Pound Cake French Toast

While making my rounds at Dollar Tree for my Mother's Day craft finds, I came across boxed pound cake.  Now I am typically skeptical of food purchases from a dollar store, but it was the same pound cake I had seen at Stop Shop earlier that day.  A quick expiration date check and we were good to go!

At that point I had no idea what I was going to make with it, but since I was in charge of breakfast for my mom and dessert for my mother-in-law, I grabbed four boxes!

Recently I have been on a french toast kick!  Those french toast rollups last month were super easy and to die for.  So I figured why not try pound cake french toast.

After slicing the pound cake, I whisked up a bath of egg, heavy cream, and vanilla.   A quick dip for the pound cake and some time in a pan with heated butter.  When cooked, another dip in a cinnamon and sugar mixture.

I then quickly heated some raspberries and sugar in a small saucepan for an instant sweet sauce.

Another delicious french toast treat!

French Toast Fun

I recently HAD to try this recipe for french toast roll-ups from pincookie.com... and let me tell you they were simple  and delish!

After slicing the crust off some Wonder white bread (my favorite cheap bread), I filled some for Kirsten with mixed berries . . .

some for Julia with blueberries . . .

and THE BEST of all . . . some with cream cheese and raspberries! 

A quick egg bath and a romp in a buttered skillet . . .

A roll around in a sugar and cinnamon mixture and . . . HEAVEN!

The Rapunzel Tea Party

Last year, as the summer came to an end, we celebrated with a tea party on our front lawn. My block is quite quiet. And the neighbors that know us, know that that the three of us know how to have fun!

So out came our table from the basement along with a picnic blanket for all of our friends. And at 9 am on a beautiful summer day we dressed in our best for breakfast. Looking back at this day, I don't think one should eat breakfast any other way!
