Why don’t we all just admit that calling it “french toast casserole” is just a conscience-soothing way of getting around eating bread pudding for breakfast?
When can I get you and Boo to relocate to the Baltimore area? Because I need you ladies here to cook and shoot with.
you’re too cute wendi! one of my best friends is actually moving to baltimore in a few weeks.
I am all for it and I am a sucker for french toast. Forget the flowers, honey I want french toast!
That looks amazing.
i’m with you dionne. flowers just die. food is where it’s at.
Well by all means, give her my contact info. I’m always up for meeting new folks. And if she’s a friend of yours, then I’m sure she’s good people : )
And would that mean that YOU may be visiting Charm City in the future?
she’s great people! sweet as can be and will be bored. her husband is doing his (medical) fellowship and I don’t know if she’ll be working.
and i sure hope i’ll get to check out that charm(ed) city of yours. it’s been far too long!
Oh my lord. Paula’s a genius! And so are you!
oh jun- i ♥ you!
Oh, wow…I think I am in love. I love French toast in all forms!!
i want it now! jeeze that looks yummy. I am going to go eat something bland and gross and pretend its french toast casserole.
Oh. My. God. Holy breakfast goodness, Batman! This looks amazing and will be in my belly about 24 hours from now.
Thanks for stopping by my blog! Let me know how you like the makeup!

So glad you liked it Katy! Trust me, it tastes better than it looks. And thank YOU for stopping by my blog!
Oooo…I love that recipe! I’ve made it a few times when when people have been visiting, and once for a Christmas brunch. My favorite part about it is that you can make it the night before, so it’s perfect for impressing overnight guests without having to run around the kitchen in the morning when you’re all groggy.
right? it’s not very hard at all….and most people have the majority of these ingredients already in the pantry. hope that the next time i make it, i’ll make it for guests. pretty wrong to just make it for my husband and me.
Looks so awesome, I can almost taste it. Brunch is ON tomorrow!
oh my goodness!!! that’s all i can say. oh my goodness!!! …there, i said it twice!
