CINNAMON FRENCH TOAST CASSEROLE
This recipes is from a column in the (Raleigh NC) News & Observer by Beverly Mills & Alicia Ross of Desperation Dinners and was suggested to be served for Grandparents' Day (Sept 10th). I haven't made it yet but will try it next weekend when the grandbabies are here. The oldest likes to "help" me cook and I think this would be a good recipe to do w/ her.
