With Sweet Tea!

Welcome to With Sweet Tea! Hey y'all! I am so incredibly glad you dropped by. Most of the dishes you'll find here are authentic Southern recipes that have been lovingly handed down through my family for generations. For a while now, a few sweet folks on Facebook have been begging me to start sharing them online. I always meant to get around to it, but it wasn't until my grandbabies asked me to write down all my recipes that I knew I had to finally sit down and make this blog a reality. Keepin' It Real & Simple. Now, please don’t expect anything fancy around here! I’m just a down-home Southern cook who was taught everything I know by my mother and grandmother. Some of these recipes you have probably heard of before, while others might be completely new to your kitchen. Either way, my biggest hope is that you find something here that you and your family just absolutely love. If you do find a recipe that hits the spot, please leave me a comment or drop me a line! I have always loved hearing from my readers, and your messages truly make my day. A Quick Note on How I Cook (The "Eyeball" Method)I have a little confession to make: I am one of those cooks who never measures anything. I have made these dishes so many times that I can tell exactly how much to use just by looking at it. If a recipe calls for a cup of sugar, I’m not going to pull out a measuring cup—I’m just going to dump in the amount that looks like a cup to me! Because I want you to find success in your own kitchen, I am trying my absolute best to convert my everyday cooking into exact measurements for you. But please don't stress over it! As long as you follow along somewhat closely, you won't mess it up. Let's Get Cooking! Relax! Cooking is supposed to be fun. So come on, stop reading, and let's go have some fun in the kitchen! I love y'all, and Jesus does too.

French Toast or Egg Bread?

 So this is your basic  French Toast. 

Four pieces of loaf bread dipped in milk and egg then lightly fried in a cast iron frying pan.

I beat four eggs with a small dash of milk.

Heat a small amount of oil in your frying pan, about a teaspoon of oil or Crisco.

Dip the bread into the milk and egg mixture, coating well. Then place into the hot frying pan. Brown each side of your bread. Add some butter and syrup. Enjoy!





Egg Bread
I was making French Toast for my mom's breakfast one morning. I offered to make my Grandkids some, but their mom Cari , (Of Cari on living.) was worried about all of the sugar right before school. This is where the idea of "Egg Bread" was born. I cooked a piece of French toast as normal. But added a slice of American Cheese to it. The grands had grilled cheese sandwiches made with "Egg Bread", and loved them!
