November 28 - National French Toast Day

 

Happy National French Toast Day! Each year on November 28, people across the United States enjoy today. Also known as eggy bread or omelet bread, it makes a great breakfast for guests or part of a brunch.   

Home cooks and professionals alike whip up a few personal favorites when it comes to french toast recipes. The base consists of eggs and milk whisked together.  

Bread is dipped into the mixture and fried until golden. Many people also add some sugar, vanilla, and cinnamon to the base. 

The flavor of French toast can be brightened with a squeeze of a fresh orange or stuffed with sauteed apples and cinnamon.  

Make French toast kid-friendly by cutting it into sticks. Then dip the sticks into syrup. Substitute sugary syrup with a fruit puree and fresh fruit pieces.  

Nuts and seeds add crunch to this delicious breakfast fare, and don’t forget the whipped cream! Just a dollop goes a long way. 

HOW TO OBSERVE 

Make French toast as part of big breakfast. Freeze leftovers for easy breakfasts later in the week. Have breakfast for dinner. Share your favorite French toast recipes.

November 28 - National Small Business Day

 

Happy Small Business Saturday! Today reminds us of the prime shopping opportunities right in our own communities.  

Not only do the small businesses where we work, live, and play offer numerous gift-giving possibilities, they are hands-on and ready to complete your shopping list with quality, thoughtful gifts.  

Every year on the Saturday after Thanksgiving, the Shop Small® movement has energized small business owners to prepare for customers in every way possible. 

Shop Small® is a nationwide movement to celebrate small businesses every day and to help communities thrive and stay vibrant.  

By shopping or dining at small businesses in your community, you're showing support for the businesses in your neighborhood and in the community, you call your own.  

That includes the traditional brick and mortar customer to the online shopper. The single-day event continues to grow each year. That means business owners are ready for you to shop their stores! 

Small businesses feed our communities. They keep our main streets thriving and employ nearly half of the American workforce.  

Supporting small business means you’re supporting your local economy, local business, tax base, schools, and infrastructure. Your holiday shopping will put food on the tables of people you know.  

You be doing your community some good, and you will also be finding quality gifts. Small businesses take pride in their work. They’ve worked hard for their dream, and it shows in their craftsmanship. 

HOW TO OBSERVE 

Keep these tips in mind when shopping this holiday: 

• • Check your holiday shopping list for those who would like handcrafted items and buy locally. 

• • Handcrafted means a lot of things. For example, woodworking to sewing, pottery to quilting, welding to jewelry, baked goods to preserves and so much more! 

• • Small businesses may specialize in one area or they may offer a variety of services. Don’t hesitate to walk in and explore the store. You may be surprised to find what they offer, and discover the one thing you’ve been looking for.  

• • Who has a hard to shop for family member? We all do, right? Ask the shop owner for help. They often have ideas you’ve never considered that will fill your empty stocking.  

Explore your community while supporting small businesses. While finding your amazing gifts, give a shout out to your favorite small business as well!
