French Toast Sunday

I love lazy Sunday mornings icon smile French Toast Sunday

I am usually up before the sun on Saturdays so I can beat the heat and get a good run in, but on Sundays Ben and I wake up slowly, take a walk and eat a good breakfast together. It’s really the only morning we eat breakfast together now that I think of it!

Today we went for a walk around our new neighborhood. It felt good to get my legs moving a little after yesterdays long run. I use Sunday as a rest day, but a walk is a good way to avoid getting too tight.

Then, I made French Toast for breakfast. I didn’t have any regular bread so I used the Oroweat Sandwich thins Foodbuzz sent me as part of their Tastemaker program.

I’ve done this in the past and only used one sandwich thin. Well, that’s just crazy. So, today I used two. It was perfect.IMG 0818 thumb French Toast Sunday

Dipped in a mix of eggs, almond milk, dash of salt and chia seeds. I didn’t realize until making this that I don’t have cinnamon or vanilla yet icon sad French Toast Sunday IMG 0819 thumb French Toast SundayThere are sooo many pantry staples I don’t have in our new place yet. I need to make a list and stock our kitchen properly. 

I topped my french toast with banana, syrup and almond butter. This might just be the perfect breakfast and I love that it’s healthy and satisfying in addition to being dee-lish!IMG 0823 thumb French Toast Sunday

My favorite day of the week is Friday, because I don’t have class on Friday this semester! Three day weekend!

Walking with a loved one is such a great and simple pleasure.

I love Fridays because Say Yes to the Dress is on all night, and I am always hopeful that I can spend my night hanging out with my family watching cheesy TLC shows. It’s the best!

I work every Sunday morning, so mine has to be Saturdays. I love my work, but Saturdays are the only lazy mornings I get with my husband.

We do the exact same thing on Sunday mornings. Our Sunday Breakfasts together are so important. It’s the only day of the week that seems slower and more relaxed than any other, and we truly need that time in the morning together to enjoy.

Mmm, french toast! I would have to say that my favorite day of the week is Saturday. No long run to do, work doesn’t start again for at least another day, and I feel like I can catch up on whatever I haven’t done (and wanted to do) during the week.

I have always said that Saturday is my favorite, because I know I still have one more day off. But like you Sunday is creeping up on the lead. We get up and lounge around and I make breakfast…. best part of my weekend, hands down :)

Sundays are definitely my favorite day of the week, for a few reasons. 1) I don’t feel guilty for being a bum 2) I love feeling like I have a fresh start and 3) church with the fam…followed by brunch, of course ;)

Sunday is definitely my favorite day. The long run from Saturday is done, which means sleeping in, eating a ton, chillaxing. Perfection! …as long as you don’t think of Monday looming ahead. ;)

I love Friday evenings and Saturdays, especially during the summer time.

Sunday is my favorite day too. It’s the day that Mike and I can just laze about or go for runs or hikes together without worrying about work. We also catch up on our tv shows that have been recorded on dvr. It’s the perfect day to just relax and enjoy each others company.

I love Friday evening & Saturday. Everything feels great. Being able to relax, do whatever I feel like.

I’m craving french toast now, darn it!

I’m happy someone out there is enjoying Sundays, they are my least favorite dat but with football coming back, will move it up in the ranks a bit.

Thursday has always been my favorite days–I think since I was born on a Thursday and they remind me of Thirsty Thursday back in college!
