French Toast Casserole

Grandma Jan gave me a really good recipe for french toast.

5 cups bread cubes
4 eggs
1 1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup sugar
1 tsp.vanilla
2 T butter
2 T sugar with 1 tsp. cinnamon
Sprinkle of salt

Spread bread cubes over the bottom of greased 8x8 inch pan. set aside

In bowl beat eggs, milk, 1/4 cup sugar salt and vanilla. Pour over mixture.

Dot with butter and sprinle cinnamon sugar over it. Cover and refrigerate over night.

Uncover and bake in preheated 350 degree oven for 45 minutes.

Grandma puts the pan in another pan with water in it, then it stays soft.
Had it for breakfast this morning really good.

It's a good weekend breakfast you can do the night before. You can also double the recipe and put it in a 9x13 pan.

Liquid Fabric Softener

Here is a CHEAP and EASY alternitive to that pricy liquid fabric softner. This is a very simple solution that is certianly more natural than all the chemicals you are putting in your clothes with the store bought fabric softner and works even better!

I got the hair conditioner on sale (really cheap brand) for .89cents, and of course vinegar is about $2.00 for the 1/2 gallon size so this is MUCH cheaper and "greener"!

Instructions.

3 C vinegar
2 C hair conditioner (any kind)
6 C water

1. In a sealable container (if you have a couple old liquid fabric softener containers, those work well), combine 2 cups hair conditioner (I use a regular sized bottle- a little less than 2 cups), 3 cups vinegar, and 6 cups water

2. Mix all ingredients together

3. Store in air tight container.

4. Use same amount you would use with regular liquid fabric softener
