    blueberry french toast bake

    The bread became very soft after soaking all night!

    I don’t like to waste ANY food! I do whatever I can to use food to it’s best and fullest! We had part of a French loaf for the other day that had grown quite hard. I thought I’d try to make a French toast bake, even though it wasn’t soft! It was great! Although we did not eat this for dinner today, it would make a lovely “light” dinner!

    1. This looks really good! I was just thinking about having “breakfast for dinner” tonight – I’ll have to keep this in mind for another time.

    7. I made this (or something close) and it was great. I want to plan prepped meals for when my baby is due; do you think this would work if I prepped it and froze it to then thaw and bake?
