Celebrate Sunday mornings with this make-ahead French Toast Casserole from Savory Sweet Life.
The charming, friendly writing and vivid photography of the popular blog Savory Sweet Life translates beautifully to print in Alice Currah’s new cookbook, Savory Sweet Life: 100 Simply Delicious Recipes for Every Family Occasion. Alice, a blogger, wife and mother of three, shares easy, fuss-free meals and treats meant for enjoying with friends and family.
I adore how recipes in this cookbook are organized by everyday occasions, like Father’s Day, a Tween Birthday Bash, Snow Day, Family Game Night and, my favorite, Sunday Mornings. The recipes in each section are meant to serve as inspirations rather than complete menus, but you’ll be tempted to make them all. These are the dishes that family food traditions are made of – simple and delicious recipes that will make any day special.
