For My Valentine

“Oh, wow!” was my first reaction too!

These have to be some of the most beautiful pieces of French toast we’ve ever made here at Fit Foodie HQ. We wanted to make an epic Valentine’s Day breakfast (dedicated to Mark, of course), so I thought I would make his most requested breakfast of all time >> French toast!

We’ve been on a huge sourdough kick lately because we love the chewiness and flavor of it. So so sooooo yummy.

Maple Syrup vs. Aunt Jemima

I grew up eating some of the best French toast on this planet. My mom was a huge fan and she’s the one who introduced me to my main lady, Aunt Jemima. Nothing like some good ol’ AJ on top of French toast made from Wonder Bread. Thankfully I’ve upgraded since the 90’s to real maple syrup because it doesn’t get much better than that.

I feel like we go through way too much maple in this house, but not only is this natural source of sugar better for you, but I absolutely love the flavor maple gives. I’ve also upgraded from white bread, too. While this is a store-bought sourdough, I love going to a local bakery called Rustica for a fresh loaf here in Minneapolis.

Back to the maple syrup, do you keep your syrup in the fridge or the cabinet? I feel like this is always a huge debate. I’m a fridge girl. What about you?

Strawberries & Whip

I thought I’d make this sourdough French toast extra special with some strawberries and cream, one of my favorite flavor combos. Plus, strawberries were on sale and you know I’m a sucker for a good sale.

I’m sure you’re wondering how the cream is “healthy.” Well, we tested a few different versions and came up with a lightened up one that’s perfectly sweet and a little bit tangy. It’s made with half heavy whipping cream and half non-fat Greek yogurt and is sweetened with honey.

^^ I promise you are going to love it and so is your bae.

I eat sourdough every. freaking. chance I have, so this is right up my alley. The whipped topping looks wonderful! Love it.

I never would think to use sourdough in French toast, but it sounds awesome. I love sweet toppings on sourdough, and the whipped cream looks so, so good!

Yum! I used to totally keep my maple syrup in the cupboard until last year. I buy the big jugs at Costco and apparently maple syrup MUST be refrigerated. Mine started to turn moldy, I brought it in, and they informed me it needs to be in the fridge after opening. Luckily they are still AMAZING and gave me a new one anyway ๐Ÿ™‚

I’m embarrassed to say that I’ve never had/made french toast with sourdough, I think it’s the missing piece in my life! French toast does not get any better than this!

Yay sourdough! I’ve been making my own since I took a class that introduced me to the world of having your own sourdough starter. ๐Ÿ™‚ I am definitely putting strawberries and heavy cream on my grocery list week because these look SO GOOD! ๐Ÿ™‚ Is it Saturday yet?!

PS. I used to be a fridge girl but now that I have also grown up and use real maple syrup, I keep it in the cupboard.
