Can't Believe I am Blogging about a RECIPE!!!


If you know me...AT ALL, you know that cooking is NOT my thing. In fact it stresses me out. Even thinking about it makes me tired and crabby ;)
But I am a wife and mama and my family needs to eat, so I try.
Now I am not one of those women who sit and talk about the latest recipe they just tried. When other woman around me start to list off a recipe, I shut down. I mean really, they have these things MEMORIZED! A cup of this, a tablespoon of that, brown the meat, sift the flour, 350 for 45 min then uncover and change it to 300 for 20 more min....and it is done when it "looks" done!!!!! I mean REALLY????
How can you keep track of it all in your head?
My brain shuts down and I can't really take in the "recipe".
The other day, while my mom and I were rocking babies and visiting...she did it....she shared a recipe!!! So I did my best to follow along...and this one turned out to be SIMPLE!!! I mean REALLY SIMPLE!!! Not simple in my moms terms, her simple is a 7 step process. But this one...I kept in the back of my mind and told myself, maybe I could try this one!
So this morning I made everything up for French Toast (known to my kids as "snow pancakes, because of the powdered sugar that looks like snow). And I thought to myself...just try it and see how it turns out. And so I did!

Peanut Butter and Jelly French Toast Rolls!

Cut the crust off the bread and spread peanut butter and jelly ( I used black berry) on it.

Roll it up

Roll in the (egg, milk, vanilla, cinnamon),
or how ever you make your french toast mixture and cook


Cover with some powdered sugar and enjoy!

Now I did not give this to my kids, and my husband gave it a funny look. But I was optimistic. And I sat down to eat them...and to my surprise IT WAS SO GOOD!!!!! Anyway, if you are looking for a new way to eat some French toast, give this one a whirl!
