French Toast
Whether you call it French toast or eggy bread, in our house it has become a Sunday morning breakfast feast. Something my husband loves to do with our boys on a Sunday morning, while I go out running. However this weekend I decided that I would treat everyone to a round of eggy bread - my way.
