I’ve been craving a decadent breakfast, and this looks like it would absolutely fit the bill!
Creme Brûlée French Toast (The Culinary Compass)
Aaaaand more breakfast! Just gorgeous French toast.

Strawberry Cheesecake Brownie Brittle Ice Cream (Hip Foodie Mom)
I had fabulous strawberry cheesecake ice cream in Annapolis many years ago, and the addition of chocolate in this version sounds like it would put it over the top!
Have a delicious weekend!
I know I am always asking for recipes but I would love to know how you prepare your pot roast and scalloped potatoes. We love trying your recipes and have yet to be disappointed. I’m definitely making your pizza this week….the boys will devour that. Thanks for all the work you put into this blog.
Hi Marla! I made a pot roast recipe that my mom made awhile ago, but unfortunately mine was not nearly as good as hers! I made mine in the crock pot, while she made hers in an electric roaster (I don’t own one). So I’m working on tweaking it :) The scalloped potatoes – they’re one of my father-in-law’s signature dishes, he made them! I’ll have to get his recipe so I can share them on here!
Thanks for your quick response. I am so impressed with your father in law and all of his amazing recipes. I would love to have another. I’d also love your pot roast recipe when you feel it’s just right. I have yet to get mine quite right.
Thanks for sharing my Baked French Toast! I’m anxious to try your Deep Dish Biscuit Pizza. It looks amazing! I’m sure my family will love it. Have a great week!
Hey Michelle,
I have a question about printing recipes. Why is the printing so faint you can’t read it? Given that you have a PRINT option, I’m not sure why the print quality is so bad?
Thanks! (and love your blog)
Anne
Hi Anne, Hmmm I just printed out a recipe and mine is not faint at all – perfectly readable. I haven’t had any other complaints… could your ink cartridge be low?
Thanks for featuring my Creme Brulee French Toast! What a happy way to start the weekend :D
Those brownies look amazing!!!
