I learned how to cook from my wonderful foodie family, especially my Mama! One of my favorite things to do is to call her and brainstorm recipe ideas together! She’s an amazing home cook and throughout the years she’s made some truly mouthwatering meals.
One of my favorite “Mama meals” (and there are so many) is her French Toast Casserole. 
Come on folks, who doesn’t love buttery French Toast with a crunchy praline topping?!!
Baked French Toast Casserole
Ingredients:
1 loaf of French bread
8 eggs, beaten
2 cups half & half
2 tbsp sugar
1 cup milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmeg
pinch of salt
Praline topping:
1 cup butter, softened
1 cup chopped pecans
2 tbsp light corn syrup
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg
Slice the French bread into 20 slices.
Place the slices in a buttered 9X13 baking dish in 2 rows, overlapping slices.
In a large bowl, combine the eggs, half & half, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
Mix until blended but not too bubbily.
Pour over the bread slices, making sure all are covered evenly with the milk/egg mixture.
Spoon mixture between the slices too.
Cover with foil and refrigerate overnight.
The next day, preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Remove the dish from the refrigerator and remove foil.
Time to make the praline topping!
Mix all ingredients for praline topping in a bowl.
Spread evenly over bread. Bake for 40 minutes, until puffed and golden.
Serve alone or with maple syrup or honey! Enjoy~

Happy Cooking!

🍳 How fun is this April Fool's Day breakfast egg prank?! My kids love all the silly tricks we do on April 1st so this year I thought of a new one to really fool them. I served "sunny side up eggs" for breakfast, two different ways! Check out the details on the blog. 😂😂😂

Time to be transparent. I have been struggling for a while now. I feel like I lost myself years ago. Self worth is so important and I am just now starting to love and focus on me again. I am not striving to be perfect but I am so excited to be a healthier, happier me this year.

Sundays are for brunchin' 🍳 🥓 
My girls and I had a delicious meal at the one of a kind @wellmetcafe . Standouts were the Tokyo Fog drink with yuzu and boba which tasted like Fruit Loops and the amazing Onyx bacon and soft scrambled eggs with creme fraiche. 
Next time I can't wait to try the avocado toast and the Taking Back Sunday chicken sandwich. 🥑

One of my favorite quiet spots in all of Missouri - beautiful Roubidoux Springs in Waynesville, MO. We spent so many afternoons here fishing, splashing, hunting for treasures, skipping rocks, having picnics, and cuddling our dogs. I loved being able to visit again yesterday and enjoy the serene environment and warm sunshine. A must see! ☀️
