Blueberry Nectarine French Toast Casserole.

I love making brunch. Even better, I love going out for brunch. Even better than that…..I love bringing stuff I make to a brunch. When my husband’s aunt and uncle came in from Philly this weekend a family brunch was planned at my sister-in-laws place. When we received the evite she said “donations of food” accepted. That’s my kinda hostess.  I quickly emailed her back and told her that I would make a french toast casserole. It’s one of my favorite, quick, simply and totally delish brunch recipes. I tasted this at my cousin Donna’s house one day and I was HOOKED. Even if you’re NOT A COOK, you can make this…..I promise.

Depending on the time of year, I usually pick some cool berry and fruit add-ins to this recipe. If I do say so myself, this turned out pretty darn spectacular AND was so good there were hardly any leftovers – boo hoo

Family is precious – we had a great time and this recipe is a keeper. Enjoy.
