My latest obsession is all things French toast. Buy your favorite loaf cake (think banana nut, carrot cake..) dip in French toast mixture (eggs, milk, cinnamon, vanilla) and put on a griddle. You may have to finish it off in the oven depending on how thick you cut the slices, I like them thick. For cream cheese syrup mix- pure maple syrup and warmed cream cheese.

Yum and YUM! I always have all kinds of nuts and coconut in my freezer. For this French toast, I combined toasted slivered almonds and coconut in my blender for 30 seconds or so. You don’t want a paste but you want it fine enough that it coats the bread. Prepare French toast as normal. Cut bread into strips and dip in egg mixture and then coconut almond mixture. Spray griddle well. You may have to sauté 3-4 sides of sticks or you can have your oven preheated to 400 and stick them in for 5 minutes at the end. I like sticking them in the oven so the family can all eat at one time. This worked well with uncut bread as well but my kids loved the sticks.

(Great Harvest Cinnamon Chip bread is the best.) Spray casserole dish liberally with cooking spray and add bread. In a mixing bowl stir eggs and milk (depending on how rich you want your casserole use 2%-half and half). Add cinnamon, vanilla, brown sugar and a dash of salt. Combine liquid and pour over bread making sure all bread is covered with liquid. Push down to soak all pieces. Cover and keep in refrigerator overnight. The next day bake at 350 for 1 hour or until cooked through. (Once in awhile the middle won’t cook fully and I stick it in the microwave for 5 minutes and it finishes it off. It also helps to bring it out an hour before you’re…
