OH, MAN. It’s been a busy few weeks. I’ve been reading textbooks and writing papers working on the Sustainable Seafood Blog Project and lamenting my inability to understand economics. And then suddenly, out of nowhere, it’s OCTOBER. WHAT?! Ridiculous.
Fortunately, fall means pumpkins. And pumpkins mean pumpkin bread. And pumpkin bread means PUMPKIN BREAD FRENCH TOAST AKA MY NEW FAVORITE THING EVER. (YES THE CAPITAL LETTERS ARE NECESSARY).
But seriously. I can’t believe I never thought of this before. It’s kind of a game-changer. You should probably make it as soon as possible.
Also, I added whiskey. You’re totally welcome.

Jessie:-) It was great meeting you for early Thanksgiving. I am in the recipe “archives” and I think this Pumpkin Bread French Toast with Orange and Whiskey just might have to be Christmas morning breakfast at our house this year…looks yummmmmmmmmmmmy!
Your recipes are so easy. Thanks. I’m going to make most of those appetizers for a party on the 28th. Thanks
GENIUS. Thanks for the splendid, splendid idea!
Important question: what’s your favorite pumpkin bread recipe?? I have my favorite banana bread and zucchini bread recipes, but haven’t found a pumpkin bread recipe I love yet. Thanks 🙂
I have one that I “loosely” adhere to, but My Baking Addiction or Chew Out Loud both have good recipes! I have to get my go-to recipe written down and up on the blog one of these days 🙂
