Yesterday's batch of hot cross buns made way more than we needed to eat on Easter Sunday, so I turned some of the leftovers into a French toast casserole that we baked up this morning. Since today is our wedding anniversary, it was nice to have an easy, yet kind of fancy breakfast to wake up to. I haven't really had the time to make an elaborate...

It may be too late... your soda bread from St. Patty's Day may already be gone, but if you happened to throw some in the fridge or freezer, you should make this French toast. I almost forgot that I planned on making it, but fortunately I managed to remember before the soda bread was too past its prime. The flavor is classic, but the soda...

This French toast was supposed to be a reward to myself for running 8 miles in preparation for my half marathon. Instead it ended up being a reward for spending pretty much the entire day working on statistics homework. Welcome to graduate school life. I swear I was doing everything correctly, yet for some reason my answer to one question (that...

The food in this post is from a long time ago. Like really a long time ago. Like more than a year ago— circa July 2012. I found it at the bottom of the WordPress drafts folder thinking I would delete it since it had been so long and there would be no way we'd be able to find the pictures. But to my surprise I had already put pictures into the...

For Easter brunch we got up Sunday morning and made a delicious savory french toast. Erin's always been a big biscuits and gravy fan, so we made a chicken sausage and maple sage gravy (a la Skillet) to top some griddled brioche bread from Macrina— the perfect blend of sweet and savory flavors. To make the gravy, we made a roux by melting...

I don't think I can ever eat French Toast made with regular bread again. Or banana bread not drizzled in warm maple syrup. Basically take your favorite banana bread, or whichever kind of banana bread you happen to have lying around the house (cookie butter banana bread, I'm looking at you) if you are like me and never bake the exact same...

Thanksgiving morning started out on a sweet note with pumpkin French Toast casserole and a Texans victory (even if just by the skins of their teeth). What a nerve-wracking week to be a Texans fan! For the Texans first ever Thanksgiving day game (morning game for us West Coasters), we decided to prepare this French Toast dish the night before...

At first it was a little weird, but now we really enjoy football and brunch on Sunday mornings. With the Texans as the national game of the week on Sunday morning, we finally got a chance to make our own football brunch— so much better than the bar food we usually eat. This seemed like the perfect morning to make creme brûlée french toast...

As promised, here is the other recipe that used up the rest of the oatmeal stout from those delicious oatmeal stout raisin cookies, and it is a good one. So there is this food blog called The Beeroness that I have recently discovered, and it is absolutely amazing. Everything is made with beer, particularly craft beers, and I seriously want to...

Baklava is the perfect ending to a Greek dinner, and it's one of those things that I think I might leave to expert Greek pastry chefs. But putting those flavors into a breakfast dish is something I'd be more than willing to try. Once I saw this recipe for Baklava French Toast, I could not get this recipe out of my head. I absolutely had to...
