at home already!
You could serve this meal with a fruit salad, bacon, fried potatoes/hash browns… Any or all of those would be just fine with me! AHO sells bacon (as if I could go a whole post without talking about bacon!), eggs, honey, milk, and nuts as add-ons (I’ve tried almost all of them, and have LOVED what I’ve tried). We got potatoes in this week’s box, and maybe you have some oranges and apples left from a the past two weeks to make a quick fruit salad. (No? Me neither. We ate them all. They’re just too good to last long!) Enjoy!

The girls and I were watching your videos and it made me miss you! Good work, I am so excited for you and this new adventure.
Aw, thanks, Jody!! I miss you too! I think about you often and wish we lived closer!
This is my favorite meal to make and eat! After you made it at my house, I started to make it ALL the time- so easy and so good! My husband loves it!
I’m so glad you love it!!! It was fun to make it for you. 🙂
