Cinnamon Roll French Toast Bake

Every year this delicious casserole is the main request for our special holiday brunch menu. My kids and hubby can't get enough of this gooey, sweet casserole and we very rarely have leftovers ;) One of my favorite things about this recipe is that it can be made ahead of time and stored in the fridge overnight so it's ready to bake Christmas or Easter morning (we also love bake it on Thanksgiving morning or birthday mornings too :)) which saves me tons of time on holiday mornings & allows me to not spend so much time in the kitchen. ;) I also love that it is an easy recipe to make and my kids enjoy helping me prep the dish. We hope you and your family will create many wonderful memories when you mix up this delicious dish too! 

INGREDIENTS:

2 cans Annie's (no gmo's, all natural) or any other brand of cinnamon rolls you prefer) cinnamon rolls 

1/2 cup butter, melted (1 stick) 

1/3 cup sugar

2 eggs

3/4 cup heavy whipping cream or half & half  

3 tsp. cinnamon

1/4 tsp nutmeg

2 tsp vanilla extract (I prefer homemade pure vanilla extract)

Icing from cinnamon roll packages

*Optional: 1/2 cup chopped pecans


INSTRUCTIONS:

 *Preheat oven to 350' and grease a 9x13 baking dish with coconut oil spray

1. In a large bowl mix melted butter & sugar.

2. Beat in eggs, cream, cinnamon, nutmeg & vanilla.

3. Open cinnamon roll packages & slice each roll into fourths. 

4. Place each piece into the bowl of egg mixture and coat thoroughly. Then place the pieces into a greased 9x13 casserole dish and spread out evenly. 

5. Use any leftover mixture to pour over casserole & sprinkle with pecans if desired.

6. Bake at 350' on low rack for 35-40 minutes or until brown and bubbling (use a toothpick to check if it's done). 

7. Remove from oven and allow to cool for 5-10 minutes. While casserole is cooling heat up icing packets in microwave for 8-10 seconds in a microwave safe dish. Snip end of packet and drizzle over casserole. 

8. Serve and Enjoy!! :)

Homemade Chicken Noodle Soup

 Hello Friends, Happy Wholesome foods Wednesday! (I don't know if that's a thing yet... guess I just made it up if it's not 😆). I don't know if I can think of anything better than a hot cup of homemade soup on a cold rainy afternoon, sitting curled up in a cozy blanket all snuggled by the fire.😍 This recipe is my go to when I want a yummy warm cup of soup on a blustery, cold, wet day or when one of my kiddos is feeling under the weather. It is always an instant pick me up and soothes an upset tummy or an achy, tired body and satisfies my families appetites when they are getting hangry. 😋 To make this extra filling I like to add in a mix of shredded chicken and any ground elk or beef I have on hand (that has already been cooked) for a bit of extra protein.  There is just something so satisfying about a steamy cup of homemade soup on a cold winter day that soothes my soul and warms me up quickly. My family is always so happy to gobble up any homemade soup I present the...

Comprehensive Homeschool Resource List:

  Hello friends,  When I first began homeschooling I remember feeling so overwhelmed with all the choices, the stress and pressure of not knowing where to start and not wanting to make the wrong decisions or miss anything important. It was so much to try and sort through and I didn't know which direction was up. Thankfully I had several friends who had been homeschooling for several years share some of their wisdom with me, gave me tips and pointers and helped answer my questions. That was so invaluable to me as a newbie to homeschooling and I will always be so appreciative of their advice, encouragement and their time. It is my hope that this blog will be like a good friend to turn to when you are feeling stressed and overwhelmed and need somewhere to turn to find some advice and encouragement. I don't have all the answers and I don't know all the tricks, tips or cool home-school hacks but I can share what I've learned from my experiences with you and hope you will fee...
