Nothing says perfect weekend breakfast like a tall stack of french toast slathered in maple syrup. Growing up, having french toast usually meant it was a holiday or special occasion in order for us to have something so decadent. Now that I’m older, I’ve learned the beauty in allowing myself to indulge in sweet treats, even making them suitable for the every day (because daily french toast is okay in my book!).
