REAL FRENCH TOAST BAKE BY RACH'S BLOG
Last weekend I made a French Toast Bake for a bridal shower brunch. I love this recipe because it is so easy (Fia could do this by herself), economical (most expensive ingredient was the Texas Toast at $2), & oh-so-delicious! The best part is that it is made the day before so there is no fuss on the day you consume it....perfect for a Sunday afternoon or brunch.

BLUEBERRY FRENCH TOAST BAKE
The bread became very soft after soaking all night! I don't like to waste ANY food! I do whatever I can to use food to it's best and fullest! We had part of a French bread loaf for the other day that had grown quite hard. I thought I'd try to make a French toast bake, even though it wasn't soft! It was great! Although we did not eat this for dinner today, it would make a lovely "light" dinner!
