    Whole Wheat Honey & Banana Pancakes

    / No Comments

    Brioche French Toast

    / No Comments

    We are bread lovers no doubt and anytime I can incorporate bread into any of my meals, I have one happy family! Coop is recovering still from croup so we didn’t get to church today. I decided a full breakfast was in order. French Toast, sausage and fruit. I love a hearty bread for French Toast and you can’t go wrong with brioche. It is a bit more expensive, but the texture is perfect! There are a ton of variations to French Toast and this is mine. Hope y’all enjoy!

    Crock Pot Chicken & Gravy

    / No Comments

    I rely on my slow cooker and crock pot through the week and this is another super easy meal. Another option is to omit the gravy and broth and substitute for 2 cans of cream of mushroom soup with half cans of water.
