Cinnamon Sugar Cookie French Toast Recipe

Merry CHRISTMAS!!   I hope you've all had the most wonderful day!!

We had a great day, both kids are feeling so much better, and that made this mama SO happy.  : )


I wanted to pop on here to share the most incredible french toast recipe ever!! Last week, a Facebook friend had a status about making French Toast with Cinnabon flavored coffee creamer.  I was very intrigued!  Sadly, Publix was out of that flavor when I went to get our Christmas day fixins', so I had to improvise.  I ended up choosing Nestle's Coffee Mate in Warm Cinnamon Sugar Cookie flavor.   This morning I wanted a quick breakfast, and that's what I got! 



Am I the only mom who loves buying seasonal/holiday paper plates for my kiddos?  Dollar Tree has them for every season/holiday/occasion - I'm a sucker for fun tableware!


 I mixed 4 eggs with the entire container of creamer, plus a liberal dash of cinnamon.  I used 10 pieces of store brand white bread.   It was sweet and delicious with a swirl of maple syrup on top!  We also had a pan of Sister Schubert's pigs n blankets, and some turkey sausage patties and links, served with orange juice and hot cocoa.  Perfect Christmas morning breakfast! : )   It would also be perfect on New Year's Day, or Valentine's Day!

Next time I shop I will try again for the Cinnabon flavor, or I'll just pick a different flavor to try this recipe with!   If you try it, let me know what flavors you enjoy, too!!  

Here are a few pictures from today - my kids didn't get a lot this year, but they did get things they wanted, and we were all home together - and to me, that is the best part of celebrating Christmas - family, and celebrating the birth of Jesus!!  So Merry Christmas, friends, and Happy Birthday, Jesus!!  xoxo

From Santa this year,  Katie got a tablet and a nice purse, plus a bunch of little things.  David got a metal detector and a big Lego Star Wars set, plus lots of little things too!

My sweet boy wanted a Mario game for the Wii - he was positively gleeful when he opened this!

Being almost 18,  we got Katie some really nice jewelry this year - these are pearl and topaz earrings, and she got a matching necklace.  Her brother and her boyfriend also gave her jewelry!

Delicious Brunch Recipe - Sausage Cornbread Bake

Wanted to share the yummy, delicious breakfast casserole we had for our Easter breakfast! It's from the side of my bag of Martha White Buttermilk Cornmeal Mix.

Sausage Cornbread Bake

1 lb sausage - I used Jones Turkey sausage links
1 large onion, chopped (skipped this - we don't like onions!)
2 large eggs
1 1/2 c Martha White Buttermilk Self Rising Cornmeal mix
1 14.75 oz can cream style corn
1/4 c vegetable oil
2 c shredded cheese (used 2% milk cheddar)

Heat oven to 425.  Spray 2 qt baking dish with pam or similar spray.  Brown sausage & onion in medium skillet until thoroughly cooked.  Drain.  Beat eggs in bowl, stir in cornmeal mix, corn, milk, and oil until blended.  Pour half of this mixure into prepared pan.  Sprinkle with sausage mixture, then cheese.  Top with remaining batter.  Bake 30 - 40 minutes.  Cool 10 minutes before cutting/serving.  Makes 6 - 8 servings.  
Delicious with syrup!!
