I just had to share this simple, yummy recipe with everyone- The boys and I enjoyed this wonderful breakfast casserole this morning (complete with candles and singing, as is our tradition!). I'm always looking for good breakfast recipes for when we have guests and this one will be going to the top of my list- so simple to make, yummy and you can make it the night before and refrigerate it! So, without further ado- here it is:
FRENCH TOAST CASSEROLE
12 slices Texas toast, cubed
6 - 8 eggs, beaten
1 c. milk
4 apples, cored, peeled, and chopped
1/2 stick butter
1/3 c. maple syrup
2 tsp. cinnamon
1/3 c. chopped pecans
Garnish: powdered sugar; additional maple syrup
Cube bread and place in lightly greased 13 x 9 baking pan; set aside. Place eggs in a medium bowl, add milk, whisk until combined. Pour over bread cubes and set aside. In skillet, over medium heat, melt butter, add apples, pecans, syrup and cinnamon and cook until apples are slightly tender. Pour apple mixture over bread cubes. Press down lightly to make sure bread is well soaked. Bake at 375 for 30 to 35 minutes, or until set in center. Sprinkle with powdered sugar; serve with maple syrup. Makes 6 - 8 servings.
This can be mixed up the night before and refrigerated. Just bake 10 minutes longer than directed above.
I found this, along with lots of other great recipes on Starr's blog. All of her recipes that I have tried have been super tasty (if only they were healthy, too!).

Just wanted to say hi. JB should remember me from New London...I was Melissa Galo when he was a young boy. I found your blog through Jerry and Kim's. Kim and I were roommates in college and Jerry and I were good friends from the moment we arrived in Minnesota. So anyway, I knew you all were over in Russia from talking to Martha whenever I am home in New London. I enjoyed reading your blog and looking at the pictures. JB still looks the same under his facial hair :-) Keep up the good work you are doing there and I will be praying for you and your family.
