With back to school just around the corner, I am looking for ways to streamline our routines to make those hectic mornings a little easier. I am stocking our freezer with waffles, pancakes and muffins to have quick and easy breakfasts, as well as keeping easy recipes, like this Overnight Baked Peach French Toast, at the ready at all times.

Overnight Baked Peach French Toast puts a summer twist on our favorite French toast recipe (this Baked Pumpkin French Toast). In lieu of pumpkin and spices, it has delicious, juicy peaches in every bite. Otherwise it is made with the same cinnamon bread cut into cubes, the same wonderful buttery brown sugar oat crumble topping that everyone loves and also made lighter using nonfat evaporated milk. Everything about this Overnight Baked Peach French Toast is just so good…and easy too!…

Oatmeal Raisin Muffins are a wholesome snack, or breakfast on-the-go, made delicious with raisins, oats, buttermilk and brown sugar.

The other day after school, while Greta was napping, Adam presented me with a cookbook. A cookbook that was all about muffins. That’s my kind of cookbook! He proceeded to point out several recipes that we should make…now! I was inspired by an Oatmeal Breakfast Muffin, but needed to switch up the ingredients to use up what we had on hand (no way am I waking the baby to go to the store!) After a quick peek in the pantry, I found oatmeal, brown sugar, buttermilk and California Raisins. Sounds like the makings of a tasty Oatmeal Raisin Muffin!…
