No Stove French Toast

Sometimes I'm really lazy in the morning. Sometimes, I also want a really yummy breakfast that goes beyond "toast and peanut butter". I'm a huge fan of french toast. It's always been a favorite of mine, but I hate cleaning - and with french toast you have to clean the pan and the bowl and the fork you whisked the eggs with and the fork and knife and plate you used and ugh. It's just a mess. I saw this recipe a little while ago, but I forget where so don't ask me to tell you, and thought I'd give it a shot this morning. Happy to say, it was a success!


1 egg
1 tsp sugar
a shake or two of ground cinnamon
1 slice (depending on the size, maybe 1.5 if you're going with the classic wonderbread size) of a fluffy, thin crust bread.  (Basically, nothing dense like rye or pumpernickle, and try to avoid seeds - they're annoying)
optional - maple syrup and/or other toppings


- Combine the egg, sugar, and ground cinnamon with a fork in a medium-large mug
- Cut the bread into cubes. About 3/4" squares should work.
- Add the bread to the mug and slowly move it around, trying not to cut it up or squish it too much. Make sure every piece is covered.
- Microwave for 1m10s
- Top and eat!!

Strawberry Overnight Oats

1/3 cup milk
1/3 cup vanilla yogurt or greek yogurt
1/2 tbsp honey
1/3 cup steel cut or rolled oats
4-5 strawberries
6-7 almonds

-Combine milk, honey and yogurt
-Slice (and chop if you want smaller pieces) the strawberries
-Carefully cut the almonds so you end up with chunks and not shredded pieces of almond (yuck)
-Add oats to the milk mixture, stirring and eventually making sure there aren't any clumps of dry oats
-Add the strawberries, mix them in a little
-Press the oats down and make try your best to make sure they're covered by liquid.
-Sprinkle almond chunks on top, press them down lightly, don't mix them in
-Leave overnight in the fridge, preferably covered to avoid "fridge taste"


Microwave in the morning if you want to take the chill off :) Enjoy
