It's so hard to not have a laptop.As you all know, my laptop along with a few other precious items were stolen, so I'm stuck waiting until I get to work to post about all the wonderful things I've been up to. (Like getting into Fash Art this year! But more on that in tomorrow's post).
This past weekend, I made a new blouse, decorated my new phone case, made breakfast, and fell in love with overly priced fabric that I'll never be able to afford.Seriously? $20 a yard? Does that thing sew itself?!Dreams just flying out the window on that one.
But today I'm going to give you something to dream about (and hopefully try).Ever since IHOP emailed me about their new Stuffed French Toast, I said to myself, now that I need to try!
And when I found out how easy it is to do, I was in heaven!Now I didn't let my sweet tooth get the best of me this time. But next time, WATCH OUT!
While you can use anything, cream cheese is the most popular filling. Fruit pastry filling or chopped nuts can be added to the cream cheese or the cream cheese can be topped with fruit.
You will not believe how easy this recipe is to do! If you can make a sandwich, you can make stuffed French toast. In fact, it’s exactly what you're doing: making a sandwich!^.^
