Since our kids have been big enough to stand up on a chair without falling off, we have got them involved in preparing our food. The girls are enthusiastic assistants whenever we are cooking something. For Christmas this year, we gave Hannah a recipe book, so that she could start cooking by herself. So far we have had Cheesy Bacon Fries (Oven fried chips with cheese, bacon, sour cream and sweet chilli sauce – like a heart attack on a plate).
Since this triumph of salt and cholesterol, Hannah has been eager to have a go at making something else, so on Saturday we had French Toast for breakfast. Although it was nearly lunch by the time breakfast was served, it was delicious.

3 eggs
1/2 c cream
1/4c milk
1t orange zest

I can honestly say that it was the best tasting french toast I have ever had. The subtle taste of the orange zest, cinnamon and honey were beautifully fragrant. The berries cut through the sweetness of the syrup perfectly. Here is something for breakfast on Saturday morning.
