I've made French toast for years according to the recipe in "Joy of Cooking." It called for orange juice; I substituted pineapple juice. I used to dust it with powdered sugar, but I rarely do that any more. The sugar sure looks pretty, but it must not affect the taste much, because no one seems to notice when I leave it off. My Type As are always happy when I serve French toast for breakfast.

Yesterday morning I was in the mood to try something new, so I made the French toast recipe from "Confessions of a Sneaky Organic Cook." I substituted ground flax seed for the wheat germ. My daughter said the other French toast is a little fruity, while this one is a little nutty. Both As liked it a lot, and said to put it on the repeat recipe list.

Here are the ingredients:

½ cup soy milk

3 eggs

1 tsp salt

½ cup ground flax seed

1 Tbsp blackstrap molasses

dash of cinnamon

6 slices of Ezekiel bread

Mix the first 6 ingredients together. Soak each piece of bread in the egg mixture until it is soft. I cooked mine on a non stick griddle. If you use a skillet, you will probably have to use some butter or cooking spray.
