Well hello all, I hope you all are ready for Christmas. Can you believe it’s next Friday??? This year has flown by. As you may (or may not) remember I had the amazing opportunity to attend the Nestle Family Event back in October. The event was amazing and I loved getting to work with the company I had loved for all my 30 years. While there they gave us lots of recipes to make in our homes and I thought I would share a couple with you today.
The recipes today are breakfast recipes, so if you have a Christmas dinner (we do an early lunch) these will be great to make on Christmas morning. I am going to be sharing the recipes for Pear Oven Pancakes and Eggnog-Spiced French Toast. I hope you enjoy these and since I haven’t had the chance to make these particular recipes yet, you must let me know how they turn out.

Next I am sharing off the provided recipe cards the recipe for Eggnog-Spiced French Toast. I am anxious to make this one as I LOVE LOVE LOVE french toast. I have always loved it since I was small, it brings back memories of my grandma cooking it for me and stove top hot chocolate.

I should eat something other than chocolate on this day after Christmas : ) I’m going to try your pear oven pancakes. I haven’t eaten them baked before, or with pears – which are my favorite fruit this time of year. Thanks a bunch!
OMG these sound so good! Gives me an excuse to go out and buy egg nog. We usually forget we have it in the house and then it just goes off on us.
Those pear pancakes sound sooo delicious! I’d love to see pictures.

This sounds really good, I am such a breakfast person too.
The pancake sounds like something my German Grandmother used to make but without the pears. It was delicious, nice and puffy and airy. The trench toast sounds good also! Both of these would make a good breakfast for dinner meal.
Wow!! I’m definitely surprising hubby with the egg nog spiced French toast he loves both and what could be better than putting the two together thanks!
Sounds great!
I have to try the eggnog spiced french toast for my son, he loves eggnog and I’ll bet this will be a big hit with him. Thank You!
This looks sinfully good especially the pear pancakes. I want this for Mothers Day in bed and afterwards a bath with candles. OK I am dreaming but it sure sounds good.
This eggnog french toast sounds awesome and perfect for this time of year! The pear pancake looks beautiful too!
