hazelnut crusted french toast

before our recent trip to oregon,

dawn told me about the famous breakfasts

at the multnomah falls lodge.

however, our timing was early evening,

not breakfast.

i read their online menu, and have had visions of

hazelnut crusted french toast ever since.

well, we made some today.

to make your own,

use your favorite french toast recipe

with this twist:

dredge the batter-soaked bread

in finely chopped hazelnuts before frying.

the lodge serves theirs with

marionberries & lemon curd,

although with chopped peaches & nectarines

and maple syrup, ours was delicious.

i think you could use any finely chopped nuts:

pecans, almonds, walnuts, macadamia nuts,

even peanuts {served with grape jelly}.

feeling it

waldorfish, that is.

{we bought the full lesson here}

i'm spending lots of mental energy

on how best to school ned.

we have homeschooled this year

using a wide variety of resources,

including curriculum from oak meadow.

waldorf education has always appealed to me.

i visited a waldorf school when i was 18

and thought i might like to

be a waldorf teacher someday.

maybe that day is now,

even if my class size is just 1.

i am loving waldorfish.

especially this and this.
