A French Toast Day!

Two years ago we went out west on a trip. We called the Trip "Go West my Friend". We had a great time seeing the Grand Canyon region, Painted Desert, Colorado, California, Las Vegas and then to Minnesota. You can click on the "Go west my Friend" Link at the bottom of this post to see some photos and learn about that trip.
While staying at a Bed and Breakfast of a friend, she made this Recipe. Thought I would share it today. The weather is icy and cold here. A perfect day for French Toast.
