I am all for home cooked, scratch made meal. I love to make things myself, it gives me such a feeling of accomplishment.

Sandwich Bread French Toast Bake

July 19, 2018 Nicole O'ConnellLeave a comment

Many french toast bakes seem to have one thing in common… they start with more of a specialty loaf of bread such as a baguette. I don’t know about you but that’s not typically a staple in my house. I don’t eat a lot of bread, and when I do it’s typically the fit and… Continue reading Sandwich Bread French Toast Bake

Oh Monday. I have a love hate relationship with Mondays. I love all the things we do during the week, but I also miss having a few days to get up as we please, or in my case as my small children wake me up. Still more pleasant than an alarm waking me. Monday if… Continue reading Day 10
