cinnamon french toast

my sister and her husband were here on memorial day 
we woke up, cooked breakfast, and sat on our new back porch
it was probably my favorite french toast all of time.
so i decided to share the recipe with you all today! 
have you ever used challah bread to make french toast? 
i may never go back to using anything else!
the challah- along with some cinnamon- made for a delicious batch!
we also enjoyed some fruit, bacon, and coffee
here is the recipe: cinnamon french toast
hope you enjoy!
also, today is our last day of school
cheers to eight years of teaching middle school and happy summer 2015
how cute are these succulents from a local farmer’s market? 
my co-worker made different ones- one for each of us- using beautiful containers 
as an end of the year gift- so sweet. 
such a great idea! 
…any fun summer plans…

    I've never had challah bread at all, but I've heard it's the best for french toast! I've loved french toast since I was a kid…I need to make this! I also love that bowl with the bike on it. 🙂
