Hubby is out of town on business. Momma wants to actually cook (out of boredom). Baby is fussy & wants to be cuddled. Gman is growly b/c he's in super protector mode (dad's gone...). What's a mom to do? Whip up a quick & easy brinner. I decided on a French toast recipe from a fav, Alton Brown. I cut it in half b/c I didn't need 8 servings...want yes, need no...lol. I also added a touch of cinnamon & finished w/ some powdered sugar. Then of course one must add bacon & oj. Here's the finished deliciousness. Not bad for a busy evening of mommy work. ;-)

Momma's Brinner

Sunday Night Sandwich
This is a fantastic sandwich for a summer lunch with the girls or for a fairly quick light dinner. I love it because it's super easy (considering some of Giada's recipes), and it has great flavors.
They are interesting...chickpea spread has chickpeas (obviously), mint, lemon zest & juice, salt and pepper...tuna part is tuna (obviously), artichoke hearts, kalamata olives, olive oil, salt and pepper...take baguette (i chose a different crusty roll for convenience), cover pieces with spread, add arugula, add tuna mixture...and done. Making couscous to go with it, but I'm cheating...it's the box pre-flavored kind. I totally intended on making plain couscous then adding my own lemon vinegrette type thing with basil and dried cranberries, but let's face it I have a 9 week old son, a very nosy, energetic great dane, and about a million other things to do around the house. I also don't have time to take my own pic, upload it, and post it so here is the link to the recipe, and I stole the pic from there. =)
