French Toast with Peanut Butter might just be one of my favourite fall recipes – although, it’s pretty good any time of the year realistically :). The kids are back in school and a more structured routine has been settling into place for many of us over the past few weeks, but today marks the official first day of the fall season.
Yes, it is time to bring out those pumpkins and dried corn stalks on the front porch people!
Just in time to keep those Sunday morning extra special – and comfy, cozy into this season ahead of us – I have a new mouth-watering recipe for you to try that is sure to please the whole household… French toast!
Kicked up a notch with some classic PB & J flavour.
This recipe is very straight-forward to prepare, so it’s a great one to get the kids involved too!
