What's fun about cooking with international comrades is to learn how other cultures enjoy what is basically the same recipe world-wide. I had never considered French Toast to be a dessert, Andrea. My mother made it often, very plain and served with maple syrup. I was a kid and would smother mine with Welch's grape jelly (no accounting for taste!!!). I also made it, the same plain way, for my girls. A dessert? No clue. Ask your girls if they'd ever think about this being served for breakfast? The question would probably produce giggles. A gorgeous looking post, as usual. Thank you for the Thanksgiving greetings. It was wonderful to be with my family. By the way, please tell your young ladies that my refridgerator is totally bare of Christmas artwork.

I've been drooling since I saw the photos on FB but with Thanksgiving cooking and craziness and all the kids at home, it was a bit hectic. I have time today since they are all back in school. I too find French toast very sweet for breakfast and can't understand how my husband can still drown it in syrup! I eat it straight up without any more sweetening. Yours look so delicious!
