Sunday Morning Rain is Falling

A rainy sunday calls for a day of lounging, cooking, napping and reading.
Although, the weather finally cleared early this evening, so we were able to go on a nice hike.

We walked through this:

And, came across this:

The river's water is very high because all of the rain from last night and today.

Before we headed out on our hike this evening, we had brunch. Our menu looked a little something like this.

Herb Omelette
Serves 2
Ingredients:
5 Eggs
Splash of Milk
4 slices of Wisconsin Cheddar
Handful of Mozzarella
6 Basil Leaves
Handful of Parsley
Salt
Pepper
1 Tbs. of Butter

Directions:
First, whisk together the eggs and milk in a medium bowl. Then, bring a skillet to medium heat until hot. Then, place the butter into the pan and let it melt evenly. Next, add the egg mixture into the pan and make sure the egg is evenly distributed throughout the pan. Let cook for about 6-7 minutes (depending on how hot your stove is) or until the egg is close to fully cooked. Then, on one side of the egg, place the cheese, herbs, salt and pepper. Then, carefully fold the empty side of the egg onto the side with all the ingredients. Cook for a few more minutes. Top the omelet off with more cheese if desired and garnish with fresh parsley.


Cinnamon Sugar French Toast
Serves 2
Ingredients:
2 slices of Whole Grain Bread
1 Egg
1/4 cup of milk
2 Tbs. of Vanilla
3 Tbs. Cinnamon
1/4 cup Sugar
1 Tbs. Butter

Directions:
Bring a medium pan to medium-high heat and add the butter. Meanwhile, beat the egg, vanilla and milk together in a medium sized, shallow bowl. Whisk well. Dip the bread into the egg mixture one at a time. Then, place in the hot pan and cook for about 5 minutes on each side or until golden brown. While cooking the bread, in a medium sized shallow bowl, mix together the cinnamon and sugar. Once the bread is done cooking, dip the bread into the cinnamon sugar mixture until the entire piece of bread is coated. Then, plate it. Repeat with the second piece of bread. Once both pieces are cooked and coated, finish off with pure maple syrup and a dash of cinnamon.

An incredible brunch before we ventured out with our two dogs into the wilderness :)
P.S. I forgot to talk about Inception! It was really good but I am so confused and I feel like I need to go see it again. There was so much going on and I wish I had paid more attention to the movie. So, I think to really grasp it I have to go back a second time (which you don't really have to twist my arm to do so!)
