Like many, my husband and I will take time off from work between Christmas and New Year’s Day. I hope a few of those days will be lazy days, unscheduled, and will start with a leisurely breakfast. We often make Oven Baked French Toast on our lazy days, served with fresh squeezed orange juice, hot tea and plenty of pure maple syrup. Shantivanam Forest of Peace is a community east of Leavenworth, Kansas where we retreat from time to time. The food is always vegetarian and delicious. We always return refreshed and restored tummy and spirit! This recipe comes from their cookbook, Fed by the Forest. Call 913-773-8255 to order their cookbook and to schedule a retreat of your own.
