Okay, so this is basically the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever made in my entire life.
And I am not sorry about it one little teeny tiny bit.
It’s already two weeks into January, which means we have SUFFICIENTLY repented for the indulgences of December. It’s totally time for some peanut butter banana bread topped with a peanut butter glaze and brown sugar-candied bacon. Right? Work with me, people.
One of my main foodie resolutions this year is to eat more whole, natural foods. I want to make as much of the food that we consume as I can at home, to control the ingredients and the flavors and make sure there’s no weird aspartame lurking where it shouldn’t. I mean, we all need some full-blown, no-holds-barred cheddar goldfish or potato chips every now and then, but for the everyday, I’d like to try to up the ante on the natural-ness of our food. Honestly, it’s not that I’m generally bad at this, but we all have room to improve, right?
It’s January 4th, which means that well-intentioned resolution-makers are busy strapping on their FitBits, busting their ass at those pilates classes, and eating kale like it’s goin’ out of style.
Unless you’re me and you broke your toe by running into a couch on the last day of 2014 and you’re spending a whole lot of time with your bffs sweatpants and remote control. That’s cool too, right?
At least I have the kale part.
Question: Will I ever get tired of the combination of bourbon and vanilla bean?
Answer: No. Never. Definitely not. Especially when it’s all wrapped up in a super rich, crispy and creamy French toast that is just begging to be your warm and cozy not-leaving-the-house-or-changing-out-of-these-pjs-all-day Christmas brunch.
