Today marks a sad anniversary in the United States. Twelve years ago, the greatest terrorist attack stunned our nation in to grief and unity. During the morning and afternoon back in 8th grade, fellow classmates were constantly called to the office and taken home. I remember sitting in my cultures class, daydreaming about my upcoming birthday as a plane passed overhead. For those of you who don’t know, I lived… View Post »
Brioche French toast bake
I used the rest of my brioche loaf to whip up a pan of Brioche French toast. I love French toast anything and I also love casseroles, so I figured that a French toast casserole would be pretty fantastic. My brioche French toast bake is eggy, sweet, and crunchy.

1. It was a short week, so it’s already the weekend! We decided to get crazy and go out to dinner tonight. 2. We took Purrburger to the groomer, so she smells like sunshine and rainbows. The groomer told us she acted like a “perfect angel.” I honestly wondered if they managed to lose my fur monster. Don’t mind me, Mom, it was only $50 for the grooming. 3. My… View Post »
