Westside Tile and Stone, Inc.

“I randomly wandered into this 9300 square foot award winning showroom last summer to find an entire team of experienced in-house designers that were willing to help me find what I needed. They represent 250+ different suppliers of exquisite tile and stone materials. They have earned a reputation for its vast selection, superb customer service, and technical knowledge. They can turn even the smallest bathrooms/kitchens into marvelous creations. The store has all setting materials and tools needed for all types of installations; commercial or residential, as well as an extensive list of licensed contractors that have been working with them for 15+ years. I HIGHLY recommend!” ~Jen Levinson

Your Jr. Chef can make French toast

It’s as simple as soaking dry bread for 30 seconds in milk/egg (a custard really), frying in a pan, and enjoying. Notes: alt/flavored milks okay, alt extracts okay; add orange zest, cinnamon or pinch of fresh-ground nutmeg to custard; top with toasted nuts/drizzled with maple syrup. (Spoiler alert – recipe included.) How about this? – for dinner, make Savory French Toast by adding your choice of chopped fresh rosemary/thyme/chives/oregano and grated Parmesan to the custard, and subbing the vanilla extract with grated onion. Creative variety is good! Parental supervision.
