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?!!
