Why is this toast so happy? Because it has a steaming hot cup of peppermint coffee standing right behind it and because this past weekend was so wonderful.
Holiday preparations so far have been really crazy so all week I had looked forward to this past weekend where we had nothing planned.
It was such a productive weekend. Here is my list:
Played with my daughter,
my husband Chris and I made stuffed pork chops together,
made it through a killer yoga class,
got the house vacuumed,
the kitchen cleaned,
presents wrapped,
made a casserole for a friend with a sick little boy,
took TWO baths,
sat on the couch with a magazine and some Candy Cane Lane tea, and
(on top of the delicious Happy Toast) ate a hot, crispy, peanut butter and jelly sandwich on raisin Ezekiel bread with a side of Greek yogurt and blueberries for dinner last night. I savored every bite.
What is your idea of a wonderful weekend?
Happy Toast
Ingredients
1 Egg
EVOO spray
Sea salt and fresh ground pepper, to taste
1 slice whole grain bread
Directions
1. Preheat a small skillet coated with EVOO spray over medium heat.
2. Spray both sides of your bread with EVOO and cut a shape out of your choice. (Cookie cutters would work really well here).
3. Toast one side of the bread a bit then flip. Crack the egg in the center, season with salt and pepper and let it firm up a bit. Slide your spatula under the egg and toast and flip. (Both the bread and the middle cut out if you saved that). Let that side cook to desired done-ness. I usually do about a minute.
4. Slide on to your plate and garnish with two blueberries for eyes (optional). Enjoy!

How cute! I used to make toast and put a hole in it and put an egg in there, yours is cuter though. I am not sure why you can't see the pics on my site, can you see any of them? Some of my older entries I lost the pics on (long story), so that could be it.
It sounds like a wonderful way to spend the weekend.
My idea of a great weekend is to keep busy the entire
two days. Saturday would begin with a long run (I would
be REALLY happy to go an extra mile than I did the week
end before). Then settle in for a HUGE egg white omelet
breakfast (if I had some of that Peppermint Coffee that
might keep me smilin' all day). Go for a massage (no less
than 90 minutes). Get home and do some baking...but only
because I wanted to. Relax and watch a great movie. Ahhhh...
it's only a dream. Thanks for asking :) Happy holidays!
your toast is so cute! I love that you gave it blueberry eyes :) sounds like you had a wonderful weekend. :)
The happy toast made me smile, thanks.
How cute!
