A dear friend, Lorna came over for a Sunday Girl's Day In... I made her this sweet, delicious variation of a classically favorite breakfast; French toast..... French toast always conjures up memories of Sunday mornings with family and laughter around the breakfast table..... When Lorna tasted this variation, the first word out of her mouth was "mmmm-cozy!"...and indeed, this delicious breakfast is best described as cozy :)
