Sweet French Toast with Summer Berries

mmm Ahem… Hi… I’m back J

Ya, ya I know I did it again… Quite cheeky of me actually since my last post was an exceptionally long post about how I’d be better this year and that I’d stop this disappearing act and all that… But you have to forgive me, just this one last time. Why? Well, let me explain.

2013 so far has been..umm.. How do I put it? Interesting?? In the last 2.5 months I've had the scare of a lifetime and I've also been the happiest. We had a lovely holiday planned in January. We were going back home for my brother-in-law’s wedding. Two days before we were due to travel, I got news my Dad had suffered a stroke. Being the Daddy’s girl that I am, I did not take the news well. But thanks to God, he is slowly recovering and is now almost back to his old self. And in addition Renju’s grandmother, God bless her soul, passed away while we were in Kerala as well. But we were glad we were there and were able to attend the funeral otherwise I knew R would have felt very bad.

And in between all of this I have a bun cooking in the oven again, if you know what I mean!!! JJJ 

You can now  imagine how blogging took last priority on my list since the year began. But I’m back now, fully rested and full of energy to get back into it again.

So to declare truce, my first post of the year is something so sweet and so simple and uncomplicated that its guaranteed to be liked by your kids and even adults, especially if you're like me! You just can't go wrong with French toast, so enjoy...
