Chai Spiced French Toast

When I am out with my 4 year old, people often tell me to “enjoy this time because they grow up so fast”. I just smile and say that I will. I know the years fly by because my oldest child is 21, but I also know that there are days that feel like an eternity when you are the parent of a young child.

I do realize how precious time is and for that reason I especially appreciate my Thursday afternoons. My oldest son, Grant, gets out of college early on Thursdays and usually has lunch with me. Occasionally we go out, but usually we have lunch at home. I cherish our time together knowing that it won’t be long before he flies the nest. It is doubly nice because after we have lunch together, he usually gives me a break and takes his little brother outside to play. I find I am much better able to “enjoy this time” with my 4 year old after I have had a little break. 🙂

Today Grant requested scrambled eggs for lunch and I was happy to oblige! While I was getting the ingredients out, Grant unloaded the dishwasher and picked clover so I could make tea (and photographed it because his weird mom is a blogger). He was being so helpful that I decided to thank him by making French Toast to go with our breakfast for lunch. I couldn’t decide what spices to add and finally decided to add a little bit of all of our favorite spices and created Chai Spiced French Toast.

Use a shallow dish to make it easier to soak the bread in the egg mixture.

I use a  Misto Oil Sprayer to coat my griddle with oil. You can melt 1 tablespoon of butter if you prefer.

    Great recipe..even greater kids. Either by genes or early training, they sure sound like intelligent, caring, helpful people. The world needs more people like this.

    Yum! Great combination of flavors. I need to make French toast, I love it and I haven’t had it for a while.

    The recipe sounds innovative and tasty, but even more than the recipe, I like hearing the story about you and your sons. When I blog about an event surrounding food, it spurs my thoughts to return to the memory the next time I make that food.

    Here’s to a lifetime of recalling special lunches with Grant and Andrew every time you have chai french toast!

      I also connect recipes to past memories: The first time I made it, the friend who passed along the recipe, the special time with family and friends.

    This is one of those recipes that make you smack your forehead and proclaim, “of course!” Brilliant.

Welcome. I'm Alea!

On Premeditated Leftovers I share simple recipes made with whole foods, practical shopping tips, time saving techniques, and meal planning strategies. I also share tips for minimizing food waste, so more of the food that is purchased ends up on the table.

While volunteering as a budget counselor, I realized that food is the element of most people’s budgets where they have the greatest control. I set out to develop low-cost recipes from scratch to prove it’s possible to create delicious meals on a limited budget. Eating well while spending less is about more than just creating recipes using inexpensive ingredients; it’s about creatively combining ingredients so you don’t feel deprived and are inspired to stick to your budget.
