Meal Plan~ Labor Day

Okay, let's try this again. Today (Saturday), we followed the meal plan. *round of applause please.  We ate tomato soup and grilled cheese for lunch (the boys also ate baby Lima beans). For dinner I make a pork loin in the oven with carrots, onions, and potatoes. It was so good I will insert a picture:

The most AMAZING French Toast EVER!!!

This recipe is a twist on the traditional french toast-it's Baked! This is a great recipe for special occasions, company, or just a delicious Saturday morning treat.

Baked French Toast

Ingredients:
1 - stick of butter
1 - tsp of corn syrup
1 - cup of brown sugar
Loaf of french bread- sliced about 3/4 in think (the amount of bread is up to you)
5 - eggs
1 - tsp cinnamon
1 1/2 - cups of milk
1/2 - tsp of vanilla extract

Combine butter, corn syrup, and brown sugar in a small sauce pan and bring to a boil for about 1 minute. Then using a 9X13 baking dish spread the mixture at the bottom of the pan. Next, add the french bread in a single layer. Then, combine eggs, cinnamon, milk, and vanilla in a bowl and beat together. Pour over the bread and cover the pan in foil. You can then either refrigerate overnight or let sit in the fridge until the eggs mixture is soaked into the bread.
Place the uncovered pan in the oven, pre-heated to 350*F and bake for 40 minutes. ENJOY!
