Creme Brulee French Toast

This is the best french toast ever! I had it for the first time a few months ago while staying at a friends house in St. George and HAD to have the recipe! (Thanks Brooke!) It's very rich and sweet, so great for the holidays! I don't put anything on it, but it would be delish with some fresh strawberries or topping of your choice!

1/2 C butter
1 C packed brown sugar
2 T corn syrup
8-12 pieces Texas toast bread
5 eggs
1 1/2 C half & half (you can also use heavy cream)
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla

Melt the butter, brown sugar, and corn syrup over medium heat until smooth, stirring occasionally. Pour into large, greased jelly roll pan ( I just used a large cookie sheet ) and spread over surface. Place 8 to 12 slices of bread in a single layer in pan. Mix eggs, cream, salt and vanilla. Spoon mixture over each piece of bread. Cover and refrigerate overnight. Bake uncovered at 350 for 30 - 40 minutes (until golden brown)

* I don't do the whole refrigerate overnight thing . . . and it turns out just great!

yummy cran-apple salad


ok, this is super easy, and as you know, delicious!

1 head of Romaine lettuce
I like to add Hearts of Romaine from the bag if I'm making a bigger salad
1-2 sweet apples
Crasins
Brianna's Poppy Seed dressing

That's it, just mix it up and it's so good!

pumpkin chocolate chip cookies


these are the most delicious cookies ever! and to make it ever better, it's the easiest recipe too! My friend at work got the recipe at a Weight Watchers meeting, and each cookie is only 1 w.w. point, so that's a little ego boost while you're eating 20 of them in a row! ENJOY!

1 box of Spice cake mix
1 small can of pumpkin
chocolate chips (i use a little less than half a bag)

bake at 375 for about 10 minutes, mmm!
