Blueberry-Raspberry French Toast Bake

Today we mark the countdown...60 calendar days until graduation.  It hit me this past weekend...OH MY GOSH, I only have 2 months to knock out everything that needs to be done before graduation!

Any other person would think, oh I have two months, that's plenty of time.  Well, true to my DNA and personality, you would think I am planning a wedding for royalty.  I started with "the list" that my family dreads (but secretly I know they do love and appreciate it) keeps them on track!

So in between life, pre-college meetings and orientations, Senior school events, and Prom we're taking on this list one line item at a time, in addition to a few grad surprises I am making for the twins.

One thing that I am always adamant about, just to put my mind at ease is menu planning for all our guests and the graduation luncheon.  My thoughts are if someone is taking the time and money to come visit you, the least you can do is make it memorable and no one goes hungry...not on my watch...never!

I have no doubt that this Berry French Toast Bake will make an appearance at some point during visitors week.  This is right out of a Bed and Breakfast morning buffet scenario...so, so good, warm and comforting!
