I am here to tell you Brioche Bread makes the best french toast in the world, hands down!! This bread is rich, buttery and slightly sweet so making it into french toast is a win win. Even if you are not a fan of french toast I think this would convert you. This Brioche French french toast is my new lazy sunday morning brunch running a close second to my Banana Blueberry Waffles.

These Banana Blueberry Waffles are the perfect fruity flavor combination in a waffles that is crisp on the outside but warm and fluffy on the inside. At my house I can buy bananas one week and they disappear so quickly I wonder if we have a monkey hiding in the closet. The next week I can buy them and nobody eats them . This weekend it was the second choice and I had a bowl full of over ripen bananas. My boys love homemade waffles and I decided to incorporate bananas into a basic waffle mix and they were wonderful. I love a warm homemade waffle that is slightly crisp on the outside and nice and soft on the inside. I had some fresh blueberries on hand so these Banana Blueberry Waffles were born.

Let me start off by saying having three active kids in high school is exhausting ! The past two weeks have been crazy and I need a T-shirt that says “I survived Homecoming 2018” . When I was staring at three wrist corsages and three boutonnieres I realized at that moment that I have three sons in High School and I felt very old and tired LOL . The week of Homecoming it seemed like something was going on every night and I seriously did not cook one night that week. Two of my kids loved it , we ordered out every night and they were in take out Heaven. This did not go over well with my autistic son, he expects a home cooked meal everyday. I am in trouble with him and I had to make my meal plan for the week. These Brunch Quesadillas was a perfect way to start off the week! They are hearty enough to eat anytime and they pair well with Easy Fresh Salsa.

These Cake Mix Cinnamon Rolls come from my collection of “furlough rolls”. My husband is a federal employee and he was furloughed during the fall of 2014. To help make ends meet during that time I made and sold cinnamon rolls when I got off work. I came up with several variations of cinnamon rolls in that time and I dubbed them all furlough rolls. When that time passed and my husband was no longer furloughed I swore I would never knead dough again. Once the blisters healed from closing hundreds of pans and the freezer no longer was stocked with pans of rolls that didn’t sell I missed them. These are seriously worth kneading dough again. Back in 2014 I adjusted this recipe many times and could make these without even thinking but not today. I actually had to pull out my handwritten notes.
