For the first week, I decided to make a banana french toast from the recipe book "Deceptively Delicious" by Jessica Seinfeld. There are a few healthy elements in this recipe, but the one that I don't like by itself is banana. Here are the ingredients I used:
- 3 large eggs
- 4 tablespoons banana
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 4 slices whole-wheat bread
- Nonstick cooking spray
- Confectioners' sugar
- Flaxseed meal

The ingredients that make this healthy are the banana, the flaxseed and the whole-wheat bread. Bananas contain more potassium than most fruits and also have vitamin B6, which helps the brain. Flaxseed is a high-fiber super food. Whole-wheat bread is much healthier than white bread.

I consider the recipe a success based off of the fact that it was edible and didn't taste bad. There have been times in the past where I've made recipes and I can barely stomach them. Another positive is that the recipe was not difficult to make and only took about 10 minutes. The negative, however, is that it didn't taste great. French toast, in my opinion, is just so-so, which is how this one tasted. This one was worse than the average french toast because the taste of the whole-wheat bread was overwhelming. I didn't mind the banana though. I had some of my family members try it and my mom liked it, however my grandfather had one bite and didn't want any more. If I were to make it again I would use whole grain bread instead of 100% whole wheat. All in all, I would rate it 5.5/10. Below are some pictures of the final result!
See you next week!
