Who doesn’t love French toast? I love it, but to find the perfect side to go with it, is sometimes such a nightmare. You are supposed to have syrup with it. Seriously a huge sugar rush first thing in the morning is not really how I like to start my day. So I just skip … Continue reading Peanut butter stuffed french toast

Eggless chocolate cake with fresh cream and caramel
