I don't claim to be a great cook or to have any original recipes. I love collecting new and interesting recipes and I especially love all my old favorites that I have used over the years. Many recipes are from family and friends and I love them because every time I use them I am reminded of that person and/or some great memories that are attached. I am using this format to begin to put all my recipes in one place. I have attempted this in many different ways but none have been very successful. I am hoping that this will do the trick. Right now for recipes I reference a few different cookbooks, a small 3x5 card box, and a large plastic tub with loose papers. Not a great system. This is my new leaf. Ideally, every day I can put at least one of my recipes into this blog. This will make it so easy and quick for me to refer to and also to share my favorites with friends and family who ask for recipes.

General Conference Bread (Oven Baked French Toast)

INGREDIENTS:
Fresh loaf of french bread
3 eggs
1 c milk
1/2 c butter or margarine
3/4 c brown sugar
cinnamon
raisins or walnuts, pecans (optional)


DIRECTIONS:

Buy a loaf of french bread from the grocery store) cut into two inch slices.

Coat bottom of 9 x 13 pan with brown sugar and butter (3/4 cup brown sugar and 1/2 cup butter melted and mixed together) then sprinkle with cinnamon. You can also add chopped walnuts, pecans, or raisins to the brown sugar mixture if you want.

Dip french bread slices in egg and milk mixture (3 eggs to 1 cup milk) coat well.

Place egg coated bread into 9 x 13 pan on top of brown sugar and butter and cinnamon (do not flip over, just place one side down and leave it that way).
Let sit in fridge overnight.

The next morning, bake at 350 for 20 minutes and then flip over the bread and bake for another 20 minutes.

You can serve with icing or powdered sugar or syrup but we usually just eat it plain since it's so good it doesn't need anything on it. You can also add walnuts or raisins to the brown sugar mixture if you want.

-Bisquick Box

I started making these when my kids were really small to bribe them to eat their soup. Now they are willing to try and usually like all the soups that I make. The biscuits are now always expected! Usually the kids make them.
