French Toast

6 eggs
1 1/2 cups milk
2 TBSP sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla
1/4 tsp salt
pinch of cinnamon
bread

Beat everything together. Except the bread!
Heat pan over medium heat. Butter the pan, cause that will make it tasty... and not stick to the pan. Dip bread in batter and cook on the pan ~4 minutes per side. This is Gordon's favorite.
If you eat too much, just run a couple extra miles to burn the calories. It's all good. =)

Lisa's Oatmeal That Kids Will Actually Eat

5 cups water
2 1/2 - 3 cups oatmeal
2 TBSP whole wheat flour
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
sprinkle cinnamon
1/2 cup unpacked brown sugar

Bring to boil, simmer ~5 minutes, and serve with milk and toast.

Yummy Fluffy Waffles

1/2 cup butter melted
6 eggs separated
4 cups flour
1t salt
1 t baking soda
4 cups milk
1 T sugar

Place egg whites in medium glass or stainless steel bowl and whip stiff peaks. Mix egg yolks, flour, milk, salt, baking soda and sugar. Fold in egg whites and butter. Cook in waffle iron until done. Makes great pancakes also.

I usually multiply the recipe times 1.5 and then I have enough for another day. I freeze the extra waffles and it makes for a quick easy breakfast when I am in a hurry.

Crepes/ German Pancakes

A family recipe... We make these on special occasions or lazy not much to do days.

8 eggs
4 cups milk
2 cups flour
1 teaspoon salt
~1/2 cup melted butter

If you mix all the ingredients except for the butter and then mix in the butter last, it will keep it from becoming lumpy.
These are very thin and cook quickly on high heat. Best if use an iron pan.
Roll up with fruit, yogurt or anything else you like in the middle. Top with syrup. Mmmm...

Warning! Not good if you are trying to diet.
