Watch Texas French Toast In Action:


Cheesy Ham and Hash Brown Casserole. Put your leftover ham to good use the next morning. If ham isn’t your thing, try bacon, sausage, or go meatless. It’s deliciously cheesy and comforting. A brunch item everyone flocks to.

Lemon Almond Poppyseed Bread. We love our quick breads around here. For one thing, they’re quick. And easy. And always moist ‘n delicious. Lemons, almond, and poppyseed are a trifecta to be reckoned with.

These are the best Cinnamon Rolls with Cream Cheese…ever. I could have done pix of them all lathered up with cream cheese frosting, but these rolls are SO good as they are. That’s not to say we didn’t drizzle on the cream cheese frosting, but I went light on the frosting because the melt-in-your-mouth cinna rolls are THAT good.

    Many of the links only take you to a picture of the dish. Can you fix that? I want to print off the recipes to add to my collection but am getting frustrated when the link won’t take me to the recipe.

      Oh, so sorry; I’ll take a look. Note that most images themselves won’t link to a recipe, but if you click on the text-links in bold, you’ll find your desired recipes. Thanks, Linda!
