Earlier this year I made this simple yet beautiful Berry French Toast Bake. Stuffed with cream cheese and topped with assorted berries, this french toast can be prepared the night before and then popped in the oven the following morning. This would be perfect for when you have house guests or for a holiday brunch.

To get the french toast nice and brown, I simply toasted them a bit with my broiler the last couple of minutes. It was definitely not soggy and was a big hit!
If muffins are more your style, try these Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Muffins. They are a great combination of flavors with the chocolate mixed with oatmeal. My boys especially liked the topping!
