Well my roommate was feeling down and I needed a way to cheer her up. So, I decided to make French Toast with sweet Hawaiian bread. It came out good, something simple and fast to make. Even though we both used "light" maple syrup, on our toast, what kind of brand I should buy?

Seriously, it's that good vit? Himself is diabetic but he still cheats and has real syrup. We love the real stuff and would rather do without pancakes or waffles than use imitation. However, when we were back home in OH I made baked French toast for brunch one Sunday (love that our daughter now has a rental with an extra bedroom - we stay with her and I get to cook for my kids when we visit ) and didn't want to spend the big bucks on real stuff so we got a bottle of "Vermont Maid" sugar free. We all declared it acceptable. I'll have to try the "great".....if by chance you do happen to like pure maple syrup too, though, i've got just the thing: 'maple grove farms, low calorie, sugar free maple syrup'--30 cal. per 1/4 cup, and it is virtually indistinguishable from the pure maple syrup! honest, no joke....
J-river, do you deliver? Looks yummy. Your roommate is one lucky duck. The Kings Hawaiian bread was probably very rich and tasty. I'm particularly fond of using a nice, rich Challah bread for French toast.

... maple grove farms is located in vermont, btw, if that means anything....
I prefer syrup that I buy from Ohio. I buy 2-3 quarts per year and use a fair amount for BBQs.Vermont, Massachusetts, Ohio. They're all good! I must say, though, that as someone who was raised on OH syrup I prefer it best. We did a side-by-side with some local syrup and some we brought back from OH and thought the OH tasted more maple-y. Plus, even though the % of sugar is the same the OH tasted less sweet, just more flavorful. Must be my Buckeye tastebuds.

At 10:30AM, Sopressata on a 9 ounce loaf of home-baked Italian bread, garnished with roasted sweet red peppers and hot red pepper flakes
Glad to hear good stuff is available in your area.your yummy breakfast fare inspired my lunch selection, jpb. a few thick slices of pain de compagne from my favorite c-ville bakery, the flour garden, together with this unbeLEEVable chunk of old world style 'calabrese salame'--a very dear, but rare treat (made with sangiovese wine) swoon....
