Yesterday morning, Leah announced, “I’m making breakfast.” She pulled the 3 ring binder that is bursting at its seams, overflowing with recipes, and landed on this trusty one from the Pioneer Woman.

Ingredients:

• 2 sticks butter, softened
• 1 cup sugar
• 3 tsps. ground cinnamon
• 2 tsps. vanilla extract

Preparation:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a microwave safe bowl, add the butter and microwave for 30 seconds to soften. Add the sugar, cinnamon, extract and mix well to incorporate all the ingredients. Using a spatula, smear the mix onto bread slices and bake for 8 to 10 minutes.

NOTE: Unless the girls have friends over, I usually half this recipe, using 2 slices of bread per person because, let’s face it, toast is only good freshly made. With the remaining mix, I put it in a Tupperware container and store in the refrigerator for a later use.
