Vegetarian food is happy food. Don't you think gloomy November is a great time to bring on the happy with veggie Sloppy Joes? T ry this recipe for lunch. Invite non-vegetarians even.

#14 The Case of French Vanilla Toast

H ere's a perfect example of Becki Green getting-out-of-bed motivation. And it's not just an indulgence. It has protein. The secret here is the 1/4 tsp vanilla. 2 eggs (or your egg style liquid equivalent—my Simply Eggless equivalent is 1/2 cup) 1/4 teaspoon vanilla salt 2 slices whole-wheat bread 1 teaspoon olive oil icing sugar maple syrup In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, vanilla and salt to taste. Dip both sides of the bread in the egg mixture and let soak just a little then fry in the olive oil until golden brown on both sides. Dust with icing sugar and serve with maple syrup. Serves 1. ♥ Becki
