Sourdough French Toast Recipe! by Gina Smith
Detoxifying the body has become an apparent key preventetive measure
to all kind’s of health problems. Since most of us are busy, and unable or
unwilling to maintain a strict diet in order to completely eliminate all the
toxins from our bodie. We have chemicals building up in our bodiess day
after day. Since these chemicals are not harmful in small amounts, only in
larger accumulated amounts, we don’t notice side effects until we are
much older.
I got an idea one day when I was in a Cracker Barrel restaurant eating
breakfast. They had sourdough French toast and it was the best French
toast I’d had, so I wanted to re-create the recipe at home. Detox diets
are used to refer to diets, herbs, and other methods of removing
environmental and dietary toxins from the body for general health.
I haven’t gotten this down to a recipe with exact measurements, but I
usually use:
Pepperidge Farmhouse Sourdough bread slices about 1 to 1 1/2 or so
cups of milk 1 or 2 egg whites (or the whole egg, if you prefer) cinnamon
and/or sugar (optional) Mix the milk, egg whites, and cinnamon and/or
sugar together. Place both sides of each bread slice into the mixture to
saturate the bread.
Most of the time I use Pam cooking spray to butter the pan, because it’s
easier and quicker for me to just spray every time to keep it from sticking.
But if you prefer butter or margarine, that’s fine too.
Substances that are potentially toxic to our bodies are everywhere.
Pollution, petroleum based products, pesticides and other compounds are
harmful to our bodies. Our organs, including the colon and liver, are
responsible for removing the toxins and waste materials from our bodies.
But when these organs aren’t functioning up to standard we become
tired, break out and have digestive problems. More serious illnesses may
result.
The first slice you should cook for a few minutes on each side. Then with
the other slices, after the pan has had a chance to really get hot, it only
takes a couple of minutes each side to get it brown.
Depending on how much of the milk and egg mixture you let sink into
each slice, it can make from 4-8 sourdough slices. I like to use strawberry
syrup, but you can use any syrup you like. You can even make your own
syrup by mixing two cups of sugar, one cup or water, a teaspoon of
vanilla extract and whatever flavoring (strawberry, blueberry, cherry) you
want. Bring it to a boil, then lower the heat and let it simmer for about
five minutes.
For thicker syrup, you can add clear Karo syrup, too.
And to finish it all off, you can add a couple of (big) spoonfuls of Cool
Whip (or any whipped cream) on top. Yummy.
Enjoy!
We are aiming here to rid the body of garbage therefore it’s important to
make the diet as light and healthy as possible but to have something you
can live with for at least 2 weeks. It’s no good going on a herbal tea and
brown rice diet if you can only do it for two days!
