Being in class for the last three weeks has been a wonderful and incredibly worthwhile experience, but it has kept me from Yankee Belle, specifically my summer food series. Tonight my attempt at cooking returned.

Last night Chad and a couple buddies traveled to his parent's house in the Blue Ridge mountains to wake up to a very early, yet peaceful, morning of fishing. Not my kind of fun, but the boys seemed to have a great time! When Chad returned home he was pretty tired. As he caught up on some sleep I decided to make breakfast for dinner-an easy fix, but for some reason I got caught up on the French toast. French toast! Who gets caught up on French toast? Well, the French toast is certainly not blog worthy, but it did ignite a curiosity in me for creative and savory French toast recipes. Here are a few scrumptious looking ones I dug up.
