Natural egg coloring is much more fun and healthy as you get to eat veggies and color your easter eggs at the same time.

Beets, carrots,blueberries and curcuma can give red, orange, purple and yellow color to your eggs.

Dip your eggs in those veggies boiling water to get the color you want.

Enjoy!

Sweet potato benefits

Sweet potato is a power food it contains all the vitamin A that you need for the whole day.

Its orange color comes from betacarotene which is a precursor of vitamin A.

The antioxidants in sweet potatoes helps ward off cancer cells and protects against aging.

Their natural sugar are slowly released to the bloodstream which makes it a low glycemic index food.

They are a good source of potassium which regulates heart beat and nerve signal and also contain magnesium a powerful muscle relaxant.

Roasted, pureed or grilled they are a healthier substitute to sweet potatoes.

French toast reminds me of the Pain perdu French recipe which originated from old baguettes that were hard enough for consumption and were dipped in milk and fried for softening and it ended up one of the best deserts on French menus.

That particular French toast has bananas, mascarpone, nuts and caramel sauce , i would rate it as super heavy and more like a desert . I am not a fan of heavy meals in the morning as the stomach is still not ready for such a shock.

I would recommend it for share by 2 to 3 people to avoid feeling stuffed.
