Christmas is almost here! In just a few short days, we will be enjoying family, friends, gifts and of course great food! Whether it’s a grand brunch or just breakfast in front of the tree…we have some yummy ideas for you!
We are going to begin with the ooey-gooey, delicious Caramel Pecan French Toast! This recipe is perfect for Christmas morning or any special occasion, it goes together in a snap the night before, making it super easy to pop in the oven, bake and serve.
