This Hot Chocolate French Toast recipe was sponsored by Nestlé. The opinions are completely my own based on my experience. Is french toast really french? Turns out it's not. It's actually an old dish that's older than the founding of France itself and the recipe has been around as early as the age of the Roman Empire! In the 15th century the dish was called "pain perdu" or "lost bread" because people would use hard or stale bread as a way of using it up instead of … [Read more...]
Hot Chocolate French Toast
Chocolate Banana Pancakes made with Nesquik!

Ham and Cheese Breakfast Burritos
They say breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and I mess this up on a fairly regular basis (re: every day). I'm just not a morning person and usually don't feel like eating, plus on school days I spend so much time getting the kids fed and lunches packed, I don't want to head back into the kitchen once they are out the door.
