Last weekend, my family (parents, sisters, brother-in-law and nephew) came for a visit so they could meet baby Simon.  Although they made it clear that they were going to cook and clean so I could relax and recoup from having a baby, I took it as my opportunity to finally have free time in the kitchen while the kids were occupied with grandparents, aunties and uncle. 🙂  This is therapeutic for me.

During this time, I created one of those recipes I was imagining - Angel Food Cake French Toast.  Because I had many visitors to share, it was a perfect breakfast to try!

You do not need to make the cake homemade, but if you do, use this recipe...it's the best.  Slice thick pieces of the Angel Food Cake, dip them in an egg bath, fry on a skillet and bake.  The great thing about baking the toast is you can serve it to a large family all at once.

You can even use an Angel Food Cake that is borderline stale.  Toasting it and baking it will revive it again for a delicious breakfast!

I wrote this recipe post last year, seriously almost a year ago.  Somehow in the middle of adapting to having a newborn again, and then getting through a hot Mississippi summer, it slipped my mind to actually hit "Publish".  It wasn't until late Fall that I realized my mistake, but by then we were all consumed with pumpkin and holiday cooking.  So, I decided to hold off until this Spring to share it.  I wanted to keep what I wrote, though, so I didn't change anything in my story above.  Don't let it confuse you as you read...and remember the setting is May 2013, when Simon was only about a month old. 🙂
