Eggless Sweet Potato Spice French Toast w/ Spiced Maple Cream Syrup

They say to win over a man's heart, is through his stomach.

And the way to a woman's heart is...

I looked this answer up.

Let's just say, no one knows.

And my husband might say, neither do the woman.

But, I have always had a place in my heart for food. And to me, there is nothing sexier than a man in the kitchen.

That's right.

You can bet your bottom dollar that when Curtis Stone comes on TV with that Australian accent that you'll be hearing Praises and Hallelujahs followed by, "Hubby, you just don't understand..."

And we can all guess that if Matthew McConaughey came out with a cookbook,

Well..

It be like my version of a calendar full of shirtless fireman...Wooh! Somebody hose me down!

Ok, so let's rewind to 4 years ago when the Hubby and I were dating.

We had done all the "normal" dates..movies, cuddling, bowling, makin' out, dinner, makin' out...

and we were searching for something different.

So I told boyfriend, future hubs, to make me dinner.He agreed, and I couldn't have been more excited!

I thought of all the possibilities of what it could be.

Salad, Pasta, Bread, you know the typical "guy" meal...what about a pizza? Will there be chocolate? Are we going to watch a movie with Matthew McConaughey afterwards?

Then when I arrived at my sweet little buttercups apartment, a place where you don't use the bathroom, don't look in the toilet, wash your hands after touching everything, and don't ask when's the last time that was washed...

BF/Hubs sat me down at the counter, placed a container of "questionable" syrup next to me and said, "I hope you like french toast!"

And ever since then..that's all it's ever been. :)

Despite it being the only meal that Hubby knows how to make, and that I'm a little worried if I ever leave Baby Boo for a couple days, he makes a mean french toast.

I don't know if it's because it's all he lived off in college, but if you haven't guess already, it's his favorite meal. If he had it his way he would have cereal for breakfast, Taco Bell for Lunch, and French Toast for dinner..Oh and have a heart attack by midnight.

Which is why, as his Wifey I've decided to let the Hubby retire of French Toast making for the time being, and make him a version of his favorite classic, minus the clogged arteries.
