My husband was gone from September to December for his audition rotations for medical school. My girls and I are SO HAPPY to have him back. While he was gone, I decided that we needed to do more things as a family. Now, every Saturday, we are going to make breakfast together. This last Saturday we had this Coconut Crusted French Toast and it was DELICIOUS!
