Almonds for Breakfast!

I made this for my family this weekend and it was an absolute treat! It's the basic french toast recipe subbing in Almond Milk and Almond Extract as opposed to regular milk and vanilla extract.

Topped with fresh strawberries and bananas...

Topped off some more with blueberry infused maple syrup!

Food meets Fashion!

My two loves in life...food and fashion...finally they meet in the most eloquent way possible!
