Restaurant French Toast



 I learned how to make French Toast when I was about nine years old. It's probably one of the first things I learned how to cook on a stove. Even now as adult I still I really enjoy it for breakfast with my kids. Now I can make it a little fancier but not much has changed in how I make it.

Ingredients: 5 slices of bread (sour dough if possible)
5 Eggs
1 tbsp. ground cinnamon
2 tsp. nutmeg
1/2 stick unsalted butter
1 cup powdered sugar or brown sugar
1 tsp. salt
1-2 cup syrup
(Serves 2 adults or 1 adult plus 3 children)

Savings: 10-20$

Surf and Turf Kabobs

Kabobs on the grill are a great way to save time and still have a great dinner. Forget about a long clean up after dinner of washing pots and pans and cleaning the kitchen. Forget about slaving over the stove preparing the main course and all of it's side dishes. The biggest challenge is cutting up the vegetable's and meat and sliding them onto a skewer; fire up the coals and your done!
