I love Vanilla! When I think of using beans, I think of making homemade kahulua, brandied cherries, or like ice cream! But, I'm also a fan of Vanilla lattes, or using vanilla in Spritz. The best vanilla though, is the real deal, and I often add more, because I really love the real vanilla flavor. Sometimes more than chocolate. Did I just say that? Yikes!

I use a generous amount of vanilla when making french toast!!! I love it! You really can't use too much! Also, FYI, vanilla works as a natural remedy for canker sores; just swab vanilla on the canker sore with a Q-tip and it heals by the next day!
