While we were away for our New Year's celebration, I put myself in charge of making breakfast for the group on New Year's day. I wanted to be able to make something ahead of time and also had a craving for french toast, so when I spotted Frugal Upstate's Overnight French Toast Casserole, I knew it would be a winner!
Because I was able to prepare everything the night before, I didn't have to stand in front of the stove the entire morning AND it was a huge hit (we even had a gluten-free version that was a success too!). I will definitely be adding it to my list of "go-to" breakfasts.
