Who knew TJ’s had Cinnamon Swirl bread

August 15, 2009 by DanicasDaily 11 Comments

Today started out to be the perfect Saturday.  I slept in, went to my Weight Watchers meeting, the farmer’s market and came back to make a delicious Happy Birthday Eve Brunch breakfast for The Husband.  My meeting today was fun – it was all about controlling cravings which is something I work on EVERY day.

I actually have to practice a little self control at the Farmer’s Market today since I STILL have a ton of stuff left from last week that we need to use up (veggie wise).  The fruit we managed to polish off so I replenished that.

Tons and Tons of white nectarines (they are so good right now I cannot get enough), a few pluots and a couple small French prunes (like super sweet plums).

Plus two types of sweet and crunchy grapes.  I LOVE how little the green ones are – too cute!

Last night The Husband requested the Double Cinnamon French Toast that we had a little while back.  The only problem was I was no where near the bakery I bought that amazing Cinnamon Swirl bread at and the Farmer’s Market only had serious breads (nothing sweet or fun!)  I stopped by Trader Joe’s in hopes that I could find a good bread to make the french toast with and guess what – they had Cinnamon Swirl Bread.

I have to admit it doesn’t look at cinnamony as the other bread, but, it still had the swirls inside.

I had two slices using the same recipe I did before when I made the Double Cinnamon French Toast topped with about 2 tsp whipped butter and TJ’s Pure Maple Syrup.  (I was a little challenged today and burned my pieces, but, they still tasted good).  I actually had made bacon for The Husband too but it turned out black (GRRR!) BTW – black bacon is no bueno so I don’t recommend trying it.

The TJ’s bread is pretty tasty for a store bought bread, but, I definitely do LOVE the bakery version better.  I also had a sugar spotted sweet white nectarine on the side.

I tried something new for making up coffee today and it was awesome!  I added 1 Tbsp ground cinnamon to the decaf hazelnut coffee grounds and it make Cinnamon Hazelnut Coffee – YUM!  I served mine over ice with a splash of low-fat milk.

Today I would LOVE to clean house (it needs it so bad) but I think we are heading out to the Tomato Festival next and then I have to make The Husband’s birthday cake and prep for his special birthday eve dinner (he requested grilled steak and my pasta salad) – I may also have to make BBQ chicken because I want to try that Gayle’s BBQ sauce LOL!  Oh and I think we might go to the movies (his pick) so I guess I better get to it!

See you all later after the Tomato Festival and Cake baking with the fun cake pictures (hopefully my burning cooking issues are gone now!)

Have a fun Saturday ~ I know we will!

    Yay farmer’s market! I always have to pace myself and try not to buy everything I see, too. It’s so hard when everything is fresh and beautiful. 🙂

    Yum! I love white nectarines and peaches. I can’t believe I forgot to buy pluots at Whole Foods today though. 🙁 Your picture makes me want to reach into the screen and steal a few.

    That french toast looked delish! I saw pluots the other day at Whole Foods for the first time, and I may have to try some next time I’m there. What do they taste like?

      Julia ~ Pluots are awesome – you will LOVE them no doubt. They are sweet like an apricot and crunchy like a plum. Some have a little plum tartness, but, most are just sweet and crunchy. You should definitely try them. Maybe the Whole Foods people would let you sample before you buy?
