Raspberry Peach French Toast
Ingredients
- 6 slices sourdough French bread torn (I used some orange cranberry bread from the Farmer’s Market – yum!)
- 4 eggs
- 1 cup 1% milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon cardamon
- ¼ cup agave syrup
- 3 teaspoon cornstarch
- 2 cups peaches
- ½ cup raspberries
- ¼ cup butter melted
Instructions
- Place bread into a jelly roll pan. In a medium bowl, mix eggs, half-and-half and vanilla together, pour over bread, cover and refrigerate overnight. Combine agave, cardamon, and cornstarch together, gently mix in peaches and raspberries and place in a greased 13″x9″ baking pan. Place chilled bread mixture on top of blueberry mixture; drizzle butter over bread. Bake at 400 degrees for 30 minutes or until golden brown.

I'm trying to incorporate more whole wheat into the diet. Last night we just had a big salad for dinner. With creamy blue cheese dressing-oops! 😉 Is CREAMY blue cheese not a health food???
I almost bought some Agave just yesterday at Trader Joe's, but resisted. So I say, PICK ME, PICK ME!!!

Hi Barbara! I would have to say the biggest change I have made in the last year is baking and cooking whole foods. I'm trying to use more whole wheat items and rarely use anything prepackaged anymore 🙂

I'm out of the running but what a great idea! I came across a recipe for an incredible cocktail that uses agave syrup so I'm going to look it up here 🙂

I have been on the weight watcher band wagon this summer (well, I guess I "should" be on it since I'm paying for it :-)). And in the midst of lots and lots of good food with all the summer gatherings, I've been trying to eat a lot of fruits and veggies and opt for the whole grains.

I've made a few changes; we now eat more whole grains, like brown rice and whole grain pastas. I also have upped the veggetables and fruits-we've always eaten them , but even more so now. And I don't bake as much, because I have an enormous sweet tooth!

I've been loving agave nectar lately. (When I talk myself into affording it.) I try to also use lower fat ingredients when I can and whole wheat flour instead of all purpose. Well, and I also try to not eat too much of thing goodies I make!

I would LOVE to try Xagave…I have tried baking with other sweetners, but with mixed results. Congrats on your first giveaway…it's a good one!
Juliana
I'd love to try the Xagave…congrats on your first giveaway…must feel good about it! Your fruity French toast looks delicious, what a great treat! Yummie!

Hooray for your first giveaway:) I'm going to keep my fingers crossed I win! I have tried to lighten up my baking by trying to use lower fat dairy products instead of always using heavy cream. Although there are times when there is simply no substitution for heavy cream. I also try to space out my dessert cooking so I'm not overwhelmed with all the baked goods sitting in the kitchen…waiting to be eaten;)

I love this recipe too!
I have tried using whole wheat flour more often in my recipes.
Great 1st giveaway! ;0)

I've used applesauce in place of sugar in muffin. Works like a charm. 😉

I am actually on day 8 of giving up carbs for a month. It is so hard. I never realized how much I love milk.

Oh wow! How perfect is this! We've recently switched to a non red meat diet, eating mostly fish, and chicken for protein sources. I have a crazy sweet tooth and love everything on the sweetish side however cannot digest splenda all that well. I've wanted to try Agave nectar but can't find a store around that sells it! I just think this would be a great addition on the road to our healthier lifestyle!
Lisa
Great giveaway! I tend to use buttermilk so that I don't use as much oil or butter.
Carrie
Barbara, I just posted about my blog making me fat! Your timing is perfect! We have been watching our calorie intake but I still want us to enjoy our family time like we used to (which means the occasional dessert while we play games and watch movies). When I make dessert I have been sticking to very low calorie desserts like the jello whipped cream and Splenda peanut butter cookies (that I am going to blog about on Thursday). I would love to try your xagave though, I loved all desserts you made with it!

I would love to win this, but alas I have not made any significant healthful changes, only small. I have a BIG sweet tooth so I have already switched to agave, using grape seed oil to cook with over other oils (healthier and we have a family member allergic to corn, peanut and soy oils. I started soy milk in MY coffee instead of cream. As I said small changes, but they will add up, I think.

I am a terrible dieter but my husband has been trying to lose weight so I have been substituting olive olive for butter as much as I can. I have also been trying to up our vegie intake. What a cool giveaway!

I've made my eating more healthy by trying to switch to whole wheat breads and going meatless a few times a week.
