4/29/10--Dinner

Okay, so here's the dumb thing. As soon as I finished writing my previous post, I started getting really hungry. Like by declaring that I wouldn't buy (almost) any more food for a month, my stomach decided it was going to starve. A quick reminder to my stomach: one of the main reasons for this is that I have too MUCH food in the house! Got that, stomach?

Okay then. Despite the astounding amounts of meat in my freezer, I think tonight I'm going meatless. I have some bread that I made on Sunday (which I thawed yesterday) that I want to eat before it goes bad. Also, I have some bananas that I need to eat before they get brown and sweet and gross. So, tonight I am making french toast with my homemade french bread, with syrup and sliced bananas. But I did move some chicken from the freezer to the fridge to thaw.

First, though, I am making some Jello. I have a packet of strawberry Sugar-free Jello, and I will put in slices of banana and strawberries, so that I can use both before they go bad. (Produce has a tendancy to go bad before being used around here.) I can use the jello as snacks and desserts.

I made a 1/3 recipe of the french toast mixture, but because my french bread loaf has such a small diameter, I cut five slices. I have about half the loaf left. The french toast, syrup, and banana came out to about 683 cal, 16 g fat (nutritional information estimated from recipes, labels, and www.nutritiondata.com)

Oh my, it was delicious!
