Making Memories In The Kitchen

That is a special treat! I love being in the kitchen with the kids, creating delicious recipes and sweet memories!
This is a recipe your older kids can help you make. They can tear the bread into chunks and whisk the egg mixture, while you prepare the sauce.
Be sure to have dad in the kitchen to see how you make this recipe, so he can help create it for you on Mother’s Day! Just remind him the is the perfect Mother’s Day treat!
Make Ahead Recipes Are Great
If your family is not into cooking, you can prepare this recipe ahead of time. For the sauce, pour it into an airtight container. Cut your bread into chunks and place them in a Ziplock bag.
Whisk your eggs together and put them in a container. When you are ready to bake your recipe, add your egg mixture and sauce. Bake according to directions, allow to cool and serve! This post contains affiliate links or images.
