When you start your work day soaked, and it's not so nice and bright outside, staying upbeat isn't easy. Last weekend we beat the Seattle Winter blahs by spending a whole day at Pike Place Market, meeting vendors and finding the most amazing foods!
The next morning, I cooked up some snowy, Yuletide cheer for brunch :) There is so much satisfaction in being home in your pajamas when the world outside is gray. Along with something fresh, fun, and colorful on the table to eat, we had steaming coffee and a warm fire.
I don't like our winter weather, but I love that we enjoy fresh produce all year round. Recent finds include amazing Strawberries, Fennel, Satsumas, and so much more!
This festive french toast is just day-old bread filled with perfectly red strawberries, bananas, green pistachio nuts (yes! I am going pistachio crazy! but I couldn't resist the crunch and the green :), amazing Saigon cinnamon, and nutmeg -- all topped with powdered sugar snow. I am looking forward to cooking up some more Yuletide treats in the coming week -- a Snowy Yuletide Toast was just to get me into the holiday spirit!!

Looks amazing, and I am not a french toast fan.
I have never tried french toast but I know, for sure, I'd love this!
I'd certainly not share. :)
bipolarlawyercook - Thanks - now that's a compliment - I bet you'd like mine ;)
patricia scarpin - You definitely would love it, knowing your tastes, and it's pretty big to share!
MPG--
I know I have seen a french toast recipe with bananas on your blog, and I can't seem to find it. Can you please direct me to the link or email it to me?
Thanks so much,
Kari
Hi Kari -
This is my only French Toast stuffed with bananas. I did make a Caramelized Cardamom Banana Toast ... if that is what you were looking for.
Enjoy and email me directly [mangopowergirlATgmailDOTcom] if you have more questions. I have no way to contact you as you haven't left me your email!
