First off, I’ve got to say a BIG thank you to everyone who said such nice things about my new design. If I could give you all big plates of fruity, whip creamy French toast I would! Your feedback helps me more than you know, and I appreciate it so much, so keep it comin’! :)

Now, onto the good stuff. I don’t know about you, but I’m a nut for French toast. And fruit. And breakfast in general. So, when McCormick contacted me about trying one of their recipes for a spring promotion, I was all up on this one. With a few little tweaks and a whole lot of homemade whipped cream, I had French toast perfection.

  17. I was looking at trying this!!! Looks great!! Do you think soaking overnight is better vs preparing it all at once? Does this method make it soggier??

  18. Soaking overnight just lets the toast soak up more flavor, I think. You can do whichever you prefer!
