French Toast

I love to try lots of new recipes. My husband is REALLY good about trying anything and everything I make. Saturday at the grocery store we (I) were kinda planning meals as we shopped. Then I decided to make French Toast. He loves french toast. I usually prefer pancakes. And I haven't made it for a long time. So I decided to make some for him for Sunday breakfast.

I like to buy bread at the grocery store bakery and cut it myself for nice thick French toast slices. They didn't have any uncut. I was bummed and considered using cinnamon bread, but those slices are so darned thin. Then I remembered seeing Texas toast over by the deli. I've never used it before, but the slices are nice and thick, so I thought I'd give it try. Am I glad I did!!
