I had grand plans for this post to tell you about this french toast, snowboarding, and a couple of awesome spots I hit while visiting a friend in Orange County but most of that will have to wait. I broke my dominate wrist last Thursday and while I’m trying to not let it slow me down- some things don’t happen as fast (like typing). So instead, just know, I went a little overboard buying citrus last week at the Farmers’ market and this french toast happened shortly after. The french toast base is my mother’s recipe (and my favorite) while the citrus topping is pretty loose and can be changed based on what you have on hand!
