French Toast Recipe


First, to those who have emailed asking for copies of the Conference packets I will email those out tomorrow.

And second,  your not going to like me unless you live in UT or in the vicinity of Yuma, AZ.  The Overnight French Toast Recipe comes from Kneaders Bakery and Cafe which has locations in the above mentioned places.  You use their Chunky Cinnamon Bread to make it.  And it is “what makes it”.  You could try it with a similar type bread from another bakery, but I don’t know how it would turn out.  The bread from Kneaders is a dense bread (fluffy wonder bread isn’t going to cut it) with cinnamon swirled throughout and then a white icing/glaze on top and also throughout the bread.  

Here is the recipe:
1 Loaf Kneaders Chunky Cinnamon Bread cut into 8 slices
6-7 eggs
2 1/2 cups milk
 1 Tbsp brown sugar
3/4 tsp salt
1 Tbsp vanilla
2 Tbsp butter
Butter a glass 9×13 pan.  Place slices flat in pan.  Mix all remaining ingredients, reserving the butter and pour over the bread.  Cut butter into pieces and dot over the tops.  Refrigerate overnight.  Bake 45-50 min at 350.  
Emily’s notes:  First off, I can’t fit it all in a 9×13, I end up using a 9×13 plus an 8×8.  Also, I like it best when I refrigerate it overnight and then turn the pieces of bread over and let them sit an hour before you bake it in the morning so both sides really soak up the egg mixture.  It is great with maple syrup or with strawberries and whip cream!

What I like about these products:
1. Do not hurt my stomach. My tummy can be sensitive at times. I already take a multivitamin & probiotics, so adding more can be a little much at times. These had no negative effects.
2. I have only been using these for 1 week so I can’t truly attest to the full benefits yet.
3. I like that they have different levels available of the Resveratrol according to your age.
4. The Resveratrol slows the aging process? Bring it on! Can I get an Amen to that? ~wink~
5. Antioxidants, gotta love that!
6. Made w/ certified organic red wine grapes.
7. Does not contain corn, soy, wheat, or lactose. Allergen free of yeast. Gluten free.
8. 100% vegetarian. No artificial colors or flavors.

What I didn’t like:
1. Couldn’t find a thing! :)

Friday’s Feature


The winner of the Belli Skin Care giveaway (selected using random.org)is #58 Anash. Congrats!

My feature today is Mom-preneur, Maria, of Bijou Baby Boutique. Baby Bijou Boutique has the most adorable tutus and matching accessories!


Maria’s inspiration:
“It was created around Christmas of last year, which also happened to be when my daughter was three months old. I was torn between being a SAHM and a working outside the home. The idea literally came to me while I was searching for photo props for my daughters portraits and realizing how expensive they could be. I’ve always been big into crafts, so I figured I could make tutus and hair clips for my daughter instead of buying them. My husband suggested I give a few tutus as Christmas gifts and then it sort of took off from there. My little business gives me the best of both worlds, being a full time SAHM to a beautiful little girl and being able to work from home.”
