Thank you so much Erin. I am fortunate to only need some tylenol. Dr said no surgery! I am learning how to be patient. Enjoy your week.
Hi Marilyn,
Thanks for bringing your recipe to Blogger’s Pit Stop last week.
Janice, Pit Stop Crew
You are welcome Janice. Thanks for coming by. Enjoy your week.
Okay, are you sitting around babying your leg and having too much idle time on your hands? You are creating some incredible looking desserts and tempting me! Not that it takes too much to tempt me, but this looks fabulous! You know I love breakfast any time of the day, and this is a total winner! Yum!
Thanks Nikki. I am totally sidelined and eating pb&j and Kix when someone is around to feed me. I am torturing myself going into my archives for posts and drooling over what I cannot have. My sugar loves me though. My muscles are getting toned and I think I have lost some weight too so I have to keep smiling. Could be worse. At least I am home and have a computer and tylenol! Oh and Dr said no surgery!! Glad you are seeing some light too. Enjoy your week.
Yep. This will work for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. I’m in. It looks so delish! Thanks so much for sharing your recipe with us at Funtastic Friday.
You are welcome Sherry. I am glad you liked it.
I haven’t made french toast in a while, now I want to make it for tomorrow’s breakfast, or maybe this afternoon for snack! Yum!
I hope you do Katrin. There are just certain foods that make you feel warm nd fuzzy and french toast is one of those for me.

Thank you Carla! Do you still eat it in some form?
Oh wow these look so nice! French toast isn’t something I tend to see on menus in the UK. I think I ate some every morning whilst in America though.
Thanks for sharing it with the #FridayFrivoloty gang!
So easy to make. Isn’t it funny how different cultures seem to specialize in different foods? I love that!
This sounds so perfect for breakfast or desert! Yum! 🙂
Thank you so much! Enjoy your week.
There’s something about french toasts that makes breakfast special!
It is one of my comfort foods. My mom always made it when I didn’t feel 100%.
Yummy! We just had cinnamon swirl french toast with strawberries this morning. I should have offered blueberries too.
Yum, that sounds great. One of my favorites!
SUCH a cute idea! 🙂 It sounds so tasty too! 🙂
