Overnight French Toast

Spray 3 qt. dish with Pam or cooking spray.

Cut up a loaf of French bread in 1" pieces and place in dish.

Mix together:
6 eggs
1 ½ cups of half & half
1 ½ cups of milk
1 tsp. vanilla
1 tsp cinnamon
½ tsp nutmeg

Pour over bread and cover.  Put in refrigerator overnight

Topping:
½ cup of butter
½ cup of brown sugar
½ oatmeal
½ cup flour
Mix together until crumbly & then add
½ cup of chopped nuts

In the morning, crumble the topping over the bread and bake at 350 degrees for about 40 minutes.

Note: This topping was from a Martha Stewart program.  You can adjust the quantity to whatever amount you need.  Just mix equal quantities of the five ingredients.  Cinnamon and nutmeg can also be added.  We use it on everything from cobblers to muffins.

Will's Granola

4 ½ cups old fashioned rolled oats
3/4 cup shelled raw unsalted sunflower seeds
1 ½ cups slivered raw almonds
2 tablespoons of cinnamon
1/3 cup pure maple syrup
1/3 cup honey
1/3 cup agave
1/3 cup canola oil
½  cup craisins + ½ cup raisins

Mix oats, sunflower seeds & cinnamon in large bowl.  Add liquids.  Stir together and allow to sit for at least 30 minutes.  Stir occasionally.
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Spread in a jelly roll pan and bake for about 25 minutes, stirring 10-15 minutes. Bake until it begins to turn brown.  Add nuts and bake a few minutes more.  After taking out of the oven add craisins & raisins.

Will is sometimes a bit creative & adds other kinds of nuts, fruits & seeds. He particularly likes Trader Joe’s Toasted Almond Slivers and Toasted Sunflower Seeds.
