French toast

I made french toast (recipe below) and tempeh bacon (recipe from Isa Chandra Moskowitz’s awesome Vegan Brunch). Ben made vegan pancakes and tofu scramble. Yeah. we had a lot of food. It was very, very good. There was maple syrup involved.

Here’s how to make the french toast:

    * 1 can coconut milk
    * some (a half cup?) almond milk (you can use soy or anything else you have around if you want)
    * 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
    * spices of your choosing (I like 1 teaspoon of cardamom, 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg)
    * 1 teaspoon salt
    * 1/2 tablespoon cornstarch
    * a loaf of bread (can be stale or not; I like whole-grain sourdough or something with  cranberries and pumpkin seeds in it)
    * some oil (olive, canola, coconut) or non-hydrogenated margarine for the pan

   1. Combine all the ingredients except the bread and the oil in a casserole or  large, shallow bowl and mix well.
   2. Heat a skillet or griddle pan over medium-high heat and add some fat.
   3. Dip slices of bread into the mixture; make sure they are soaked through.
   4. Put them in your hot skillet. Check them after a few minutes, and every minute or so after that. Flip them when they’re browned to your liking.
