Dreaming of #Summer
On this cold, snowy day here in Maryland, we are dreaming of #Summer. Speaking of #Summer, check-out these custom logo’d flip flops we did for one of our client’s teams. We’d love to be wearing them in the warm sun right about now!
Top 5 #NewYear’sResolutions
Each year we vow to make changes in our lives. Here are our Top 5 most popular New Year’s Resolutions. Is yours on the list?
1. Lose Weight – This is a perennial favorite for many resolution makers, and it doesn’t take much to figure out why.
2. Travel More – It’s tempting to want to get out and see more of the world, especially if you feel stuck in your rut or you haven’t been anywhere lately. This is one of the most common resolutions, just be sure to be a bit more specific on where you want to go because vague ideas rarely get done, but attainable goals are something you can work with.
3. Quit Smoking – This is often considered one of the hardest habits to break, and there are plenty of products, books, and systems to help you along.
4. Get More Sleep – Sleep is one of the most important things you can do for your well-being, but many of us stay up into the wee hours, and wake up before we’re fully rested. Try following the circadian rhythm by getting to bed early and waking up early. You’ll notice a big improvement right away.
5. Stop Procrastinating – Perhaps there’s lots of things on this list that you’ve already promised yourself you’d stop or start doing, but you just haven’t gotten around to doing it. At some point you’ve got to make it your priority and make time for it.

#ChristmasBreakfast Orange Pecan French Toast
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/3 cup butter, melted
2 tablespoons light corn syrup
1/3 cup chopped pecans
12 (3/4 inch thick) slices French bread
1 teaspoon grated orange zest
1 cup fresh orange juice
1/2 cup 2% milk
3 tablespoons white sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 egg whites
2 eggs
1 tablespoon confectioners’ sugar for dusting
In a small bowl, stir together the brown sugar, melted butter, and corn syrup. Pour into a greased 9×13 inch baking dish, and spread evenly. Sprinkle pecans over the sugar mixture. Arrange the bread slices in the bottom of the dish so they are in a snug single layer.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the orange zest, orange juice, milk, sugar, cinnamon, vanilla, egg whites, and eggs. Pour this mixture over the bread, pressing on the bread slices to help absorb the liquid. Cover and refrigerate for at least one hour, or overnight.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C ). Remove the cover from the baking dish, and let stand for 20 minutes at room temperature.
Bake for 35 minutes in the preheated oven, until golden brown. Dust with confectioners’ sugar before serving.
